In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 76

Nicole Snow is my direct supervisor.

I could buy these materials for her another day.

I know she means to make it hard for me. It isn’t anything very important, so I don’t want to go against her. It's also helpful for me to know more about materials.

But I wish the wind could be gentle outside.

I walk out of the door with the lists.

As soon as I reach the door, I am stopped by the strong wind.

My 100-pound body can’t stand the gale like this.

It isn’t a long distance but I couldn't walk there, so I take a taxi.

Three minutes later, the car stops in front of a shop selling accessories.

I go in and get everything Nicole Snow needs.

When I come out, I see Noah Jefferson walking toward me.

We haven't been in touch for days. In Santos, he called me once, but I misses it, then I forgot to call him back.

“Jane Noyes, I recognize you from a distance. Why you come out in such a strong wind?” He smiles at me, his warm smile melting me.

To me, Noah Jefferson is like the sun on a winter day. No matter how cold the weather is, as long as he is here, the world is warm.

Unfortunately, he is not my sunshine.

“I come out to buy something, what are you doing here?”

“Me too. I need some medicine for the experiment. There is a temporary shortage of supply. I come out to see if I can find some.” He smiles at me.

I remember he said earlier that the class he was teaching had to do with chemistry. It's normal to do experiments.

“We didn’t watch a movie last time, so let's go this time.” He says to me.

“But I have to buy materials.”

Every time he asks me out, I would try my best to duck out. If we two go on like this, it won't have a good result for him or me.

“There's no rule about when you have to buy it back. The movie would only take two hours, and there is plenty of time left.”

Then he takes out his phone.

“All right. I have bought the tickets.”

Before I could say no, he has everything planned out.

I have already been embarrassed to stand him up last time, and now I couldn’t refuse him again. So, I can only go to the cinema with him.

Because of the strong wind, the cinema doesn’t have many people. We are the only two guests in the hall.

It's a romantic movie. I like the actors and actresses in it. We are absorbed in the movie.
