Sophia had been hanging out with Lizetta quite a bit lately, and they hit it off pretty well. Lizetta even invited Sophia to her wedding.

Feeling a bit worried, Sophia decided to check in with Cassius to see if he knew what was up.

Cassius was lounging in an SUV, getting a touch-up from his makeup artist, when he casually said, "The Starlight Group isn't some backyard operation; they're not about to make a big mistake. Isn't Remi getting hitched soon? Whatever you've heard must be some baseless rumor."

"I wish it were just a rumor, but I literally just overheard Mr. Dashiell calling Lizetta. Brides tend to get super jittery right before the wedding, all scared of tying the knot and whatnot. This is when they really need their other half to step up, provide that sense of security, and patiently be there for them. It'll make the girls fearless, and start the marital life at ease."

"I'm all for staying single, and the thought of marriage freaks me out, so you're barking up the wrong tree here."

"I just think Lizetta's not in a great place emotionally. Aren't you and Mr. Dashiell friends? Maybe give him a nudge, remind him that his wife should come before business, no?"

After Sophia hung up, Yolanda's frustrated voice filled the SUV, "I knew that badass Remington wouldn't just behave! Call him up, ask what the hell he's planning to do?!"

Cassius was getting his makeup done, and just now it was Yolanda who helped to hold the phone near his ear.
