Chapter 19
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 19<\/p>\n
It is David Gibbs gives to me last time when I ask him for the address of Frances Louis.<\/p>\n
I look at this name, like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood.<\/p>\n
Maybe only Frances Louis can help me now.<\/p>\n
I have my pride, my self-esteem. But now, neither pride nor self-esteem can help me live in this city.<\/p>\n
Shaking my hands, I dial the phone, the phone rings for a long time, and no one answers.<\/p>\n
For me, even one minute and one second are very painful.<\/p>\n
I am afraid that he doesn\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n
But I am also afraid that he picks up.<\/p>\n
Finally, Frances Louis doesn\u2019t pick up.<\/p>\n
But I don\u2019t have the courage to call him.<\/p>\n
I stand in the cold wind. I think I might really have to sleep on the street tonight.<\/p>\n
Dragging my suitcase, I walk slowly under the dim lamps.<\/p>\n
After two minutes, my phone rings.<\/p>\n
I am so nervous that my heart stops beating.<\/p>\n
But different from what I think, it is not Frances Louis.<\/p>\n
It is Steven Song.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello? Jane Noyes?\u201d<\/p>\n
He is obviously drunk by the sound of his voice, and his tongue is knotted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter, President Song?\u201d I ask.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou come to my house. I will send you the address.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, Steven Song hangs up the phone.<\/p>\n
I don’t know what he asks me for, but I go there anyway.<\/p>\n
First, he is the boss and I am the employee. Second, I really have nowhere to go. If Steven Song doesn\u2019t call me, I might have to go to Frances Louis\u2019s house.<\/p>\n
I find Steven Song\u2019s home according to the address he gives me.<\/p>\n
It is a luxury apartment.<\/p>\n
Being kicked, Steven Song suddenly wakes up from the sofa. He touches his ass and says, \u201cYou are the first who dare to kick my ass!\u201d<\/p>\n
He is a little angry at first, but he is soon attracted by the smell of the food. After drinking a bowl of sober-up soup, he begins to eat.<\/p>\n
\u201cJane Noyes, you make delicious food. You can cook for me every day in the future.\u201d When he looks at me, his eyes sparkle like a child for candy.<\/p>\n
I curl my lips, \u201cI am not a free nanny.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I’ll pay you.\u201d He looks at the suitcase I put in the corner and says, \u201cmeals and accommodation included.\u201d<\/p>\n
I think Steven Song know about my embarrassment, but he doesn\u2019t ask me why. He just helps me in a very light way without putting any pressure on me.<\/p>\n
It is at this time that my attitude towards Steven Song changes. I always thin he is a playboy, but now he’s at least a gentleman.<\/p>\n
I have no other choice, so I agree to Steven Song\u2019s request.<\/p>\n
Steven Song\u2019s apartment has three rows, so there is a room for me. I simply tidy up and go to bed. As for the salary, I don\u2019t talk to Steven Song. After all, I am homeless now and it is good to have a place to stay.<\/p>\n
I sleep well this night.<\/p>\n
Early in the next morning, Steven Song throws me some money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-43","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/43","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=43"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
