Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 360

Chapter 360

Even though Farrell knew Mamie was knocking back the booze, he didn't lift a finger to stop her.

Agnes had a hunch that Farrell was gearing up to make his move. After all, the guy was a heavy hitter in the entertainment scene. Someone like him couldn't possibly be as innocent as he appeared.

Agnes had a bad feeling in her gut. But, you know, Farrell and Mamie kinda made a good pair. Besides, Farrell had been head over heels for Mamie, chasing after her for five long years. Everything he did was for Mamie. If the two of them ended up logether, it might even make for a good story in the showbiz world. However, Agnes felt like she was betraying Ivan. If she was in the dark, that would be one thing. But she was the only one who knew about Ivan's feelings for

Mamie

After wrestling with her thoughts, Agnes decided to give van a ring

Upon hearing about Farrell getting Mamie drunk again, Ivan cursed under his breath. Then he told Agnes, "Agnes, keep an eye on them. Don't let him take Mamie anywhere. I'm on my way"

Coincidentally, Ivan was out of town on a business trip in'S City. When he said he'd be there soon, he probably meant within half an hour.

After hanging up, Agnes turned around to replace Beatrice glaring at her.

Beatrice looked down on Agnes, "You wern on the phone with Ivan, weren't you, Agnes? I didn't expect you to be so greedy. You're even trying to seduce Ivan."

"Only someone with a scheming mind would think that making a phone call is seducing someone." Agnes didn't bother to argue with her.

She needed to get back to the private room and keep an eye on Mamie. If Mamie and Farrell got up to anything tonight, Ivan would be pissed.

Meanwhile, Beatrice watched Agnes walk away, a hint of malice in her eyes. She had clearly overheard Agnes say some flirtatious things on the phone like "Til wait for you" and "I can't do this without you". Agnes was bold, alright. She had a catch like Jared and she was still fooling around with Ivan.

She'd been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, and it looked like tonight was the perfect chance.

Beatrice also walked into the private room.

Mamie looked like she had had one too many. She was leaning on Farrell's shoulder, still drinking and playing games. Agnes couldn't stand it anymore and decided to step in. If things kept going this way, Ivan wouldn't make it in time.

The others were all drunk, some were singing, some were playing games, and most were hanging around the director.

While no one was paying attention, Beatrice pulled something small out of her bag, something that looked like a piece of candy. She unwrapped it and, as she passed by Agnes's seat, she dropped a white pill into Agnes's insulated water bottle

Agnes didn't drink alcohol. She carried this water bottle everywhere. It contained fruit juice- either orange or apple-that her assistant squeezed for her every day. Agnes had been sipping this juice all night. Agnes was still trying to talk Mamie out of drinking more when Farrell got up from his seat, slurring "Mamie's drunk. I'll take her home."

Agnes was on edge.

If Farrell really did take Mamie home, it would be a disaster. Agnes didn't even want to think about what could happen next.
