Chapter 189

Both of them had a huge meal.

When it came time to pay, Ivan reached for his wallet.

Agnes quickly cut him off, “I told you I’m treating you, a beef burger isn’t going to break my bank.”

With a smile, Ivan put his wallet away and didn’t argue with Agnes.

After eating, Ivan took Agnes to the prop room at Century Entertainment.

It was a massive storage room, pretty much like a prop supermarket.

Rows upon rows of shelves were filled with all kinds of props, from ancient to modern, they had

everything.

Ivan helped Agnes pick out props, and they quickly found all the ones they needed.

Ivan called over Faye and instructed him, “Help Ms. Pritchard take these props to her school.”

“Sure thing”

As he finished speaking, Faye suddenly pulled out a small box and handed it to Ivan, “Oh, by the way,

Mamie just had her assistant drop this off.”

Agnes was right there at the time.

It was a sleek little black box. Inside was a men’s diamond-encrusted watch. There was also a note in

the box. It read, “To my dearest Ivan, Happy Birthday.”

Ivan smiled as he put the watch away.

Agnes was surprised, “Is it your birthday today?”

“Yes.”

Agnes seemed a bit upset, “If I’d known, I wouldn’t have treated you to a burger. I should have gotten

you something nicer.”

“Having someone to eat with is more than enough for me. Is there a law against having a burger on

your birthday? Agnes, I’ve had a great day. Thanks for eating with me.”

Hearing this, Agnes felt a pang in her heart.

This high and mighty Ivan didn’t have anyone to eat with him.

Perhaps on his birthday, he felt even lonelier, which is why he asked her to join him.

Agnes didn’t know what to say, she just said, “Well, if you ever can’t find anyone to eat with, you can

call me. I may not have enough money to treat you to fancy meals, but I know all the best eats around

here.”

İvan gently replied, “Sounds good.”

Agnes said her goodbyes and left with Faye.

As Faye was driving, he looked at Agnes in the rear-view mirror, a smile on his face.

Agnes asked, “What’s so funny, Faye?”

“You’re the first person, besides Mamie, who’s managed to get a genuine smile out of Mr. Bartley.”

Agnes found this odd. In her mind, Ivan was always a gentle person.

“Why doesn’t Mr. Bartley have anyone to eat with on his birthday? Isn’t it a bit too lonely?”

Faye barely held back a laugh, “Mr. Bartley got hundreds of birthday telegrams today, not to mention

phone calls and texts. There are definitely plenty of people who’d love to have dinner with him, but Mr.

Bartley is too busy to deal with all the invites.”

“If he’s so busy, why did he have dinner with me?”

“Ms. Pritchard, you must mean a lot to Mr. Bartley for him to take time out of his schedule to have

dinner with you and help you find props.”

Mr. Bartley is a man who values his time greatly, yet he took out two hours today to help Ms. Pritchard

get props.

Agnes was a bit confused.

She was the one who had dinner with him, how did it turn into him having dinner with her?

But even if Ivan treated her differently, it was probably because of Jared.

They arrived at the school soon after,

Faye helped move all the props into the auditorium.

Kerri and the others were all amazed when they saw it, “Agnes, where on earth did you get such

beautiful props and costumes?
