When I am fifty-seven, he would dislike me being old and wrinkled. I just hope one day he would get tired of looking at me and tell me to fuck off!<\/p>\n<p>I go downstairs with dark circles under my eyes. I have a bad appetite during my period, so I just drink a glass of milk and prepare to go to work.<\/p>\n<p>While I am changing my shoes in the hallway, Frances Louis comes downstairs, his face as cold as ever.<\/p>\n<p>This man, in addition to talk dirty jokes, is usually serious and terrible!<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise how would I think of this man as a beast in clothes!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere are you going?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis says lightly, apparently speaking to me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo to work.\u201d I roll my eyes.<\/p>\n<p>He asks me while knowing the answer!<\/p>\n<p>As a poor civilian, what else can I do besides go to work?!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo after you have breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. I will be late for work, and I have drunk a glass of milk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I only wanted to have a glass of milk before I leave, so I didn&#8217;t get down early. It&#8217;s already eight o &#8216;clock, I can\u2019t catch the bus if I don\u2019t leave now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSit down and have breakfast. I will drive you to work later.\u201d Frances Louis says sternly.<\/p>\n<p>Money is the boss! I dare not offend him because I owe him so much money, so I go back to the table for breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>Since he will drive me to work, I am in no hurry.<\/p>\n<p>Betty sits beside and laughs, \u201cLady Jane wouldn\u2019t listen to me no matter how I try to persuade her. Sir, you just said one sentence and she sit down to have breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Betty doesn&#8217;t understand my grievance. I don\u2019t want to waste my time to explain to her, so I lower my head to eat my food.<\/p>\n<p>Betty&#8217;s not good at cooking, but the porridge she made is delicious. The pickles are bought outside, which taste good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t eat that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis says coldly and takes the salad away from me.<\/p>\n<p>Why?!<\/p>\n<p>My fork has already poked at it and he doesn\u2019t allow me to eat!<\/p>\n<p>In the end, when it comes to the middle jewel on the belt, I&#8217;m stuck with how to choose the color.<\/p>\n<p>Ruby is noble, but it doesn\u2019t go with the ice-blue bottom color.<\/p>\n<p>If I used black, it will be a little dark, and the whole belt will appear to be cold and distant.<\/p>\n<p>But with diamonds, it will attract all the attention and eclipsed the belt itself.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what color or material I used, I couldn&#8217;t get the result I want.<\/p>\n<p>I really can\u2019t come up with any good ideas. So, I find the business card and call Donny.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, to keep a low profile and not be a target again, I go to the tea room to make the phone call.<\/p>\n<p>Quickly, the phone is got through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello Donny, I&#8217;m Jane Noyes from the Song Group. I wonder if you remember me?\u201d I say politely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, I must be impressed with such a gorgeous and talented beauty.\u201d Donny jokes.<\/p>\n<p>His words make me embarrassed. I continue, \u201cIf it\u2019s convenient for you, I&#8217;d like to have a meet with you to discuss some problems I met for my design. Do you have time?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m out now and I&#8217;ll be home in about two hours.
