In My Desperate Time

“Just a friend. She’s a very talented designer.” Herman embarrassedly rolls his eyes and replies.

“Designer? Is she one of the contestants of the competition? To avoid suspicion, maybe I shouldn’t stay in the same car with her.”

The old lady intends to get off the car but Herman stops her.

“You have already stayed in the same car with her. Even if you leave now, there is already suspicion. You’re the founder of DS Company. It’s all right for you to give advice to designers.”

So she is the famous founder of DS, Lady Catherine, known as Golden Designer.

That explains why I feel she looks familiar! Now I feel a little excited.

Lady Catherine insists to get off. She has her own principles.

When she leaves, she says to me, “The theme is love. Think about the beloved one in your life when you design your work. Now, I hope you young kids have fun tonight.”

Herman takes me to a lot of places, like Eiffel Tower, night market of Paris, the bar and Chinatown.
