Agnes strolled in, making herself comfortable on the couch and gently ruffling Nocturne's hair.
Jared got her a warm cup of coffee, asking, "How's your first day at work?"
Agnes shrugged, "It's not bad, just a bit surprising."
"What surprised you?"
"Nothing much, just bumped into an old friend," Agnes casually brushed it off, deliberately changing the subject. She didn't want Jared to know about Yolanda just yet. With his personality, he would certainly get involved.
And if Yolanda was really trying to bury the hatchet, Jared's interference might just mess things up.
Eventually, Jared finished his work for the day, and Nocturne was fully awake. They headed to a steakhouse for dinner and later attended a concert. By the time they got back home, it was already late into the night.
Agnes tucked a sleeping Nocturne into his bed. Jared snuck up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist, "Agnes, I feel incredibly happy right now."
Agnes smiled, "Don't worry, we'll always be this happy."
The next morning, after breakfast, Agnes and Jared headed to work. The TV station wasn't far from Tim Tower. Jared had intended to drop Agnes off, but she refused.
Jared's car was the only one of its kind in Willowbrook Town. How could people not recognize it? Even those who didn't would definitely give a luxury car like his a second look.
