In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 55

I don’t want to go head to head with Frances Louis, but there is nothing I could do. I have to walk past him to get to work.

He has seen me and I can’t pretend not seeing him, I can only say hi.

“What a coincidence! President Louis.”

Before I finish my sentence, I am dragged by him into the car.

Frances Louis slams the door shut, and for a moment the atmosphere inside is eerily quiet.

The low pressure makes me breathless.

Looking at Frances Louis, I notice that his face is sullen, too, and that his eyes are as deep as ink. I don’t know what he is thinking.

I try to open the door, but it is locked.

“President Louis, I have to go to work, would you please…”

Frances Louis turns and asks me with his eye half-opened.

“Who is that guy?”

I know he is asking about Noah Jefferson.

He is my patron and I am not surprised to know that he doesn’t allow me to keep company with any other man.

“My high school classmate. We are just having lunch.” I say to him lamely.

Although what I say is true, why I still feel a little bit nervous?

This man's face grows darker. Frances Louis sneers and looks at me sideways, “Classmate? I heard everything he said that day outside The Cloud Heaven. It was his coat you came back in that night. Now you are having lunch together and seeing each other again, do you think I'll believe you're just classmates?”

I am surprised because I have never heard Frances Louis say so much words at once.

I guess I must have annoyed him. Men are more possessive than I thought.
