Yesseca was taken aback.
She looked at Selina, confused as to why she was asking her this.
Selina then took out another chip and fed it to Yesseca.
Yesseca ate it.
She then said, "Selina, you don't need to keep feeding me. You should have some too."
"Okay." Selina ate a chip, then said, "You didn't answer me."
Yesseca gulped. "I know who he really is. He is a very powerful man. He isn't a regular man."
He was the personal bodyguard to the president of Nashaland after all. How could he be ordinary?
"So she does know." Selina thought to herself.
Yesseca continued, "Why are you asking me this?"
Selina didn't want to upset Yesseca, so she said, "Just asking. There's nothing to do right now anyway, so I was just making conversation."
Yesseca watched as Selina ate the chips and felt that she would get thirsty soon. She said, "I'll go get us some water."
Selina nodded.
She had a lot to talk about with Yesseca, so she would need some water to moisten her throat.
The shop didn't have a water dispenser, so Yesseca had to walk out of the stop to get the water.
On her way back, she spotted someone else walking into the shop.
Peslie had come to chat with her as well.
Yesseca said apologetically, "Sorry, Preslie. Can we do this some other time? My sister's here to see me."
"Oh, you have a sister?" Preslie was shocked.
Yesseca was always alone, so she had no idea that she even had a sister.
Yesseca nodded. "Yes, she's here right now. She came to see me."
Preslie then said, "Alright, go and catch up with your sister. I'll head back to my store. I was just thinking of chatting with you because there aren't any customers around."
Yesseca filled up two glasses with water and returned to the store.
She handed one to Selina. "Here, have some water."
Selina accepted the glass and sipped on it. Yesseca was too obedient for words!
Kylin was lucky to be able to marry her!
She had to get Yesseca and Kylin married as soon as possible to avoid any more complications.
Selina cleared her throat and said, "Yesseca, since you know that Tremaine is the president of Nashaland, then I'll be frank with you. Tremaine..."
Before Selina could finish her sentence, Yesseca interrupted her.
Yesseca's eyes widened in shock. "Selina, what did you say?!"
"I said I'd be frank with you."
"The one before that."
"Tremaine is the president of Nashaland. Didn't you already know this?"
Yesseca was silent.
She was so surprised that she fell to the floor and landed on her butt.
Selina was speechless.
She did not expect Yesseca to react this way. She helped her up and said, "What's wrong, Yesseca? Didn't you already know about this?"
Yesseca's lips trembled.
She was different from girls like Selina who were born in rich and powerful families. She was just a commoner.
To her, someone like the president of a country was completely out of her league!
In olden times, he was akin to the King!
And if this were heaven, he would be God!
