"He doesn't see me as a regular friend, so he came to pick me up. Since I'm not interested in him, I just need to treat him as a regular friend..." Yesseca mumbled to herself.
Maybe it was because she wasn't smart enough to understand, as she found herself going in circles with the logic.
Just then, they arrived at the mall.
Kyi in stopped the car.
Before getting out of the car, Yesseca said to Kyi in, "I don't want you picking me up after work."
Kyi in looked deeply at Yesseca and said, "It's my business if I want to pick you up. Yesseca, you can't control me."
Yesseca was stunned.
He sounded so justified with his reasoning.
"Well, it's time for you to go to work. Best to get out now," Kylin nudged gently.
Yesseca opened the door.
She was quite slow when it came to thinking of comebacks.
After getting out of the car, she realized that Kylin's reasoning was unfair. Just as she was about to say something, Kylin had already driven off.
Yesseca felt dizzy.
"Yesseca!" Suddenly, someone tapped Yesseca on the shoulder.
Yesseca turned around and saw Cassie.
"Cassie." She smiled at her.
"I saw that." Cassie said knowingly.
"What did you see?"
"Just now I saw you get out of a car. I saw the young man in the car. He looked really handsome, even better-looking than a TV star." Cassie's tone was full of admiration.
Yesseca chuckled. "He was just dropping me off."
Cassie lowered her voice and asked, "Future husband?"
"No." Yesseca didn't know why Cassie asked such a question and said casually, "I don't even have a boyfriend, never mind getting married."
"That's what I said!" Cassie slapped her thigh. "Those people are just bad mouthing you, just spouting nonsense!"
Cassie didn't believe any of the gossip from the other ladies at the mall. However, when she saw Yesseca in that luxury car earlier, she started to worry. Now that Yesseca confirmed that she wasn't married, she was completely relieved.
It was normal for a bachelor to chase after a woman. Yesseca was just very lucky.
Men who drove sports cars were always rich and had good standing in society.
Those women who slandered Yesseca for being a wealthy mistress were probably extremely jealous.
"Yesseca, that young man is pursuing you," Cassie said with a smile.
Yesseca's face turned red. "No, it's not like that."
"Don't say that." Cassie tapped on Yesseca's shoulder. "That young man probably fancies you and wants to be with you. No wonder those women in the mall envy you so much and slander you. After all, they'd be so jealous of you having such a good young man interested in you."
Yesseca was even more embarrassed.
Cassie moved closer to Yesseca. "Tell me. How far have you two taken it?"
Yesseca was quiet.
She blushed and said, "Cassie, what are you even talking about? Nothing's happened. We're just friends."
Cassie was surprised. "You haven't gone on a date
with him yet?"
This man was pursuing Yesseca, Cassie was very certain of this. However, Yesseca said that they haven't even gone on a date yet. Cassie couldn't believe this.
"I, I, I..." Yesseca was so shy and nervous that she couldn't speak.
Cassie became more talkative, "Yesseca, why didn't you go on a date with him? Although I've only seen him once, that young man looks like a good choice. His car looks very expensive. It's not easy to find a good man. Yesseca, you have to be sure."
Yesseca stomped her foot down. "Alright, Cassie, stop talking."
Cassie knew that Yesseca was a very shy girl.
She took Yesseca's hand and said, "Okay, okay, no more questions. Let's get to work."
The both of them changed into their uniforms and went up to the third floor.
After arriving on the third floor, Cassie glanced over at Enaryln's counter and started talking again, "Yesseca, you have to bring that young man over to the mall to see what we have in stock. That'll show everyone. Yesseca, you've found yourself a real diamond. Everything they've said was untrue."
