In My Desperate Time

I go back to Virginia with Frances the next day.

Steven calls and tells me that Mangalore had already asked Nicole Snow over to draw again and talk about her design inspiration.

To be honest, I don’t hold much hope. Nicole is not an untalented person. It is not difficult for her to do this. Stealing my drawings is perhaps only for revenge.

I can't go to the company, and I am too afraid to draw at home. All I can do is to sleep in the room.

The strange thing is that Frances hasn't been to work in the past two days. And I don’t know what he does in the room every day.

I can only see him at breakfast, lunch and dinner. After all, he is taking me out to eat.

On this day, when I come back from dinner, the car almost runs into two people as soon as it drives into the villa area.

I quickly get out of the car when I see their faces.

I should have seen that coming.

“Dad, mom, what are you doing? Are you trying to get yourselves killed?”

Mom and dad stop in front of the car, looking awe-inspiring.
