Sheldon said it deliberately just to make sure that Yesseca would not say anything to Tremaine.
Yesseca went silent.
She gulped as she was appalled.
This was the first time she'd heard that someone loved to sweep the streets.
But since Sheldon had said so, what else could she say?
Yesseca stammered, "Then I, I won't call him."
Sheldon breathed a sigh of relief.
He said to Yesseca, "Are you and Preslie shopping here? You two can go on. I have to continue with my work."
After saying that, he looked at Preslie, and his eyes were flashing. He said, "Preslie, it's the weekend. Have a great time with Yesseca."
Various emotions surged in Preslie's heart.
She felt that Sheldon was really pitiful.
She was shopping with Yesseca on this hot day. Later, they could still go to the mall and enjoy the air conditioner there. They could even have ice cream together. But for Sheldon, he needed to clean the streets on a hot sunny day.
For one moment, Preslie didn't want to continue shopping.
She only wanted to stay with Sheldon and suffer with him.
But she could only keep those thoughts to herself.
Firstly, Yesseca was with her. It was impossible to leave her behind to accompany Sheldon.
Secondly, she could not tell Sheldon about it if she wanted to accompany him. She was only his friend. How would she have the guts to tell him?
Preslie had to keep it to herself.
She said sadly, "Mr. Hawls, we shall leave first then. You can carry on with your work."
"Alright."
Sheldon continued to clean up the streets after they left. As they were walking away, Yesseca turned her head several times, and saw that Sheldon was holding an electric vacuum cleaner to clean the street. However, this scene looked so strange.
After looking at him a couple of times, Yesseca thought, "Did Sheldon commit a huge mistake and get caught by Tremaine for Tremaine to punish him in this way?"
However, cleaning up the streets was not a big
deal if Sheldon had really made a serious mistake.
Yesseca supposed that her idea was right.
Otherwise, Sheldon would not have had to say that.
Yesseca put aside the idea of calling Tremaine.
After all, it was relating to political affairs.
It was also Tremaine's decision whether to punish his subordinate or not. As Tremaine's woman, she could not involve herself in it.
On the other hand, it was not only Yesseca whose mind was wandering. Something was stirring in Preslie's head as well.
At first, she had been very excited to go shopping with Yesseca, but now she was not in the mood anymore. In her mind, Sheldon was working really hard to clean up the streets.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt.
And the more her heart ached.
Yesseca also noticed that Preslie was really down. Out of nowhere, she saw a coffee shop in front of them. Yesseca remembered that Preslie loved to drink coffee.
She wanted to cheer Preslie up, so she held Preslie's hand and said, "Preslie, look, there is a coffee shop. Let's go and grab a drink."
Preslie looked at the shop.
It was a coffee shop!
It was best to get a cold drink during this hot day.
Preslie's eyes became bright.
A coffee shop!
