Yolanda nudged lan’s head–which was resting on her shoulder–and said, “Hey, quit fooling around,”

Ian just grinned and held her tighter. “You brought me along to meet him. Clearly, you trust the guy.”

Jason honestly couldn’t care less about this kind of romantic drama; the back–and–forth between couples bored him stiff compared to those colorful stats flashing across his monitor.

He barely glanced at them before turning right back to his screen.

Yolanda thought for a moment and realized this trick could really work. Rumors fly around the stock market every single day, and only the truly savvy know how to tell what’s real from what’s just noise. It’s usually the speculators who end up paying the price.

She instantly whipped out her phone and fired off messages to a few reporters she was familiar with.

Before long, headlines about Starlight pulling out of investments hit the top of the trending list.

As for who was backing out and what exactly they were ditching–nobody bothered digging any deeper.

Right now, any negative buzz about Starlight was pure feeding frenzy.

The stock price just kept crashing—it was nosediving like a rock.

Ian, who’d been filming all day, was exhausted. He turned to Yolanda and muttered, “Yolanda, I’m really tired.”

Yolanda was focused on the screen in front of her, seriously asking Jason about the rows of data. When Ian interrupted, she sat up and pointed to the couch behind them. “Go lie down for a bit. I’ll let you know when it’s time to leave.”

Ian really was that tired–his eyes were red and bloodshot. “Okay,” he replied softly.

He walked over to the sofa, leaned back, and fell asleep almost immediately.

As the night wore on and the temperature dropped, Yolanda asked a few more questions. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Ian wasn’t covered with a blanket. She turned to Jason and asked, “Do you have a light blanket around here?”

Jason got up and went upstairs to grab one.

Yolanda took it from him and walked over to Ian, who was still asleep with his eyes closed. She gently draped the blanket over him.

She’d already checked with Simone–Ian’s schedule was packed, and she’d even taken him to meet a few directors to discuss his upcoming projects.

Yolanda felt guilty about it. She’d promised to be his manager and assistant, but ever since taking over Starlight, she’d been swamped with work.
