Chapter 584
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 584<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, two Hollywood special effects makeup artists come to put on my makeup.<\/p>\n
Because I haven’t had a decent sleep for two days, I fall asleep when they do it.<\/p>\n
It isn’t until one of the makeup artists pats my shoulder and says I am all good that I open my eyes in a daze and look into the mirror.<\/p>\n
For a moment, I don’t dare to admit it.<\/p>\n
Is the person in the mirror really me?<\/p>\n
I never thought that I could look like a man.<\/p>\n
My face is that of a white man, and even my pupils are green.<\/p>\n
Moreover, this makeup is exquisite.<\/p>\n
Even though I usually wear makeup, I am impressed by this work of art.<\/p>\n
Maybe my mother wouldn’t even recognize me.<\/p>\n
I’ve learned a lot about the way men walk.<\/p>\n
I can’t think of anything that can go wrong on my side.<\/p>\n
When I am ready, I go straight to Linda’s house.<\/p>\n
To avoid Hilda’s spies, I didn’t come to her house again.<\/p>\n
But it’s different now. I’m here as her fianc\u00e9.<\/p>\n
I stand at the door and knock lightly.<\/p>\n
Soon, Linda opens the door.<\/p>\n
When she sees me, she is confused.<\/p>\n
“Excuse me, who are you looking for?”<\/p>\n
She actually doesn’t recognize me?<\/p>\n
It seems my efforts during the past two days pay well.<\/p>\n
Smothering my smile, I lower my voice and say to her, “I’m looking for Jane.”<\/p>\n
“Jane?”<\/p>\n
She is surprised and stares at me for a long time before saying in disbelief, “Are you Jane, by any chance?”<\/p>\n
This time, I can’t hold back my laughter anymore.<\/p>\n
Now, as a man, I can’t help but leer at her.<\/p>\n
Everyone looks at me curiously.<\/p>\n
“This … is your husband?”<\/p>\n
Mike’s English is bad. I figure he is in the same level as me.<\/p>\n
He looks at me with interest and doubt. He is probably wondering how I have won Linda’s heart.<\/p>\n
Hilda glances at Linda indifferently, her eyes filled with displeasure.<\/p>\n
Perhaps she is surprised Mike invites Linda over.<\/p>\n
She knows what game Mike is playing by involving Linda in such an important occasion.<\/p>\n
“Mike, I thought you decided to make the deal with me.”<\/p>\n
The business world is cruel.<\/p>\n
Hilda doesn’t cover her displeasure.<\/p>\n
Mike doesn’t take it seriously and says, “Of course I want to see who is more sincere. This is important business. I will deal with the party that shows more interest.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-608","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/608","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=608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
