child star. People like to keep up with celebrities.”
    â€œShe’s been out of the spotlight for so long, I think she’s forgotten she was once a star,” Jason added while typing a response to one of his employees. “I see, other than my little drama, nothing else has gotten out of hand.”
    â€œWe’ve got everything under control. I talked to Max and he wants to meet with us on Wednesday.”
    â€œWith everything going on, I hadn’t even thought about asking Amber to renew her contract.”
    â€œYou’ve had more important things on your mind. Love will make you lose your train of thought,” Charlotte said.
    â€œWho said I was in love?” Jason smiled as he asked the question.
    â€œI’ve seen how you look at her when you think no one is watching. And that’s all I’m going to say,” Charlotte responded.
    â€œEnough about me. What’s going on with you?” he asked. Jason stopped typing and gave Charlotte his undivided attention.
    Charlotte burst out crying. It caught Jason off guard.
    â€œCharlotte, do I need to come over there? What’s wrong?” Jason asked question after question.
    â€œIt’s Sean. I think he’s having an affair. I’m about to have his baby, and I don’t have the strength to confront him.”
    Jason laughed.
    â€œJason, this is not funny. I’m serious,” Charlotte shouted from the other end of the line.
    â€œStop crying.”
    â€œWhat am I supposed to do? I’m always fixing other people’s lives, but who’s going to fix mine?”
    Jason scrolled through his contacts and sent Sean a quick text message: We need to talk .
    He said to Charlotte over the phone, “You and I both know Sean is not sleeping with anyone else. That man adores you.”
    â€œI thought so too, but lately he’s been acting strange. He won’t even touch me. My Sean would never not touch me. But this new Sean? He acts as if I have the plague or something. And this is his baby I’m carrying, so why is he acting like this with me?”
    Jason didn’t know, but he didn’t like hearing that his business partner and best friend was hurting. If Sean was messing around on Charlotte, he would have hell to pay.
    His phone beeped, alerting him to an incoming text.
    â€œCharlotte, calm down. It’s not good for the baby and it’s not good for you. Try to get some rest. I’m sure nothing’s going on.”
    â€œI’ll try, Jason. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
    Seconds after hanging up with Charlotte, Jason dialed Sean’s number.
    â€œIf it’s not the newlywed,” Sean teased.
    Jason interrupted him. “Forget that. I need to know who you’re screwing and why?”
    â€œExcuse me?” Sean responded.
    â€œYou heard me. How long have you been having an affair?”
    â€œJason, where is this coming from? Affair? I’m not having an affair. I’m a happily married man. My wife’s about to have a baby. But you know that.”
    â€œI just got off the phone with your wife, and she thinks you’re having an affair.”
    â€œJason, I swear to you, I am not cheating. I love Charlotte. She’s my world. I would never do her like that.”
    â€œYou need to explain yourself. Why are you treating her as if she has the plague? Her words, not mine.”
    Sean sighed aloud. “Man, I’ve been trying to deal with her being pregnant the best way I know how. I want to touch her, but I don’t want to hurt the baby. I keep my distance because being around her keeps me in a constant state of arousal, especially knowing she’s carrying my child inside of her.”
    Jason felt relieved. He wouldn’t have to hurt Sean after all. “I think you two need to talk. She thinks you’re acting funny with her because you’re sleeping with another woman. You don’t want to touch her because you’re
