In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 216

“Don’t think too much. Even without you, my mother will take back the power I have now. The company hasn’t gained any profit under my control after all.” Steven says casually.

But I can still hear a slight sense of sadness from his words.

“Still, I want to know what exactly happened that made you want to leave Frances so badly?”

Steven’s words expose my mind easily.

“I just followed what you told me. I can’t afford to provoke a man like that. It’s better for me to leave earlier.”

I say with a bitter smile.

Steven smiles lightly and says, “It’s good you can think about it positively. Anyway, come to me any time if you have troubles. I will definitely try my best to help you if I could. As for things that I can’t help, there’s really nothing I can do.”

“I am already very happy to have you as my friend. Don’t worry, I will definitely find you in the future if I am in trouble.”

I already think over it. It is not possible to make Frances let me go willingly in three days. However, a person like me would not give up until the last moment.

Also, even if Frances doesn’t agree with me by then, I will just run away like Steven said before.

Although Steven says he couldn’t help me, yet he had been contacting all the channels he has in the past few days. Unfortunately, they weren’t effective. DS just made a big change in staffing. When Steven was still the CEO, people would at least do him a favor, but it becomes harder now.

In other places, Steven’s mother has given instructions beforehand. She will not agree with his request at all.

On the other side, Steven is working hard and I am thinking of countermove as well.

Of course, what I studies is to make Frances hate me and then kick me away impatiently.

Knowing that Frances is a tidy person, I deliberately make his house very dirty and messy, especially at the door of his room, it almost becomes a rubbish dump.

What’s more, I even boldly dump all the stuffs from the trashcan on his bed. Although there are only a few scratch papers, I believe it is enough to drive him crazy.

After doing all these, I return my room quietly, waiting for Frances’ return.

At about nine o’clock, I hear some noise downstairs. It should be Frances.

I have the urge to rush out to see his expression now. I immediately lose all my courage as I think of his face that looks like the eve of an incoming storm.

In the next two minutes, the entire villa is filled with suffocating and nervous silence. Even the sound of sea wave hitting the beach could be heard clearly.

Why is it so quiet? Does Frances get pissed off to death?

While I am thinking, the door of bathroom is pushed open suddenly, which scares me badly.

Frances just stands in front of me with a calm face.

“You are having too much spare time recently?” The man leans on the side of the door and talks to me with a mild smile.

Under the large robe, it is a strong chest. His gentle smile makes me feel cold instead. My confidence and determination a moment ago are destroyed all of a sudden.

And I feel very curious now: When did he take a shower? Why don’t I know that?

I pinch my leg secretly, and finally I get the courage to look at Frances, “Not really. What’s the matter?”

“Why do you make the house so messy?” The man asks coldly.

‘Why? Of course to make you hate me and then kick me out. What other reason could it be?’

But what Frances is thinking seems to be quite different from mine.

He walks straight to me and stops. He holds my chin lightly and says, “I didn’t expect you to catch my attention in this way.”
