In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 180

Signing a contract with DS means that there will be many cooperation opportunities with this company. I missed an opportunity before, this time I don’t want to miss it again.

It is so painful for me to stay with Frances.

We’re going to pick one person from the design department. I really hope I can take part in this competition, so I write down my own name.

Steven starts counting the votes. In the end, I get the highest number of votes.

That’s beyond my expectation.

I know that I have a bad interpersonal relationship in the company. I don’t expect other colleagues to vote for me at all, otherwise, I won’t write my name.

"Well, the person to go to France has been decided. Jane, Nicole, get ready and fly to France in the evening."

Steven smiles at me. He seems to be very happy.

He asks me to stay in the meeting room. After everyone else has gone, he says to me, "Jane, this time, you have to take advantage of the opportunity. I know you’re talented. As long as you succeed, it’s easy to leave Frances."

I force a smile, but I’m not happy.

I love Frances, but I have to leave him. It’s too painful for me.

I give Noah a call. As soon as he answers the phone, he affectionately calls me "honey".

"Don’t call me that," I say unhappily.

"You have agreed to my proposal. Sooner or later you will be my wife."

Noah seems happy. Frances hasn’t bothered him yet. So, I’m relieved for a while.

How can I explain to Noah the thing of last night?

I just wanted to save him, not to marry him.
