She could not hide the joy in her voice.
She had even opened a bakery shop with Yesseca.
Sheldon glanced at Tremaine subconsciously.
Since Yesseca left, Tremaine had been depressed. There was not a single day where he appeared happy.
Yesseca was like that as well initially. Or else Preslie wouldn't mention that Yesseca had been admitted to the hospital due to her mental disorder.
But now, Yesseca has opened a bakery.
It seemed that she was living well.
When Sheldon looked at Tremaine, Tremaine whispered something to Sheldon.
Sheldon understood what he meant.
He immediately asked, "Preslie, where are you and Yesseca now?"
"We're having supper. We're planning to have a drink and eat some lobster to celebrate."
Sheldon said nothing.
It seemed that their days were going well.
Sheldon glanced at Tremaine again.
Tremaine was silent.
Sheldon said hurriedly, "Alright then, I have some things that I need to attend to."
"Bye bye."
He hung up the phone.
Sheldon was afraid that if he continued speaking to Preslie, Preslie might say something that could anger Tremaine.
"Mr. Tremaine, you said you wanted me to nominate someone for the Cabinet," Sheldon tried to change the topic. But he was immediately interrupted by Tremaine, "Go to Agaphen City."
Yesseca returned to the dining table.
At this moment, the beer and lobster had been served.
Yesseca smiled as she looked at Preslie and said, "Selina just told me that during the opening ceremony of our bakery shop tomorrow, Jake will be coming over to officiate the event."
Preslie widened her eyes. "Jake? He's a popular singer!"
Yesseca nodded. "Yes."
"Wow!" Preslie exclaimed excitedly. "Your sister is really quite amazing to be able to invite him! We are just a tiny bakery. At my old workplace, the bosses wanted to invite Jake to some event but he didn't even bother attending. He thought that it was too small of an event. I can't believe that he will come here for us!"
Yesseca's smile deepened. "I feel that there is no need to invite such a big star to our small shop. However, Selina said that it would be good for advertising our shop. She's really putting in a lot of effort for us."
Preslie replied, "You are lucky to have such a generous sister who is willing to put in effort for you. Yesseca, I think our business will surely be good in the future. We might even be able to open a franchise!"
Although Yesseca knew that it was very far into the future and not very possible, Yesseca still opened a bottle of beer. She poured two glasses and said, "Cheers! To the bright future ahead of us!"
Preslie raised her glass and said, "Cheers!"
Just as the two of them raised their glasses to celebrate, there were a few men at the next table who were staring at them.
"Those two girls are quite good-looking."
"One of them looks kind of silly. I wonder if she's silly in bed too," he said with an obscene smile.
"What about going over and hitting on them?"
"What's the point of hitting on them? Let's just make it to bed."
"Should I drug their drink?"
An hour and a half later, Yesseca and Preslie had yet to leave.
They had almost finished their lobster. They wanted to leave, but they felt giddy as they were drunk. They thought that they had drunk too much and wanted to wait till they felt better before leaving.
At this time, a black Bentley stopped far away...
In the car, two pairs of eyes were looking at Yesseca and Preslie.
They were too far away to see clearly. They could only see the two of them sitting at the table and there were a few empty bottles of beer and a large number of lobster shells.
Sheldon muttered in his heart, "The two of them are really drinking beer and eating lobster."
