Chapter 52
That Yolanda woke up again was because of a dream, in which she missed her step. She woke up in shock.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the bright sky outside the window, and she didn't know when she fell asleep in Aaron's arms.
The terrifying thing was that her legs were hanging unnaturally around his waist and their pose was even a bit erotic. The scene was too shocking that Yolanda almost cried out.
"It must be because my sleeping position was not good. When I fell asleep, I felt that there was something warm around me and reached for it. Holy Moly! It must be so!"
Fortunately, Aaron didn't wake up. Thank God that he drank so much alcohol last night and slept so deeply that he didn't notice her intrusion.
Yolanda was like a thief who broke into the house. With her heart skipping a beat, she quickly lifted the quilt, got out of bed, didn't even dare to wear her slippers, and left the study with bare feet.
When she got to the door, she was worried and looked back again. Aaron was still in the same posture and didn't wake up.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Before he realized something, she quickly opened the door and left.
When Yolanda returned to the room, she found out that it was 7:50 a.m., and they usually got up at this time to go to work.
It's too dangerous, if she hadn't been woken up by that dream, she would have to face another awkward situation today. Yolanda could even think of Aaron's expression when he saw her sleeping beside him after he woke up.
She covered her face and took a deep breath several times. Thankfully, she could escape before he woke up. But after she calmed down, the intimacy slowly came back to her memory, and Yolanda had to admit that–
The feeling of being held in his arms was very warm and safe. The feeling of wrapping her legs around him was also strangely comfortable.
Perhaps she had been sleeping alone for a long time. After sleeping with a man beside her, she was invisibly attracted to him. After all, Aaron himself also hugged her quite smoothly just now.
This kind of scenario inexplicably made her heart palpitate fiercely in the early morning. It was like having a love secret that only she knew. Yolanda pursed her lips and smiled. Even when she went to the bathroom to clean herself, she was still smiling.
Nonetheless, her feeling of joy was quickly replaced by fright.
While brushing her teeth, Yolanda habitually looked for her mobile phone to read today's news, only to find out that the mobile phone was still on the bed in the study and had not been brought back.
She was in a hurry just now, her mind was all thinking about running away from the scene, and she forgot that she took her mobile phone with her last night.
It seemed that her phone was left beside the pillow right away after she finished scrolling through Twitter last night.
Dang! Yolanda was going crazy. She managed to sneak out of the scene, but if her phone left was discovered, wouldn't it be the evidence that she had stayed last night?!
Yolanda bit her toothbrush, opened the door, and rushed out, praying to herself that Aaron was still sleeping. But as soon as she walked to the door, she saw a man in formal clothes walking out of the study.
Yolanda was speechless. The toothbrush almost fell out of her mouth.
Aaron walked forward calmly and then frowned at her somewhat funny expression, "What are you doing?"
Yolanda mumbled, "Nothing."
"Then why are you standing here?"
"...I want to wake you up."
After looking at each other for a few seconds, Aaron passed by her calmly. "I'll leave a little earlier, go and have the breakfast by yourself."
Before Yolanda could regain her senses, she heard the sound of the door closing.
What? Did nothing happen? Didn't he find out?
Before she could think about it, Yolanda immediately ran to the bedside in the study. After a round of searching, she found her phone under the pillow.
No wonder Aaron didn't see it.
Sitting on the carpet while touching her chest, Yolanda felt that her heart had gone through an emotional rollercoaster this morning.
Fortunately, even God was helping her this time; so Aaron didn't find out that she had visited him in the middle of the night.
Yolanda summed it up. It should be her reward because she was a good person.
On the other side, Aaron got into the car. Even Happer could sense that he was different today than usual. 
Although he could not tell the difference since Aaron did not even smile, he could strongly feel Aaron's relaxation and leisure.
"Boss, it seems that you're in a good mood today!" Happer said.
Remembering how Yolanda was biting her toothbrush and pretending to be calm, Aaron grinned slightly. He pretended to sleep for so long and finally waited for her to wake up, but she couldn't even escape properly. She even left her mobile phone behind and let him cooperate with her by turning a blind eye to it.
