Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 507

Chapter 507

As soon as Agnes got home, she saw Nate coming over with a stack of documents.

"Here's the info you asked for, Nate said.

Nate kept things simple and only said what's necessary. It's a habit she's had for many years, always keeping her words to a minimum. Now she had made great changes. Agnes remembered it took her a whole year to get Nate to utter his first words to her.

Agnes flipped through the documents.

These were all the details on the busted officer Lundy, including his ID number, phone number, home address, and family information.

Agnes didn't expect Nate to dig up all this so quickly.

Now was the time to act. Agnes had worked for so many years and had always been very serious. Except for the time when she had Nocturne, she rarely took time off.

But this time, she took a whole month off.

She planned to head back to Willowbrook Town.

There were things she needed to get a handle on, and decisions that needed to be made

Jared Whitfield had been in Manhattan for half a month.

Ever since he caught a glimpse of that person's side profile, he hadn't seen them again.

The face was becoming blurrier in Jared's mind.

The harder he tried to remember it, the more uncertain he felt.

Leo noticed his boss had been acting weird lately.

Jared had wrapped up his work in Manhattan perfectly, and there were still a ton of important things waiting for him to deal with in Willowbrook Town, along with some important meetings that needed his decision.

But he just stayed here, not going back.

He spent every day just driving around the streets aimlessly.

He walked back and forth at one intersection dozens of times. Leo was totally at a loss about what the boss was thinking. When Leo walked over, Jared was spacing out at his desk.

He didn't even notice him come in

"Boss," Leo prompted.

Jared snapped back to reality.

He looked up at Leo, asking, "Any news on the kid?"

These days, the boss had been looking for information about the little boy

The boss seemed to care a lot about the little boy.

The kid clearly had narcolepsy

The boss left him a business card, but the boy's parents never reached out.

Though they met by chance, it was clear that the boss took a shine to the kid.

Leo knew Ryder Whitfield was a neurology expert, Jared might want to get the kid treated there.

But the boy's parents never called.

The boss asked him to do some digging.

Leo shook his head. There are a lot of people named Summer in Manhattan. I've eliminated some, but I still haven't found info on the kid."

Jared frowned. "Even Mr. K can't replace any info on the kid?"

"Mr. K has tried his best. He's even more interested in the kid than you are. But he hasn't found any useful info. There's also the possibility that the kid is not a local" Jared had considered this possibility

Jared was silent for a while

Leo asked, "Boss, should I continue the search?"

Jared let out a sigh. "No need, he's just a kid i bumped into once"

Leo breathed a sigh of relief.

Jared always threw him these curveballs. He's just a secretary, but he's being pushed to act like a private detective.

After updating him on work progress, Leo finally said, "Boss, your dad called today asking when you're coming home Jared's frown deepened.
