Agnes couldn't take Nocturne away from Jared without raising suspicion.
She even considered asking Ryder for help.
But Ryder's been busy attending a medical summit in Manhattan.
And even if Ryder did intervene, there was no guarantee it wouldn't make Jared suspicious.
Still, Agnes kept tabs on Nocturne's whereabouts every day.
She found that Nocturne's daily locations were between Tim Tower and Maplewood Manor.
The fact that Jared was taking Nocturne to the office everyday was beyond Agnes' expectations.
It only made her worry more.
With so many people in the office, rumors were bound to fly.
Tim Tower, Jared's office.
When Leo walked in with some documents, Jared was sitting in his office chair, staring blankly at his computer.
Lately, Mr. Whitfield had been spacing out a lot.
Leo knocked on the door.
Finally, Jared came back to reality and said, "Come in."
After Leo reported on the work progress of the past few days, he told Jared, "Mr. Whitfield, the engagement party invitations are ready for you to review."
With that, Leo placed an invitation on Jared's desk.
The invitation was in an envelope style, with the names of Jared and Valeria on it.
It was very simple, but had a nostalgic feel to it, especially with both of their names printed on it, giving it a unique charm.
Jared only glanced at it briefly without even opening it.
He said, "Tell Valeria, anything she likes is fine. Don't bother showing me this stuff anymore."
Leo did as he was told.
Everyone at the Tim Group knew that Mr. Whitfield was getting engaged in a week.
The media had been reporting on it for half a month.