"Is it because of the post on Twitter last night?" Happer asked boldly, "Last night, Elsa told me that you were on the trending search. Though I don't use Twitter, after looking at it, I'm sure that you're looking at Yura. Am I right?"
Aaron glanced at him and uttered, "When did you start to be interested in gossiping?"
Happer chuckled, "I'm just interested in the gossip about you two."
After realizing that this word seemed to be inappropriate, Happer thought about it for a long time, and then finally remembered a slang word that his daughter Elsa taught him. He smiled gently at him. "I'm shipping you two."
Aaron was speechless. In fact, regarding the trending post, someone had informed him when there was a sign. 
Since he was a big capital, if he was to be on a trending post, his underlings would definitely infrom him in advance. If he didn't want to appear in the trending topic, nobody would be able to clout-chasing him.
Therefore, that the netizens could see this post becoming the first trending topic was also tacitly agreed by Aaron.
Anyway, sooner or later his relationship with Yolanda would be known to everyone. So the trending topic this time would be part of a 'hint' to the netizens in advance. When they officially disclosed their relationship, this trending post would become more meaningful.
After breakfast, Yolanda also started her everyday work.
Yesterday, after meeting tons of the big shots in Azel's Evening Party, Yolanda knew that she still had a long way to go. And the best move to take now was the development of this popular Intellectual Property in her hand.
It was the final round of the official audition for the selection of actors for 'The Moment' today.
To show the importance of the event, both Dan Cullen and David Perry were there. And of course, Yolanda, the biggest investor, could not be absent.
There were about 20 actors coming to audition, all of whom had gone through times of screening.
Phoebe also participated in this audition. Under Yolanda's recommendation, she participated in the play for the role of the second female lead.
According to Yolanda's concept of loyalty to her friends in the past, if there was such an opportunity, she would definitely spare no effort in supporting Phoebe as the female lead.
However, after she has experienced the selection of actors last time in the Azel Group, she realized that every actor and every role had its characteristics. It was not suitable for everyone.
Therefore, after careful comparison, Yolanda recommended the second female lead's role to Phoebe. Then, the final decision was handed over to the director.
Although it was necessary to help her bestie, it was also necessary to put her in a suitable position.
She was no longer being appointed people by favoritism as she was in the past. This was also what Aaron thought of her during her growth.
When the audition was going on in the afternoon, Fire Beaumont also came. He was one of the male lead candidates recognized by both the director, screenwriter and Yolanda.
Besides him, there were two other male actors on the list. The male protagonist would be chosen among these three.
Therefore, everyone took it seriously to Fire's audition. After fixing his makeup, they had a photo session first, then gave him a few acting clips for him to play with during the audition.
The time given by the director was particularly long. He took several clips to try before the audition was over.
Yolanda could sense that the director was quite satisfied with his performance. Sure enough, after Fire left, Dan turned around and asked Yolanda's opinion, "What do you think?"
Yolanda nodded. "His acting skills are good, but I always feel that his temperament is neutral. Besides, he also lacks toughness in his act. I wondered if it could be modified after the character's look was out."
Dan and David also agreed. "Liam's performance is much better at this point."
David added, "Thomas's overall performance is the best, but his acting skills are slightly worse."
With the discussion among the three male actors, several people discussed in the room for a long time.  The audition ended at 6 p.m..
Phoebe had been waiting for Yolanda outside. After they were dismissed and the two were about to leave together, Fire's car stopped by the side of the road.
He got out of the car and asked sincerely, "Miss Watler, what do you think of my performance just now?"
Yolanda smiled politely. "It's good."
"Thank you." He asked, "How about me treating you for dinner tonight? My friend just opened a restaurant, I'll go over there to support him."
Yolanda was slightly startled, obviously feeling a little surprised. After all, they didn't know each other well enough to eat together.
Seeing her subtle expression, Fire immediately explained, "I don't mean anything else. I'm just stopping by and it just happened to be dinner time."
Shooking her head, Yolanda pointed to Phoebe and refused, "Nope, I have an appointment with my friend."
Fire didn't force her any further. "Okay then, goodbye."
Back in the car, after closing the doors and windows, the manager asked, "How was it?"
"Do you still need to ask such an obvious thing? If I managed to invite her, how will I get in the car alone?" There was a hint of anger in Fire's tone.
