Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption ( Lizetta ) novel Chapter 270

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 scaredycat face, she couldn’t help but chuckle. She ran her thumb across her lips, then quickly dabbed it onto the corner of Cassiusmouth

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, strawberryflavored

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

Are you in heat or did you get mauled?” 

Remington stepped out for a smoke and caught sight of Cassius standing against the wall, clothes disheveled and with a lipstick mark on his face, looking all sorts of weird

Cassius looked up, awkwardly straightening his clothes

Like I’d ever get hot for a chick like Yolanda. Don’t talk nonsense, Remi!” 

Guilty as charged without even being accused

Remington, twirling a cigarette between his elegant fingers, seemed surprised and asked

What’s Yolanda doing here?” 

With Yolanda being tight with Lizetta, she didn’t go to see her off at the airport

That chick? She’s here boozing it up with Jenny! She thinks she can just waltz into showbiz, what a silly girl! Remi, I gotta go.” 

Cassius was in a rush to check if that silly Yolanda had already gotten sloshed and taken advantage of, but he stopped midsentence as he noticed Remington’s sudden change of demeanor, an icy, stifling aura enveloping him

Who did you just mention?” 

Remington stepped closer, pressing Cassius with a grave tone

Chapter 270 

Cassius was a bit spooked

Remington looked serious as hell, the cigarette in his fingers crushed into bits and falling

Did that dumb Yolanda cross you?” 

Not her, the other one you mentioned.Remington’s voice was heavy

Jenny? She’s just a minor celeb, you probably don’t know her.” 

Lead the way!” 

Before Cassius could finish, Remington cut him off with a commanding tone

When Yolanda arrived at the private room, Jenny was already drinking with Director Harriet, Jenny signaled to Yolanda with her eyes

Yoli, you’re just in time for a treat. Director Harriet brought some of his private stash. You’re late, so down three as a penalty!” 

Yolanda approached with a smile, taking the glass

Looks like I’m in luck then. Here’s to you, Director Harriet.” 

She tipped back three drinks in quick succession

Director Harriet was pleased, for the supporting actress role.” 

th and sweet, what a drink!” 

at Jenny, That’s the spirit! Jenny, you did good recommending her 

Jenny quickly added, Let’s both have another toast to Director Harriet, come on.”
