Upon hearing these words, Agnes blushed even more. Their relationship hadn’t been confirmed yet; it couldn’t even be considered dating. However, Agnes hid her feelings well and agreed to all the elderly woman’s requests, aligning herself with her wishes.
Grandma wasn’t alone; her attendants waited at the door. Having not seen Agnes for some time, the elderly woman couldn’t help but chat with her for a while. Outside the glass walls of the cafe, Lisa watched this peaceful and warm scene without any expression on her face, feeling a surge of sadness in her heart. Grandma used to treat her like this…
After about twenty minutes, the two inside stood up to leave, and Lisa vanished outside. Agnes, smiling, escorted Grandma to the car and waved goodbye to her.
“Bubu, make sure to come home often when you have time!” Grandma said kindly. “We all like you very much and welcome you to visit often.”
“Okay, Grandma!” Agnes’s voice was clear and pleasant. “Goodbye, Grandma!”
Watching the car drive away, Agnes turned and walked towards the company entrance. As she approached the door, a delivery boy came up to her. “Miss Campbell?”
Agnes stopped and looked at him with a hint of confusion. They had never met before; how did he know her name?
“Hello, I am,” she nodded.
The delivery boy handed her an envelope. “Hello, this is your document. Please sign for it.”
A document? She took the envelope and looked at it. The name and phone number on the delivery slip were hers, but she had no idea what it was. She quickly signed for it and thanked him before entering the company.
Lisa hid in a corner and watched the scene unfold.
Taking the elevator upstairs, Agnes returned to her office with the envelope, still puzzled. Sitting in her office chair, she opened the envelope and found photos inside. When she saw what was in the photos, Agnes’s breath caught and her heart skipped a beat.
It was Tom and Lisa… He seemed to be standing outside a research institute, with Lisa smiling brightly while holding something, as if waiting for him on purpose.
Honestly, seeing such a scene made Agnes feel very uncomfortable. The man she longed for even in her dreams was now standing in front of Lisa; they could interact with each other. She was really jealous! But she remained calm and analyzed who took these photos and who sent them.
It must have been Lisa who sent them, so did she have someone take them? If she had someone take them, could they have been staged? Agnes analyzed calmly: if Tom liked her even a little bit, there wouldn’t have been a fake engagement.
So this matter… Agnes wouldn’t fall for it, but seeing such photos still made her very jealous. If only she were the one standing in front of him…
Mr. Kitten… it’s been so long…
Sitting in her office chair, Agnes ignored the woman in the photos and gently stroked Tom’s face with her fingertip, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. She really missed him… She even thought about taking a vacation to see him but didn’t know if he was too busy or feared disturbing him. She loved him cautiously and felt incredibly conflicted inside.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang; it was an unfamiliar number. She stared at it for a long time with a sense of foreboding…
The ringtone continued. She swiped to answer and put the phone to her ear without speaking, holding her breath as she listened intently.
