Chapter 89

Yolanda made such a commotion that Charles glanced over and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Her mouth was parched and her heart was pounding so fast that she ducked her head and drank some water.

“It’s nothing,” she said with a forced smile. “Just got a peppercorn stuck in my throat.”

“Be careful,” Charles replied.

He grabbed a napkin and gently dabbed at the corner of her mouth.

Charles always wore his best mask in front of others.

Yolanda smiled at him, her cheeks turning pink.

Charles’s eyes darkened with emotion. She’s still just like she always was. Had he really questioned her feelings for him this morning?

There’s no way Yolanda doesn’t love him.

He tossed the napkin aside and gave her cheek a gentle squeeze. “Eat slowly.”

“Mm–hmm,” Yolanda murmured, her cheeks still flushed as she nodded.

Her face still burning, she quietly took another sip of water.

Just thinking about that photo, about Ian Foster sneaking off to the bathroom just to take it, made her feel all hot and restless inside.

She’d never thought of herself as someone with much of a drive in that department, but ever since he introduced her to a whole new world, she couldn’t help but imagine going even further with him.

She looked up and caught Leo giving her a mocking look.

Yolanda frowned, thinking, ‘This guy is seriously messed up.‘

Leo let out a quiet scoff, thinking, “That shameless bitch is definitely flirting with her lover again.

Yolanda subtly drew her legs together, listening as the others kept chatting about the land and business deals. She got up and quietly told Charles, “I need to use the restroom.”

Charles nodded.
