My Heart only Beats for You

Yesseca said, "Okay, Preslie, thanks. I have to hang up now."

She had to call Tremaine and tell him to return everything.

This was way too expensive!

After Yesseca hung up the phone, Preslie sat down on the sofa and sighed. Yesseca was so blessed!

Someone had even prepared a custom name tag in the cloakroom for her.

It looked like something straight out of a movie.

Yesseca was very blessed.

Although Yesseca was the lucky one, Preslie smiled.

She was happy for her friend.

Just then the door swung open.

Preslie was so distracted thinking about Yesseca that she hadn't noticed the door opening.

Sheldon had just come homee.

He'd heard that Preslie hadn't gone to work that day.

Merlin had run into him and told him the news.

She told him that Preslie wasn't feeling well today, so she let her go home early.

Then Merlin began to praise Preslie's

performance.

When Preslie first started working, she had performed way below Merlin's expectations. Preslie got the job through her connections and couldn't even perform the most basic of tasks. Merlin had had very low expectations of her and didn't think she would last very long. However, after spending some time together, Merlin began to see that Preslie was actually very capable.

Although she didn't understand a lot of the details, she was very hardworking. She would often rush to do the jobs that others disliked and would also stay back late to complete her work. This greatly changed her impression of Preslie.

Just like today. Preslie had looked pale and had horrible stomach cramps, but kept quiet about it and wanted to continue working by holding in the pain. Merlin had found her gripping her stomach in pain. Merlin told her to go home and rest. But Preslie still insisted on staying to work. In the end, Merlin had to force her to go home.
