“Who?” Charles asked, tapping on his desk.

“Winter’s agent, Jane Gordon!” Ronald explained. “She used to work for Whitemoor Company, and

she’s not too happy with Winter. Now that Winter’s cut ties with Whitemoor, Jane didn’t stick with

her!”

Charles revealed a small smile and lifted an eyebrow telling Ronald to go on. Ronald nodded and

said, “The folks at Whitemoor Company found out that Royal Star Entertainment wants Winter, so

they agreed to let Winter go. Whitemoor didn’t say much about Jane. I figured that since she used to

be Winter’s agent, why not keep her on? She knows Winter better than anyone else!”

“Go ahead with handling these smaller matters,” Charles said.

“Will do!” Ronald could tell Charles was happy with his plan. “Oh, and there’s something else.”

Charles frowned and gestured for him to continue. “What is it?”

“It’s about Madam’s old place…” Ronald hesitated. “She never gave it up, so the landlord’s been

holding onto it. It wasn’t a problem, but lately… Well…”

Charles’s frown deepened, and he looked a bit upset.

Ronald cleared his throat and got to the point. “The landlord called me today asking about Madam. I

had a hunch, so I warned him about this before. He said someone’s been hanging around her place

a lot lately!”

Ronald was being subtle, but Charles was quick to catch on. “What exactly did he say?”

“He didn’t say much. He just asked if Madam had made any enemies lately. He snapped a picture

and wondered if he should call the cops next time.” Handing the photo to Charles, Ronald watched

his

reaction.

Charles took a quick look. His eyes were icy, but he smirked. “We definitely should call the police.

Creepy strangers hanging around our house is a job for the cops. We pay them to keep us safe,

right?”

Charles sounded as cool as a cucumber, but Ronald got the message: Charles was pissed off.

Xavier had dumped Noelle to chase money. Even though he had Winter now, he just could not

leave Noelle alone. Ronald had no respect for that kind of guy.

“I’ve already filled in the landlord,” Ronald said, thinking Xavier must have a death wish to mess with

Noelle. “And there’s more…” He wiped his forehead, feeling overwhelmed with today’s news.

Charles was getting antsy. “Just tell me everything!”

“Madam’s mom stopped by Madam’s place. It looks like she didn’t find Madam, so she left. But she

left a storm behind, saying some nasty stuff about Madam!”

Charles’s gaze turned stormy. “Got it.”

Ronald hesitated. It was Noelle’s mom, after all. No matter how bad she was, she was still her

mom.

He was not sure how to handle this.

“When’s Xavier and Winter’s wedding?” Charles blurted out, catching Ronald off guard. Ronald

blinked and said, “Uh… I don’t think Xavier has planned that yet.”

“Well, let’s get him planning, and get them married right away,” Charles said, a bit annoyed. Just

then, a knock came from the door, and soon after, Noelle peeked in. “Are you still working? Sorry,

am I

interrupting?”
