In My Desperate Time

My heart suddenly feels panic.

How can Frances be so calm? Perhaps he knows how to deal with Noah?

Everyone around looks over here.

Perhaps Noah thinks that he overreacts as his face darkens. He says, “Let’s talk outside.”

Frances smiles and stands up. Noah and he walk outside together.

I feel worried after Whitney and I look at each other so I follow along with them.

Noah and Frances walk towards a quiet corner and stop.

Noah glares and asks Frances, “You have such a beautiful wife, why don’t you give up on Jane? Even if you want to look for another woman, with your ability, you can find any kind of woman. Why does the person have to be Jane? Any conditions you can tell me, I will make sure to satisfy you but please leave Jane alone.”

The question he asks, it is also a question I've always been curious about.

I am just a normal woman, but why does Frances like me?

Last time when I asked Frances, he did say that I’m an interesting woman. I was clear that it was just a perfunctory answer.
