Yesseca wanted to return to Agaphen City.
But right then, it seemed too late to travel.
After thinking it over, Yesseca decided to spend the night in Nashaland.
She thought staying at a hotel but then realized that she was penniless.
Although Yesseca didn't want to disturb Preslie, she had no choice but to call her.
The call was connected not long after.
Yesseca sounded a little embarrassed. "Preslie, I'm sorry to disturb you so late, but I might have to stay at your place for one night. I wanted to stay at a hotel initially, but I don't have any money..."
Preslie's heart dropped to her stomach.
Preslie had told Yesseca about Tremaine cheating on her just earlier on, and Yesseca was already asking to stay at hers that night. Preslie wondered if Yesseca and Tremaine had fallen out with each other.
It was her duty to help her best friend if she was in trouble.
Preslie asked, "Yesseca, where are you? I'll come and pick you up now."
Yesseca shook her head. "No, wait for me at home and prepare some money. I'll hail a taxi after this, but you'll have to pay the driver for me."
Preslie, after thinking about it, realized that that way was better. It minimized delay. Thus, Preslie agreed immediately.
In the bedroom, Tremaine ripped the tie around his neck off and flung it onto the ground.
He was in a terrible mood!
That heartless and stupid woman!
Tremaine had an urge to smash everything in the room.
Suddenly, his gaze focused.
Through the floor- to- ceiling window in the bedroom, he looked at the dark night outside.
Would she be okay being out at night?
Soon after, Tremaine scoffed without abandon.
What could even happen to her?
Would anyone rob her?
She looked like a poor bum!
Sexual assault?
What a joke. Besides Tremaine, no one would desire her!
Although he was trying to comfort himself, Tremaine's heart could not help constricting.
He ended up calling his subordinates and ordering them to follow Yesseca.
He received a call not long after.
Yesseca had taken a taxi to the house of a girl named Preslie Fernandez.
Tremaine certainly knew who Preslie Fernandez was.
Yesseca's good friend.
Yesseca's IQ was substantially higher compared to hers.
Tremaine sneered.
Birds of a feather really did flock together.
Tremaine knew that Yesseca must have gone to her place to spend the night.
He could have been at ease, with that.
However, he was still full of worry, so much that he could barely breathe.
Yesseca arrived at Preslie's home.
She told Preslie about her falling out with Tremaine, and her plan to return to Agaphen City.
Preslie pondered over it thoroughly.
"Well, that's that. Breaking up with him was for the best," said Preslie.
Surprise flashed in Yesseca's eyes.
"Preslie, I thought you would persuade me not to break up with Tremaine."
When she arrived at the main hall, she saw Tremaine pacing restlessly.
Madam Quartley hurriedly stopped Tremaine.
"Tremaine, stop walking back and forth here. I'm getting dizzy," said Madam Quartley.
Tremaine was at a loss for words.
In a low voice, he said, "You don't have to look at me, Grandma. Why aren't you sleeping? It's already so late."
Madam Quartley took a long look at Tremaine and said, "Why? Because I'm worried about my grandson!"
"Grandma, go rest." Tremaine was about to order the servants to bring Madam Quartley back to her bedroom, but Madam Quarley stopped him. While peering at Tremaine, she said, "Tremaine, I know that you're upset because the entire palace is against you recently. But you have to think about why that's the case. Yesseca is not a good match
for you. Do you understand, Tremaine?"
Tremaine caught his breath all of a sudden.
Then, he raised his voice. "I get it now!"
After that, Tremaine went downstairs and hurried out of Quartley Palace.
Madam Quartley was confused.
Where was Tremaine going at that hour?
What had he understood?
Tremaine got a guard to take him to Preslie's place.
He had been annoyed because he wanted to bring Yesseca back to the palace, but he thought that it was disgraceful for him to do so.
Tremaine wasn't just anyone. He was the president of a country!
How could he humble himself in front of that measly Yesseca!
Even though Yesseca had said horrible things to him, he still wanted to run to pick Yesseca up!
However, Tremaine had been suddenly enlightened by what he heard from Madam Quartley.
He'd found a reason to go fetch Yesseca.
