In My Desperate Time

“Aren’t you in a hurry?”

I turn to ask him confusingly.

"It's not your turn to ask about my business.” He says lightly. Then he walks ahead of me and stands at the door of Steven Song's house.

He knows Steven Song’s home. Did he secretly investigate or know Steven Song well?

I am curious but don’t ask him.

He's just said it's not my turn to take care of his business, and if I ask more, I might annoy him again.

“It’s okay for me to go in alone.”

I open the door and close it quickly.

Because Frances Louis doesn't play by the rules.

If I let him in, wouldn't that have been like setting the tiger free? As to whether he will be angry, we can talk about it later.

On entering the door, I see Steven Song sitting on the sofa with a sullen face.

I am relieved that I didn’t let Frances Louis in.

“You are back.”

He stands up and moves his lips. He seems to want to ask me something, but he doesn’t know how to begin. All he could do is look at me with a frown.

“I've come to get my things, and I won't live with you in the future. The money you paid me before, I will transfer to your account, if you want to take it as me breaking the contract, I can also pay you the liquidated damages.”

He and I both don’t mention Frances Louis, but we all now it is about him.

“That’s your choice, I respect it.” Steven Song says to me.

I nod and go in to collect my things, but there is a knock on he door.

Needless to say, it must be Frances Louis knocking at the door.

I know it. This guy's not that easy to deal with.

Steven Song frowns and wants to open the door. I grab him and say, “I'll open it. It's Frances Louis.”

Anyway, Steven Song is well aware of my relationship with Frances Louis now,
