Sheldon breathed out a huge sigh of relief.
Thank goodness Tremaine was attracted to women.
Everyone had desires. If a man wasn't interested in women, then that meant they were interested in men. If Tremaine wasn't interested in women, then he must be interested in men and that would put him in danger!
Tremaine felt that something was wrong.
Why was he discussing such things with Sheldon?
Tremaine then said coldly. "Sheldon, why am I even telling you all of this?!"
Sheldon was quiet.
He was rendered speechless.
Well, Tremaine was the one who called him in and asked him about women in the first place. Next thing they knew, they were talking about this!
"Get out," Tremaine ordered.
"Yes, Mr. President!" Sheldon saluted briskly and turned around to leave the room.
But then Tremaine stopped him.
Tremaine then asked him about the spy. "Have you found the spy yet?"
Sheldon hung his head. "Not yet, sir."
After a brief pause, Sheldon continued, "Sir, why don't we put a stop to this investigation? It's been a very long time since we've begun the search. There might not have been a spy all along."
Tremaine sneered.
He stressed every word, "Keep searching."
Sheldon's eyes flashed with a strange light.
He responded, "Yes, Mr. President."
Five days passed in a blink of an eye.
Several things happened during those five days.
The first was that Kyi in had gone to the United States.
A relative from his mother's family was getting married. Kylin had flown over to attend the wedding.
During those five days, Yesseca received a delivery every single day.
They were large bouquets of roses.
They were delivered promptly to her workplace every time, each bouquet was prepared with delicate red roses and sprinkled with sprakly dewdrops.
Yesseca had no idea who was sending them to
her.
But if she had to guess, it would be...
Kylin.
Aside from Kylin, no one else would send her roses.
Yesseca also visited the Perry family homd several times in those five days.
The dust had settled between her and Selina and their relationship had gone back to normal.
After clearing things up, there weren't any more misunderstandings between them.
However, there was still something that Selina hadn't told Yesseca yet.
That Lothar and Reid only knew each other because Reid had bribed Lothar.
She hoped to preserve Yesseca's impression of Lothar as her perfect brother.
Selina and Yesseca went to visit Lothar's grave.
Yesseca looked at Lothar's picture on the gravestone and said, "Brother, I know everything that's happened now. I understand why you did those things. From now on, I will treat Selina as though she's a part of our family. I no longer have any doubts or worries."
After Yesseca was done talking, Selina said, "Lothar, I'll make a promise to you. Regardless of things in the past, present, or future, Yesseca is my sister. When you left, I promised you that I would take care of her. Now I will continue that promise I made to you. So long as I am alive, I will take care of Yesseca in your stead."
There was a silence.
After she said that, Selina and Yesseca looked at each other and smiled.
