Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 855

When Leo called him, he was still inside the Tim Tower.

Hearing that Agnes was delivering lunch, he had declined Valeria's offer and went straight up to meet her.

Some folks saw her heading to the rooftop with Ryder. That's when Jared decided to show up. And there he found them having lunch together.

Perched on the edge of the rooftop, it was both romantic and thrilling. And they seemed to be enjoying each other's company immensely.

Jared could hardly remember how many times he had stumbled upon them together. And each time, he had to wrestle with his feelings. But now, it was getting harder to convince himself.

Ryder meant something different to Agnes, something undeniable.

Even if there weren't any romantic feelings between them, she clearly held him in a special regard.

Jared could sense a particular trust and dependence Agnes had for Ryder—something they had missed in the four years they had been apart, and it bothered him.

In the end, Jared turned away. Approaching them now would only show a lack of grace.

He knew Ryder's game; he was just looking for an opportunity to swoop in. That's precisely why Jared had to leave.

After lunch, Agnes left the Tim Tower. On her way out, she bumped into Leo.

Leo was surprised to see her, and he asked, "Agnes, didn't you run into the boss?"

Agnes shook her head.

Leo found it strange; the boss had definitely returned and had gone to the rooftop looking for her.

Had they missed each other again?

Without delay, Leo said, "The boss is back, he's in his office right now. Don't you want to go see him?"

Agnes shook her head again, replying, "I have to clock in for work, I need to leave now."

With that, Agnes turned and entered the elevator.

Leo sensed something odd in the air. Just then, he saw Ryder coming from the same safety passage Agnes had used.
