Chapter 207
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 207<\/p>\n
Secret?<\/p>\n
What kind of secret?<\/p>\n
Just when I open my mouth to ask for more information, Nicole leaves.<\/p>\n
Actually I can see that she has her own problems. But the way she uses my trust, makes me feel very bad.<\/p>\n
The competition is over, and tomorrow we are on our flight back home.<\/p>\n
Frances and Whitney are in first class, while me and Nicole are in economy class.<\/p>\n
Before we get back, Herman promises me that there will be plenty of chances to cooperate with DS.<\/p>\n
Just as we get back to the company, Steven asks me to come to his office.<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard that Whitney almost hurt you with a flowerpot?\u201d He asks straight forward after closing the door.<\/p>\n
I laugh, and sit down in the chair opposite to his.<\/p>\n
\u201cShouldn\u2019t you be asking me if I won the price?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I knew that Whitney almost hurt you, I guessed that she knew about you and Frances. Knowing her, she would never let you win anything after finding out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steven says calmly, his face showing no emotions.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know her well.\u201d I purse my lips.<\/p>\n
Steven\u2019s face expression suddenly darkens, he looks very serious.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am worried about you. I think you should leave Frances. You have no idea what Whitney will do to you if she gets furious.\u201d<\/p>\n
This…<\/p>\n
Even if Steven doesn\u2019t say, I know it well enough. But Frances doesn\u2019t let me go, what can I do?<\/p>\n
I give a bitter laugh, and tell Steven, \u201cNow that I lost the competition, the million is also gone, I really don\u2019t have any other ideas on how to leave him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me send you away, Jane, I know a way how Frances can never find you again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steven stands up and suddenly holds my hand.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s wrong with him, it\u2019s only 3 pm now, I am only an employee, how can I leave this early?<\/p>\n
But of course, I don\u2019t dare to say this out loud.<\/p>\n
I want to say something, but then I hear noise in the phone, and I remember that I am in the elevator, so I start to move my phone away, and say, \u201cHello? What did you say? I am in the elevator, the connection is bad. Hello? Frances, are you still there? Hello, hello hello?\u201d<\/p>\n
Then I quickly hang up, and exit the elevator, just to receive a text message from him.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome home right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
I really cannot go home now, so all I can do is to pretend I don\u2019t see the message, and turn off my phone.<\/p>\n
After work, I rush home feeling uneasy.<\/p>\n
When I arrive, I notice that Frances isn\u2019t even at home.<\/p>\n
Didn\u2019t he ask me to come back? Where is he?<\/p>\n
Then I suddenly remember running into him while he was looking at some photographs, should I use this chance to go and check on them?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-231","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/231","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=231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
