Chapter 224
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 224<\/p>\n
As we enter the lift, I look at Steven and say gratefully, \u201cThanks for your help.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are my girlfriend, what\u2019s there to thank?\u201d Steven looks up at the camera and smiles at me.<\/p>\n
He presses the button for the lift.<\/p>\n
He leads me to his office, closes the door, and says, \u201cThe woman in the office love to gossip. The news of you being my girlfriend will quickly leak out. Everyone knows the strength of the Song Group. By then, what Whitney said about you will die off naturally. So, you should just pretend that you are my girlfriend during this period.\u201d<\/p>\n
I look at him dumbfounded and know that this is a good approach but is that the right thing to do?<\/p>\n
I am already beyond redemption and do not want to implicate Steven. I\u2019m sure he will receive a lot of pressure from his family. He has already helped me a lot and I don\u2019t wish that he suffers for my sake.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, you have already helped me a lot today. You don\u2019t have to make such a big sacrifice for me.\u201d I shake my head at Steven and force a smile.<\/p>\n
Steven looks at me and suddenly turns solemn. At that moment, I feel that he might have something to tell me. But once these words are said, perhaps things will get tricky between him and me.<\/p>\n
But in the end, Steven simply raises his eyebrows and says, \u201cIt\u2019s not a bad thing for me as well. You should know that I\u2019m hounded by women every day. We\u2019ll take it as helping each other out. Okay, let\u2019s not drag this further, unless you know of a better way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steven ended this topic with ease. Indeed, I don\u2019t have a reason to refuse. I can only play out this act with Steven for now.<\/p>\n
Outside of the office building, I see Noah standing anxiously at the entrance. He called me several times during the day but I never answer any of his calls because I really don\u2019t know what should I say. Although he knows about my relationship with Frances but I\u2019m sure he feels awful after seeing the recent news.<\/p>\n
But I never expect him to come to look for me.<\/p>\n
Noah rushes towards me and says, \u201cJane, you finally appear. I couldn\u2019t contact you for days and am worried sick. I came every day to your company and finally managed to see you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steven looks around at the company staff walking past and says solemnly, \u201cLet\u2019s talk once we\u2019re in the car.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-248","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/248","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=248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
