Chapter 18 
Yolanda's heart skipped a beat.
What did he mean?
Did he know the truth?
Although she wasn't sure, she was still calm. Probably because she had experienced too much in the past few days, she had already mastered the ability to keep calm.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Don't you?"
Aaron lowered his eyes to look at Yolanda's elbow. There was indeed a light-colored bruise, which should have been caused just now.
He shook off her arm.
"You first pestered Lenny to ask about Miss Watts and then sneaked into the restaurant. You even deliberately clashed with her to attract my attention. Don't tell me that everything is a coincidence."
Yolanda was shocked.
Sure enough, he was a master in the entertainment circle, a person who was not fed medicine by Sally, and a person who could find all the different places in Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival.
He saw through her little tricks.
This made Yolanda surprised.
Even though she was smart enough, she didn't know how to respond at the moment. She could only play dumb and remain silent, with her mind racing to think of a solution.
However, Aaron seemed to have no patience and raised his voice, "Answer me."
Lowering her head, Yolanda bit her lips. She was now desperately trying to think of a good response.
She knew there was no way back for her. This man was so smart that no one could fool him with tricks.
Now, she could do nothing but admit it with a sound reason.
She closed her eyes.
"Yes, I admit it! I was a little unhappy yesterday when I heard that you were going to date your girlfriend," Yolanda said.
Aaron was obviously stunned. After a while, he said to the driver and secretary in front of him calmly, "you go out first."
After the two men got out of the car, Aaron asked, "Why are you unhappy?"
Yolanda started to act.
"I'm afraid that you would abandon me and send me back to the sanatorium. You have girlfriend now."
"When I first arrived, you didn't like me very much and didn't want to recognize me. You finally accept me, but you have a girlfriend now and don't need me anymore. I think you will only be with her and like her in the future."
"But I will only be abandoned and forgotten by you slowly."
Her voice was lower and lower.
In a trance, what she said brought back sad memories for her.
She was abandoned and forgotten.
When she was six years old, she watched her mother and brother leave. She chased after the car for a long time, but they didn't stop.
For so many years, she did not feel her mother's love, nor her brother's.
She was really abandoned and forgotten by them.
As soon as she finished her words, she felt a little sad and her eyes turned red.
Aaron was stunned.
Why did she cry again?
He was at his wits' end with her.
"All right." He hastily ended the topic. "Can't I ask you a question now? You always cry."
Yolanda hung her head and shook it again.
This time, she was not pretending to cry. She really did so.
Seeing that Yolanda didn't say anything and looked pitiful, Aaron felt a little helpless. He cursed something that only he could hear, took out a piece of tissue, and handed it to her.
"Shall we go to Sela Bridge?"
Raising her head, Yolanda said, "yes."
Aaron had never been so helpless in his life.
He called the driver and secretary back and drove to the place where she wanted to go.
At the same time, a smile spread across Yolanda's face.
To be honest, Yolanda felt that Aaron treated her well, though he would be unkind to her sometimes.
For example, he had seen through her cleverness just now, but he still acted in concert, which could indicate that he revealed a preference for her, instead of Wendy.
Thinking of this, Yolanda smiled at Aaron and said, "You're the best Brother all over the world."
When Aaron and Yolanda arrived at Sela Bridge, Jenny also arrived from the hotel.
The three of them found a restaurant nearby for dinner and went to Sela Bridge together.
In the past, Yolanda had always viewed it as a crowded and chaotic city where the rich like her would never come and stay. But now she found it was really a good place after she walked around the city yesterday.
She didn't know when she would come here again after she went to Capital, so she decided to come to have fun before she left.
In the crowded market, Yolanda walked in front of them. Aaron and Lenny followed her.
Yolanda was in a good mood. She looked around, with excitement on her face.
Aaron had promised that he would only stay here for one hour, but before he knew it, two hours had passed.
Even Lenny couldn't help but say, "I've never seen you so patient."
But Aaron sneered, "As long as she doesn't regain her memory, Happer will feel guilty every day. I'm just helping him."
Lenny knew that Aaron didn't speak his hearts. They worked with each other for many years and he knew Aaron well.