The manager hurriedly handed him water. "Don't worry, take your time. I've found out that the selection of role is between you and Liam, Thomas. You can think of a way to coax Miss Walter."
Fire was quiet for a long time before replying impatiently, "Got it."
After Fire left, Phoebe asked Yolanda jokingly, "Is he interested in you?"
Yolanda retorted, "He's two years younger than me, how is that possible?"
"Why is it impossible? Isn't May-June romance common in the entertainment industry? "Phoebe interpreted logically, "If he's not interested in you, he just wants you to be interested in him."
Yolanda understood the behind meaning of her words for a few seconds. "Do you mean that he wants to get involved in the unspoken rule?"
Phoebe nodded. "Isn't it so? It's just a matter of words for the investor to choose somebody."
However, Yolanda just thought Phoebe was joking around. "I'm not interested in that kind of 'younger brother'."
"Don't you like young men?"
Yolanda replied, "I prefer older men."
Good heavens.
Phoebe looked at Yolanda who has immersed in the thoughts of love, and tutted, "Why? Have you got a 'taste' of the older man?"
All of the sudden, Yolanda remembered the way Aaron kissed her calf. Her face was then immediately flustered.
Nonetheless, she replied calmly, "Nope."
Phoebe chuckled, "Nah, I'll see you pretend. Couldn't it be that something's wrong Mr. Jensen? How come you two haven't done the deed when both of you are living together? Impossible."
"It's true." Yolanda looked at her bestie seriously. "I'm serious about it."
Phoebe was speechless. Well, earlier when Yolanda and James were in a relationship for almost a year, there was nothing that happened between them. Now, when it comes to Mr. Jensen, perhaps it would take her half a year to do the deed.
No matter what was it, Mr. Jensen was still her boss. Thus, Phoebe helped him to say words of conscience.
"Sometimes, appropriate immodesty can quickly promote the development of mutual feelings, and maybe there will be unexpected results."
Yolanda was speechless.
After sending Phoebe off, Yolanda went to Glasgow Apartment again.
After moving out, Yolanda never went back. Usually, she only communicated with Marc through WhatsApp. However, he didn't pick up her call nor reply to her WhatsApp messages these days.
The siblings worked on the same floor. After Yolanda found the time going over to take a look, only then did Marc's secretary tells her that he was working on the company's liquidation recently.
Since Yolanda was worried, she came here in person, planning to ask him what was going on.
At 7 p.m., Marc didn't go out and was preparing dinner at home.
"Brother, why are you alone?" As soon as Yolanda entered, she notices that Rose was not around.
Marc put his hand in his trouser pocket, holding a glass of water in his hand, and smiled. "Must there be two people here?"
Yolanda sensed something was wrong. "Where's Sister Rose? Aren't you together?"
After taking a sip of water, Marc sat down as if nothing had happened, and replied after a long pause. "We're done."
Yolanda was stunned, speechless. She stood there for a long time, and asked astounded, "Why? Didn't you guys go well last time, why do you suddenly-"
Suddenly? Marc chuckled at this word in his heart. Actually, it wasn't sudden at all.
Rose has never been a woman who was willing to settle down. What she needs in her life was not to be bound by any relationship. Love would bind her, so she gave up. He should have understood this when they first met. Not everyone is willing to give up on their beliefs. However, Marc always thought that he would be the one who could change her mind.
Marc didn't want to mention too much about himself and Rose, so he raised his head and asked Yolanda, "Why did you come back suddenly?"
Yolanda answered, "Your secretary said that you were liquidating the company, so I just come and see. But I didn't expect you and Sister Rose..."
"It's nothing. Come together, come apart." Marc looked very calm. "I'm going back to the Ustrana next week, you have to take care of yourself here."
"...? " Yolanda was dumbfounded this time. "You're going back? Why? Don't leave, brother."
"Mom's old trouble has recurred again, I want to go back and visit her. Also, it's too long for me to stay here this time." He paused, and his tone was inevitably a little frustrated. "Some things I've done here were completely beyond my principles. Now it's time for me to go back."
"..."
Separation was a heavy topic. The siblings were silent for a long time before Marc broke the silence and asked Yolanda, "You've been living with him, why haven't you brought your relationship out into the public?"
