In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 94

Hearing Noah Jefferson says "I will see you later" makes me scared.

"Why?"

Frances Louis sits aside and looks at me smilingly.

He definitely knows why! He asks me on purpose to make fun of me.

"No reason. I just want to go home. Since I am all right now I’d better go home."

"Home."

Frances Louis murmurs. He looks at me deeply and nods.

Soon, Frances Louis completes the discharge formalities for me.

Noah Jefferson doesn’t show up before I leave. I feel so relieved.

Frances Louis's mood is uncertain and difficult to guess, so I dare not challenge his patience.

When I get home and see the kitchen, I am still scared.

"From now on, no more entering the kitchen."

Frances Louis says lightly.

"Then what do I eat? Takeaway? Or you cook for me?"

I roll my eyes to Frances Louis.

It’s just an accident, not a big deal. He can’t be so extreme as to ban me from the kitchen!

He doesn't care because he can eat outside, but I'm in debt. If I don't save money, how can I be free soon?

"You have two choices. Eat out with me or I ask Betty to come back to cook."

Betty? Is that housekeeper I met with on my first visit to his house?

Without thinking, I say to him, "I choose the second."

"Betty doesn't cook very well." He glances at me and says light.

I think Frances Louis may be out of mind.

He is rich. Why does he employ a servant who doesn’t cook well?

I don’t want to ask more questions about his life, so I purse my lips and say, "Although I'm not a noble lady, I have a very selective mouth. If I were to eat out with you, every meal would be expensive and delicious."
