In My Desperate Time

I take him to a small restaurant that I used to visit when I was in high school. Frances Louis also brought me here last time, and after eating here once, I really miss the delicious food of this place.

It is a rare chance today, so of course I have to come here to eat.

“Hi, Jane, did you change a new foreign boyfriend?”

As soon as the boss sees me, he greets me cheerfully.

“Change?”

The corners of my mouth twitch a little.

Do I look like a flirtatious woman who would change boyfriends frequently? The boss is really good at making up stories.

“No, the last one isn’t my boyfriend. This one isn't either, he is just a friend.”

I smiled awkwardly at the boss and sit with Donny.

On Donny's face, there is no discomfort and he seem to be adapting well to the environment here.

“I can't really understand the menu.” After flipping through the menu, Donny hands it to me and says, “You're a regular customer here, so please recommend some food.”
