In My Desperate Time

The crash startles me. I raise my head and meet Frances Louis’s sharp look.

His eyes take my breath away.

I just realize what I have said!

Who gives me the nerve to say that Frances Louis is stupid? It’s uneasy for him to get off his high horse and cook me brown sugar water. How could I mock him?!

I gulp and look at him nervously, “I'm sorry, I don’t mean it. You are a company’s president. It’s normal that you don’t know about kitchen things.”

“That’s it?” The man's face grows colder and his words smell of danger.

What does he want?

Is my attitude of apologizing insincerely?

I wink, look at him with what I think is the sincerest look in my eyes, and say to him softly, “Mr. Louis, I am really sorry. I shouldn't say you are stupid. You are the smartest person in the world, and I am as stupid as a pig. Your majesty please forgive me.”

“Jane Noyes!”

Frances Louis calls my name almost through clenched teeth. He looks at me sharply for a long time, and finally, he leaves.

Now I really don’t know what to do.

I have never spoken to anyone in my life with such a humble attitude, and Frances Louis is still not satisfied.
