As the director, Simone couldn’t hand over her spot to Ian, and he wouldn’t have taken it anyway.

lan sat down between Simone and Yolanda, watching both of their tiles.

He sat up straight, keeping his distance from Yolanda as much as possible, but with a mahjong table this small. he couldn’t avoid getting close anyway.

Charles glanced up, his eyes landing on lan for just a moment before looking away.

Just some rookie in showbiz he’d never heard of.

The game started in earnest.

Yolanda wasn’t very good at mahjong. Just as she was about to toss out a tile, a hand suddenly slid onto her thigh, the fingertips slowly and deliberately tracing over her skin.

She’d just taken a shower before coming over, wearing a dress with a tightly cinched waist. But once she sat down, the hem crept up, leaving her knees and a sliver of thigh exposed.

Now, that hand was brushing lightly against that bare skin. moving upward under the silk of her dress, inching higher with a mischievous insistence.

She didn’t glance at lan, pretending to focus intently on her tiles.

Ian didn’t look at her either, even reaching down to pick up a tile that had fallen to the floor.

Vivian, clearly trying to get under Yolanda’s skin, kept chatting with Charles about the project, monopolizing the conversation and making the atmosphere feel tense.

Simone tried to steer the conversation elsewhere. “Yolanda, you were talking about kids earlier. Have you thought about when you might want one?”

Yolanda’s lashes fluttered as she discarded a tile, and she slowly shifted her hand to snatch the unruly one on her thigh.

“Charles isn’t ready for that yet,” she said.

Charles picked up the tile Yolanda discarded, the corners of his mouth curving into a warm, gentle smile. “I just can’t bear to let you go through all that trouble.”

Yolanda won the round, scoring nearly ten grand. She stood up. “I’m gonna hit the restroom.”

That hand next to her had seriously crossed the line.

As soon as she left, Ian didn’t move to take her seat until Simone nudged him. “Ian, why don’t you take over for her?”

lan nodded and slid into the chair, his movements perfectly proper, no hint of anything out of line.
