In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 187

I’m flustered by his look, as I always would be.

Whitney, as one of the judges of the competition, is two seats apart from me to my right.

She looks over my direction as France’s eyes.

I lower my head uneasily, with my breath being uneven.

“Are you nervous?”

Nicole seems to have sensed that something is wrong with me and turns around to ask me.

Her attitude towards me has literally changed since I was cleared of the last plagiarism. Now the way she talks to me can’t be gentler.

I give her a forced smile and shake my head.

“I’m good.”

“The competition will start in three days, so don’t worry. We still have time to collect materials and get the spark of inspirations.”

Nicole pats my shoulder to comfort me.

As the ceremony moves on, the host invites judges of the competition to the stage.

There are three judges consisting of the jury.

They are Donny, Whitney and a foreign old lady with a benign face. The old lady looks familiar, but I can’t remember who she is.

Whitney stands beside Frances.

The host looks towards them and suggests in a smiling tone, “I heard that you are a couple. Now that the theme of this competition is ‘love’, may I ask you to kiss each other in public?”

The host is talking in foreign language. I’m not good at it and I also don’t understand what he is saying, but strange enough, I understood the request he made to Frances and Whitney.

Every word of it injures my heart.

It’s just miserable for me to see them being intimate and close.

The audiences are already excited.

It seems that everyone likes to cheer up for the fun, on matter which country he is in.

Whitney blushes slightly in the cheer, as shy as an innocent young girl.
