She said earnestly, "Oh, Yesseca. Listen to what I have to say. That man is very good-looking and looks very cultured. He is so handsome that even women at my age would fall in love with him. Still, he has a child with him. You said that the child doesn't have a mother. He must have gotten divorced."

Yesseca held her breath.

In fact, she had also suspected some time ago that Tremaine had divorced Montez's biological mother.

Cassie continued, "If you want to be with this man, you'll have to become a stepmother. Yesseca, it isn't easy being a stepmother, not to mention you're much too simple. On top of that, even though this man is divorced, what if his ex-wife were to return? You're bound to suffer should that happen. So you'd be much better off with that single man. That's the right choice to make."

After hearing all of that, Yesseca became confused once again.

She and Tremaine had nothing going on between them. There was no need for Cassie to have thought that far ahead about them.

"Cassie, it's not what you're thinking." Yesseca was compelled to explain.

Cassie replied seriously, "What? You think I wouldn't be able to understand? Yesseca, no matter how good this man is today, you'll have to break up with him eventually. It's not a good idea to be involved with a divorced man who has a child. What's more, it's not like you don't have another handsome, unmarried, young man who's interested in you."

Yesseca was quiet.

She was speechless. "Cassie, there's nothing going on between us. He came to me because he needed help with his child. He came to me because Montez likes me. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have glanced at me!"

Cassie didn't believe her.

Yesseca stomped her foot down. "Cassie, it's true. He mocks me all the time, calling me a flat pickled vegetable and calls me ugly. How could such a man have any interest in me? You're reading too much into this!"

"Really?" Cassie was doubtful.

"It's true." Yesseca repeated. "He has no feelings for me at all, but you made it sound like he's pursuing me. If he finds out about this, he'd laugh to death. When that time comes, I'll dig myself a hole and bury myself in it."

Seeing how determined Yesseca was, Cassie's heart started to race.

After a while, she said, "Yesseca, regardless, you ought to consider my advice. That young man from this morning is the better choice."

Time passed, and soon it was time to get off work.

Yesseca and Cassie were both on the day shift. When it was almost time, they would wait for the next person on shift to come in before leaving. Cassie's replacement had arrived much earlier today, so Cassie got to leave a little earlier.

So she went to change out of her uniform.

When she arrived at the entrance of the shopping mall, she spotted a familiar-looking sports car parked by the side.

Cassie recognized it from this morning.

She took a closer look and thought to herself, "Isn't this the car that brought Yesseca to work this morning?"
