Yolanda still couldn’t be bothered to argue. She pulled out her phone and started replying to lan’s WhatsApp

messages

Jan was out filming today.

lan texted: “Ms. Grant, I have two hours free at 7 PM tonight”

By that time, everything at Starlight should be over, Yolanda thought. She replied: “Send me the address then. I’ll come find you.”

Ian sent a few heart emojis back.

Yolanda didn’t bother replying. She could feel a piercing gaze fixed on her–the unsettling sensation of being watched was impossible to ignore.

She glanced up to find Stella standing over her, a look of pure disdain in her eyes. “Weren’t you supposed to be working? Now Jason’s stuck doing everything alone while you’re busy texting someone. Isn’t that kind of out of line?”

Before Yolanda could say anything, Jason stepped in. “Me and Ms. Grant have a work arrangement–she pays, I handle the job. That’s just how it goes.”

Stella saw him sticking up for Yolanda and clenched her jaw, clearly frustrated. “That’s just taking advantage of you! Jason, I know you’re not the type to complain, but have you ever thought she might be messing with your on purpose?”

Yolanda couldn’t help but laugh at that.

Stella’s face turned bright red with rage. “What’s so funny? Am I right? Jason’s too good–natured to say anything, so you’re taking advantage of him! But now that I’m around, I won’t let you push him around!”

“Ms. Cole, even with you at his side, Jason’s managed to get this far. That really shows how capable he is,” Yolanda said coolly.

Stella stared at Yolanda in disbelief for a few seconds before fury took over and she raised her hand to slap her. “Are you saying I’m the one dragging him down?!”

Yolanda grabbed her wrist, her gaze turning cold. “Do you really think I couldn’t get Jason kicked out of Sinclair Group with just one word? What’s in it for you to piss me off? Ms. Cole, you watch over him like a hawk, acting like anyone who chats with him is out to seduce him. If you’re that worried, why not just ask Mr. Maine to quit for you? Then you can keep him chained to your side for good.”

“You-!” Stella choked, her face flushing as tears welled up.
