My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Preslie said she was on her period.

"I always suffer whenever my period is here. I think it's the aftereffect of me trying to lose weight. I asked for leave today and will be back tomorrow. The pain usually only happens on the first day." Preslie told Yesseca over the phone. Yesseca thought to herself that she would no longer be here the next day.

But she didn't know why she hung up before she could tell Preslie that.

The morning passed.

Yesseca thought that being around people at work would make her feel better.

But it didn't.

Perhaps it was because she did not sleep well or because of the phone call she'd made to Selina; her mind was in a muddle the whole morning. Finally, she could take a short break during lunch.

She ordered some beef and ate mechanically.

She was numb but Yesseca still managed to discover something.

She seemed to have a lot of beef in her food today.

She knew the shop owner of the restaurant was stingy with his portions. So every time Yesseca came by, the beef on her plate was gone after three bites. But, that day, there was still meat on her plate no matter how many bites she took. Yesseca was a little shocked.

She could not help but raise her head.

And that was when she saw Tremaine sitting opposite of her.

There was a big plate of beef in front of Tremaine. Whenever Yesseca took a bite, Tremaine would place a piece of meat onto her plate. Perhaps Yesseca had too much on her mind that she only realized Tremaine was sitting opposite of her at this moment. "Why are you here?" Yesseca muttered.

Tremaine looked at Yesseca as if he was looking at an idiot. "You're getting more and more distracted. How could you not notice me for such a long time?"

Yesseca did not reply.

She thought for a while and stood up.

She had a thought.

This man in front of her was a bad person.

She should not have anything to do with him.

Seeing that Yesseca was about to leave, Tremaine stopped her, "I want to talk to you. Why did you call me a pervert and throw stones at me yesterday?" Yesseca ignored Tremaine and walked forward quickly. Tremaine followed her with his long legs and pulled Yesseca into a washroom nearby.

Tremaine closed the door.

Yesseca's body shuddered.

She remembered what happened before. Tremaine had brought her into a washroom and molested her.

Her senses seemed to come back to her.

She was about to rush out.

But Tremaine stopped her.

The look on Yesseca's face changed. "Let me out."

Tremaine looked at Yesseca calmly and said, "You're finally responding. You pretended as if I was dead earlier!"

After saying that, Tremaine suddenly picked Yesseca up.

Just like last time, he carried Yesseca towards the countertop.

"What did you mean by what you said yesterday?"

Tremaine looked into Yesseca's eyes.

Yesseca tried to hop down.

But Tremaine held Yesseca's legs down.

Her slender and smooth legs.

Yesseca felt greatly humiliated. "Let go of your hand!"

Tremaine sneered, "If you don't explain to me today, I won't let you go and will force myself on you on the spot!"

Yesseca's face turned red, "You're despicable!"

"You called me a pervert. Do you think I would still care about you calling me despicable?"

Yesseca was so angry that she wanted to kick Tremaine with her leg, but she could not move as Tremaine was much stronger than her and was holding her down.

Tremaine tilted Yesseca's chin up

and said, "Yesseca, I know I have

been busy with work and have had no time to ask. I thought to make

things clear when I had more

time

but I can't wait anymore. Tell me,

what do you mean?! What's with the

180?"

Yesseca glared at Tremaine with hatred, "How could you not know what you did? Now, you even have the audacity to ask me!"

Tremaine thought for a moment, and his eyes

darkened. "I saw nothing more than your pants stained with blood. That's normal for women. I didn't mean to tease you. You don't have to hate me this much." Yesseca was struck speechless.

She was furious. "I have long forgotten that thing!"

"Then what is it?!" After that night, Yesseca had seemed to turn into a different person.

Yesseca took a deep breath.

Well, since Tremaine wanted to know so badly, then she'll just lay everything out.

Yesseca looked at Tremaine and said, "Don't you know how shameless you are?! Did you forget that you installed a hidden camera at my house?! How can you doz something so shameless just to peep on a woman? Are you Voyeuristic?"

Tremaine was caught by surprise.

But he quickly collected himself.

"You know about it?" Tremaine asked.

Seeing how calm Tremaine was after being exposed of his wrongdoing, Yesseca became madder. She raised her voice and scolded, "I know everything. I saw it on your laptop. You have a clip of me changing clothes.." Yesseca couldn't continue. Her face had flushed red from anger.

Tremaine roughly figured out what happened.

His eyes sank.

So that was what was going on.

No wonder Yesseca became so distant as she thought that he installed the camera to peep on her secretly.

Gosh, the woman was dense!

Tremaine suddenly poked Yesseca's forehead hard. "You're really silly!"

Yesseca was speechless.

"What do you mean?!"

Tremaine sneered.

He decided to tell Yesseca the truth.

Otherwise, he would be accused of being a psycho and voyeur.

"I did install a camera in your house, and it was in your bedroom, but not to peep at you. Do you remember that time when someone stuck a face by your bedroom window saw it that day when I went to your house."

Yesseca was taken aback.

Tremaine continued, "For your safety, I had someone guard your neighbourhood and installed the hidden camera in your bedroom. I didn't watch even a glimpse of you changing your clothes. I'm not that depraved."

Yesseca's head throbbed.

After a long while, she said, "You're not lying to me."

Tremaine smiled sarcastically. "I can do anything to you anytime. I don't need to install a camera to peep on you. You could exercise your brain a little, Yesseca."

Yesseca felt as if an anvil had dropped from the sky and struck her head dumb.

Yesseca returned to her work.

Tremaine also went back.

Tremaine needed to head to Nashaland to handle some political business.

Tremaine was relieved at the moment as things between him and Yesseca were all cleared up. In the meantime, Yesseca;s mind was in a jumble.

Yesseca thought things through the whole afternoon.

It turned out she'd misunderstood him.

It turned out Tremaine hadn't peeped on her.

Not everyone was wearing a facade.
