Chapter 1676
"Where are your parents?" Mr. Whitock asked.
Yesseca lowered her voice and said, "My parents have passed away, it's just me in that apartment,"
Peter's heart skipped a beat.
This girl is from a poor family and has lost both of her parents at such a young age.
He figured that her family might have been poor, but she was probably doing ok for herself.
After all, Yesseca looked like she was doing quite well.
"Where do you work?" Peter asked.
"At the business mall, I sell clothes. If you're ever in the market for a suit or some new clothes, you should visit us sometime," Yesseca said.
Peter's heart sank.
She's a saleswoman for a clothing store?
"Where did you graduate from?" Peter assumed she had probably gone to a rather ordinary university to have ended up selling clothes.
Yesseca replied, "I've never been to university Mr. Whitlock,"
Peter was speechless.
His heart was palpitating.
He had hoped that despite her family's poor background, she would be able to make up for it with her own personal effort. However, he didn't expect Yesseca to be just as poor. Even if she was a salesgirl, she didn't even get herself an education from a university.
He remembered that Kylin graduated from a first-class foreign university.
This...
Peter had a headache.
Why did Kylin find himself such a woman?
He and his cousin, Tobias, were just the same.
Peter suddenly found that there was very little he could discuss with Yesseca.
Kylin then returned with a cup of coffee.
Peter took the cup of coffee and said, "It's quite late. You should send her home,"
After Kylin and Yesseca left, Peter summoned Tobias.
He said with some dissatisfaction, "Your cousin doesn't seem very close with you. Why then does he have the same prefences as you?"
Tobias didn't understand.
Mr. Whitlock then spoke straightforwardly, "When it comes to women, I mean. She has no qualifications, a lowly job and no family. What the hell is that?"
Tobias then understood.
He laughed.
"How keen of you to have noticed that about Kyi in."
"This is what's called being insightful!" Peter then raised an eyebrow.
"What ordinary people often lack is vision. Most people would fall back onto the education their families provided them to define themselves, but often ignore the essence of their lessons. Kylin has vision." "So you're saying I don't have vision!" Peter spoke loudly.
"That's not what I mean, Grandfather," Tobias replied with a smile.
Peter sat quietly.
He seemed to recall that his grandson used to be quite serious and never cracked any jokes, but now that he was married to Natalie, he seemed to have become quite the comedian.
Peter waved his hand at Tobias. "Forget it. You youngsters don't care for family backgrounds or education when it comes to your partners. I'm already so old, I can't be bothered with any of this anymore." Yesseca asked Kyi in if Mr. Whitlock was dissatisfied with her.
She wasn't dumb.
She could tell that Mr.Whitlock wasn't very happy to talk to her after she answered his questions.
There was a faint smile in Kyi in's eyes. "Why do you think that? If the old man wasn't happy with you, he wouldn't want to see you again."
Yesseca insisted. "No, I don't think he's satisfied with me."
After a brief pause, Yesseca added, "Well, I don't blame him. I know I'm not the best choice,"
"Yesseca, that's not true," Kyi in
spoke seriously. "You are kind,
upright optimistic, and cheerful. You
have all of those amazing qualities
and more. I think you're the best choice for me."
"You really think so?"
"Of course."
"Alright then," Although Yesseca felt slightly better after listening to Kyi in, she couldn't help but sigh. "I don't think Mr. Whitlock agrees, though." "Are you my girlfriend or Mr.O Whitlock's girlfriend?"
Yesseca was speechless.
She burst out laughing. "Alright, stop kidding around."
Things became more relaxed after that. They continued laughing and talking the entire way back to her apartment.
After washing up, Yesseca prepared to go to bed.
Before she did, her eyes suddenly swept towards the corner of her wall. Something caught her breath.
That corner was where Tremaine had once installed a hidden camera.
As she thought about him, she felt something tug on her heart.
She felt a strong wave of bitterness emerging from it.
However, the feeling didn't last long.
Lately, Yesseca was spending less time thinking about Tremaine and she wasn't as depressed as she used to be.
Yesseca felt very lucky.
She thought that it was because she didn't love Tremaine deeply enough.
Luckily, she found out just what kind of man Tremaine really was while she was still in the early stages of falling in love with him. After she found out, she could quickly put a stop to it. Yesseca had always been a very optimistic person.
After thinking about it in this light, she felt much better about herself.
Although she fell for the wrong man, she quickly found out about him and buried her feelings for him deep in her heart.
"This is a good thing," Yesseca thought to herself.
Then, she closed her eyes.
She would eventually stop missing him in time and eventually forget about him completely.
As for what he said about dealing with her when he returned, Yesseca wasn't afraid about that at all.
If Tremaine came looking for her, she would expose him for all the obscene things he had done. He wouldn't dare to come looking for her again!
Just thinking about put Yesseca into a daze, and she fell asleep.
Yesseca had never imagined that she would be on a business trip.
In her opinion, going on business trips was of no use to her as she simply sold clothes in a shopping mall. However, it was her turn to do so.
That morning, she was called into a meeting with more than a dozen other young female employees.
It turned out that the director was going to set up another outlet in Agaphen City.
The department store was to be located in a high income area, and would be the largest men's clothing mall in Agaphen City.
Such a luxurious shopping mall required the work of many employees to run it.
The director had specially selected the most beautiful and youthful looking girls with the best sales performance in the men's clothing department in the mall. The director was going to send those girls for training.
Currently, there weren't that many shopping malls around the world which only sell men's branded clothing. The director decided to send these girls to Nashaland.
Nashaland had a similar shopping
mall that specialized in selling all kinds of luxury designer clothes for men. There were a total of six floors. Plenty of foreigners visited this shopping mall.
The director wanted these girls to experience and learn how they ran things in that mall.
Nashaland and Agaphen City weren't very far apart. In fact, they were quite close to each other.
The most important thing was that Nashaland and Agaphen City shared the same customs and language. They were just two different countries on paper.
A dozen employees were trained for two whole days in preparation for this business trip.
Yesseca was very excited about going to a foreign country.
Although Nashaland was very close to Agaphen City, it was also in another country, which was just as good as going abroad.
