In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 200

Last night after chatting with Nicole, I called Donny and asked him to take me for a tour today. This is to help fix Donny up with Nicole.

As we see Donny outside, Nicole is clearly surprised and thereafter she looks at me.

I smile and get in the car as I feel good about what I did.

Nicole has a good personality. The things that she did previously were due to jealousy. These were possibly due to hormonal imbalance. If she has the man’s comfort, then she will not do all those meaningless things.

Donny gets into the car without saying a word and naturally, I sit behind, leaving the front passenger seat to Nicole.

“Donny, Nicole says that she wants to go to Eiffel Tower. Let’s go there first.” I say from behind.

To others, the Eiffel Tower is a tourist landmark. But I believe that it means differently to Nicole. She once expressed her love to Donny over there.

Of course, she isn’t the one who says to come here. All these are my decisions after listening to their stories.

I am thinking that coming to a place which is full of memories for them will enhance their feelings for each other.

At the Eiffel Tower, Donny did not get out of the car with us.

“Something crop up at the office. I’ll head back first and pick you guys up later.”

Something crop up?

He didn’t mention that previously and I didn’t see him receiving a call. How does he know that something has cropped up?

He is obviously doing this to avoid Nicole.

“Donny, you are…”

Nicole tugs on my arm and shakes her head at me.

Hence, I can only look helplessly as Donny leaves.

“Some things can’t be forced. I’m afraid that when he is forced too much, he may reject me even more.” Nicole says sadly.

I did not retort. I tour the place with Nicole and look at the passing crowd. In the end, we went to a department store to shop.

Donny comes back at nightfall. He brings along a beautiful blond lady with blue eyes.

The lady is sitting on the front passenger seat and greets us with broken English.

“Hello?”

“This is Suzanne. After sending you back I’ll be going with her to a nightclub.” Donny laughs as he even kisses Suzanne tenderly.

Nicole sits beside me in the rear seat and didn’t speak a word all the way to the hotel.

Her eyes are slightly red and she is obviously fighting back her tears.

“See, as I said earlier, when you force him too much, you will get opposite results.” Nicole smiles and says bitterly.

I do not know how to console her and can only see her hang her head in despair as she goes back to her room.

After I take stock of what happened today, I also lay down on the bed to sleep.

On the next day, I am rejected by Nicole when I suggest that we go sightseeing. Her mood is so bad that she doesn’t even care about the competition.

I go for a stroll for half a day and attain numerous inspirations.

The next day is the day of the competition.

The specialty of this competition is the on-location design of the drawing. The draft must be done within three hours.

Among the drafts, six will be selected for the final round.

The location of the competition feels like an ancient examination center. A desk with drawing materials separated by a board from the other participant.

All the positions are facing the audience.

Whether it is coincidental or otherwise, my position is facing towards Frances.

I become nervous when I think about the way I drove him out of the room the previous night.

“I feel that everyone should turn around so that they will draw better,” France says suddenly.

“Why?” The host asks in surprise.

“I’m afraid that my presence will affect someone’s masterpiece.”
