After She She Stopped Loving Him

Chapter 150

After the others left. Yolanda stayed behind the screen.

Ian came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder. “Did you really give him that bottle?”

“Yeah, but Charles said it on purpose,” she replied.

“Not sure your husband’s playing this right. Sure, he’s trying to push Edward into a move, but he basically just made you the biggest target in the room,” tan commented.

Yolanda raised an eyebrow and playfully patted his check. “Not bad, you’re pretty sharp.”

“Ms. Grant, you know you wouldn’t keep a clueless fool at your side–you’d be bored to death in no time,” lan teased.

Honestly, she felt the same way about some of the talent at Starlight; a handful of them she just couldn’t stand.

She’d realized long ago that Charles never really factored her into his plans. All he cared about was getting rid of those two uncles, not sparing a single thought for his own wife.

Good thing she’d figured it out early–her heart was steady and unmoved.

She slipped out of Ian’s arms, stepped from behind the screen, and headed toward the car waiting outside.

When they reached Ian’s villa, she pulled out her tablet and continued negotiating the contract revisions with Jason.

Ian had things to take care of, too–between reshooting scenes and memorizing lines for the days ahead.

Worried he might disturb Yolanda by staying downstairs, he quickly pressed a kiss to her cheek.

“I’m going upstairs to run through my lines,” Ian said.

Yolanda stayed glued to her tablet–work was all that mattered to her right now.

“Mm,” she murmured, not even glancing up.

Ian didn’t dare interrupt her. He quietly made his way upstairs to start rehearsing his lines.

Yolanda added a few more clauses to the new contract draft, then turned to Jason.

[Are these clauses legally valid?] she asked.

[Yeah,] he responded.