Lenny asked, "Have you seen Miss Watts? How is she? Is she the lady you are looking for?"
Aaron said, "I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"I'm not sure." While walking, Aaron looked at Yolanda who was having fun in front of him. After a while, he said, "but it doesn't matter."
Lenny didn't fully understand what he said. He followed his gaze and finally figured out the reason why it didn't matter.
Lenny knew that some things had slowly changed in Aaron's world, but Aaron didn't know it yet.
Just as the two men were talking, Yolanda suddenly turned around and said, "Brother, come here!"
She waved her hand and looked very excited.
Aaron slowly walked over and asked, "what?"
Pointing at the doll stall not far away, she said, "I bought them here yesterday."
Right now, the stall had a pair of identical dolls on it. Yolanda snorted and said, "he told me that they were limited. He lied to me."
As soon as she finished speaking, a young couple came to the stall and picked up the dolls. The boss' loud voice immediately came over.
"You two have good taste. This is the limited edition of the golden couple I made! They are a perfect match! If you buy them, you will never be apart."
Yolanda was stunned.
"What?"
Embarrassed, she turned around and waved at Aaron.
"No, it's not like that. When I bought it, he really said that they were brother and sister. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lenny."
It was the first time that Aaron had seen her stammer like this. He couldn't help but laugh.
Aaron didn't say anything and walked out of the stall. Following him, Jenny smiled meaningfully.
Yolanda thought, "Let me explain!"
"What are you laughing at? You two!"
On the evening of the third day, Yolanda and Aaron boarded the plane back to Capital.
Although the trip to Darlington was full of challenges, but Yolanda managed to deal with them. Before boarding the plane, Yolanda received a message from Phoebe.
"I have to tell you. Wendy's top band didn't come when they heard that the contract was suddenly canceled. I heard that she was so angry at the banquet just now!"
Yolanda remembered what Aaron had said to her in Darlington when she was receiving hypnotherapy at the house of Peter.
The band Wendy invited should be under the management of Peter. As for why they all stopped acting all of a sudden...
She stole a glance at Aaron.
Did he do it? Was it because Wendy pushed her?
Although it was possible, she didn't want to flatter herself. What if the band couldn't come because they were busy.
But anyway, Wendy, the hidden bomb, was completely solved.
Yolanda didn't worry that Wendy would be a threat to her again because, during the time she had been with Aaron, Yolanda had already known that in this man's world, the person who had been denied would never have a second chance.
For example, Sally and Wendy.
The journey went on smoothly. At eight o'clock in the evening, Yolanda and Aaron returned to Capital.
Ms. Twelve welcomed them. She had only prepared one almond tea, but now she had prepared two.
After sending Aaron back home safely, Jenny took out a small box that he had been carrying all the time when Yolanda went back to her room.
"Boss, what should we do with this necklace now?"
Aaron squinted at it.
At that time, Aaron had heard from Peter that Wendy was going to celebrate her birthday, so he had asked someone to prepare this gift in advance. He thought that if he was sure that the woman that night was her, he would give her this as a gift.
But in the end, everything was different from what he thought.
Aaron took the necklace and said, "give it to me."
After returning to Capital, Yolanda had a rest for two days. Then, she was ready to give a heavy blow to James.
This time when she went back to see Elbert, she had a lot of thoughts. The world was unpredictable, and she also saw the coldness and warmth of Wendy and her so-called friends.
The only way to revive the Walter family was by herself.
Therefore, even if she wanted to take revenge on James, she didn't want to waste too much time on that man.
She had set a goal for herself, two months at most.
After that, she had to take up her own family responsibility.
Yolanda had searched online and found that James was very popular now. He had just taken part in a variety show and had an image as an honest young man who would blush when he saw a girl.
Yolanda was disgusted at the sight of this.
If she wanted to stop Azel Group from signing the contract with James, she had to expose something that shocked the public before they signed the contract. Only in this way could Azel Group reconsider James' market value.
However, as an outsider of the entertainment circle, Yolanda knew nothing about the news in the entertainment circle. Therefore, she had considered how to find fault with James for several days.
The first one who came to her mind was Aaron.
