In My Desperate Time

My whole body is frozen that I don’t dare to move.

If Noah Jefferson comes to talk to Frances Louis now, I would be dead.

Fortunately, Noah Jefferson doesn’t see Frances Louis. Frances Louis glances at me and then goes upstairs.

Without answering Noah Jefferson, I run out of the cafe.

I arrive at home, but Frances Louis is still out.

That's not surprising. I just ran into him in the cafe.

"Lady Jane, welcome back."

Betty comes over and greets me warmly.

I remember that Frances Louis told me not to cook, and I chose to let Betty do the cooking.

"Betty, you don't have to call me lady, call me Jane." I smile at Betty and say softly.

I am not a lady, I am only Frances Louis' mistress, or rather, a mistress living in the darkness.

Betty calls me lady. She probably doesn't know my identity.
