In My Desperate Time

His message is as simple as him.
Only one word
“Yes.”
Followed by a question mark.
I could feel the dangerous look in his eyes and the chillness even across the screen.
I am scared and drop my phone.
Frances Louis has twitter?
And he follows me?
I don’t care whether he follows my account or not. How could he see this twitter! Isn’t he drinking? Why is he playing twitter now?
“I am dead! I am so dead!”
I jump out of bed and pace back and forth, wondering how I would explain to him.
My head becomes dizzy and I couldn't figure out a way to explain. Or I can just delete the twitter.
Even if he wants to pick on me, there's no proof, and I can just deny it.
After comforting myself, I lie down again and go to sleep uneasily.
Early next morning, when I hear a knock at the door, I bounce out of bed.
What happened last night keeps playing back in my mind. I feel cold in the back as I thought of Frances Louis's eyes.
I force myself to open the door and meet Frances Louis's cold face.
“I have to go out for two days.”
Then he leaves.
He didn’t ask me about last night?

Feeling relieved, I watch him leave. I wash up happily and prepare to go to the office after eating.
Noah Jefferson calls as soon as I cook well.
“Jane Noyes, tomorrow is the weekend, I have bought the movie tickets in the afternoon at three o’clock, shall me see it
together?”
“No. I want to sleep late in the weekend.” I refuse him.
“Don't stay at home all day long. It's good to go out and get some fresh air. At night, there will be a lot of fireworks in the
pedestrian street. It's very beautiful.”
I like fireworks best. That fleeting gorgeousness makes me unable to resist.
But I never told anyone that I like fireworks. How did Noah Jefferson know?
But I wouldn't say yes to Noah Jefferson just because of the fireworks.
“Jane Noyes, if I'm putting too much pressure on you, we can start as friends. We can see a movie as friends. You wouldn't turn
me down, would you?”
Hearing what he said I would be so ruthless if I say no again.
“Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
I hang up and go to work after breakfast.
“Jane Noyes, I think you'd better stop being my assistant. From now on, you don't have to drive me to work or cook for me.”
Steven Song stares at me and says seriously.
I am stunned and ask him sheepishly, “What happened? Did I do something wrong?”
Or it is because of my relationship with Frances Louis that I can’t work with him. After all, not everyone can accept such a shady
relationship.
If Steven Song fires me, where am I going to find such a good job?

“You think too much.” Steven Song chuckles and continues to say, “I'm not going to fire you. I can see your talent. The belt you
designed have been pre-ordered before it comes on the market, and now y the next batch is being processed. You are very
talented, and I don't want to delay your career with all those complicated things. You should do what you love.”
Steven Song's words make me moved.
Yes, he knows me. He knows what I really want to do.
Design has always been my dream. I will be happy if I can realize this dream. When designing the belt, he insisted that I am the
main designer, which makes most chief designers unsatisfied. But in the end, I proved myself with my work.
“Thanks, Steven Song.” I say to him smilingly and pack up my stuff happily.
“Don’t thank me. We are friends.” Steven Song says casually, then he supplies, “But I can't give you a high position, you can go
to No. 1 Design Group and under the command of Nicole Snow.”
Nicole Snow, this name makes me nervous.
Nicole Snow is the company's lead designer. After the belt incident, she has never given me a kind look in the office. If I work for
her, I would definitely suffer a lot.
But I didn’t refuse.
First of all, I don't want to get special treatment for my relationship with Steven Song, and secondly, Nicole Snow is a really
talented designer. She has won a lot of awards in the world, and I can learn a lot from her.
“No problem. I will try my best and design something I like.”
After packing, I go downstairs to Design Group.
Design Group is at the same floor of my former Planning Group. When I pass Planning Group, everyone looks at me with curious
eyes, waiting for a good scene.
“Isn't she the phoenix that flies up on the branch, how now fall into the doghouse now?” Some woman gloats.
“Haven't you ever heard a saying, to serve the king with beauty will not last long. She thought she can get the president’s heart
by his breasts and dirty tricks. Every woman has breasts.

Another woman wearing thick make-up agrees.
Then she squeezes her breasts.
She is wearing a low-cut, sexy dress, and as I walk past her, I saw her two nipples. I don't know who is dirty.
I don’t want to argue with them, I purse my lips and go to the design group.
“Are you a pig? my main draft has already done, I just ask you do some subsidiary design, and you can’t do such simple things
well, you trash! If you can’t do your job well, just resign and go home. Don’t stand here and offend my eyes!”
I walk in and Nicole Snow is scolding a colleague.
Her brows tighten as she sees me come in.
“I have told them I am full of hands, and they still send me such a bum! What the...”
I don't like being called a bum. I am not a genius, but I'm not worthless.
I smile politely at Nicole Snow and says, “if you don't want me here, I'll tell President Song.”
I turn and want to go. But Nicole Snow calls me.
“Stop! I tell you, don't try to pressure me with President Song! If he didn’t get enough of you, how could you be exiled here?”
Nicole Snow’s thought is same as others’, which makes my heart sink.
I thought Nicole Snow was pure and lofty, but now she is just a worldlang.
I don't care what other people think of me, I say to Nicole Snow, “I will prove myself with my ability.”
Later, I realize that I am the one who is lofty, and that lofty almost ruins my whole life.
In the afternoon, Frances Louis suddenly texts me and wants me to go to Santos.
Then I receive the message of the book of plane ticket.
The plane flies at nine o' clock in the evening, and the ticket has been bought. My money Lord calls, and I have to go.
After work, I go straight to the airport to Santos

To my surprise, as soon as I arrive at the airport lobby, I see Frances Louis standing out from the crowd.
