In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 109

I look at Nora in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

“She broke the vase. How much is it?”

Nicole Snow asks Nora, with a look of amusement.

Whitney Jordan stands there with a cool face, her calm eyes showing no emotion. In a trance I think, she and Frances Louis are very similar, no wonder they would be together.

I almost forget that she has an extremely insane side.

Nora looks at me sympathetically and says, “1.6 million dollars. I'd better call the boss over.”

Then she makes a call and describes the situation here.

I stand there, desperately, like a prisoner awaiting trial.

After making a call, Nora gives me two napkins, saying, “Wipe your face, there's a lot of blood.”

I take napkins dully and wipe my face. The blood stains napkins red quickly.

The cut on my face looks pretty bad. However, I have no time to think about it. All I am thinking about is how I can get so much money.

Whitney Jordan and Nicole Snow still stay. Apparently, they want to sit through.

Soon the boss comes over, a man with a big belly. He sees the debris on the ground and asks sharply, “Who broke the vase?!”

“It's me.” I stand up and bite my lips.

“Make reparation. 1.6 million dollars, one cent less and I will call the police immediately.”

The boss's words, no room for negotiation, make me completely despaired.

There are only 40 thousand dollars in my back car, far from enough.

Whether Nicole Snow tripped me up or not, I broke the vase, and I must take the responsibility.
