Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 270

Yolanda was about to make a dash for it when Cassius reached out again to grab her shoulder.

She had finally snagged a chance that Jenny was also counting on, and she was worried about making a bad impression on Director Harriet if she was late.

Totally losing her cool, Yolanda spun around, grabbed Cassius by the collar, tiptoed, and threatened him

with a smile.

“Cassius, if you keep yapping, I’m gonna plant one on you!”

To a drama queen like Cassius, Yolanda figured this kind of threat would do the trick.

Sure enough, Cassius tensed up in an instant and clammed up.

“Scared ya, huh? There, there, I won’t touch you.”

Yolanda thought this guy must either swing the other way or have a mild case of gynophobia.

Seeing his scaredy–cat face, she couldn’t help but chuckle. She ran her thumb across her lips, then quickly dabbed it onto the corner of Cassius‘ mouth.

Cassius froze. Seizing the moment before he could react, Yolanda bolted.

When Cassius finally snapped out of it, he touched his mouth, his thumb picking up a smear of bright lipstick.

Sickly sweet and, damn it, strawberry–flavored.

Hot Chili didn’t have a clue – totally wrong lipstick choice.
