Right this moment, she appeared to have more sense than Tremaine had ever given her credit for.
Tremaine murmured, "You're right. Even commoners have the right to dream."
Preslie was surprised by this.
She never expected Tremaine to praise her for her excited spiel.
This gave her courage.
Preslie looked up at Tremaine and asked, "Mr. President, are you going to break up with Yesseca?"
She was worried that Tremaine would break up with Yesseca due to public pressure.
Tremaine took in his surroundings and said, "Didn't you just give them my answer?"
At that moment, Preslie's mind cleared up.
She understood him!
Preslie smiled. "Sir, thank you, thank you on behalf of Yesseca!"
Tremaine looked at Sheldon and said, "Arrange for the live broadcast. I intend to make a speech to talk to the people who oppose my being with
Yesseca. I want this to be broadcasted to all of Nashaland."
The protesters had now gathered at the gate of the presidential office.
There was a huge square at the entrance.
There was also a flag pole and a small podium for speeches.
There would be a flag raising ceremony held here every week which the president attended.
Tremaine was now standing behind the podium.
The moment he took his position at the podium, even without having to say a word, everyone in the crowd quietened down until there was complete silence.
It was as though the man on the podium was god himself about to speak.
Once Tremaine had taken the stage, the whole quiet went silent.
Qiana, who was in the crowd, stared at Tremaine, her eyes fixed on him.
The man on the stage looked young and handsome, but he also had a powerful aura about him which made people kneel and submit to his word.
He was an outstanding man.
Qiana's eyes began to glimmer.
If only this man was hers, how wonderful it would be!
Even if it were only in her dreams, she would wake up laughing happily.
Matthew and Selina rushed over to the gates of the presidential office.
Spotting Tremaine on the stage, Matthew immediately said to Selina, "Sweetie, Tremaine is about to make his speech. Let's wait and see."
Selina however, was very impatient.