He was the richest and most powerful man in the entertainment circle. Now, Yolanda had only entered his life, but she hadn't infiltrated into the world where he worked.
That was the place where she could get the most first-hand information. Moreover, before they were ready to sign the contract, there must be relevant matters to be done.
Second, it was Elsa Happer, the daughter of Happer.
Through Happer, Yolanda had added Elsa's WhatsApp account. Elsa was a fan of James. The little girl was young and was the most enthusiastic star chaser. She seemed to be a manager of a fan group, and her whole Twitter was related to James.
Yolanda believed that she could find an entrance to attack.
One day, when they had breakfast at home, Yolanda began to beat around the bush.
"Brother, I think I should find something to do now."
Aaron lowered his head to eat, waiting quietly to see what new tricks she would play.
"I feel bored at home every day. I don't have anything to do. It's a waste of time and life."
Aaron nodded, "Then what do you want to do?"
"I want to go out in the sun and go home in the evening just like you. I want to live a full and meaningful life every day."
After a moment of silence, Aaron nodded, "okay."
Yolanda was stunned.
That's it?
She hadn't said what she wanted to do.
Unable to stay calm anymore, Yolanda asked, "what?"
"I'll ask someone to find a school for you later. You go to school every day. It's meaningful."
Yolanda didn't know whether Aaron meant it or he was praising her for being young.
"Although I have lost my memory, I am sure that I am not a student."
"Then who are you?"
"A beautiful woman," said Yolanda.
Although she regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the smile on Aaron's face.
His smile offended Yolanda.
Was there anything wrong with the words "a beautiful woman"?
There was no doubt about the word "woman". So he was doubting that the word "beautiful" didn't match her?
Putting down her bowl, she asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Aaron skipped over her question and asked directly, "how do you want to enrich yourself?"
Finally, he got to the point. Ignoring the suspicion about her appearance, she leaned toward Aaron and said, "I want to work as an intern in Azel Group with you."
Aaron glanced at her, "you?"
The disdainful look in his eyes made her sit straight. "What's wrong with me?"
"Media planning, artist brokerage, project planning, business release, big data management... Which one can you do?"
Yolanda was stunned.
Aaron glanced at her again, "or to be an actress?"
Yolanda shook her head.
"I have made up my mind."
"What?"
"Your secretary."
"I already have one."
"But I'm different from Blair."
"What's the difference?"
After thinking for a few seconds, she said confidently, "I'll be your private secretary."
Aaron laughed.
He took a sip of tea and ignored her.
Yolanda knew that he didn't take her words seriously at all. He just treated it as a joke.
As for people like Aaron, she had figured out a way.
To solve a problem with him, she had to do the opposite.
"Okay, I see." So she didn't say anything more and ate breakfast quietly.
After a while, she opened WhatsApp and clicked it. The phone vibrated.
Aaron frowned, "What are you doing?"
"You don't want me to go to the company to learn something. I don't even have a person to talk to at home, and I don't know anyone else. I can only find an online friend to chat with me."
Then she murmured to herself, "Wow, it's so close. It's only three hundred meters away from me."
Then she walked into the room while staring at the phone. "I'm finished. Brother, be careful on the way."
Aaron didn't know what to say.
Yolanda couldn't be quiet for even a minute.
"Stop!" He finally spoke.
With a sly smile, she turned around and winked at him. "What's up?"
"Go change your clothes and come with me later."
At nine o'clock in the morning, all the employees in the office building of Azel Studio were as busy as usual. Suddenly, a piece of news exploded in the gossip group of different departments in the company.
"Big news! Boss brought a woman to the company!"
"Yes. They just past the front desk. Is she a new actress? Why haven't I seen her?"
"Maybe. Although she is wearing a mask, she has a nice figure. Her legs are longer than Sandra's."
"It seems that these women all know that our boss likes beautiful legs. Sandra is threatened as soon as she got the position?"
"Wait a minute, my friends! The boss took her to his office and closed the door! I was shocked. He didn't bring other women into the office before, right?"
"I want to tell you something. I'm not sure. I heard the boss took her with him since he went on a business trip to Darlington. She's his new favorite woman."
