But I can&#8217;t help it. I&#8217;m just afraid of Frances Louis. He treats me not bad, but he has an innate sense of oppression.<\/p>\n<p>My heart is beating, and I wonder whether to tell Frances Louis the truth or not.<\/p>\n<p>But if I tell him, will he forbid me to go?<\/p>\n<p>Slowly, I turn around and look at Frances Louis, don\u2019t dare to say a word.<\/p>\n<p>The man wipes his mouth gracefully and comes towards me.<\/p>\n<p>The gradually closed distance makes my heart beat up violently.<\/p>\n<p>Or I can just tell him.

I have two face masks, which makes that pimple look even bigger.<\/p>\n<p>Desperate!<\/p>\n<p>So desperate!<\/p>\n<p>I put up a lot of concealer and foundation, but couldn&#8217;t cover up the pimple.<\/p>\n<p>I can only wait for the lights turning dim a little bit and people would not see the pimple on my face.<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis leaves in the morning, so I don\u2019t have to report my schedule to him.<\/p>\n<p>The party is at 6 pm at Golden Hotel. I arrive at the hotel at 5:30 and meet Noah Jefferson at the door.<\/p>\n<p>After a few years, the fresh and handsome young boy, his edges become more and more clear. Every move of him shows the charm of a mature man.<\/p>\n<p>The feeling of heartbeat is very strong, I seem to go back to many years ago, back to the age of first love. He passed by mt at the first-grade classroom and since then, this boy has lived in my heart for three years.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone is drunk and we have to take a taxi.<\/p>\n<p>As it happened, it ends up leaving me and Noah Jefferson. I have no choice but to get into a taxi with him.<\/p>\n<p>The car is so small that I could feel his breath.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t drink, but I feel like I am going to explode.<\/p>\n<p>Noah Jefferson looks at me several times, as if he has something to say to me, but he doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>He sits next to me and I couldn&#8217;t even breathe. As soon as we arrive outside The Cloud Heaven, I get off the taxi.<\/p>\n<p>One of my hand is pulled by Noah Jefferson. I turn doubtfully and meet his dark eyes.<\/p>\n<p>He stares at me and says seriously, \u201cJane, I like you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The air seems to be frozen at this moment.<\/p>\n<p>I feel a little bit flustered and nervous. And it is not just because of Noah Jefferson&#8217;s sudden confession.<\/p>\n<p>I can feel that there is a pair of eyes, not far away, staring at me.<\/p>\n<p>Turning around, I find Frances Louis standing at the door of The Cloud Heaven. The distance between him and me is no more than five meters.<\/p>\n<p>So he heard everything that Noah Jefferson said?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-74","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/74","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=74"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
