My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Matthew chuckled.

His tone when he spoke carried a hint of certainty. "Don't worry, that won't happen."

At Matthew's calm expression, Preslie was utterly bemused.

She suddenly felt that some people, even though they were only one person, but still had the air of a mighty force that was worth thousands. This was someone that people would not dare to underestimate. After he had completed his work, Sheldon went to look for Preslie in her office, only to discover that she wasn't there.

Her supervisor, Merlin, told him that she hadn't returned at all.

When he heard that, Sheldon became anxious. He immediately called Preslie through the phone.

At this moment, Preslie had just gotten down from Matthew's car.

As Matthew was going to Nashaland to look for Tremaine, it was best that she got down first since she had no intention of going back.

After she saw it was Sheldon who called, she hesitated.

She wondered whether she should pick up.

At present, it was because Tremaine didn't want Yesseca and was going to marry Qiana that made her hate him, which carried over an indescribable feeling towards Sheldon.

She hesitated for too long and the phone stopped ringing.

Preslie didn't know what to feel.

She suddenly regretted that she didn't pick up the call.

After all, Sheldon was Sheldon, and Tremaine was Tremaine.

Sheldon was a good person still.

As she thought about this, the phone rang again.

Preslie hesitated for only a moment.

She answered the phone.

Sheldon's voice came through the speakers, "Where are you? Merlin said that you didn't return to the office at all, so where have you gone?"

"I'm back in Agaphen City," Preslie answered truthfully.

Sheldon was thunderstruck.

In such a short period of time, Preslie had actually returned to Agaphen City!

Sheldon immediately cried out, "Preslie, why did you go back there?!"

She let out a snort. "I'm not going to work in the presidential palace anymore, so of course I went back. Why should I continue to stay in Nashaland?" Sheldon didn't know what to say.

He was a simple man with simplistic thought processes. In an instant, he got turned around by Preslie's statement.

"What's wrong with you? Why won't you come to work in the presidential palace anymore? Weren't you happy to work there?"

"I was happy." Preslie assured, "But

now Tremaine and Yesseca have broken up, and with Tremaine not

wanting Yesseca anymore, I don't

wish to continue staying in Nashaland. I went there because of Yesseca in the first place, and now that she's left, what's the point of me remaining there?"

"Preslie, you're too headstrong!" Sheldon could not help but remark.

He had never heard of such logic.

"I'm not being headstrong," she corrected him. "This is friendship between us women. Ah, forget it Mr Hawls, you won't understand even if I tell you.

Nevertheless, I won't go back. I will never step foot back to Nashaland for the rest of my life!"

When he heard Preslie's vow to not return, Sheldon panicked and shouted in a moment of impulse, "If you don't come back here, then what should I do?" The moment those words were blurted out, both of them froze.

After a while, Sheldon immediately

added, "I mean, you usually cook for me in Nashaland. Now that you aren't here, there's no one to make meals for me to eat anymore."

Preslie couldn't see him on the other side of the phone.

If she could, she would know that Sheldon's face was red all over, his person so flushed he looked like a cooked lobster.

Preslie had no idea what to say.

Her tense heart suddenly relaxed.

It turned out to be like this.

She had thought that...

Preslie inwardly laughed self-deprecatingly.

She had thought too highly of herself.

There's no way that such a dignified senior couldn't function without her.

It was nothing more than the fact that she had been cooking dinner for him all this while. Now that she was about to leave, he suddenly couldn't get used to it!

"Mr. Hawls, you can have dinner

anywhere you want, it need not be

me who makes it. There's nothing you can't do without me." Prestie replied, "Anyway, the food I cooked is not that delicious."
