My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1897

Yesseca said, "Okay, Preslie, thanks. I have to hang up now."

She had to call Tremaine and tell him to return everything.

This was way too expensive!

After Yesseca hung up the phone, Preslie sat down on the sofa and sighed. Yesseca was so blessed!

Someone had even prepared a custom name tag in the cloakroom for her.

It looked like something straight out of a movie.

Yesseca was very blessed.

Although Yesseca was the lucky one, Preslie smiled.

She was happy for her friend.

Just then the door swung open.

Preslie was so distracted thinking about Yesseca that she hadn't noticed the door opening.

Sheldon had just come homee.

He'd heard that Preslie hadn't gone to work that day.

Merlin had run into him and told him the news.

She told him that Preslie wasn't feeling well today, so she let her go home early.

Then Merlin began to praise Preslie's

performance.

When Preslie first started working, she had performed way below Merlin's expectations. Preslie got the job through her connections and couldn't even perform the most basic of tasks. Merlin had had very low expectations of her and didn't think she would last very long.

However, after spending some time together, Merlin began to see that Preslie was actually very capable.

Although she didn't understand a lot of the details, she was very hardworking. She would often rush to do the jobs that others disliked and would also stay back late to complete her work.

This greatly changed her impression of Preslie.

Just like today. Preslie had looked pale and had horrible stomach cramps, but kept quiet about it and wanted to continue working by holding in the pain. Merlin had found her gripping her stomach in pain.

Merlin told her to go home and rest. But Preslie still insisted on staying to work. In the end, Merlin had to force her to go home.

When Preslie first started working at the President's Mansion, Merlin had once criticized her in front of Sheldon. Now things have changed, she was happily praising her in front of Sheldon.

Sheldon didn't hear any of the praises Merlin was giving about Preslie. He only heard one thing, that Preslie wasn't feeling well today.

He then asked, "Did she look very uncomfortable today? Is there something wrong with her body?"

Merlin replied, "It doesn't look serious. She must have eaten something that disagreed with her. She was in quite a lot of pain though. I wouldn't have asked her to go home if she wasn't."

Sheldon began to feel uneasy when he heard Merlin say that.

He knew that Merlin was very serious when it came to work. She must be very ill for Merlin to have told her to go home and rest.

He then quickly left and looked everywhere for her. He checked everywhere but didn't see her anywhere.

Sheldon was very absent-minded with his work for the rest of the day.

He knew that he would see Preslie after work when he got home, by which time he would know if she was ok. But his mind kept going to her. He wanted to see her right away.

When it was lunch time, Sheldon decided he would stop thinking about it and just go home to see her.

When he arrived home, he thought he would see Preslie lying down on the bed with a pained expression on her face. Instead he found her sitting on the sofa in the living room, smiling.

Sheldon looked at her quietly.

This was very different from the image Merlin had painted for him.

Preslie was smiling foolishly. She didn't know that Sheldon had walked in.

Sheldon then walked over to her.

He called out to her, "Preslie."
