Chapter 59
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 59<\/p>\n
My head is pushed away fiercely.<\/p>\n
Frances Louis’s deep eyes are fixed on me, and his face is terribly gloomy.<\/p>\n
The surrounding air freezes at once. Under the sharp eyes of Frances Louis, I feel like being cut by a knife.<\/p>\n
Then I realize that I have asked a wrong question.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, I drink too much.\u201d<\/p>\n
A cold wind blows away some of my intoxication. I stand up and step back, trying to get away from Frances Louis.<\/p>\n
People say you can’t touch a tiger’s buttocks. I must have eaten the guts of an ambitious leopard to ask Frances Louis such a question.<\/p>\n
\u201cStop.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances Louis commands in a low voice.<\/p>\n
His eyes are so frightening that I have no other idea but to run. Instead of stopping, I take two more steps back.<\/p>\n
Suddenly I trip on something. My body swings back uncontrollably, and I start to sweat when I see the scene behind me.<\/p>\n
I don’t know when I’ve retreated to the edge of the platform. This is the third floor, and if I fall, there’s half a chance I’ll die, and half a chance I’ll be crippled.<\/p>\n
Neither is what I want.<\/p>\n
I close my eyes and wait in despair to fall, but my hand is yanked and my body leans forward into warm arms.<\/p>\n
I open my eyes and meet Frances Louis\u2019s sharp eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you to stop! Don\u2019t you understand?\u201d He questions me harshly.<\/p>\n
Then I realize that he was asking me to stop because he was afraid that I would fall, not because he wanted to punish me. He didn’t speak clearly, and I almost fell off.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought you would beat me.\u201d<\/p>\n
I say with grievance.<\/p>\n
His brows twist. He says to me with a dark face, \u201cam I so frightening?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMindy, David Gibbs is your boyfriend, not mine, and he has no obligation to help me. Besides, this is the trouble caused by Frank Noyes, so it is better that I solve it by myself. Now things have already been like this, there is no point in saying more.\u201d<\/p>\n
The dialog box shows that she is typing, but after a few minutes, there is only one sentence from Mindy Sue.<\/p>\n
\u201cJane Noyes, I will always be your strong support, if Frances Louis bullied you, I will not let him go.\u201d<\/p>\n
I answer her \u201cThank you.\u201d But I want to laugh. There is no bullying between Frances Louis and me. He is my patron, not my man. I don’t have the right to reason with him<\/p>\n
However, what Mindy Sue said warms my heart.<\/p>\n
The phone vibrates twice. It is a Twitter message.<\/p>\n
Someone leaves me a message.<\/p>\n
His name is simple but powerful<\/p>\n
