My Heart only Beats for You

Yesseca wanted to return to Agaphen City.

But right then, it seemed too late to travel.

After thinking it over, Yesseca decided to spend the night in Nashaland.

She thought staying at a hotel but then realized that she was penniless.

Although Yesseca didn't want to disturb Preslie, she had no choice but to call her.

The call was connected not long after.

Yesseca sounded a little embarrassed. "Preslie, I'm sorry to disturb you so late, but | might have to stay at your

place for one night. | wanted to stay at a hotel initially, but | don't have any money..." Preslie's heart dropped to

her stomach.

Preslie had told Yesseca about Tremaine cheating on her just earlier on, and Yesseca was already asking to stay

at hers that night. Preslie wondered if Yesseca and Tremaine had fallen out with each other. It was her duty to

help her best friend if she was in trouble.

Preslie asked, "Yesseca, where are you? I'll cand pick you up now."

Yesseca shook her head. "No, wait forat hand prepare smoney. I'll hail a taxi after this, but you'll

have to pay the driver for me."

Preslie, after thinking about it, realized that that way was better. It minimized delay. Thus, Preslie agreed

immediately.

In the bedroom, Tremaine ripped the tie around his neck off and flung it onto the ground.

He was in a terrible mood!

That heartless and stupid woman!

Tremaine had an urge to smash everything in the room.

Suddenly, his gaze focused.

Through the floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom, he looked at the dark night outside.

Would she be okay being out at night?

Soon after, Tremaine scoffed without abandon.

What could even happen to her?

Would anyone rob her?

She looked like a poor bum!

Sexual assault?

What a joke. Besides Tremaine, no one would desire her!

Although he was trying to comfort himself, Tremaine's heart could not help constricting.

He ended up calling his subordinates and ordering them to follow Yesseca.

He received a call not long after.

Yesseca had taken a taxi to the house of a girl named Preslie Fernandez.

Tremaine certainly knew who Preslie Fernandez was.

Yesseca's good friend.

Yesseca's IQ was substantially higher compared to hers.

Tremaine sneered.

Birds of a feather really did flock together.

Tremaine knew that Yesseca must have gone to her place to spend the night.

He could have been at ease, with that.

However, he was still full of worry, so much that he could barely breathe.

Yesseca arrived at Preslie's home.

She told Preslie about her falling out with Tremaine, and her plan to return to Agaphen City.

Preslie pondered over it thoroughly.

"Well, that's that. Breaking up with him was for the best," said Preslie.

Surprise flashed in Yesseca's eyes.

"Preslie, | thought you would persuadenot to break up with Tremaine."

"You're kidding me!" Preslie exclaimed, at righteous and proper. "Do | look like a lunatic? Tremaine was cheating

on you with another women. Breaking up was the right choice. We don't tolerate cheaters!"

Yesseca sniffled.

She had felt rather down at first, but Preslie's words reassured her to no end.

Yesseca looked at Preslie. "Since I've left him, I'm not going to stay in Nashaland anymore, Preslie. I'm leaving.

Please take good care of yourself. I'll cto visit you often." Preslie gritted her teeth. "I'm going with you."

Yesseca's eyes widened. "But don't you like this job?"

Preslie was a little reluctant about leaving. "Yeah, | like it very much, but you gotthe job from Tremaine in the

first place. Since Tremaine was cheating on you, | have to have your back can't betray my friend just for a job!"

Yesseca was dumbfounded.

After they discussed it for a long while, they finally reached a decision. Preslie was going to leave with Yesseca;

she was going to resign tomorrow from the Presidential Palace. Later at night, the two of them shared a bed.

Before closing her eyes, Yesseca muttered, "Preslie, | don't know why, but I'm still sad. It's a sadness | can't

describe. | don't know why I feel like this."

Yesseca may have been clueless, but Preslie understood it as clear as day.

How would she not be upset when she was being cheated on!

However, she couldn't say it so harshly to Yesseca. If she did, Yesseca's sadness would only intensify.

Instead, Preslie took Yesseca's hand. "Let's cheer up, Yesseca. You still have me. Us friends, we'll go through

everything together in the future!" Yesseca felt the warmth surrounding her hand.

She nodded. "I'm looking forward to it. Thank you for comfortingwhen I'm upset."

For two whole hours, Tremaine had only done one thing.

That was pacing back and forth in Quartley

Palace.

From the first floor to the top floor, then from the top floor back to the first floor.

His unusual behavior scared the servants, who hurriedly informed Madam Quartley about it.

Madam Quartley, who was already sleeping, got up from her bed.

When she arrived at the main hall, she saw Tremaine pacing restlessly.

Madam Quartley hurriedly stopped Tremaine.

"Tremaine, stop walking back and forth here. I'm getting dizzy," said Madam Quartley.

Tremaine was at a loss for words.

In a low voice, he said, "You don't have to look at me, Grandma. Why aren't you sleeping? It's already so late."

Madam Quartley took a long look at Tremaine and said, "Why? Because I'm worried about my grandson!"

"Grandma, go rest." Tremaine was

about to order the servants to bring

Madam Quartley back to her bedroom, but Madam Quarley stopped him. While peering at Tremaine, she said,

"Tremaine,4 know that you're upset because the entire palace is against you recently. But you have to think

about why that's the case. Yesseca is not a good match

for you. Do you understand, Tremaine?"

Tremaine caught his breath all of a sudden.

Then, he raised his voice. "I get it now!"

After that, Tremaine went downstairs and hurried out of Quartley Palace.

Madam Quartley was confused.

Where was Tremaine going at that hour?

What had he understood?

Tremaine got a guard to take him to Preslie's place.

He had been annoyed because he wanted to bring Yesseca back to the palace, but he thought that it was

disgraceful for him to do so.

Tremaine wasn't just anyone. He was the president of a country!

How could he humble himself in front of that measly Yesseca!

Even though Yesseca had said horrible things to him, he still wanted to run to pick Yesseca up!

However, Tremaine had been suddenly enlightened by what he heard from Madam Quartley. He'd found a reason «

to go fetch Yesseca.
