The shock of being caught by Samuel hit her like a tidal wave–she nearly forgot she was even here to find someone tonight.

She drifted toward the elevator in a daze, and by the time she reached Quentin’s floor, she was standing in the restroom, overhearing two girls chatting, their faces full of obvious frustration.

“Quentin’s been into her for ages. He’s so damn loyal. Doesn’t he get that she’s only back because of Charles?” one girl sneered.

“Oh, it’s not just Quentin. There were a couple other guys in that private room drooling over her too. Leo was just sitting there, staring at her like a lost puppy,” the other girl snarked.

“That bitch has some killer charm. Charles splurged ten million on her in jewelry! With all these big shots swarming tonight, she must be loving it. Now that she’s back in the entertainment scene, nobody dares challenge her. Directors won’t even try to give her grief. Just watch–things are only gonna get tougher for us,” the first girl grumbled.

Yolanda kept her head low, scrubbing her hands, while the two women kept gossiping nearby. They were probably someone’s arm candy from the private room.

‘So Quentin’s into Joelle? Well, working together is definitely off the table, Yolanda thought, a pang of regret going through her.

Joelle always came across as that fragile yet resilient type that guys just couldn’t resist. She never cared about their money, but somehow she had every single one of them wrapped around her finger.

Quentin was one of those people–once he fell for someone, he’d give it everything, even if all he could ever do was watch her be happy from afar.

He really was the most qualified backup–the perfect fallback guy.
