Tremaine replied coldly, "Madam Quartley, she isn't Montez's mother. No matter whether it is to me or to Montez, she is just an outsider. You don't have to send people to look for her. Even if you did find her, I'd never agree to meeting her."
"Tremaine!" Madam Quartley shouted.
"Well, I have work to attend to. You should go and get some rest."
She was furious. However, when she noticed that Tremaine was ignoring her, she knew she wouldn't be able to get anything more out of him.
She stood up and said, "Tremaine, I know you won't listen to me. But you should for Montez's sake. He needs his real mother by his side."
"Alright, Madam Quartley, so please leave." Tremaine interrupted.
She sighed and walked out of the study.
Yesseca and Kyi in went to a nearby cafe.
All Yesseca wanted to do was to finish her drink and leave.
But Kylin was looking to have a long chat with her.
Yesseca's heart was beating nervously.
Because she'd just remembered what Selina had told her before.
She thought highly of Kyi in, but there was no spark between them.
Yesseca told herself, if Kyi in gave her any hints about this, she would put a stop to it right away.
However, after chatting for some time, he didn't seem to drop any hints at all. They just discussed some interesting topics at length.
Yesseca began to relax.
She was simply overthinking things. She figured that a man who was gentle and sweet as he was only humored the idea with her. After all, such an amazing person like Kyi in wouldn't fall in love with a nobody like her.
As she relaxed, Yesseca returned to her normal self and chatted earnestly with Kylin. She then saw the time and remembered that she was supposed to be at work!
Yesseca stood up in a panic. "I'm sorry to cut things short. I have to get to work. I'm going to be late."
Kylin found Yesseca's panicked look humorous and attractive.
He said gently, "Don't worry, I'll take you to work."
Yesseca had arrived at her workplace.
After changing into her uniform, Yesseca rushed over to her station.
Enaryln arrived soon after.
She didn't come empty-handed. She had a bag of snacks in her hand.
She placed the snacks enthusiastically on Yesseca's cashier counter. "Have some, Yesseca. I've bought a bunch of snacks. I got some chips and cookies. Help yourself to anything you'd like."
Yesseca smiled sweetly at Enaryln. "Thank you, but it's not a good idea to eat during work time."
"It'll be fine. There aren't any customers anyway." Enaryln replied.
Yesseca shook her head. "Regardless, we still have to abide by company rules."
Enaryln quietly cursed at the rules, but kept her sweet smile. "Alright, whatever you say."
She whispered, "Yesseca, I saw everything."
Yesseca was confused. "What did you see?"
Enaryln gestured with her hand. "I saw another sports car that came to pick you up the other day. You're really something. I saw a very handsome guy with you."
Yesseca was quiet.
Enaryln said fawningly, "Tell me your secret Yesseca. Where did you find all these handsome men? Is it because you worked in the men's clothing section? Can I work there too?"
Ever since she saw that man's handsome face in the car, she felt dead inside. Now she was willing to put her pride aside to befriend Yesseca.
She was confident that she had a much better looking body and a prettier face than Yesseca's. If Yesseca was able to seduce those men, then she would definitely be able to do the same.
