The reason why she knew that Yuliana would probably agree was due to the fact that she, Qiana, had weighed the pros and cons for her, as well as offered up her own dignity in order to compromise.
In the future, Yuliana would be able to trample on her at any time and place!
She had spent so much effort to climb to this position. How could she be willing to let such a thing happen?
She, Qiana, wanted to be a woman who was second to none to everyone around her. She would never allow any other woman to get the best of her.
Currently her need to please Yuliana was only a temporary measure.
In the future...
Qiana sneered in her heart.
Just wait and see!
This b*tch had such audacity that she'd dared to install a camera in Tremaine's bedroom. She had to make Yuliana pay the price with her own blood!
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Sheldon entered Tremaine's office under the excuse that he was there to deliver some data.
Tremaine had not returned to the Quartley Palace for the past three days.
He didn't know what happened, only that Tremaine's face grew darker and darker each and every day, his whole mental state a cause for worry.
Preslie had also been by for the last three days as well, all to see Tremaine.
But Tremaine had always refused.
The soldiers had barred her entry. It was impossible for Preslie to force her way in.
She had no choice but to ask Sheldon for help.
Sheldon also had a headache over this.
There was nothing he could do about it if Tremaine didn't want to see Preslie.
However, he'd promised that he would help her by talking to Tremaine, all to ease some of her anxiety.
After he put down the data sheets, Sheldon studied Tremaine.
He wasn't handling his work at all.
He was distracted.
His gaze was a little erratic.
It was rare to see this side of Tremaine.
It turned out that whenever something happened, such as a conflict between Tremaine and Yesseca, Tremaine would use the excuse of work to divert his mind.
But for the past three days, for all that he was in his office, he actually didn't use the time to work. At least every time Sheldon saw Tremaine, he wasn't working. Instead, he looked like he was floating in space.
"Mr. Tremaine." Sheldon called out to him in a low voice.
Tremaine did not respond.
Sheldon poured a cup of hot water and handed it to him. "Mr. Tremaine, have a cup of hot water."
Tremaine's eyes fell on the hot water in Sheldon's hand, and then looked up to Sheldon's face.
"Put it down," Tremaine said in a deep voice.
Sheldon put down the glass.
He then cautiously probed, "Mr. Tremaine, Preslie has requested to see you several times. From her appearance, it seems that she really has an urgent matter to talk to you about. Would you like to see
her?"
Tremaine frowned. "She wants to see me?"
Sheldon thought there was a chance for the meeting to happen, hence he immediately replied, "Yes, but every time she's been stopped by the soldiers."
Tremaine was a little annoyed. "If she makes a scene even once more just to see me, then let her leave the office."
Sheldon was left speechless
Just as he was about to speak up for Preslie, Tremaine suddenly thought of something and added, "Don't do this. I won't see her. Just let her do her job well."
He'd just remembered.
Back then, Preslie had only been able to start work in his office due to Yesseca's recommendation.
"Yes." Sheldon was also sensible and knew that he shouldn't ask any more questions. He turned around and was about to leave the office, but was once more stopped by Tremaine.
"Sheldon." Tremaine's voice sounded tired and bleak. "If you had intimate relations with a woman, how would you deal with it?"
Sheldon's face immediately turned red.
Have intimate relations with a woman...
He had never even slept with a woman.
But since the man had asked, he had to answer.
Sheldon wondered what would happen if he had a relationship with a woman.
And as always with this line of thought, someone needed to be the subject.
Sheldon automatically placed Preslie in his thoughts.
