Chapter 20
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 20<\/p>\n
I check the money. There is about twenty thousand dollars, but I don\u2019t dare to take it. Instead, I look at him blankly.<\/p>\n
\u201cHalf of it is your salary, and the other half is the money for the vegetables. I am afraid you\u2019d quit suddenly, so I give you the money just in case.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yeah, I’m really short of money right now, so I don\u2019t pretend to be awkward and just take it.<\/p>\n
When I am about to go out, my mother calls.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat’s the matter with you? I don’t care whether you went out last night. Why don’t I come back today? Your brother’s cell phone is broken because of you. He wants to buy a 7Plus, you quickly get the money back for him to buy a new one.\u201d<\/p>\n
I laugh bitterly, Do they really think I am stupid! I just threw it on the tea table last night and it was broken? They just want to find an excuse to ask for money.<\/p>\n
I hang up the phone directly. They call me afterwards but I don\u2019t answer them.<\/p>\n
When I arrive at the company, everyone sees me and Steven Song showing up together, and they all cast envious and resentful eyes. In an instant, I become the public enemy of all the women in the company.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow could she hook up with the President when she just come the company? I’ve been here for three years, and she gains an advantage!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just come here for three years, I have been here for five years! It can\u2019t be your turn speaking of seniority.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou mean you are old.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho is old? You coquette!\u201d<\/p>\n
The two women beside me, they sim at me at last second, and for the next second they have quarreled with each other.<\/p>\n
Steven Song seems to have seen this scene a lot of times. He pulls my hand and strides into the elevator.<\/p>\n
Coming out of the office, I always feel as if there are eyes staring at me in the dark .But I turn back and see nothing. Perhaps, it is just illusion.<\/p>\n
I buy vegetables and go out of the door. Suddenly, there are two people coming down form a van and they drag me in.<\/p>\n
The vegetables roll down on the ground. The car has started before I realize.<\/p>\n
Including the driver, there are four men in the car. They are all wearing hoods, so I couldn’t see their faces.<\/p>\n
I am held up by two men and gagged with a towel, unable to speak.<\/p>\n
I begin to feel flustered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-44","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/44","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=44"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
