Yolanda found the whole thing ridiculous and looked up at Linda.

Linda was still fuming, nudging Yolanda. “Just get upstairs, don’t actually let Joelle that man–stealer win. That woman’s got no shame–Charles is married and she keeps throwing herself at him. She keeps insisting she’s not after him, all the while playing the victim after stirring up trouble.”

The more Linda mulled over it, the angrier she got. With Yolanda’s ‘I–don’t–care‘ attitude, there’s no way she could stand up to Joelle.

“Yolanda, you really need to look out for yourself. If you’re really out of options, just get pregnant. Even Charles would have to treat you better if there’s a child in the mix. The Grant business and the Sinclair family are totally tied together now, so don’t make any waves for me.”

Linda gave Yolanda a firm push back into the elevator, and the doors closed just in time.

Finally breathing easy, Linda turned on her heel and left the hospital without looking back.

Yolanda stood inside the elevator, catching the red mark on her cheek reflected in the mirrored wall. She raised her hand and gingerly touched it.

When the doors slid open, she realized she was still on the first floor. Someone outside was about to enter, but paused when he saw her, sounding a bit unsure. “Yolanda?”

Yolanda glanced up. It was Quinn Cooper.

Quinn’s gaze paused on her cheek. He’d heard from Charles that May was hospitalized, and considering May never liked Yolanda, he guessed she might have gotten physical with her again.

Yolanda’s eyes were red–rimmed, her lips flushed, and a clear handprint marked her cheek–she looked obviously bullied.

Quinn clicked his tongue. “You really ought to tell Charles. Aunt May was way out of line this time.”

Yolanda’s eyes flickered twice, thinking to herself, ‘I can’t just let myself get slapped for nothing. She said quietly, “I’m fine, I’m used to it. Charles is busy working, and I don’t want to bother him.”

‘Busy working?‘ Yolanda thought to herself, feeling a little bitter. ‘Yeah right, he’s been glued to Joelle Monroe. these days!‘

‘All he does lately is hang out with her.’

Quinn leaned casually in the elevator, clicking his tongue again. He was so tall, and those flirty eyes of his could probably make even a dog feel loved. Quinn said, “You really are too sweet, Yolanda–you just swallow all your grievances by yourself. I need to head upstairs, catch you later.”

“Bye, Quinn,” Yolanda said softly.
