Chapter 66
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 66<\/p>\n
I feel that I am going to be killed by Noah Jefferson.<\/p>\n
Why does he call when Frances Louis is here?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy don\u2019t you answer the phone?\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances Louis smiles at me, which makes my hair stand on end.<\/p>\n
I know that if I don\u2019t answer it, Noah Jefferson would keep calling. He has always been stubborn.<\/p>\n
There is nothing I could do but stand up with my cell phone and smile at Frances Louis, \u201cI go out and answer the phone.\u201d<\/p>\n
He grabs my wrist and says in a low voice, \u201cright here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, he glides on the screen and helps me answer it.<\/p>\n
Damn you, Frances Louis!<\/p>\n
Okay, I will answer it. I have nothing to hide!<\/p>\n
\u201cHello, Noah Jefferson, what happened?\u201d I ask.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy hang up the phone?\u201d Noah Jefferson asks me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI clicked the wrong place.\u201d<\/p>\n
I am afraid that Frances Louis might think there is something between me and Noah Jefferson, so I say calmly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ll pick you up at 2:00 this afternoon. Please send me your address.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then I remember that Noah Jefferson has an appointment with me for a movie this afternoon. If he hadn’t called to remind me, I would have forgotten. I’m still at Santos, and it’s impossible to get back.<\/p>\n
After thinking about it, I say to him, \u201cI’m sorry, but I am in another city on a business trip now, sorry I forget to tell you. I can’t go today, maybe next time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Noah Jefferson keeps being silent for several seconds, presumably in frustration.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what to say, so I say goodbye and hang up quickly.<\/p>\n
There is no expression change on Frances Louis\u2019s face. But he is like this most of the time, and I couldn’t figure it out.<\/p>\n
Lawrence Jordan, on the other hand, quips, \u201cWho is he? Boyfriend? You still have another man besides Mr. Louis?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShut up.\u201d Before I could retort, Frances Louis interrupts him in a muffled voice.<\/p>\n
The waiter returns with the seafood, Lawrence Jordan goes straight to the kitchen, saying he wants to cook by himself.<\/p>\n
I have some doubts, the rich boy like him, mouth open for food, really know how to cook? Isn’t it a dark cooking?<\/p>\n
About an hour and a half later, Lawrence Jordan comes out with the cuisine.<\/p>\n
The color looks appetizing and smells good, which doesn’t seem as bad as I thought.<\/p>\n
\u201cTry my skill.\u201d Lawrence Jordan spreads out his hands, looking pleased.<\/p>\n
I have a try and it is really good.<\/p>\n
Even Frances Louis fails to pick on him.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot bad? Not everyone can taste the work of a three-Michelin star chef.\u201d<\/p>\n
I couldn’t help rolling my eyes as Lawrence Jordan praises his cooking.<\/p>\n
It seems different from what I thought. I thought she was a sexy woman, but now through her face, she is sexy and pure at the same time.<\/p>\n
I never know that Frances Louis has a sister. Of course, he doesn\u2019t have to tell me.<\/p>\n
Frances Louis doesn\u2019t answer, and the woman’s eyes turn to me. There is obvious surprise on her face.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho is she?\u201d<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know how to answer her.<\/p>\n
I am Frances Louis\u2019s mistress. But how could I tell her this?<\/p>\n
\u201cNone of your business. Since you didn\u2019t catch Lawrence Jordan, just go home.\u201d Frances Louis orders her to leave<\/p>\n
The woman stares at me for a few seconds, then she is suddenly enlightened.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if Shaw\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Her words are blocked by the glance of Frances Louis.<\/p>\n
I wonder what she’s going to say next.<\/p>\n
\u201cSay what should be said, and pretend not to know what should not be said.\u201d Frances Louis says to her.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, sir. I am leaving.\u201d The woman nods and leaves stepping on her high heels.<\/p>\n
After the meal, Frances Louis takes me back to Virginia.<\/p>\n
As soon as we arrive at the villa, I see my mother sitting in front of Frances Louis’s house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-90","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/90","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=90"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
