Before Preslie had arrived, Yesseca's mind had been in total darkness, and it was fuzzy.
"It's not your fault." Yesseca's voice was very soft. "I fell on my own accord. It has nothing to do with you."
It was because she had been absent-minded.
Preslie took a look at her hand, asking, "Are you sure? For a minute, I thought I was so fat that I had accidentally used too much force without realizing it."
Yesseca was rendered speechless.
She would have been amused by Preslie's words before, but she couldn't bring herself to laugh now.
"Yesseca, why didn't you pick up your calls? Why didn't you go to work? That's why I came to look for you," Preslie asked.
Yesseca did not reply.
After a while, she said, "I'm not going to work. Could you ask for a day off for me? I'm tired, and I need some rest."
Preslie looked at Yesseca's face. She had to agree that she did not look too well.
"I'll take you in and accompany you for a bit. I already asked for the morning off, so I can be with you," Preslie said.
Yesseca nodded.
Later on, the two arrived at Yesseca's house.
When they were inside, Yesseca sat on the sofa and said nothing. Preslie kept talking to her, but she did not respond. Preslie lost interest, and so she stopped talking.
She walked up to Yesseca and stared at her face. "I think you must have something on your mind. Otherwise, why wouldn't you say anything?"
Yesseca shook her head.
"Don't lie to me. I can see it from your face," Preslie said, "But I know you won't say it. Well, it's fine if you don't feel like sharing. I'll be here with you. I'll leave in a bit. I have to go back to work at half-past one."
Yesseca nodded.
After a long sigh, Prelie sat back on the sofa.
She was wondering why Yesseca was so sad.
Had Yesseca gotten shot down like herself?
Preslie thought that it was impossible.
Yesseca had such a handsome and rich boyfriend. How could she suffer such a blow?
Unlike Yesseca, she did not have a boyfriend, let alone a rich and handsome one. She had finally met someone she was interested in, but he'd shot her down already.
Sigh!
Life was so hard!
Matthew received the news that Yesseca had already returned home.
He immediately asked Kylin to drive back to Yesseca's neighborhood.
After arriving at Yesseca's home, Matthew knocked on the door.
Preslie was the one who opened the door.
Although it was her home, Yesseca did not seem to hear the knocking on her door. She did not move at all, so Preslie took the initiative to open the door for her.
The moment she opened the door, she was shocked.
The man in front of her was so good looking.
How could he be so good-looking?
Preslie swallowed her saliva and suppressed this thought.
She did not want to feel that way as she already had someone on her mind.
Although Sheldon did turn her down so blatantly, she could not care less.
To her, Sheldon was perfect.
No other man was as handsome as him.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" Preslie asked.
Matthew looked around, thinking he had come to the wrong apartment.
He glanced at the number at the door and said, "Is Yesseca here?"
Preslie immediately shouted, "Yesseca, someone is looking for you."
Yesseca did not respond.
At that moment, Kylin also came up.
