Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 813

After Yolanda clacked out of the office in her high heels, the head of station heaved a deep sigh.

Turning to Agnes, he said, "Well, Agnes, are you happy with how things turned out? From now on,

you'll be in charge of the News Department, and you'll still be the sole anchor for 'The Primary

Perspective'."

Agnes replied, "I don't want to be the head of the News Department. I just want to focus on delivering

great content for 'The Primary Perspective.' However, I would like the segment to operate

independently from the News Department. I want to build my own team and not be under their control."

After a moment of thought, the head of station agreed.

In the following days, the furor over Sharon's scandal finally settled down.

But then Sharon dropped a bombshell that morning, announcing her permanent retirement from

showbiz, causing quite a stir.

Despite Yolanda made up Sharon’s scandal, as the victim, she garnered a wave of sympathy,

especially hot on the heels of her Best Actress win.

However, Sharon chose this moment to bow out of the limelight.

Agnes knew that Sharon was planning to study in the States.

Sharon left swiftly, much like a whirlwind, and while her retirement from entertainment was hot news,

she soon became untraceable to the media.

Jared gave Leo an extended break to help Sharon settle in America before returning.

Meanwhile, Agnes was busy assembling her own crew, she managed to poach Ben from CHERRY.

In the end, Agnes chose Ramona, Hans, and Ben to form the core team for 'The Primary Perspective.'

This unit didn't belong to any particular department, but Judson remained the ultimate head, with the

final say over decisions and interviews.

Yolanda didn't leave the station but was transferred to another department, out of Agnes' sight.

The new head of the News Department was a popular protégé of Judson's, and Agnes' name became

synonymous with the department's success.

Just back from the field, Agnes was approached by Hans, "Boss, Ms. Judson wants a word with you." Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Except for Ben, everyone in the News Department had started calling her 'boss.' Agnes was initially

uncomfortable with it, but when it didn't stop, she let it be.

Agnes headed straight for Judson's office.

Judson was peering over some documents through his reading glasses when Agnes knocked.

"Come in," Judson beckoned.

"Sir, did you need to see me for something?"

Judson handed her a file, "This afternoon, you've got a profile interview."

'The Primary Perspective' had aired two episodes to great acclaim, but Agnes was still dispatched for

certain assignments.

Agnes took the file and opened it, pausing as she saw the photo inside. Why him?

Judson explained, "You covered the Harmony Hollow stray animal story before, right? Well, Harmony

Hollow is set to become a pharma hub, and the city's really backing this project. Our station will be

following it closely. Mr. Whitfield here is the lead on the project and its biggest investor. You'll

coordinate with him on progress reports, and before that, you need to do a profile piece on him. I've

prepared everything; you'll do the interview this afternoon."
