After She She Stopped Loving Him

Yolanda stepped into the room, holding onto the key card Jack had given her.

As she entered, she was greeted by a spacious living room. Her luggage had already been taken to the bedroom.

She pulled out her phone and messaged Blake for an update.

Blake replied with a single message: [Just met. Ten days should be enough. Just keep your husband out of the way.]

Yolanda quickly deleted the message–no trace left behind. She never bothered saving Blake’s number on her phone; she just kept it in her head.

There were only four presidential suites on this floor–one for Charles, one for Vivian, one for Simone, and one for Raelyn, the female lead.

Yolanda wasn’t really here for the so–called temple fair; her real goal was to get Charles out of her hair.

She sent Charles a message, telling him she’d be wandering around nearby.

Charles didn’t respond–he was tied up in a meeting.

It was already evening, and the last rays of sunlight spilled gold and red across the revolving glass doors.

Just as Yolanda turned the corner, Ian’s arms slid around her waist. “Let me go with you,” he said.

Yolanda sent a guilty glance at the security cameras and patted his hand. “Let go.”

Ian let go and stood quietly by her side.

Yolanda rubbed her temples, thinking, ‘Wasn’t he supposed to be busy with filming?‘

Ian shrugged and said, “Filming doesn’t start till tomorrow. It’s not like Ms. Sinclair’s some kind of slave driver.”

Everyone had spent over four hours in the car today; nobody had the energy to do anything else.

Ian had a hat and a mask on, and Yolanda had switched into something more low–key. Figuring Charles was still stuck in a meeting, and with the temple fair kicking off tonight for a whole week, she saw no reason to wait around–so she stepped right out.

Ian fell in step behind her in silence as they headed out along the hotel drive.

The hotel had a prime location, barely a ten–minute walk from the biggest festival in town.
