Chapter 299

Ivan gradually regained his composure.

Agnes said, "The real reason I came today is to talk about signing a contract with you?

Ivan asked, "Why the sudden interest in a contract?*

Agnes answered honestly, "Because I need the money."

"What would the CEO of the Tim Group think if he heard his wife talking like this?"

"I'm not joking around here. I hope that after I sign the contract, you'll arrange more work for me."

Ivan turned serious again. "No problem. You're really very popular now, signing with you is a win for our company"

"All right, get the contract ready. I want to sign as soon as possible, the sooner the better. Also, please transfer the signing fee to my account ASAP"

Ivan said, "Your contract is ready. If you want to sign, we can do it now."

Agnes was slightly surprised, "So, my signing with Century Entertainment was part of your plan?"

"I hadn't even figured out how to use your contract, but you preempted me." Ivan said frankly. Agnes chuckled, "Then let's sign now"

As they were signing, Ivan teased her, "Aren't you going to think it over? Aren't you scared I'll keep using you? Don't forget, I'm a schemer

Agnes didn't even lift her head, "Not scared. I know all your secrets. Worst case scenario, we both go down."

"Agnes, you're ruthless."

After they finished signing the contract.

Agnes said, "Mr. Bartley, before I officially start work, I would like a few days off"

"Sure. Is a week enough?"

"Enough."Ivan didn't ask her why.

The reason Agnes wanted time off was to visit her grandmother in the countryside.

She hadn't seen her grandmother in a long time.

In a few days, it would be her mother's death anniversary. Her grandmother would definitely be very sad.

Every year, Agnes would go to the countryside for a few days to keep her elderly grandmother company

After leaving the Century Building. Agnes called Jared.

After hearing her out, Jared stayed silent for a moment, then said, "You go home first. Fil'accompany you in the afternoon." Agnes was shocked, "I'll be gone for a week! Do you have the time?"

"Agnes, don't forget, I'm the boss."

He was the boss, so he should be busier. As far as Agnes could remember, Jared had never taken a day off.

"You really don't have to come with me. I can go alone. You're not used to country life"

"Agnes, are you plotting something?"

Agnes was taken aback, "What do you mean?”

"Why are you trying so hard to prevent me from visiting your grandmother?"

Agnes was stumped. She was just worried that Jared, who had always lived a privileged life, wouldn't be able to adapt to the rural environment.

Jared said, "That's settled then, you go home first. I'll be back after my meeting."

"Hold on," Agnes said, "I need to stop by my father's house first. I left some clothes I bought for my grandmother there."

"Alright, then I'll pick you up from the villa"

After hanging up, Agnes headed to the Pritchard family's villa.

She had previously bought some new winter clothes and shoes for her grandmother, planning to bring them this time.

Preston and Laura weren't home. Once she got to the villa, Agnes went to her room and started packing.

Just then, Beatrice came home

She had gone to audition for the lead role in a famous director's new drama, but was eliminated in the first round

She was looking for an excuse to vent her anger

Seeing Agnes packing in her room, she kicked open the door and stormed in, "Agnes, you're such a big start Even the SH Gala is part of your performance." Agnes glanced at Beatrice, a cool indifference in her gaze.
