Clearly, Yolanda had indeed been whisked away by Cassius.
Lizetta nodded, "I saw it."
She needed to see Yolanda's condition with her own eyes to fully ease her mind.
Remington signaled, and the manager quickly scrolled back through the security footage.
Sure enough, about ten minutes later, Cassius emerged from the private room with two assistants in tow, a petite figure wrapped in his trench coat.
But Yolanda seemed drunk, leaning heavily on Cassius, her steps unsteady as if she was being propped up by him.
After a few steps, she began to slip, and Cassius bent down to scoop Yolanda into his arms, striding away briskly.
They obviously didn't take the main hall exit, which is why Lizetta hadn't seen them.
Lizetta turned to the manager, "There's another door?"
The manager nodded, "Yes, there's a back exit, and a parking lot out there too."
Leaving the security room, Lizetta, thinking about Yolanda's condition in the footage, said to Remington, "Do you know where Cassius might've taken Yoli? This isn't right; I need to find her."
Remington sighed, "Liz, maybe the lovebirds don't want to be disturbed. You haven't eaten yet, and Vivi is waiting for us. Let's just go have some barbecue."
He took Lizetta's hand, leading her towards the main hall.
Lizetta yanked her hand back, "What lovebirds? Yoli broke up with Cassius!"
Could Cassius have drugged Yolanda?
The more Lizetta thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Yolanda could hold her liquor; how had she become so weak after just a short while?
And recalling the sound of something heavy dropping when she had called Cassius, Lizetta grew even more worried.
"Lovers have their ups and downs, it's not unusual. Cassius might not want to break up. Give Yolanda a few days, and they'll likely make up. You're overstepping; you'll end up being the bad guy."

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
