After She She Stopped Loving Him

Yolanda looked at Daisy, who was standing there, and took a deep breath. “What brings you to the hospital?”

Daisy shook the medication in her hand. “I'm here to pick up sprescriptions. Remember | had smental

health issues before? I'm doing much better now.”

Yolanda reached out and ruffled Daisy’s hair, treating her like a little sister. “Daisy, do you have any drugs that

can amplify emotions? Like something that could make an angry person lose control?”

Daisy narrowed her eyes, recalling that Yolanda had asked her for medication once before.

Noticing her hesitation, Yolanda shrugged. “I'm not a good person, and I've told you that before. If someone hits

me, I'm going to hit back.”

Daisy glanced around and whispered, “Yeah, | have a close senior who works here at the hospital-she studied

pharmacology. I'll go find her and get it for you, but keep this between us. If anyone finds out, she could lose her

job.”

Stuff like that isn’t supposed to be out on the market. Every gram is carefully tracked, and sneaking them out

isn’t easy.

Yolanda hugged her, her tone calm. “Don’t worry. Even if my life depended on it, | wouldn't tell.”

Daisy trusted her. She wasn’t sure why-maybe it was the way Yolanda looked at her, so honest and stubborn.

It felt like if Yolanda wanted something done, she’d make it happen no matter what. That kind of energy just

rubbed off on people.

Once Yolanda got the meds, she jumped in her car. She just had a feeling this stuff would cin handy

someday.

She headed straight for lan’s set. He'd been trending non-stop lately, and as her only talent, she couldn't afford

to take her eyes off him.

Even now, she still couldn't figure lan out. He acted all cold in public, but when it was just the two of them, he

burned hot as magma. She just couldn't read him at all.

When she got to the set, Simone was busy coaching two actors through their scene, while lan sat off to the side,

quietly resting.

Most of the other talents had assistants buzzing around them, but as lan’s assistant, Yolanda was rarely glued

to his side.

So, on set, lan usually ended up flying solo.

Whenever Yolanda cto the set, she’d throw on a mask and a hat-no way was she letting anyone recognize

her.

She walked up behind lan and tapped him gently on the shoulder.

lan was tall, with striking features and a strong presence. He turned around with his usual cool expression, but

the moment he saw her, his eyes lit up and he looked like a puppy wagging its tail.

“Ms. Grant,” he called out softly.

She pressed a finger to her lips. “On set, callTessa. Now that you're getting more famous, people are

watching you. In public, you need to keep your distance from your assistant-slash-manager.”

His Adam's apple visibly bobbed as he swallowed, his voice husky. “What about when it’s not in public?”

Yolanda was at a loss for words for a moment, her cheeks growing warm.

She quickly grabbed a bottle of ice water and set it in front of him. “Here, drink this." | feel like I've been

neglecting you. Look at everyone else—they’ve got assistants all over them. You're out here on your own, no one

to cool you off when it’s hot or toss you a blanket when it’s chilly. | guess | should think about bringing in more

help. Plus, Megan's pregnant, so she probably won't be coming to the stufor a while.”

“Megan’s pregnant?”

His eyes widened in surprise, but he just quietly twisted open the water bottle. “I can handle it. I'm tougher

than that.”

Yolanda watched him tilt his head back to drink, his Adam’s apple moving up and down. She quickly looked away.

“Ill try to be around more until we get someone else on board. Before | came, | had a van ordered for you. That

way, when you get tired between scenes, you can rest in the car.”

Anyway, Charles had just handed her ten million dollars, which was more than enough to keep lan well taken

care of.

lan’s lips curled into a faint smile as he nodded. “Mm-hmm.”

It was lan’s turn for the next scene. He set his water bottle aside, touched up his makeup, and got ready to go

on.

He was playing a street thug, and when he gripped the steel pipe, his face was all menace. The vivid red scar

slashed across his cheek, and there was a savage beauty in his brutality.

Yolanda stood there with her arms crossed, watching, when she heard the leading lady talking nearby.

“He’s got sserious acting chops. Hand him my hotel card later,” she said, twirling her hair.

Her nwas Raelyn Cullen, a rare combination of talent and beauty. No wonder Simone had picked her.

Simone had always had high standards, especially when it cto the leads.

Raelyn had just snagged an award recently, and if stabloid rumors linked her with lan, it would only boost

his career.

Yolanda sat quietly to the side, saying nothing.

By the tlan finished his scene and cback, Yolanda was already holding the hotel key card Raelyn’s

agent had handed her.

0:

The agent’s tone was cool and all business. “As a fellow manager, you know what this is about.”

Yolanda nodded. She knew.

Raelyn was clearly trying to get lan into her bed-and maybe get sheadlines out of it too.

Hookups like this were just another day in showbiz-totally normal in the industry.

Raelyn adjusted her sunglasses, a sly smile on her lips. “I'll be waiting for him tonight.”

With that, she left with her agent, even her back giving off major boss vibes.

lan cover to Yolanda, noticing the card in her hand but having no idea what it was.

Yolanda tucked the card away, a faint smile on her lips. “Con, I'll give you a ride home.”

When they stepped outside the set, the six-hundred-thousand-dollar van she'd ordered was already waiting.

She opened the door and peeked inside. She'd picked out every detail herself, and everything was made from

the best materials. There was no strong leather smell-just a light touch of perflingering in the air.

She glanced at lan. “So, what do you think? You like it?”
