Quintessa had a sinking feeling, but kept her composure, asking, "Is there something you need, Mr. Yates?"
Andrew's lips curved into a slight smile, his handsome face becoming even more striking. "Could you please call out your female assistant? I need to have a word with her."
Quintessa looked puzzled. "What female assistant?"
Seeing Quintessa play dumb, Andrew patiently explained, "The one... who knocked me over that day... your assistant!"
Quintessa feigned realization. "Oh... you mean the girl who mistook you for a woman? Well, at this late hour—oh, it's not exactly late, but she's definitely at her own home now. How am I supposed to call her for you?"
"Besides, she works for me, not you, Mr. Yates. Why should I call her for you? She's her own person. You can't just expect to see her whenever you feel like it, that's a bit presumptuous, don't you think?"
Andrew chuckled softly. "At home, you say? But I just saw her."
Quintessa thought, Damn! Molly's got bad luck.
"Really? That's strange. You saw her here? Are you sure you weren't mistaken? You look quite unwell, Mr. Yates. Maybe you're seeing things from staying up too late?"
Mrs. York was utterly confused; she thought Molly was indeed around. Why would Quintessa say otherwise?
But if Quintessa said she wasn't here, she must be right.
Mrs. York chimed in, "Yes, yes, Andrew, you really should take better care of yourself. Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. Maybe you did have a hallucination."
Andrew squinted. "I doubt I'm mistaken. I might misidentify a person, but I can't misidentify the shoe print on me..."
Quintessa and Mrs. York exchanged glances.
Quintessa spread her hands. "If you insist you saw her, then go find her yourself. We didn't see anything."
Mrs. York nodded. "Right, we didn't see anything."
No matter what you say, just stick to your story.
Molly wasn't foolish. At a time like this, she definitely wouldn't come out of the car.
