In My Desperate Time

Nicole Snow is my direct supervisor.

I could buy these materials for her another day.

I know she means to make it hard for me. It isn’t anything very important, so I don’t want to go against her. It's also helpful for me to know more about materials.

But I wish the wind could be gentle outside.

I walk out of the door with the lists.

As soon as I reach the door, I am stopped by the strong wind.

My 100-pound body can’t stand the gale like this.

It isn’t a long distance but I couldn't walk there, so I take a taxi.

Three minutes later, the car stops in front of a shop selling accessories.

I go in and get everything Nicole Snow needs.

When I come out, I see Noah Jefferson walking toward me.

We haven't been in touch for days. In Santos, he called me once, but I misses it, then I forgot to call him back.

“Jane Noyes, I recognize you from a distance. Why you come out in such a strong wind?” He smiles at me, his warm smile melting me.

To me, Noah Jefferson is like the sun on a winter day. No matter how cold the weather is, as long as he is here, the world is warm.

Unfortunately, he is not my sunshine.
