In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 521

"Even if you don't say anything, I will ask David to do so." Mindy says quietly, "By the way, didn't you go to find Frances yesterday? Did he believe you?"

"No."

I reply in a low voice and touch my left cheek, which is still swollen.

I didn't even dare to tell the truth when my mother asked me what was going on. Now when Mindy asks me, I naturally won't tell her.

She cares so much about me that I'm afraid that she will rush over to Frances and beat him up when she knows what's going on.

"He didn't believe my words. I have no choice."

"Oh, Jane, don't be too sad. There’s plenty of fish in the sea. Look at you, so outstanding and beautiful. As long as you're willing to start a new relationship, there will be lots of men chasing you."

"You're such a honey-lipped person. Alright, I'm going to bed. I won't disturb you anymore."

After putting down the phone, I sit in bed and stay up all night.

Even if I have Mindy arrange for someone to keep an eye on Hilda, I still feel worried.

Finally, I go to a restaurant near Frances' house and work as a waiter there.

"You’re a graduate of a prestigious university and have worked in large companies. You've even won an international award. Why do you want to be a waiter here? It's such a waste of talent."

The manager looks at my resume with a look of disbelief.

"How could this be a waste? I've been keen on the catering industry since I was a child. Unfortunately, I don't have talent to be a chef. The food in your restaurant has always been delicious. It's not bad to be a waiter here." I reply to the manager with a smile.

Hearing my praise of the restaurant, the manager nods and quickly agrees to employ me.

The restaurant has an excellent location, diagonally opposite to Frances’ house. It was about three hundred meters away from the house. I can watch everything near Frances’ door from almost every direction.

This way, I can see what Hilda is doing, and secondly, I can see Earl and Frances. To me, it seems to be a blessing.

I am not busy in the morning. It is acceptable to go to work around 10 a.m., but I still keep coming here at 8 a.m.

It's the time for Frances to go out.

What a close call! If I run slower, she'll find me.

I let out a long sigh and continue to look outside.

After Hilda comes in, she looks around and says something to the waiter before walking towards me.

Oh, my God. She won't notice me, would she?

Her high-heeled shoes make crisp sounds as she walks.

Again and again, she makes my heart in my mouth.

Finally, she stops in front of the door.

Her cold laugh comes from the door.

"Open the door. I know you're inside."
