Chapter 549
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 549<\/p>\n
“Since you’re going to do something to me, then I’ll just go.”<\/p>\n
I try to stand straight and walk past Hilda.<\/p>\n
When I finally disappear from Hilda’s sight, my legs are like taffy and I squat on the ground.<\/p>\n
That’s horrible.<\/p>\n
It’s too terrifying.<\/p>\n
It’s because Frances is here that Hilda pretends to be gentle and innocent.<\/p>\n
But can I hide like today forever?<\/p>\n
Hilda is quite calculating and unwilling to make the smallest sacrifice. She will definitely not let me go.<\/p>\n
It’s only a matter of time before she attacks me.<\/p>\n
In the following days, I feel so scared. I can even wake up from nightmares every night.<\/p>\n
In my dream, Hilda holds a knife and stabs it into my body.<\/p>\n
Blood flows out and dyes the ground red.<\/p>\n
Every time, I wake up from nightmares, screaming.<\/p>\n
I’ve been living under such a situation for several days. I’m afraid that Hilda will suddenly appear and kill me.<\/p>\n
I’m not afraid of death, but I still have Penelope and Earl, so I can’t be killed so easily.<\/p>\n
Soon, it’s the deadline.<\/p>\n
And next, it’s time for the internal evaluation of the DS Company.<\/p>\n
Two days later, the results come out.<\/p>\n
Sitting in front of the computer, I’m so nervous that I try to slow my breath.<\/p>\n
After a long time, I finally screw up my courage and click the page.<\/p>\n
The awards are announced from third to first.<\/p>\n
The third place goes to an Italian male designer who has won many international awards.<\/p>\n
His design is indeed very good, so he deserves to be ranked third.<\/p>\n
The second place goes to a native American designer who’s already sixty years old.<\/p>\n
But from her design, I can feel deep love, very much in line with the theme this time.<\/p>\n
Finally, there’s only the first place left.<\/p>\n
I glance over the page and my heart almost comes out of my throat.<\/p>\n
“Maybe my work isn’t good enough. After all, this is an international competition. There are so many experts here.”<\/p>\n
“I don’t think so. I’ve seen your work and it’s really good. I think it’s better than mine. The champion should be you.”<\/p>\n
Nicole says sincerely.<\/p>\n
However, her opinion is useless. As long as the organizers feet that my design is not good, then it is unnecessary for us to say anything.<\/p>\n
“Thank you, but the truth is that I didn’t win the prize. Perhaps I don’t know enough about the native American culture. Or maybe I didn’t calm down at that time. Anyway, the result has come out. It’s useless to say anything.”<\/p>\n
Thinking of Penelope, I feel heartache.<\/p>\n
I’ve lost all my hope. I really don’t know what to do.<\/p>\n
I’ve always thought highly of myself.<\/p>\n
I think that I can win the prize if I come to this competition. But I don’t know that there’re many talented people here, and I’m just the most common one.<\/p>\n
“No, you are very capable. Actually….” After a pause, Nicole can’t help but say to me, “Actually, I’m thinking if you have accidentally offend someone.”<\/p>\n
Why does she say that?<\/p>\n
“What do you mean?” I ask suspiciously.<\/p>\n
“I heard that the reason why you didn’t win the prize this time is that someone interfered and made your work disappear from the competition during the first round.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-573","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/573","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=573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
