Preslie replied, "Dory, Madam Cowell has already gone home. Why are you here so late? Is there something wrong? I can pass your message to Madam Cowell when I'm home."
After a moment of hesitation, Dory said, "Madam Fernandez, I want to speak to Madam Cowell personally."
It wasn't that Dory didn't trust Preslie.
But this was a big deal for her.
She had to tell Yesseca in person.
"Then you'll have to wait till the next day." Preslie looked at the time. It was already very late. "I'll have Yesseca come find you the next day."
Dory shook her head and whispered, "Madam Fernandez, I want to see Madam Cowell this day."
Dory was a docile child.
She had always been obedient.
But at this moment, she was very stubborn.
Unexpectedly stubborn.
Preslie noticed this as well.
Although she didn't know Dory well, she knew that she was a somewhat cowardly child.
In the past, if she said so, she would definitely turn around and leave. She would wait for Yesseca to come looking for her the next day.
However, she still insisted on meeting Yesseca this night...
Preslie's heart skipped a beat.
She thought that there might be something wrong with Dory.
When Preslie thought of this, she didn't waste any time. She said to Dory, "I'll take you to look for Yesseca right away."
In the bedroom, Yesseca had already fallen asleep.
Last night, she had been working on a new product until midnight. This day, she was busy in the store again during the day, so she was particularly tired.
Today, she came back early to sleep.
Preslie unceremoniously woke Yesseca up.
When Yesseca was woken up, she still had a drowsy expression on her face.
