In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 152

How does he know that I have more comments about the belt?

I really think that the belt really has very good design, but it still has some noticeable flaws.

The flaws are mostly in the places where the two ends of the belt meet. It feels like there is something amiss but due to my position, I am not sure whether I should raise my opinion or not.

Seeing that I am hesitating, Herman uses his gaze to encourage me, “There’s no harm in stating your opinion.”

“I have a feeling. Is this belt an unfinished product?”

When I raise my wild guess, I see a flash of astonishment in Herman’s eyes. Shortly after, it is replaced by a deep sorrow.

“You are definitely right. This belt is designed by an important woman in my life for me. However, before the design can be completed, she has left me.”

I am not sure what Herman really means about her departure, whether she has left the world or she merely left him. It is not an appropriate question for me to ask. However, I can discern that this woman he is talking about must be someone he loves deeply.

I am lucky that my wild guess is right on the mark.

“Alright, Jane, you can go back now. I have something to discuss with Herman.”

Frances calmly gives me an instruction to shun me away.

What the hell!

What does he mean by that?

When I was planning to leave, he has insisted me to comment on Herman’s belt. At the moment, I am having a conversation with Herman, but he has instead asked me to leave. Who does he think he is to me? He is really ordering me around!

I am really infuriated, but Herman is now looking at me with an astounded expression.

“So you are Jane? That Jane who was recommended by Donny to submit a work?”

Since I have been involved in a plagiarism conflict, so I am not really sure how he sees me as a person. I can only nod meekly and reply, “That is me. Since you have official business with President Louis, please allow me to take my leave as to not burden you. However, I can tell you with conviction that I didn’t copy anything in my work.”

After saying this, I promptly return to my room and start to blow my clothes with a hairdryer.

Shortly after, there is a knocking on the door.
