Preslie was missing!
Preslie had told her that she would drop by Selina's house, and judging from the time, she should have been there a long time ago.
Yesseca's heart tightened.
She had to make a phone call to ask Preslie what had happened.
However...
Her eyes quavered.
She didn't have her phone with her.
Yesseca glanced at Tremaine subconsciously.
He was looking out of the window, his face tensed tightly.
Yesseca bit her lip.
She could tell that Tremaine was not happy, and she grumbled internally. There was nothing that he should be unhappy about!
It was all his fault.
But now, he was the one sulking.
Yesseca's gaze travelled to Sheldon, who was driving the car.
She wouldn't borrow Tremaine's phone. She would borrow Sheldon's phone instead!
Yesseca asked, "Mr. Sheldon, can I borrow your phone?"
Sheldon didn't think much about it. He held the steering wheel with one hand and took out his phone with his other hand, handing it over.
Just as Yesseca was about to reach out and take the phone from Sheldon's hand, Sheldon suddenly felt a murderous gaze on him.
He paused.
He quickly retracted his hand and continued driving as if nothing had happened.
Yesseca was speechless.
Her hand grabbed onto air the moment she was about to close her palm on Sheldon's phone.
Just as Yesseca was about to question Sheldon, a cold voice sounded from behind her, "If you want a phone, don't you know how to ask me instead of other people?"
Tremaine's face was full of displeasure at this moment.
This damn woman.
He was sitting right next to her!
But she was willing to ask Sheldon for his phone instead of him.
Yesseca saw that Tremaine was pissed.
She deliberately retorted, "You're wondering why I'm borrowing a phone from "other people"? Sheldon is your subordinate. How is he "other people"? Don't you think what you're saying is wrong?"
Tremaine was rendered speechless.
He snorted coldly before tapping Yesseca's head with his finger. "You're quite sharp-tongued for a dummy."
Yesseca remained silent seeing how Tremaine said nothing more.
She was not in the mood to bicker with Tremaine.
She had to find Preslie.
Yesseca then asked Tremaine for his phone.
She knew that there was no hope in asking Sheldon for his phone, so she could only ask Tremaine.
Tremaine handed the phone to Yesseca, and she immediately dialled Preslie's phone number.
No one answered.
She called three times in a row, but still, nobody asnwered.
Yesseca became more and more worried.
She knew that Preslie was not someone who would not keep her word. She would not lose contact with her for no reason.
When she left the Perry family, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. It was impossible that Perry hadn't come over, unless...
Yesseca immediately said to Tremaine, "Stop. I need to get out of the car."
Tremaine frowned and bellowed, "What are you pulling again?"
Yesseca said in a hurried tone, "I need to find Preslie. She's missing."
Tremaine did not expect that.
He certainly did not want to look for Preslie.
In his eyes, she was simply an idiotic existence, someone not worth looking for.
But Yesseca insisted on finding her.
Tremaine could only compromise.
He had never compromised with anyone, but Yesseca was the only exception.
They went two ways.
