Yesseca glared at Tremaine. With dissatisfaction, she said, "Why did you scare the customers away?"
Tremaine said calmly, "Why would you say that? Did you see me speaking to them?"
"You stood there so fiercely that you scared them away! They wouldn't come in because of that!"
Tremaine scanned Yesseca from head to toe and said, "Then why didn't you get scared away by me?"
"I work here, I sell clothes here. Why would I leave because of you?"
After that, Tremaine said with a sneer, "If they really came to buy clothes, how could they be scared away by me?"
Yesseca was speechless.
She couldn't refute Tremaine's words at all, and could only glare at Tremaine. "Fine, you have the sharper tongue. I don't want to talk to you anymore."
Just then, Cassie walked in.
She caught sight of Tremaine and was taken aback.
It wasn't her first time seeing Tremaine, but it was her first time seeing him up close.
He was very handsome and could attract women very easily.
On seeing that Cassie had fix her gaze on him, Tremaine felt annoyed.
He stared coolly at her.
Cassie then looked at Yesseca. "Yesseca, is he a customer?"
At that moment, Yesseca didn't know how to respond.
Cassie raised her voice. "Yesseca, if you have anything to say, you can say it now. We're all here, even the security guards are here."
Immediately, Yesseca understood what Cassie meant.
Cassie made it sound as though she was in danger.
Thus, she shook her head and said, "I'm fine, you can go back to your store, I'm okay."
Helplessly, Cassie threw another glance at Tremaine.
"Cassie, I'm really fine," said Yesseca.
Patting Yesseca's hand, Cassie said causally, "Let me know if you need anything."
After Cassie left, Yesseca looked angrily at Tremaine and said, "Mr. Quartley, when are you going to leave?"
Tremaine glanced at the time and realized that it was almost lunch time.
He said, "Let's have lunch together."
"I don't want to eat with you." Yesseca's expression had darkened.
Tremaine said as if he didn't see it, "I'll wait for you."
Yesseca was speechless as her words were being ignored.
No matter what she said, Tremaine just waited there as if he didn't hear her.
In the end, Yesseca had no choice but to concede. "I'll have lunch with you, but you have to leave immediately after that. Please do not disturb me."
Tremaine looked at Yesseca.
As he did have things to do later in the day, he would not trouble Yesseca any further.
Tremaine agreed at once. "Okay."
With that, Yesseca let out a sigh of relief.
Tremaine stood in her store, exuding a sense of coldness that made customers fearful of entering. The important thing was that Yesseca was still angry with Tremaine and was reluctant to interact with him.
At noon, Yesseca took Tremaine to a fast restaurant, which Yesseca often went to. They were very efficient and quick in preparing their food.
When the two of them sat down at the table, Yesseca recalled something.
Didn't she come here with Tremaine and Montez in the past?
During that time, she had ordered some mushrooms, and Tremaine had caused a bit of a scene.