"Sandra is going to be ignored before she gets the position?"
"Sally has already been ignored."
Yolanda didn't know that her arrival had caused a stir in the whole company and had become the biggest news of the day.
In the Office, looking around, she asked, "Brother, don't I even have a work seat?"
Without raising his head, Aaron said, "aren't you going to be a private secretary? Stay with me. You are not allowed to leave at any time."
Yolanda was stunned.
As a secretary, why did she act like a prisoner?
Forget it. She could bear the humiliation.
"Then what should I do?" It was her first day to work in her life and she worked as a secretary.
"Make me a cup of coffee," said Aaron.
There was a tea room in the CEO's office. Yolanda found a coffee machine and began to work.
When she was making coffee, she checked her phone and found that Elsa had updated a post about James this morning.
"On new year's Eve, James will attend the new year's gala held by the television station of Capital, and then stay in Cielo Hotel. Does anyone want to go to see him?"
Yolanda was overjoyed. She was just wondering how to find out the whereabouts of the man, but now it came to her.
Cielo Hotel.
The new year's Eve.
As soon as these words came out, Yolanda smelled the gossip.
It was a special day, and a bad man couldn't spend it alone.
When Yolanda caught him and his mistress, she was too impulsive to leave any evidence. Now it was a little troublesome to look for the evidence again. To prevent him from signing the contract with Azel Group, she had to go all out.
New year's Eve would be the day after tomorrow.
She had to find a way to escape.
Thoughtfully, Yolanda walked out of the tea room with a cup of coffee in her hand. She didn't know when the director had come. He was sitting opposite Aaron and the two were talking about business.
The director nodded at her as a greeting and continued.
"Mr. Jensen, I have something to ask you. It's about the contract signing of James."
Would she get information as soon as she came here?
Yolanda put down the coffee mug and pricked up her ears.
"After they finished reading the contract, there is no problem with anything else. They just want to add one condition."
Aaron frowned, "what condition?"
"James has to be the hero of two movies every year within two years of the contract."
Yolanda shouted in her heart, "You are so shameless. Why should you be the hero? Because you know how to cheat? Brother, don't promise him!"
On the other side, Aaron chuckled, "He has a lot of requests."
Then he threw the contract aside indifferently and said, "tell them that this man is not so popular as to put forward conditions to me. If he is not satisfied with it, he can refuse to sign it. We don't care."
Good job!
"Brother is awesome!"
The feeling was so good that Yolanda couldn't even notice the weird smile on her face.
Feeling the abnormal aura around him, Aaron turned around and asked, "Why are you standing here?"
Stunned, Yolanda managed her expression and said, "nothing."
After a pause, she said, "I just want to be closer to you."
Aaron and the director were stunned.
Aaron coughed unnaturally and said to the director, "that's it. You can go out first."
"Okay."
The door was closed.
Aaron looked at her and said, "listen carefully."
"Don't call me Brother in the office, don't act like a spoiled child with me. I'm working, not playing with you."
After a short pause, Yolanda said, "Okay, Mr. Jensen."
Then she quietly retreated to the sofa she had just sat on and looked down at her hands.
She was bored.
Aaron sighed helplessly.
He randomly picked up a piece of information about the competitors who had been shortlisted in the young actress selection plan from the table. "Take it and tell me which one is the best after reading it."
Finally, the work was arranged. Yolanda became energetic. She picked up the document and read it carefully.
It was finally quiet. Aaron rubbed his eyebrows and continued to read the documents. Occasionally, he raised his head to look at the woman that seemed to be more and more tightly tied to him and couldn't be shaken off.
He could have refused her.
Why did he compromise again?
The phone on the table suddenly rang, interrupting his thoughts.
It was a call from Bruce Webster.
"The new year's Eve the day after tomorrow."
In the past few years, on new year's day, Aaron would spend time with his friends on the top floor of Cielo Hotel, which was managed by Bruce.
Aaron took a look at his schedule. There was nothing to do the night after tomorrow.
"Okay."
"Are you alone?"
Aaron paused for a moment and looked at Yolanda, who was seriously working.
"Two." He said.
