soft,

But what really made lan feel content was the way Yolanda gazed at him when she was happy–her eyes trusting, and gentle, just like a cute little animal you can’t help but want to spoil. It was enough to melt his heart.

lan gently stroked Yolanda’s hair and gave her nose a soft kiss. “Pretty sure your husband’s MIA tonight–just get some sleep.”

“Yes,” Yolanda whispered.

Stuff like this really drains your energy; it didn’t take long before she drifted off.

Ian stayed awake, his fingers gently tracing along her face. Then, his phone buzzed on the pillow.

[Paradise may be a hero’s grave. Don’t forget, there’s someone still waiting for you.]

Ian’s lashes drooped as he pulled Ms. Grant closer, lightly tapped her nose with his finger, and whispered, “Ms. Grant, you really are a little seductress.”

In her sleep, Yolanda shifted, burying her head against his chest.

Ian stiffened for a moment, then rested his chin on her hair, closed his eyes, and let himself drift off to sleep.

The next morning, Yolanda got up, washed up, and headed straight back to Moonbay Estate.

Sure enough, Charles hadn’t come back last night–Yolanda let out a sigh of relief, got changed, and made her way over to Starlight.

Jason was already waiting for her, handing over the newly drafted talent contract for Yolanda to check out.

For now, the contract was pretty fair. It used a tiered profit–sharing system: the bigger the talent’s reputation, the higher the cut they’d get from the profits. It was designed to motivate them to climb higher.

Yolanda and Jason carefully went through a few key terms together, making sure everything checked out before moving forward with the new contract.

But introducing this new contract was clearly going to ruffle some feathers. Take the profit–sharing part: before, talents barely got one percent from endorsements, but now it was bumped up to a fifty–fifty split. The higher–ups would be taking a big hit to their bottom line.

So when the contract hit the meeting room, the Ford brothers–Ken and Wayne–basically exploded.

“Yolanda, are you nuts? Even the newbies get a fifty–fifty cut? You’re seriously going to tank Starlight! I have no idea who’s pulling strings behind you, but there’s no way we’re signing off on this. Forget about it!” Ken yelled, face flushed with anger.
