Chapter 146

Ava said, “He’s alone in the lounge, looking a bit down in the dumps. Even Yvonne got a piece of his mind.”

Agnes replied, “III go check on him”

Watching Agnes’s retreating figure, everyone was green with envy.

Within the cast, Agnes was the darling of everyone, from the director to producers and even the grumpy Justin

It was clear as day that Justin had a soft spot for Agnes His protective streak towards her was legendary, even his home–cooked meals were reserved for her alone

Everyone thought Agnes was one lucky gal to have won Justin’s favor

However, she ended up picking Jared

When Agnes pushed the door open, Justin was there, stewing in his juices.

Seeing Agnes approach, his mood worsened

Agnes approached Justin, who snorted and turned his back on her.

Agnes picked up a mirror from the makeup table and held it up to Justin, “Justin, look at yourself when you’re pissed off…”

Justin gave her a cold stare.

Agnes quickly switched gears, “You look so damn good even when you’re mad, truly the hottie of the entertainment industry”

Justin was indeed the looker of the entertainment industry, his beauty was irresistible.

Hearing Agnes’s praise, Justin finally cracked a smile. He took the mirror, glanced left and right, “Of course, no one’s more good–looking than me

Agnes eagerly nodded, agreeing, “No one can hold a candle to your charm.

Justin asked, “Even better–looking than Jared?”

Agnes was taken aback but continued to flatter Justin, “You’re the best–looking”

Justin seemed to perk up, put down the mirror, “Then why did you choose him over me?”

This wasn’t a buffet, you can’t compare.

Agnes carefully chose her words, “Justin, you don’t really like me, you’re just nostalgic for the girl who once gave you chocolates.”

“But that girl is you”

“It’s not the same. What you missed was that moment of warmth. Over the years, you’ve projected all your feelings for that girl onto me. You’re in love with the girl in your memories, but that girl isn’t me.”

Justin looked puzzled, a hint of disappointment on his face, “So, this is why you rejected me?”

Agnes looked troubled, “Justin…”

Justin suddenly waved a dismissive hand, “Enough. I saw your press conference; your lovey–dovey act was something else. I accept that you like Jared, but if one day, you two divorce, come replace me. As long as you’re willing. I’ll marry you. I can wait for you.”

“We won’t break up, you might not need to wait any longer, so you won’t end up alone with regrets. A cold voice came from the doorway,

Both occupants turned towards the door.

Jared was standing there.

Dressed in a clean white shirt, he stood out like a sight for sore eyes.

Justin frowned, “You were eavesdropping”

Jared walked in, “I wasn’t eavesdropping, I was openly listening”

That got Justin even more riled up

Agnes stood up, looking puzzled, “Why are you here so early?”

Jared glanced at Justin, “If I hadn’t come early, how would I have found out about someone trying to drive a wedge between us?”

Justin also stood up

Both men were around the same height, emitting a powerful aura.

Agnes instinctively took a step back, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
