Tremaine was speechless.
When Yesseca reached her office, she had already missed half a day's work.
Fortunately, no one said anything to her.
Everyone knew that Yesseca had a rich boyfriend. No one dared to offend Yesseca, nor was there anyone who would even talk about her behind her back.
However, when they saw Yesseca's distracted expression, everyone came over to ask what had happened.
Yesseca didn't say anything at all.
She just stood there with her head lowered, as if the people around her didn't exist.
Soon, the people who asked questions found it uninteresting and started to leave.
After the people surrounding Yesseca left, Cassie then came over.
She asked worriedly, "What happened to you, Yesseca? I couldn't even reach your phone."
Yesseca said in a low voice, "Cassie, that bald man broke my phone." "Don't you have a spare phone at home? No one answered when I called that either." Cassie said.
Yesseca had one phone that she carried around, and another one that she kept at home. She wasn't being extravagant by owning two phones. It was just that she had overheard a conversation between two elderlies in the mall previously, saying that the dead would maybe leave some messages to those alive, and they wouldn't be able to receive the messages if their phone was turned off.
How could Yesseca not know that it was just nothing but nonsense?
But she still bought a phone and kept it at home.
If perhaps Lothar sent her a message, she wouldn't want herself to miss it if her phone was turned off or disconnected.
So she kept a spare phone at home.
Although she knew that it was impossible for Lothar to send her a message, she still kept it.
Because it was Cassie who accompanied her when she bought the spare phone, she'd asked Yesseca for the phone number.
In fact, Montez had given Tremaine a call the night before using that spare phone in Yesseca's home.
"I was out." Yesseca replied in a soft voice.
She was in the hospital, and she left the phone at home, of course she wouldn't be able to pick it up.
Cassie felt that something must have happened.
Yesseca was serious in her job. Although she had a rich boyfriend, she wouldn't miss work for no reason as long as she hadn't resigned yet. Furthermore, Yesseca's face seemed so pale.
"Yesseca, tell me, what actually happened?" Cassie looked concerned. "Did you quarrel with that young man? It's normal for young couples to quarrel with each other. Don't take it to heart."
Yesseca shook her head.
"What's the matter then?" Cassie was a little anxious.
Yesseca kept silent for a long time before she raised her head again. She looked at Cassie and suddenly asked, "Cassie, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"
Cassie was dumbstruck by that question.
Why would Yesseca ask such a question?
Cassie immediately said, "Of course not, Yesseca. Those so-called supernatural beings only exist in TV and novels, and there are no such things in real life. Don't believe in that nonsenses."
Yesseca's face went pale.
She said softly, "Cassie, do you know why I left a spare phone at home?"
"Isn't it because you have elderlies at home? It's more convenient for you to contact them if you keep a phone at home." Cassie said.
Cassie was only guessing as she didn't know much about Yesseca's family.
Yesseca shook her head.
Her eyes looked a little sad. "Last time when I was eating in the restaurant on the first floor, I heard two old ladies chatting. They said that the dead would send messages to the living occasionally. But the living must not turn off their phones or be on the phone, otherwise, they would not receive the message. I heard it and immediately bought a spare phone and left it at home so that it's always ready to receive the message..."
It was there for Lothar to send her a message.
