Chapter 163
Jared stepped out of the private room to take a call.
Although Agnes was physically there, her mind trailed after Jared. Shawn noticed her preoccupation
and reassured her, “No need to worry. I just checked, it’s a call from his company secretary. Probably
something work-related stuff. Jared isn’t like us. He doesn’t have a lot of female friends. Over the
years, there’s really only been Mamie.”
Shawn realized he’d put his foot in his mouth. He slapped his forehead in exasperation, “Look at me,
blabbering away. Don’t mind me, Agnes. I’ll punish myself with three drinks.”
And he did, downing three shots even though Agnes told him it wasn’t necessary. Despite her words,
she did feel a bit awkward. If even their friends knew about Jared and Mamie being a long time couple,
their feelings for each other must be pretty deep.
Agnes had never asked about Jared and Mamie, nor dared to. At least for now, Jared was a dutiful
husband, always by her side.
As for Mamie, Agnes decided to let time handle that issue.
Suddenly, the door to the private room swung open. Agnes looked over, expecting Jared. But, as the
saying went, speak of the devil.
In walked Mamie.
The lively room turned awkwardly quiet. No one expected Mamie to show up here. Even Brayden was
surprised. As he had purposely not invited Mamie, knowing Jared would be there.
Mamie walked in, dressed in a long black dress with a matching blazer draped over her shoulders. Her
makeup was flawless, her long, waves of hair were perfect, and she radiated authority.
“Brayden, you didn’t invite me to your birthday party. Isn’t that a bit disrespectful?” Mamie asked as she
walked in.
Brayden quickly apologized, “Mamie, you’re a big star, always busy. I didn’t want to trouble you. It’s just
a simple birthday party, no need to take it to heart.”
Mamie handed over a box, “This is your birthday gift.”
Brayden was thrilled, “Mamie, you’re too kind.”
He opened the box to find a limited-edition watch.
“I know you collect watches. I had this one brought back from Germany. It’s part of a limited edition of a
hundred, not yet released, I’m sure you’ll love it.” Mamie said. “Nobody spoils me like you do, Mamie.
Thanks, I love it.” Brayden replied.
Mamie scanned the room, her gaze finally landing on Agnes. Everyone became anxious, especially
Brayden, who looked worried.
Mamie’s sudden appearance at his birthday party and her extravagant gift surely had a purpose. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Except for Jared, she hardly gave any of them a second thought. Her showing up today was likely
because she knew Jared would be there. But
parut Jared wasn’t around. H
wasn’t around. His young wife didn’t look like she could handle Mamie. If Mamie picked a fight, there’d
be no telling how it would end.
Brayden signaled Aaron, seated nearby, to fetch Jared. Aaron rose and calmly left the room.
By this time, Mamie was already making her way towards Agnes.
