Chapter 62
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 62<\/p>\n
As soon as I walk in, I feel urgent to back out.<\/p>\n
I thought it would be a dinner party or something with a few people at most.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t expect to see so many people.<\/p>\n
I stand there in a daze and don\u2019t go out for a long time.<\/p>\n
Everyone turns their eyes on me, which makes me even more nervous. To put it mildly, I am Frances Louis’s mistress, and to attend such an event with him would make me feel embarrassed.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be nervous, just stay with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances Louis cocks his head and whispers in my ear. He doesn\u2019t even look at me. How does he know I am nervous?<\/p>\n
I look down at his coat, which has been pulled out of folds, and sheepishly let go.<\/p>\n
Seeing his intimacy with me, everyone shows an ambiguous smile. I keep walking and feel my hands and feet out of place.<\/p>\n
I almost walk by the same foot with the hand.<\/p>\n
But I find that my nervousness seems unnecessary. No one seems to look at me differently. Yes, I don’t have a \u201cmistress\u201d written on my face. I calm down with that thought.<\/p>\n
Frances Louis takes two glasses of wine from the waiter and offers me one.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t drink, just pretend.\u201d<\/p>\n
I nod, holding my glass and surveying the scene around me.<\/p>\n
It should be the dining room of this hotel, surrounded by a lot of food. So late at night, and these people are eating?<\/p>\n
I feel a little strange.<\/p>\n
We keep walking forward. When we pass the first man, he toasts to Frances Louis and says, \u201chappy birthday, president Louis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today is Frances Louis’s birthday? No wonder these people are still here so late at night.<\/p>\n
I turn to look at him, feeling nervous.<\/p>\n
Today is my patron\u2019s birthday and I have no idea about it. I am so unqualified to be a mistress, because I don\u2019t know how to please my boss.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks.\u201d Frances Louis graciously clinks glasses with the man and leads me on.<\/p>\n
As we walk toward the center of the crowd, I see a group of girls forming a circle. Inside, there are two men like two moons standing in a circle of stars.<\/p>\n
The two men are handsome. One is handsome and a little ruffian, and the other is stylish, I can feel his muscles bouncing even across the shirt.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrances, you are finally here. What a birthday party! You’re the main character but won’t show up until eleven o’ clock.\u201d The ruffian man comes out from a crowd of women and complains discontentedly to Frances Louis.<\/p>\n
The muscular man also comes and ridicules, \u201cYou don\u2019t know. What’s the point of having a birthday without a beauty?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe this little beauty has sent herself to your bed\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
The ruffian man doesn\u2019t finish his sentence but the crowd begin to laugh.<\/p>\n
I am not stupid. Of course, I know what he means. I give him a black look.<\/p>\n
There is no expression on Frances Louis\u2019s face. He doesn\u2019t seem to mind their joke.<\/p>\n
That crowd of women, seeing Frances Louis, gather around and pounce at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Louis.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Louis, why you come so late?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe haven\u2019t seen each other for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
These women push desperately towards Frances Louis and easily push me away.<\/p>\n
Anyway.<\/p>\n
I am hungry, and I can just take this opportunity to eat something.<\/p>\n
\u201cJane Noyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
She grabs Frances Louis in fear and implores, \u201cPresident Louis, I am sorry. Please don’t. Please.”<\/p>\n
I feel pity for that delicate and touching face. Frances Louis is still calm and cold. He looks at these women and says, \u201cAll of you, who still want to climb onto my bed?\u201d<\/p>\n
As soon as he says this, people scatter like birds and beasts.<\/p>\n
There is only the daughter of Fontaine Group standing there with a look of despair.<\/p>\n
Frances Louis manages to escape and comes towards me. There is a variety of women’s perfume on his body, which smells very pungent.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Louis, why are you so cruel to these women? Just be nice.\u201d The ruffian man says, but there is no mercy in his eyes.<\/p>\n
They say that people of high society are the most ruthless. I have seen it by myself today.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not like you. I don\u2019t want to mess up with them.\u201d Frances Louis rolls his eyes to him and takes me to the crowd.<\/p>\n
I am starving to death. Later, I can\u2019t hear what Frances Louis is talking about and people begin to have double images in my eyes.<\/p>\n
Am I going to die, because of hungry?<\/p>\n
\u201cFrances Louis, I am hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n
I say to him weakly, my limp body leaning against Frances Louis.<\/p>\n
I am so hungry that I am talking like a mosquito, and I am not even sure if he heard me.<\/p>\n
Frances Louis says something to a man on the other side, then helps me to sit down.<\/p>\n
I see him move his lips towards me, I don’t know what he said, and then he leaves.<\/p>\n
I am surrounded by food. I can\u2019t think too much and begin to eat desperately.<\/p>\n
I finally regain some strength after eating several pieces of meat.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook at the way she eats. She must come from some remote countryside. How can president Louis bring such a woman here?\u201d An acerb voice comes into my ear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-86","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/86","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=86"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
