Yesseca's heart began to feel uneasy and her heart began palpitating.
At Nashaland's President's office.
Sheldon stood right in front of Tremaine who was currently looking cold and unhappy.
Tremaine looked at Sheldon with sharp eyes.
Sheldon lowered his head, not meeting Tremaine's eyes.
After a minute of silence, Tremaine opened his mouth.
He said in a cold voice, "The people who attacked me, as well as the people who leaked the mushroom cloud project developed by Nashaland are the same people! Sheldon, how did you even carry out your investigation? I ordered you to investigate the people who attacked me on the train. I suspected that there was a mole but you returned without any news about the mole. Now things have turned out like this, what have you exactly been doing?"
Sheldon hung his head even lower.
His lips were tightly pursed, not saying a word.
Tremaine became even angrier.
He picked up the cup on the desk and threw it at Sheldon.
Clang!
The cup almost hit Sheldon's body and shattered on the ground. In an instant, the cup was broken into pieces.
Tremaine didn't hit Sheldon, and it showed that he still had an ounce of respect left for him.
A trace of guilt flashed across Sheldon's eyes.
Tremaine stood up.
He walked to Sheldon's side, his eyes deep and cold, "Sheldon, you're my most trusted and capable subordinate. I never once suspected your loyalty, your capability. I'll give you a month's time. You have a month to find out and disclose the identity of my attackers and the people who leaked the mushroom cloud project to me."
"Yes, sir," Sheldon responded.
His voice sounded a little unintelligible.
Tremaine coldly looked at Sheldon and left.
The driver drove Tremaine back to Quartley Palace.
Tremaine asked the driver to stop the car halfway.
He opened the door and got out.
It was dark outside and the wind blew heavily.
Tremaine felt undeniably agitated.
An unspeakable irritation.
From the train attack, he knew that there had to be a mole, and it was possible that it was the same person who leaked the mushroom cloud project.
Tremaine was shocked when it had happened.
He had asked to Sheldon investigate it but Sheldon couldn't find anything.
Logically speaking, this was impossible.
He knew Sheldon, and he had especially gone to investigate about the matter. It was weird because with Sheldon's capability, the mole should have been found long ago...
A possibility came to his mind.
However, Tremaine soon shut down this possibility.
He couldn't believe it.
He couldn't believe that Sheldon would betray him.
Anyone could betray him, but it was impossible for Sheldon to do so.
He was his most loyal soldier.
Tremaine thought of a reason to justify Sheldon's performance.
There must have been a slip up.
No matter how capable or detailed Sheldon and his investigation was, there would be bound to a mistake sooner or later.
Tremaine wasn't back home by midnight.
Yesseca had a feeling Tremaine probably wouldn't be back.
She figured that the phone call he received must have been some emergency or a dire issue that he needed to settle as the president.
Yesseca let out a huge sigh of relief.
She was nervous thinking about the possibility of spending a night in bed with Tremaine.
