Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 19

Agnes never thought that a dude like Jared would be caught dead in the kitchen. Wasn’t a guy like him supposed to be all about takeouts and dining out?

But you had to hand it to him, watching him cook was a sight for sore eyes. Every move he made was like watching a masterpiece in the making.

Turning around, Jared caught Agnes in his view. "Off to school?" he asked.

Agnes just nodded, almost robotically.

"Breakfast is ready. Eat before you go." Jared suggested in the most nonchalant manner.

Thinking about last night's events, Agnes was still down in the dumps.

She sat down silently and started on her breakfast.

The breakfast was the whole nine yards. Jared's pancakes were to die for. But right now, all Agnes wanted to do was skedaddle out of there. So, she wolfed down her food hastily she burned her tongue.

Just as Jared was about to sit down, Agnes was already done. Dropping her fork, she announced, "I gotta jet. It's the opening ceremony today, can't be late."

Jared could sense that something was off. Frowning, he asked, "Agnes, do you remember anything from last night?"

Acting all innocent, Agnes replied, "What happened last night? I don't remember a thing."

Jared's eyes flickered for a moment before asking, "Do you want me to drop you off at school?"

"No need, it's not far away. I can walk."

The room went dead silent after Jenny's suggestion.

Everyone knew who Jared was. He was this untouchable, big-shot figure. Reportedly, no media had ever successfully interviewed him.

Even Lily thought Jenny was shooting for the moon. Lily responded, "That's a pipe dream, Jenny. Though Jared is one of the most influential figures in Willowbrook Town and a great fit for our magazine, he's notoriously hard to get in touch with. Even mainstream media can't land an interview with him, let alone us."

Jenny retorted, "That's exactly why we should try. What if we pulled it off? If we managed to get an exclusive interview with Jared, our Journalism Society would become the bee's knees. Plus, we wouldn't have to chase after people anymore, they would be lining up for us."

Another member chimed in, "Easier said than done. Why on earth would Jared agree to our interview?"

Jenny, with a glint in her eyes, responded, "I think this task should be given to Agnes."
