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.

I look at the boss sincerely, “1.6 million dollars is not a small one, can I pay by installments?”

“Installments, are you kidding me? Give me 1.6 million, or I'll call the police right now.” Says the boss coldly.

Nora moves her lips, apparently, she wants to help me. But she's just an employee and can't decide anything. It's unnecessary for her to get into trouble.

“Call your men. Even if other men don't have so much money, President Song can certainly afford it.” Says Nicole Snow with sarcasm.

I know very well that I can't call Steven Song at this time.

If I called him and he came here that would prove Nicole Snow's false accusation to be true.

“I will pay the reparation. I promise.” I keep trying, hoping the boss will show some mercy.

The boss snorts and looks at me disgustingly, “I can tell at a glance that you don't have money. Why you come here since you are penniless? A person like you should go to jail!”

The boss takes out his phone and calls the police, fearing that I would escape, he blocks me with his fat body.

The police station is two hundred meters around the corner. Soon, two policemen come.

When I see the police, I really panicked.

Andrew Malan and Frank Noyes went to prison because they committed a crime, but I am not like them, I can't go to prison. If I run into them in prison, I think they'll probably kill me. Especially Andrew Malan, who's abnormal and hates me to the bone.

In a few words, the boss explains the situation to the police. The police come over and say to me deeply, “It is you who break the vase. Come with us.”

I can't go to the police station. If I get a stain, my whole life will be ruined!

Although my life looks not good now.

“When the chips are down, there's no man to lean on. Jane Noyes, those of you who try to charm a man's heart are bound to eat your own bitter fruit.” Nicole Snow's mocking voice rings out again.

Eat my own bitter fruit? How funny. If it hasn't been for her tripped me up, nothing would happen.

She looks down on me, and thinks I get my status depending on men. I can’t stand her anymore.

I walk up to Nicole Snow, smile and say, “You don't think I can afford $1.6 million? You are wrong! I can afford it!”
