What else could she possibly need?
With such a good house and job, it was like she was in a dream!
What more could she ask for?
Preslie was very satisfied.
"Since there's nothing else you need, I'll take my leave now," said Sheldon to Preslie.
Preslie's breath paused for a moment.
She was very content with both the job and the accommodation.
The only thing that made her feel uncomfortable was Sheldon's attitude.
He treated her formally and curtly, as if he was meeting her for the first time.
However, this was not their first time meeting each other.
They had stood in the face of death together.
Preslie let out a bitter laugh.
She was someone who fell in love very easily.
In her heart, she felt like she had experienced a life and death situation with this handsome military officer, but he did not seem to think so.
Perhaps she had thought too deep into it.
Preslie said, "Thank you,"
Yesseca originally wanted to accompany Preslie, but the driver told her it was getting late and that he'd need to send her back to Quartley Palace soon.
Yesseca had to say goodbye to Preslie.
"I'll be heading off first. Let me know if you need anything," said Yesseca.
"Everything will be fine," replied Preslie. "Yesseca, everything is great, thank you so much."
"There's nothing to thank me for."
After chatting for a while more, Yesseca left with the driver. Preslie stood in her huge house, walking around and touching items here and there.
She put her hand on her chest.
Her heart was pounding.
Her eyes were wide open.
Goodness, everything was incredible.
Not too long ago, she left home and had no job. She was pathetic, living like a homeless person.
Now, she had such a beautiful house to live in and such a high-ranking job.
Good heavens, she felt like she was dreaming.
Preslie lay on the sofa.
The sofa was so soft that she sunk into it.
Preslie fell into a trance, until she was brought back to her senses by the sound of her phone ringing.
Someone was calling her.
It was her mother.
Preslie held her phone in her hands.
It was the first time her family had called since she left.
She hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.
"Mom," Her voice was very weak.
"Preslie, where the h*ll have you been? When are you coming home?" Celine shouted.
