It wasn't that Mrs. Sterling was stingy; she simply thought Yolanda unworthy. For Mrs. Sterling to take the tto dismiss her in person was, in her view, the highest form of respect. In that moment, Yolanda saw Cassius's face merge with Mrs. Sterling's in her mind's eye.
She blinked, offering Cassius a mocking smile.
"Don't forget, Mr. Sterling, I traded my first tfor this leading role audition. My worth is genuine. If you can't handle that, were you hoping to back out?" Cassius's handsface darkened instantly, his grip on Yolanda's chin tight enough to crush.

"This body of yours, I'm sick of it. Here's the money for your surgery. Find a decent clinic. Maybe next time, you'll fool someone else into giving you a leading role." The money hit Yolanda's face, scattering at her feet, with a couple of bills sticking to her chest. Yolanda looked down, picked up the money, and flashed a bright smile, "Thanks, Movie Star Cassius." The response was the sound of a slamming door and the silence that followed.
Cassius stormed into the elevator, his phone ringing suddenly.
Was that foolish woman regretting her words now? He quickly grabbed his phone, but his frown deepened when he saw "Remi" flashing on the screen.
He had forgotten, Remington was waiting for his update.
Now that things had soured with Yolanda, who knew if that foolish woman would still pass on messages for him.
As the ringtone was about to end, Cassius answered the call with a scowl.
"Did you send her the photo? What did she say?" Remington's deep voice cthrough.
"I did, but Yolanda, being the clever fool she is, suspected the photo was Photoshopped by you, Remi. She's beyond help!" On the other end, Remington's handsface also darkened.
Cassius, that fool, hadn't realized they were talking about two different "hers".

"You're useless!" Such a simple task, sending a photo to his woman, and he even manage that. Remingtouldn hadn't expected such incompetence.
Cassius, "..." Feeling both aggrieved and frustrated, he thought about how he had lost his golden opportunity for this mess.
Not only did Remington not offer him any consolation, but he also had the nerve to criticize him? In a fit of irritated sarcasm, Cassius
shot back, "We're both jilted lovers here. Why the urgency to turn on each other, Remi? you're so om capable, why don't you talk to Lizetta yourself? If anyone's useless right now, it's you!"
After venting, Cassius suddenly, gm realized he might have gone too far. Why was Remington silent? Could it be he was already on his way with a gun? Cassius, panic-stricken, leaned on the velelevator railing, almost ready to beg for mercy.
He was about to plead when he noticed that the phone screen m displayed the hscreen wallpaper. Clearly, Remington had hung up long ago.
