In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 160

“I have to let everyone here know how shameless you are! I can tell everyone!”

To their surprise, Nicole Snow starts to say, “Please call security staff to make the lady out of our office. How can a person shout here in the office hours? All are working now!”

Just when she finishes talking, the security staff comes to hold my mother to leave.

But my mother tries to talk, “No, I won’t go. Everyone should know what is she like…”

Finally, my mother is blocked out of the office before she talks more.

I hear that the security staff tell her to leave here as soon as possible or they will call the police.

Soon, there is not any voice left.

I would not know what to do with my mother if Nicole did not give me a hand just now.

So, I turn around to say “Thank you” to her, just seeing she already leaves for her office.

Due to my mother’s interruption, I get distracted too much in the whole morning and worry that she will come back again to bother me.

Although I understand others will know my secret sooner or later, I have not prepared myself well enough at this moment.

I cannot wait to take a bus back home when I am off in the afternoon.

My home locates too far from the office. I have to take the bus to the furthest station I can reach and then take a taxi for no bus directly to my destination.

Today, I feel some of strange after getting off the bus.

Looking behind, I see a black HONDA car following me in a low speed as a snail.

In case of danger, I rush to walk ahead.

There is the transferring station in the corner ahead which I need to walk to.

Without knowing who he or she is behind me in the car, I believe there is some danger.

Thinking a lot in my mind, I hit someone by accident.

“Oops, my bad. I didn’t mean to do it.” I don’t raise my head to make an apologize and walk on.

“Hi, Jane Noyes. You are here!” someone says.

This is a really small world that I can hit Noah Jefferson here.

Now it occurs to me that the school he works for is around the corner and it’s not difficult to meet him here.

I answer him, “Yes. I am going home.”

I look back to see the following car which parks along the road.

He says, “So glad to see you here. Why not go to eat something together?”

I should refuse him, but I am afraid someone in the car will do something to me if I am alone. Now Noah is here to keep them away.

Considering this, I nod to accept his offer and follow him to a nearby restaurant.

In fact, it is hard time staying with Noah to me.

In my mind, he should be such a perfect partner to me. Unluckily, we met each other at the wrong timing; even though still loving him now, I am not the one who matches him.

Noah is probably destined to be the one who I will always miss but cannot get in my life.

He says unhappily, “Jane, I will have an arranged date with someone. It was done by my family.”

I reply him quietly with a smile, “Good for you.”

Noah puts down the chopsticks all of sudden and grabs my hand. He says, “No! You know I love you!”

He speaks in a lower voice which also attracts the attention of customers at the other table.

I am kind of embarrassed about it and reluctant to keep smile, “Don’t do that, Noah. I told you I cannot be your girlfriend. You deserve better girls instead of wasting time for me.”

“Hey, Jane, you are only divorced. It is not your fault to marry a wrong man before. Why do you look down yourself so much? I don’t care about your past story at all! Actually, I am eager to take good care of you to let you forget the hurt you got before.”

Noah talks much about his feeling with Jane.

I think I would say “yes” to him if I didn’t meet Frances.

I love Noah.

First love is so amazing that will not be forgotten forever.

Until now, I am kind of fascinated by him.

Anyway, what could I do even though I am attached to him?

I smile bitterly and have to answer him, “You don’t know the truth; it will bother you too much.”

Noah looks at me with great determination and asks, “Please tell me; let me know it! I don’t care about that your divorce or your family’s situation. Apart from these, I don’t know anything that could stop me from loving you.”

“Noah, now I am the other woman of a couple, a disgusting mistress of someone.”
