Yolanda was about to head inside when lan dropped his little shovel and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. “I’ve got to head back to the set soon,” he said.

lan pressed a trail of soft kisses on her neck. “When do you have time? Ms. Sinclair’s giving me some days off -she’s planning to go hiking and wants me to join. She says she’ll call a few others, too.”

Anyone Ms. Sinclair invited was either from Beloris‘ most powerful circles or one of the top directors from the entertainment world. The fact that she wanted Ian to come along–it was obvious she was planning to take him under her wing.

Yolanda wasn’t sure how long she’d be caught up in everything with Starlight. She had a busy few days ahead.

“Let’s see,” she said.

Ian rested his chin on her shoulder, his voice tinged with disappointment. “Just… call me when you’re free, okay?”

Yolanda nodded, about to step away when Ian turned her around.

He pressed her back against the glass door of the floor–to–ceiling window. His hands were restless, but he held back, worried she might still be feeling the afterglow from earlier.

Yolanda was lost in Ian’s kiss for what felt like ten minutes, completely swept up in the moment–until her phone went off and snapped her out of it.

She checked her screen. It was a call from the police department.

‘That’s why I told Ian not to mess with Eric,‘ Yolanda thought to herself. ‘Frank feels guilty about his nephew, and if Eric gets into trouble, Frank will rush over no matter what.‘

Now she owned thirty percent of the shares, with Frank holding eight. If she played this right, maybe she could kill two birds with one stone.

The second work matters popped into her head, Yolanda came back to herself and pushed Ian away.

“Ian, I have to run to the police station right now. Stay focused on your scenes,” Yolanda said, giving him a quick reassuring look before heading off.
