In My Desperate Time

I feel that I am going to be killed by Noah Jefferson.

Why does he call when Frances Louis is here?

“Why don’t you answer the phone?”

Frances Louis smiles at me, which makes my hair stand on end.

I know that if I don’t answer it, Noah Jefferson would keep calling. He has always been stubborn.

There is nothing I could do but stand up with my cell phone and smile at Frances Louis, “I go out and answer the phone.”

He grabs my wrist and says in a low voice, “right here.”

Then, he glides on the screen and helps me answer it.

Damn you, Frances Louis!

Okay, I will answer it. I have nothing to hide!

“Hello, Noah Jefferson, what happened?” I ask.

“Why hang up the phone?” Noah Jefferson asks me.

“I clicked the wrong place.”

I am afraid that Frances Louis might think there is something between me and Noah Jefferson, so I say calmly.

“I'll pick you up at 2:00 this afternoon. Please send me your address.”

Then I remember that Noah Jefferson has an appointment with me for a movie this afternoon. If he hadn't called to remind me, I would have forgotten. I'm still at Santos, and it's impossible to get back.
