In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 105

The crash startles me. I raise my head and meet Frances Louis’s sharp look.

His eyes take my breath away.

I just realize what I have said!

Who gives me the nerve to say that Frances Louis is stupid? It’s uneasy for him to get off his high horse and cook me brown sugar water. How could I mock him?!

I gulp and look at him nervously, “I'm sorry, I don’t mean it. You are a company’s president. It’s normal that you don’t know about kitchen things.”

“That’s it?” The man's face grows colder and his words smell of danger.

What does he want?

Is my attitude of apologizing insincerely?

I wink, look at him with what I think is the sincerest look in my eyes, and say to him softly, “Mr. Louis, I am really sorry. I shouldn't say you are stupid. You are the smartest person in the world, and I am as stupid as a pig. Your majesty please forgive me.”

“Jane Noyes!”

Frances Louis calls my name almost through clenched teeth. He looks at me sharply for a long time, and finally, he leaves.

Now I really don’t know what to do.

I have never spoken to anyone in my life with such a humble attitude, and Frances Louis is still not satisfied.

I have menstrual cramps, and now I have to get up to pick up the broken cups caused by Frances Louis.

“I don’t have the luck to enjoy the president’s favor.”

I curl my lips and go downstairs and get a broom to clean it up.

I carry out the rubbish and go upstairs. The light in Frances Louis's room is still on.

I stand at the door and want to knock, but I don’t have the courage.

Finally, I sigh and leave.

I am still suffering from the menstrual cramps, I put a warm paste on my belly, but still not much relieved.

At last, I fall asleep because I am so tired.

When I wake up the next morning, I am still a little uncomfortable, but I am much better than yesterday.

I wash my face and go downstairs.

Frances Louis sits at the table, eating his breakfast with a poker face.

“Morning!” I say to him, trying to break the ice.
