Yesseca had heard that Nashaland was a very self-contained nation.
It didn't cover much territory, but it was a very rich nation. The people lived and worked in peace and were content.
During her two days of training, Yesseca got to know a girl named Preslie.
Preslie was a slightly roundish girl who was very enthusiastic and had a cheerful personality. Although they both worked in the same mall, Yesseca was stationed on the third floor while Preslie was on the fourth floor. They didn't know each other before this.
They got along very well and soon became fast friends during their two days of training.
Today was Yesseca's last day in Agaphen City.
Tomorrow, she would be travelling to Nashaland on a boat.
Before she left, she had to pay a visit to the Perry family.
Kyi in and Selina knew about her upcoming business trip.
Kyi in agreed with her decision to go.
While Kylin had no issue with her trip, Selina was worried about her.
She remembered something that Matthew had once told her about Tremaine.
"Are you sure you want to go?" Selina asked Yesseca again.
She nodded.
Yesseca was very excited and happy about the trip. "Of course I want to go. Selina, this will be my first time visiting another country. I heard that they have lots of delicious food in Nashaland. I'll get to go and try them with my friends."
Selina could see how happy and excited Yesseca was.
She didn't want to put a damper on Yesseca's excitement.
After checking to see that no one else was around them, Selina pulled Yesseca close and whispered, "Yesseca, I want to ask you something,"
"Sure, go ahead, Selina."
Still whispering, she asked, "Yesseca, you haven't contacted Tremaine, have you?"
Yesseca held her breath at the very mention of Tremaine's name.
After a short while, she shook her head. "I've cut all contact with him."
"You really haven't spoken to him at all?" Selina was still unsure.
"No," Yesseca said with certainty, "I haven't seen Tremaine in a very long time, and I have no business with him anymore,"
Yesseca felt guilty as she said this.
On the night when she was on her period, she felt some romantic feelings between Tremaine and her. However, on the very next day, she found out what kind of person he really was, and her feelings for him disappeared.
Regardless, nothing happened between her and Tremaine.
"Don't worry Selina. I'm with Kyi in now, I won't be involved with any other person." Yesseca added.
It seemed like she wasn't just talking to Selina, but to herself as well.
Selina felt the same way.
Yesseca wasn't the type to lead a double life, so she felt reassured at her statement.
"Do you really want to go to Nashaland?"
"Selina, I don't really want to go, but I've already decided to,"
"Then I'll send a bodyguard to protect you," Selina added.
She didn't expect Yesseca to protest so strongly against it.
Yesseca spoke seriously, "Selina, I'm only going to Nashaland for a business trip. I will be there with several other employees. I'll be with a large group of people, so there's nothing to worry about. If I had a bodyguard following me around, it would be very awkward for me,"
"I will order my bodyguards to protect you in secret. They won't disturb you."
Yesseca didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'd still be followed around. Selina, I really hate feeling like I'm being followed. Please don't send anyone."
