My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)



Tremaine stood still, his eyes widened in disbelief.

After a moment, he asked, "Sheldon, I didn't catch that. Say it again."

Sheldon couldn't hold back how happy he was when repeated, "Sir, Miss Cowell is inviting you to dinner this weekend."

"Clack!"

The pen Tremaine held in his hand fell onto the ground.

He quickly stood up and strode over to Sheldon. "She said that? Did she really say that?"

"Yes sir, Miss Cowell said so herself!"

Tremaine walked over to the other end of the room without saying a word.

He paced from one end of the room to the other.

He practically walked in circles around his office.

Then he stopped in front of Sheldon.

He stared into Sheldon's eyes, "You're very sure? You are certain that she said? Really?"

"I'm sure!" Sheldon said firmly, "I'm one hundred percent sure of it, sir!"

Tremaine still didn't believe it.

He then said, "Sheldon, punch me!"

Sheldon looked at him incredulously.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"Punch him?"

No way!

Sheldon replied, "Sir, I really shouldn't hit you."

Tremaine lifted up his arm and balled his fingers into a fist. He was about to punch himself.

Sheldon quickly noticed this and moved in to stop Tremaine.

He caught Tremaine's arm and held it back.

"Sir, please! You mustn't injure yourself! I'm certain that Miss Cowell means to invite you for dinner! If you won't believe me, I'll call her right now!" Sheldon then took out his phone.

He dialed Yesseca's number.

The call connected.

Sheldon then asked, "Hello Miss Cowell, I'm just calling to confirm you would like to invite the president out for dinner in Nashaland this weekend, correct?"

"Yes." Yesseca replied, "As thanks for the recipe he got for me. I'm very grateful for his help and would dike

dinner."

"Miss Cowell, are you sure about this?" Sheldon asked.

"Yes, I'm sure." Yesseca replied, "Haven't already told you this? You know, thinking about it now, maybe it's not a good idea. He might not be willing to come."

Sheldon replied, "He's willing. He's very willing to!"

Yesseca was quiet.

She smiled wryly and said, "Okay then. That's good to know. I'm hanging up now."

"Beep. Beep. Beep."

After hanging up the phone, Sheldon turned to Tremaine and said, "Well sir, are you convinced now?"

Tremaine felt a torrent of emotions swirling inside him.

He never thought that Yesseca would ever invite him out for anything at all.

He assumed that she would have wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.

He never expected this, not at all.

After a moment, he asked, "She knows that I got her that recipe for her bread?"

"Yes sir." Sheldon replied guiltily, "I had told your son by accident and he told her."

Tremaine didn't get angry at Sheldon.

He was much too happy about Yessica's invitation to dinner. He had no time to get mad at Sheldon.

"Sheldon, help me prepare." He ordered.

Sheldon laughed out loud. "Sir, it's only dinner with Miss Cowell. There's no need to prepare for anything."

Soon it was the weekend.

In Agaphen City.

Yesseca got up early today.

She was constantly reminding herself.

That today was just like any other ordinary day.

Just like how it had always been, it couldn't be any more ordinary than usual.

But her emotions were going crazy.
