Before Yesseca could finish her sentence, Preslie interrupted her, "Well, I thought so myself too, so don't blame yourself. It's late. I'm going to bed." After that, she went straight to the bedroom.
When she reached the bedroom, she lay on the bed and covered her face with a pillow.
Her face was burning.
It was because she was ashamed for her own wishful thinking.
After a long while, she removed the pillow from her face.
She took a deep breath.
Forget it!
It's all over!
She shouldn't dwell on it.
It didn't matter if she had her hopes up for once.
After all, who wouldn't have done the same in their lives?
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The next day would be the official opening of
Yesseca and Preslie's new store.
Therefore, Yesseca went to visit Selina to tell Selina about it.
Selina was stunned when she heard the news.
A while ago, she had made a trip to France because of some matters, but she had only been here for a few days. She even thought of going to visit Yesseca's store tomorrow. But who knew that the store was closed down and that they were having a new store?
"Weren't you guys doing just fine? Why would you close the store down and open a new one?" Selina asked.
Yesseca couldn't tell Selina the truth, of course.
She knew Selina would settle the scores with Preslie's parents for sure.
No matter how wrong Preslie's parents were, they were still her parents.
Yesseca was content as long as they never come stirring trouble again.
"Well, business has been booming, that's why we decided to open up a bigger store." Therefore, she had long prepared an excuse to tell Selina.
