Chapter 187
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 187<\/p>\n
I\u2019m flustered by his look, as I always would be.<\/p>\n
Whitney, as one of the judges of the competition, is two seats apart from me to my right.<\/p>\n
She looks over my direction as France\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n
I lower my head uneasily, with my breath being uneven.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you nervous?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nicole seems to have sensed that something is wrong with me and turns around to ask me.<\/p>\n
Her attitude towards me has literally changed since I was cleared of the last plagiarism. Now the way she talks to me can\u2019t be gentler.<\/p>\n
I give her a forced smile and shake my head.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m good.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe competition will start in three days, so don\u2019t worry. We still have time to collect materials and get the spark of inspirations.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nicole pats my shoulder to comfort me.<\/p>\n
As the ceremony moves on, the host invites judges of the competition to the stage.<\/p>\n
There are three judges consisting of the jury.<\/p>\n
They are Donny, Whitney and a foreign old lady with a benign face. The old lady looks familiar, but I can\u2019t remember who she is.<\/p>\n
Whitney stands beside Frances.<\/p>\n
The host looks towards them and suggests in a smiling tone, \u201cI heard that you are a couple. Now that the theme of this competition is \u2018love\u2019, may I ask you to kiss each other in public?\u201d<\/p>\n
The host is talking in foreign language. I\u2019m not good at it and I also don\u2019t understand what he is saying, but strange enough, I understood the request he made to Frances and Whitney.<\/p>\n
Every word of it injures my heart.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just miserable for me to see them being intimate and close.<\/p>\n
The audiences are already excited.<\/p>\n
It seems that everyone likes to cheer up for the fun, on matter which country he is in.<\/p>\n
Whitney blushes slightly in the cheer, as shy as an innocent young girl.<\/p>\n
I am amazed.<\/p>\n
But soon, I just realize that DS Company is the sponsor for this competition, and Herman is the company\u2019s director. So it makes sense that I met him here.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with you? Your eyes are red.\u201d Herman asks me with confusion.<\/p>\n
I look at him but don\u2019t know how to express my feelings.<\/p>\n
But he knowingly glimpses at the stage and immediately understands what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on. Let me take you out for something fun.\u201d Then he takes me out of the hall.<\/p>\n
A call of an old lady is heard behind us when he is about to start the car.<\/p>\n
I turn around and find it\u2019s that foreign old lady, one of the judges.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma, what are you doing out here?\u201d Herman asks with amazement.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m no longer young for such a lively scene.\u201d Then she gets in the car and is kind of shocked to see me in the car too.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere does this beautiful Asian girl come from? Your girlfriend?\u201d the old lady asks with a smile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-211","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