Yolanda knew that he was referring to Aaron, so she explained, "I asked for it. I want to make some achievements before bringing it out to the public."
"Is that so," Marc sneered, "He doesn't seem like wanting to bring it out to the public."
"Don't be prejudiced against him, it's really what I asked."
"Anyway, if he treats you badly, come to Ustrana to find me right away. You got it?" Marc rubbed Yolanda's head. After a while, he sighed helplessly, "I'm afraid he is the same as his sister."
"..." Although Yolanda asked Marc many times what happened between him and Rose, he kept his mouth shut. He didn't mention a word.
On the way back, Yolanda kept thinking about this matter, and her mind was restless. When she got down, she felt that her perfect life was suddenly torn apart.
After she got home, the lights were already on in the house. Aaron was sitting on the sofa in the living room and looked at his laptop. Noticing Yolanda's return, he said casually, "You're back?"
Yolanda replied glumly.
Aaron sensed Yolanda's depression and raised his head. "What's the matter?"
Yolanda threw her bag aside, sat beside the sofa, and hugged Aaron's arm. "My brother is leaving."
"Leaving?" Aaron frowned. "Where is he going?"
"He's going back to Ustrana."
"I see, it's worth celebrating."
"..." Yolanda straightened up her body and hit Aaron a few times. "Aren't you annoying?"
Aaron kept quiet and he focused on his laptop again.
Yolanda softened her hits. "And he broke up with your sister."
Aaron wasn't surprised at all. "As expected."
"Why?"
"There's no why. It's my intuition."
"..."
Aaron's intuition has always been very accurate. Whether it was at people or investing, his accuracy rate was very high.
Even he said no to it. Yolanda was even more frustrated. "But I can see that my brother still loves your sister very much."
Aaron didn't respond. Yolanda pushed him. "Can you give me some reaction?"
Aaron asked, "What kind of reaction do you want me to show you?"
"Well, can you call and ask your sister?  At least let me know what's the problem between them, and whether my brother still has a chance."
"Why should I help him?" Aaron sounded indifferent. "It's not that you don't know that your brother and I are not good in terms."
"..." Yolanda coquettishly tugged at his sleeve. "I beg you."
Aaron put down his laptop and said indifferently, "I'm not calling."
After that, he went back to his study.
Yolanda muttered twice and thought alone in the living room. During this time, she was focused on falling in love and completely ignored Marc. She didn't know that he had encountered such an uncomfortable situation.
Yolanda felt very guilty. She wanted to help her brother trying his best again no matter what.
If he went back to Ustrana, it would be impossible for the two of them.
She looked in the direction of the study and thought about how to pry open Aaron's arrogant mouth. 
Out of the blue, Phoebe's words appeared in her mind-
"Sometimes, appropriate immodesty can quickly promote the development of mutual feelings, and maybe there will be unexpected results."
...Unexpected result? Yolanda thought about it for a while and vaguely felt that she seemed to have found a way.
Fifteen minutes later, Yolanda pushed the door of the study open and saw Aaron was still working. She coughed, held a cup of coffee, and walked in, "I've prepared it for you."
Aaron sneered without raising his head, "So you want to bribe me to help you with this?"
"Of course not," Yolanda walked around behind Aaron from the other side and pretended to help him squeeze his shoulders. "Then what do you mean by this? If I can bribe you, promise to help me make this call."
Aaron didn't care, his attitude was still cold. "Do you think you have anything to bribe me?"
After a few seconds, Yolanda suddenly released massaging his shoulders, went around his side, and sat on his lap.
There was a soft weight on his body. A scent also reached his nose. 
Aaron paused and looked at her beautiful face quietly. But after a moment, he still didn't accept her offer.
"Even you sit up here, it's useless." He commented.
Yolanda blinked. "Then look down to see if it's useless."
Aaron didn't know what Yolanda was doing, so he lowered his gaze subconsciously and looked over.
A pair of smooth, slender legs were shown under the hazy light.
"..."
After several seconds of silence, Aaron picked up the coffee and took a sip. 
"Alright," He put down the cup. His voice became hoarse at this point. "You've become so bold, Yolanda."
