Someone objected, "If she was with someone rich then she wouldn't be working here. Someone who can afford to drive a Lincoln would be able to give her at least ten to twenty thousand dollars per month. There's no need for her to be working as a sales assistant in the men department store."
"Haha!" Enaryln laughed mockingly. "That's because she is greedy! She wants to continue working here to that she can snag herself a rich unmarried young man. That's why I said she's foxy and cunning. We can never guess what she's thinking."
Selina asked Yesseca over for dinner again.
Selina made up her mind that she would not let the driver pick up Yesseca that night. She would let Kyi in pick Yesseca up directly, so that Kyi in and Yesseca could get familiar with each other and develop a relationship.
However, Yesseca said she had already made other plans.
She said she was going to the Quartley family home for dinner.
Hearing this, Selina's heart jolted.
Heading to the Quartley family home for dinner?
"Could it be that Tremaine, that evil man, was up to something?" Selina thought.
She immediately asked nervously, "Yesseca, did Tremaine invite you to dinner?"
"No, it was Montez," Yesseca explained.
Selina breathed a sigh of relief.
She reminded Yesseca again, "Yesseca, it's better for you and Tremaine to stay away from each other. Even if you like that child, you can't always go to the Quartley family home."
"Miss Whitlock, why do you want me to lessen my contact with Tremaine?" Yesseca asked.
Selina was caught by surprise.
She couldn't speak her thoughts directly, hence she said dryly, "Didn't you tell me before that you hate Tremaine? He is cold and ruthless, so I think you'd better stay away from such a man."
Yesseca smiled, "That's true. But that was then, and now I actually feel that he's not that bad."
Sirens went off in Selina's heart. The evil man had made his move!
Selina felt that she had to speed things up and let Kylin attract Yesseca's heart as soon as possible. She couldn't let any harm come into Yesseca's way.
Yesseca was still young and Selina would not allow Yesseca to be someone's stepmom.
"Yesseca, he might be faking it. He just wants you to like him."
Yesseca couldn't help but laugh. "Selina, you think too much. Why would he want to do that? I'm not an important person to him."
Selina thought about confessing her thoughts to Yesseca but thought better of it again.
Considering how naive Yesseca was, she wouldn't be able to understand even if Selina explained to her.
"Since you've agreed to it this time, then go tonight. After that, don't go to their place tomorrow or in the future. Come to my place for dinner instead everyday. I'm pregnant and bored so you can accompany me."
When Yesseca heard that Selina needed her company, she agreed immediately.
When Yesseca got off work, she hailed a cab as there were no public bus routes in the area where Quartley family home was located.
But the moment she stepped out of the mall she saw an extravagantly luxurious Ferrari parked outside.
Yesseca felt that the car was quite attractive and she couldn't help but glance at it once more.
Suddenly, the window wound down. Tremaine's handsome face showed up in Yesseca's view, "Get in."
His tone was cold.
Yesseca was a little astounded.
Why was Tremaine here? Was he here just to pick her up?
Just as Yesseca was pondering, Tremaine's impatient voice sounded again, "Are you deaf? Get in the car now."
"Oh," Yesseca got into the car.
Tremaine stepped on the gas pedal and the Ferrari sped off immediately.
Yesseca asked curiously, "Mr. Quartley, did you come specially to pick me up?"
Tremaine's gaze fell on Yesseca's face.
His gaze was deep and Yesseca's heart somehow beat faster looking at it. But the next second, her heartbeat slowed down when she heard, "Stop assuming. I was just around the area."
Yesseca was a little speechless.
She lifted the corner of her lips a little and murmured, "With someone as poker-faced as you, who dared to assume anything at all?"
