Once the call was disconnected, a myriad of feelings coursed through Tremaine.
He suddenly felt the need to return to the presidential office as soon as possible.
Half an hour later, Tremaine arrived at his destination.
News of his arrival, of course, had immediately reached Rorita's ears.
This was the second time that Tremaine had deviated from the norm and returned this early.
This time however, Tremaine did not seek Rorita out the minute he arrived. Instead, he went to the bedroom and headed straight in.
Inside was a portrait of him and Yesseca on the wall.
A smile reached Tremaine's eyes as he focused all his attention on Yesseca's figure in the picture.
"Yesseca, this is your wish, isn't it?" he whispered. "You wanted to open a world famous patisserie store. Since that is your wish." He paused for a moment. "Then, I'll help you fulfill it."
A long while later, Tremaine finally stepped out of the bedroom only to bump into Rorita.
"Mr. Tremaine," Rorita greeted softly.
Tremaine inclined his head a little towards her.
"Mr. Tremaine, I've ordered the kitchens to prepare some food since I heard you were back. Let's have dinner together."
Tremaine did not refuse.
He proceeded to follow her into the dining room.
The dishes were already on the table and all of them were Tremaine's favorites.
Tremaine glanced at Rorita in surprise.
Rorita gave him a gentle smile. "I asked Madam Quartley as to your preferences."
