In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 224

As we enter the lift, I look at Steven and say gratefully, “Thanks for your help.”

“You are my girlfriend, what’s there to thank?” Steven looks up at the camera and smiles at me.

He presses the button for the lift.

He leads me to his office, closes the door, and says, “The woman in the office love to gossip. The news of you being my girlfriend will quickly leak out. Everyone knows the strength of the Song Group. By then, what Whitney said about you will die off naturally. So, you should just pretend that you are my girlfriend during this period.”

I look at him dumbfounded and know that this is a good approach but is that the right thing to do?

I am already beyond redemption and do not want to implicate Steven. I’m sure he will receive a lot of pressure from his family. He has already helped me a lot and I don’t wish that he suffers for my sake.

“No, you have already helped me a lot today. You don’t have to make such a big sacrifice for me.” I shake my head at Steven and force a smile.

Steven looks at me and suddenly turns solemn. At that moment, I feel that he might have something to tell me. But once these words are said, perhaps things will get tricky between him and me.

But in the end, Steven simply raises his eyebrows and says, “It’s not a bad thing for me as well. You should know that I’m hounded by women every day. We’ll take it as helping each other out. Okay, let’s not drag this further, unless you know of a better way.”

Steven ended this topic with ease. Indeed, I don’t have a reason to refuse. I can only play out this act with Steven for now.
