When Yesseca saw Tremaine, she was flustered, like a thief who saw a policeman.
This is all because of what Montez said to her just now.
Subconsciously, Yesseca wanted to avoid Tremaine.
However, she realized that there seemed to be nowhere to hide.
With that, she gritted her teeth. Forget it. Pretending that she didn't see Tremaine, she walked over just like that.
So, Yesseca lowered her head, shrunk her neck, and quickly passed by Tremaine...
"Stop." He said.
In a trice, Yesseca stopped in her tracks.
After stopping for a moment, Yesseca quickly continued walking forward.
However, she couldn't be faster than Tremaine.
Soon, Tremaine was already standing in front of her.
Sigh. Yesseca had no choice but to stop.
Left without any option, she could only look up, and an awkward smile appeared on her face, which looked worse than crying. "Mr. Quartley."
"Hiding from me?"
"No, I'm not."
Tremaine smirked, "Are you sure?"
Yesseca lied, "Mr. Quartley, my eyesight hasn't been very good recently, so I probably didn't see you."
"Bad eyesight, huh?" Tremaine said meaningfully. "What a coincidence. There is a private doctor in the Quartley family. I'll ask him to help you with your vision and check if you have glaucoma or cataracts."
Yesseca was dumbfounded.
She couldn't help but look up at Tremaine with an angry expression.
Why is this man so sharp-tongued? She thought to herself.
Yesseca swore that Tremaine was the most vicious man she had ever seen!
"There's no need for that. It's not that bad yet!" Yesseca huffed.
Upon seeing Yesseca's furious expression, Tremaine's eyes flashed with a trace of amusement.
"Why are you avoiding me then?" Tremaine asked again.
Realisng that Tremaine was asking this question again, Yesseca's anger was gone, leaving her in a panic mode.
When she started panicking, her face became red all of a sudden.
Her eyes also started to dodge all around, not daring to look at Tremaine again.
At that instant, Tremaine felt strange when he saw Yesseca's expression.
This was also the first time Yesseca had seen him in such a strange manner.
Moments later, Tremaine remembered something.
It was what Montez said to him just now.
He heard it but was immune to the kid's nonsense.
But Yesseca...
After all, Yesseca was a girl. Even though it was just a child's joke, she would certainly overthink things and feel guilty.
Tremaine said, "What Montez told you is a joke. You don't have to take it seriously."
Yesseca was taken aback by his words.
In astonishment, she subconsciously glanced at Tremaine.
Tremaine knew everything Montez had told her?
"A joke?" Yesseca murmured subconsciously.
"They're all jokes. You didn't take it seriously, did you?" Tremaine's eyes narrowed slightly.
Yesseca immediately raised her neck. "Of course I didn't take it seriously. Do you think I'll take things seriously when I'm talking to a child?"
