In My Desperate Time

"No way!"

I interrupt her.

"I haven’t finished. Why you interrupted me so hastily?" Mindy says.

"I know what you are going to say. You want to say that Frances Louis likes me. But that’s impossible. I can’t compare with his wife, and he is mean to me, he treats me as if I am just a sex doll. The reason why he behaves in such a perverse way simply because he is too possessive. So, he would rather like a pig than me."

My words make Mindy laugh.

"Only you would compare yourself with a pig."

"Even pigs have a better life than I do. They have nothing to worry about, their lives are all about eating and sleeping." I purse my lips.

They don't have to go to work, and all they think about is how to make themselves more beautiful every day. Frances Louis hasn’t forced you to pay the money back now. How can you not know to enjoy your life?"

"Every one has his or her own will. I don't want to depend on him for a living. When I have earned enough, I will leave Frances Louis as fast as possible." I say firmly.
