Preslie felt like Sheldon's job was too tiring for one person. She wanted to help lessen his burden so that he would not have to work so hard.
That was why she could not leave Nashaland.
Seeing Preslie being so silent, Yesseca said with a smile, "Preslie, it seems like you really enjoy working at the President's Office. I can finally feel at ease knowing you want to stay. At first, I was afraid you didn't like your job and didn't want to tell me about it, but now it seems like it isn't a problem."
Preslie maintained her silence.
She really did like working in the President's Office.
However, she wouldn't abandon her best friend just forthat.
When Yesseca left, the only reason she did not follow her was because of Sheldon.
If it wasn't for Sheldon, she might have resigned.
Of course, she would not tell Yesseca about this.
She was too embarrassed.
All of her thoughts were buried in the bottom of her heart, never to be exposed. She could only conceal them without telling anyone, not even Yesseca, her own best friend.
Firstly, she didn't really understand what her feelings were towards Sheldon. Was it merely admiration, or was it something else?
Secondly, she felt a sense of inferiority.
She knew that she was born in an ordinary family with ordinary looks, and she was even a little chubby. She felt like she wasn't worthy of Sheldon at all. If it wasn't for Yesseca, she wouldn't even have had the opportunity to meet Sheldon in the first place.
As for Sheldon, he was once a prestigious colonel in Nashaland's army. He was tall, handsome, well-educated, and had a high social status. Men like him would only have interest towards woman with a relatively similar ranking. Preslie would never even have a chance.
She could only bury her feelings deep in her heart forever.
All in all, it was a great blessing for her to be Sheldon's friend. Giving him some juice every day was already enough for her.
Other than that, she wouldn't think about it, nor would she hold onto hope.
Preslie faked a laugh and said, "I like working in the President's Office. I really do."
Yesseca held Preslie's hands. "That's good. Then, we can stay together in Nashaland forever!"
As she spoke, a figure flashed across Yesseca's mind.
It was Qiana.
The smile on her lips froze suddenly .
However, Yesseca stopped thinking about Qiana immediately.
To her, Tremaine had made a choice between her and Qiana, and there was no need for her to overthink too much about it.
Although Qiana was Montez's biological mother, Tremaine and her were in love. She would also do her best to treat Montez well.
She would definitely take Montez as her own son.
