Sheldon spoke in a very magnetic voice, "Here's the thing. Preslie is working in the President's Office. She's excellent at her work. Hence, the President's Office specially asked her parents to come to visit her as a reward."
Upon hearing this, all three members of the Fernandez family were shocked.
Each of them had their eyes and mouths open wide, as if they had heard something extraordinary.
An interminable time passed.
Calter came back to himself first.
He said with a trembling voice, "Sir, what did you say? Did you say that Preslie works in the President's Office?"
"Yes." Sheldon replied.
Calter felt dizzy.
His mouth trembled a little, but he couldn't say a word.
Amelia also came to her senses.
She looked a little excited. "How is it possible? How could Preslie work in the President's office? She is just a high school graduate who has never been admitted to college, and she is not even good-looking. How can a salesgirl, who worked in a shopping mall, work in the President's Office!"
Amelia couldn't believe that Preslie worked in the President's office of Nashaland.
Sheldon smiled faintly and said, "Preslie does work in the President's Office, and she is a very good employee. Thus, we specially invited her family to visit her today."
The members of the Fernandez family looked at each other in shock and disbelief.
Especially Amelia. In addition to disbelief, there was also jealousy in her eyes!
Five minutes later, the Fernandez family entered the President's Office.
This was the first time they had entered such a solemn, official looking place. Their legs turned into jelly. Even Amelia, who had boasted that she had seen much of the world, entered the President's Office with her heart beating very fast.
At the same time, she clenched her hands tightly, and the jealousy in her eyes burned even more strongly.
How was it possible that Preslie could work in such a great and upstanding office?
Why?
On what basis?
She was just a high school graduate and someone who used to sell clothes!
At this moment, Sheldon, who was leading the way, stopped.
He stopped in front of a door.
Sheldon said, "This is where Preslie works. You can have a look, but don't make any noise so as not to affect the rest of the people."
One by one, they all popped their heads in.
It was a large office that was decorated very magnificently. In the leftmost corner, they saw Preslie working.
Although they saw her back, they still recognized her.
At this moment, she was sitting in front of the computer with her fingers flying on the keyboard.
She was working very hard. Hence, she didn't know that at the door, her parents and her sister were looking at her with a dumbfounded expression.
"It's Preslie, oh my God, it is Preslie!" Celine stretched out her hand and pointed at Preslie, her fingers shaking.
Calter quickly pulled his wife's hand back.
He knew that this was not an ordinary place, and he was afraid that Celine would make a mistake.
Calter lowered his voice. "It's Preslie, yes, but please lower down your voice. The man just said that we can't speak too loudly."
Celine immediately covered her mouth.
She looked at her daughter's back, and her eyes flashed with a gleam.
