She is one of the women who surround Frances Louis.<\/p>\n<p>She is followed by two other women. One is Fontaine, who still has tears on her face. When she looks at me, the venom in her eyes almost kills me.<\/p>\n<p>Although they have three people, I am not afraid of them.<\/p>\n<p>What can they do to me in public? Besides, with Frances Louis supporting me, I&#8217;m a coward.<\/p>\n<p>Slowly I wipe my mouth, then my hands. I get up, smiling at them, \u201cwhat can you do if I am from the countryside? Frances Louis&#8217;s dating with me, not you. I have flown up on the branch, I am the phoenix!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Usually I really hate the entanglement with Frances Louis. But now, it has become the backing for my arrogance.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re just a bunch of bullies, and if I&#8217;m tough enough, they&#8217;ll know I&#8217;m not a push-over.<\/p>\n<p>Then their faces turn pale. They look towards Frances Louis and seem to be frightened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are just a sex toy. Wait and see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That woman leaves a malicious sentence and go away with other two women.<\/p>\n<p>I purse my lips and sit down to eat. This foie gras is so delicious, I don&#8217;t know who the chef is, how could he make such a delicious thing.<\/p>\n<p>Sure enough, the rich eat better than the average person.<\/p>\n<p>Hungry and greedy, in a short time, there is only one foie gras left on the plate.<\/p>\n<p>I look at the last piece of meat in front of me awkwardly, hesitating to eat it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it good?\u201d The playful voice of Frances Louis rings behind me, and I blush immediately.<\/p>\n<p>All women here are famous ladies, polite and reserved. They eat like a bird. I don&#8217;t fit in here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I answer dishonestly, and get up to leave.<\/p>\n<p>The light in the hall suddenly dims.<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis takes my hand and holds me into his arms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s dance.\u201d His star-like gaze almost melts me.<\/p>\n<p>My heart beats quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Again, I am distracted by Frances Louis. Facing such a handsome and rich man, I feel difficult to resist him. But the relationship between him and me is just a deal, and I can&#8217;t let myself sink down in the illusion.<\/p>\n<p>I shake my head and get out of his hand, \u201cI don\u2019t want to dance with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t seem like Frances Louis. And I&#8217;m not naive enough to think how special I am for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho knows. I can\u2019t guess his thoughts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Led by Lawrence Jordan, I finish the dance smoothly. I find dancing is not as difficult as I thought. I must have been nervous before.<\/p>\n<p>I am about to go to the side for a break when someone else&#8217;s high heel steps on my heel and I lean forward, out of control, toward Lawrence Jordan.<\/p>\n<p>And awkwardly, I kiss Lawrence Jordan on his lips.<\/p>\n<p>There seems to be a sharp look behind me. Lawrence Jordan turns pale, pushing me away like a plague, and says in a panic, \u201cit&#8217;s nearly twelve o&#8217;clock? The last sweet time is for you and Mr. Louis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I fall back into a warm, familiar embrace. Without looking back, I know it is Frances Louis. Because he still has that strong perfume on his body.<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence Jordan greases his feet and runs off. He seems to be afraid of Frances Louis.<\/p>\n<p>I turn my head weakly to Frances Louis&#8217;s smiling eyes.<\/p>\n<p>This smile looks creepy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2026it was just an accident.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are hungry for man.\u201d Frances Louis says and drags me to go out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-87","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/87","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=87"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
