" Your husband actually lets you work now ? Last time we talked on the phone , you said you weren't going to work anymore . " The question hit a sore spot , and Yolanda felt a little embarrassed . There was no way she could air her marital mess in front of everyone . Rich people cared about appearances - dirty laundry was never to be shown in public . That was one of the rules she had learned from the Grant family . So , Yolanda only smiled . " I can't just stay at home all the time . By the way , what's his name again ? " She still couldn't believe someone this talented had wasted two years here . Before Megan could answer , the young man spoke up . " Ian Foster . " He glanced at Yolanda , then quickly looked away . Yolanda curved her lips . " Alright , I'll remember that ." Megan whispered , " What's wrong with you ? Wasn't it you who brought him here back then ? How could you forget his name ? " Yolanda felt awkward - she honestly couldn't remember . The past few years , she had poured all her energy into Charles , doing everything she could to care for him . She hadn't paid attention to anyone else . Taking a deep breath , she kept her smile . " Megan , mind if we order takeout at your place later ? " Megan froze for a few seconds before nodding . " My place is tiny . You're used to living like a rich lady - just don't look down on it . " Megan was blunt , not mocking . But Yolanda realized that after being cooped up for two years , she really had fallen out of touch with the world .

Jan doesn't like going out , and since the top floor is all ours , we figured we might as well . Young people , you know - they've got energy to burn , " Megan said .

Ian's whole body went stiff , his fingers curling slightly on his knee . Then he turned his head toward the window , silent . It was only after fastening it that Yolanda realized Ian wasn't Charles . He didn't need her fussing over him at all . She pulled back , started the car , and set the GPS for Megan's place . Megan was lively . She asked Yolanda , " Have you watched any of the shows Ian's been in ? In the past two years , he's done quite a few . Though he hasn't had a leading role , he's gained some attention . Our studio's been surviving on him alone ." Yolanda felt even more embarrassed . If she had known the studio had such a talented guy , she would've introduced him to some directors . And ever since getting married , she hadn't followed the entertainment industry at all . Ian stayed quiet , his head lowered . He didn't hear Yolanda's answer , but he could tell she hadn't seen any of those shows . Megan gasped dramatically , " Oh my God , you haven't even been watching TV or movies ? Yolanda , didn't you study this in college ? How could you give it all up after getting married ? " Your husband must really love you to let you give up something you're so passionate about ." Yolanda gripped the steering wheel tighter . She felt helpless , her heart heavy , not knowing what to say .
