Yesseca suddenly found the atmosphere in the car suffocating.
She was nearly out of breath.
Yesseca felt like she needed to get out and get some air.
Yesseca said, "Stop the car. I need to get out."
Tremaine looked at Yesseca with confusion in his eyes.
They were very close to the Quartley Palace. Why did Yesseca want to get out of the car?
Yesseca avoided looking at Tremaine's eyes.
She said, "I want to take a walk, so let me out."
"Screech!"
Tremaine stopped the car.
He looked out the window.
The moon was bright and it looked beautiful outside.
Tremaine understood something then.
Perhaps Yesseca was as happy as he was right now, so she wanted to take a walk with him.
Tremaine smiled and said, "I'll be very busy tomorrow, but I'll take a walk with you tonight. I'll stay with you as long as you want to keep walking."
Yesseca was silent.
She then said, "I don't need you to accompany me. I'll just walk by myself."
Tremaine was quiet.
Yesseca pushed the door open and got out of the car.
Tremaine stepped out as well.
He saw how quickly Yesseca moved. She really had no intention of waiting for him at all.
Tremaine immediately caught up to her and raised his voice, "Didn't you say you wanted to take a walk?"
He sounded completely in disbelief.
Yesseca took a deep breath and said, "Yes, but I want to walk alone. Get back into the car."
Tremaine looked at Yesseca, confused.
Why did Yesseca want to walk outside by herself so late at night?
Yesseca ignored him and kept walking. Although Tremaine hadn't figured it out, he still followed after her.
When she saw him catch up to her again, Yesseca glared at him, clearly annoyed.
She was already annoyed as it was and wanted to get out for some fresh air, but Tremaine kept following her, which annoyed her even more.
Yesseca raised her voice, "Tremaine, can you please stop following me? I said I wanted to take a walk by myself. Please stop following me!"
Yesseca's voice was loud and ear- piercingly sharp.
This made Tremaine frown.
He asked, "Yesseca, what's on your mind now?!"
This caused Yesseca to explode.
Yesseca was very agitated. "What's on my mind? I'm wondering the same thing. Taking me to meet with a princess and a president for dinner. The both of you really enjoyed your meal together, I could tell. But what was I to do? Did you bring me there to be some kind of clown?"
Tremaine was stunned at Yesseca's remarks.
A short while later, he said, "Silly goose, what are you even talking about?"
Yesseca looked at Tremaine and said, "Tremaine, look how good your suit is, how handsome you look!"
Tremaine was quiet.
Although he didn't know what Yesseca's point was, he noticed a trace of ridicule in her voice.
He replied, "Well I'm the president. Of course I have to pay attention to my image. Did you want me to wear a sack?"
