Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 675

In the evening, Phenix unexpectedly showed up, "Albert is coming over today."

Agnes barely managed to sit up from her bed, "What? Why is he coming?"

"He recently bought several vineyards in Bordeaux. Today he's meeting with some of the major wine merchants from home, and he's arranged to see them here."

Agnes responded, "If it's something that requires Albert's personal attendance, it must be a big deal."

Phenix nodded, "Indeed it is. Albert is keen on developing the high-end wine market back home. These days, Kearney is transitioning with the French side. You should attend tonight."

Agnes shook her head, "I don't understand the world of business."

"But Albert specifically asked for you. It seems like he wants you to be involved in this new market. If you're not willing, you can tell Godfather yourself."

Agnes was troubled.

In the beginning, Reggie Albert did not interfere with her life. But since returning home this time, he has been quite keen on having her take over part of his business.

Agnes decided to go, because she had a favor to ask him.

Seeing her downcast, Phenix had someone apply nice makeup look on her.

As she was being made up, Agnes was deep in thought.

When she finally looked up, she hardly recognized herself in the mirror. Her makeup was done in a bold, smoky-eye style, complete with fiery red lipstick.

Agnes reached for a wipe, "Phenix, why did you make me up like this?"

Phenix stopped her, "Don't complain, you look great. You've been so down lately, even heavy makeup can't hide your dark circles. Enough, let's go. Albert is waiting."

Agnes didn't say much. She looked so different that even if she stood in front of Jared, he probably wouldn't recognize her.

But then, Agnes paused. Why was she thinking about Jared again?

Agnes followed Phenix to a private room. The private room was actually a small building.
