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
