Although he was glad, he was not overjoyed.
Other than feeling happy, there were complex emotions lingering in his heart.
As for what this meant, even Montez himself could not explain it clearly.
To make a good chicken soup, the secret would of course to use chicken.
There was high quality meat in Quartley Palace imported from Japan. They were all kept in the freezer.
But frozen chicken didn't work well in order to cook a good pot of soup.
Fresh meat worked the best.
The only place to find fresh meat was at the market.
Yesseca knew that markets in Agaphen City sold freshly butchered meat but she didn't know if they sold it here in Nashaland.
Yesseca went on the Internet to check and was delighted to find that they did sell them here.
There was fresh chicken sold in a market in
Nashaland.
Yesseca made a call to Preslie.
It just so happened that Preslie was taking leave that day. She asked Preslie to accompany her.
Preslie agreed immediately.
Just as she was about to leave Quartley Palace, Yesseca once again met Qiana.
She told Qiana that she was going to the market to buy chicken.
"That's too troublesome. Quartley Palace already has frozen meat," Qiana immediately said.
Yesseca shook her head. "It's better to get them from the market. Fresher chicken is better."
Qiana said, "Why don't I go, Miss Cowell? You should rest in Quartley Palace. I'll go and buy it."
Yesseca rejected her offer.
She said, "You should stay and take care of Montez. I'll go to the market. It's nothing much."
Only then did Qiana agree.
When Yesseca left, a calculating gleam flashed through Qiana's eyes.
Initially, she thought Yesseca would use the ingredients found in Quartley Palace to cook but she didn't expect Yesseca to go to the market herself.
Her plan needed to be changed.
Qiana had originally planned to ask for Yuliana's help but she decided against it.
When it was time to make use of Yuliana, she would do it, but this was not the time.
If Yuliana was involved in the plan, she would know that Qiana was the one that had been harming Montez.
There were some things Yuliana could be privy to, but not the fact that Montez wasn't her biological son.
Yesseca asked the driver to drive her to where Preslie was staying.
Preslie had been waiting at the gate of her neighborhood.
It was only after getting on the car that Preslie found out that the "shopping trip" was actually a trip to buy chicken.
She was puzzled.
Preslie said, "Yesseca, I thought we were going to go shopping! Why would you want to go to the market to buy pork? I'm confused. A president's wife personally going down to the market personally to buy pork. People would laugh if they knew."
Yesseca was rendered speechless for a moment.
She said, "Don't tease me. Tremaine and I are not officially married yet. The last wedding was messed up and we have yet to hold a wedding, so I am not formally his wife yet. Besides, can't a president's wife buy pork?"
