Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 155

Agnes was headed off to the set early in the morning, and she left the house together with Jared. When they were heading out, Ryder was fixing his bike. It looked like he had a flat tire.

Even though it was summer break, Ryder still went to Lakeside College every day.

The medical program at Lakeside College was notoriously tough. Even during summer break, they had to keep doing experiments.

Jared glanced over, "Hop in, Ryder. I'm headed to Lakeside College anyway."

Ryder's bike wasn't getting fixed anytime soon, so he didn't refuse.

Agnes sat in the passenger seat, while Ryder took the back. Through the rear-view mirror, she could see Ryder engrossed in his medical books all the way.

Such a nerd.

They arrived at Lakeside College in no time, and Ryder got out first.

Before Agnes could get out, Jared grabbed her arm.

Agnes was puzzled, "What's up?"

When Jared pointed to his cheek, Agnes immediately understood, blushed and leaned over to plant a quick kiss on his cheek. Then she got out of the car in a hurry.

Jared said, "Call me when you're done, I'll pick you up."

Agnes replied, "No need, the last scene today is at Maplewood Manor. I'll just go home after."

Jared was satisfied and drove off.

After he left, Agnes noticed that Ryder hadn't left after getting off the car. He was standing right across from her, about a few feet away. Which meant, he definitely saw her kissing Jared.

Agnes felt mortified. But she then decided that as his elder, she should act like one.

Jared gave out bonuses? She had no idea.

Agnes said, "Alright, enough with the jokes. The director's here, we're about to start."

Everyone stopped fooling around when they heard the director was coming. They quickly got into their positions and started doing their makeup.

Beatrice walked in with a gloomy expression and sat down in silence. Her things made a loud clatter.

Today's script included a scene between Beatrice and Agnes, which was also Beatrice's last scene.

The scene was set in a closed-off villa. In the movie, Beatrice played Ruby, who was in love with the male lead, Samie. She was jealous of his girlfriend, Sylvia.

Today's scene was a party scene. It was Samie's birthday and he was throwing a pool party at his house. Ruby, out of jealousy towards Sylvia, planned to push her into the pool but was found out. In the end, it was Ruby who fell into the pool, causing an embarrassing scene.
