Yolanda's fingers were gripping the steering wheel with a vice-like intensity.
Could it be that the two of them had rekindled their old flame?
Yet, as hard as she tried, Yolanda couldn't bring herself to believe it.
If they had, surely the media would be buzzing with the news.
After all, Jared's fiancée was Valeria. Had it not been for that that actress' conniving schemes, they would have already been engaged.
Valeria, a top-tier manager at the Thomas Group, was miles above Agnes in terms of status and capability.
Yolanda mulled over the idea, but still couldn't see Agnes and Jared getting back together.
In her mind, Mrs. Whitfield's place was still reserved for Valeria.
It must have been a fleeting spark of interest, seeing his ex-wife from four years ago still as beautiful as ever.
Even if Agnes regretted exposing the Whitfield family's scandal and wished to climb the social ladder, the Whitfield family wouldn’t allow her to.
Despite her logical reasoning, Yolanda's heart was seething with anger at the thought of them leaving together. She refused to believe that after four years, she could lose to Agnes.
The next day at work, Agnes noticed people were giving her strange looks, but she was clueless about what had transpired.
Whilst grabbing a cup of coffee, she decided to probe Ramona for some answers.
Hesitant, Ramona divulged, "The office is buzzing with rumors about you and Mr. Whitfield, Agnes. I'd advise you to tread carefully. Mr. Whitfield may be young and successful, but he's also a notorious playboy. His love life is a carousel of actresses and socialites, not a game we common folks can afford to play."
Ramona's advice was sincere.
Amused, Agnes responded, "Why would there be such rumors in the office?"
