Rumors started flying around the company like wildfire.

“I heard she’s just here to cash in, and her connections are even scarier than Leon Cole’s. Now she’s talking about changing all our contracts from ten or twenty years to freaking thirty. She’s basically Leon 2.0.”

“Why can’t these people just go jump off a cliff or something? Why are we always the ones getting screwed? I was this close to only five years left on my deal, now it’s gonna be fifteen! Am I ever gonna see the light at the end of the tunnel?”

“I heard at her old company, she’d force the female talent to sleep with clients. If you didn’t do it, you’d get shipped off to Raventon.”

“Seriously? If that’s true, isn’t she even more ruthless than Leon Cole?”

“Guess I really did get my hopes up for her for nothing.”

As Yolanda walked past the top floor, she couldn’t help but feel all those resentful stares directed at her.

She assumed it was because she wasn’t moving fast enough. There was still plenty that needed reforming in Starlight, and she had to get a handle on all the rules before she could tackle anything real.

Yolanda had been working in the office until the evening, when she finally handed a folder to Walter, who was hovering behind her like her shadow.

“Print this out, and once you’re done, give it to Ms. Hall,” she instructed.

“Understood, Ms. Grant,” Walter said eagerly.

Walter Hudson was tall, standing nearly six–foot–three, but his fashion sense was… let’s just say it desperately needed help. He always rocked suit pants paired with a plaid shirt that looked straight out of a programmer

meme.

Yolanda’s gaze lingered over him before she let out a sigh. “Honestly, you should pick up some tips from online style bloggers. You’ve got a solid build–dress right and you’d be a total male model. Also, you really need to do something about your hair. And these glasses–are they prescription or what? The lenses look thick enough to stop a bullet.”

Yolanda leaned in and reached out, about to take his glasses off for a closer look, but Walter instantly backed

away.

‘He must be shy about his looks,’ Yolanda thought, deciding not to press it. “Just go print it,” she told him.

With that, she slung her bag over her shoulder and got ready to clock out for the day.

But the moment she stepped out of the elevator, some lunatic came barreling straight at her.

“Yolanda! Go to hell!” the person shrieked, their voice echoing with hatred.
