In My Desperate Time

It is Frances.

I don't expect that Hilda will bring Frances here.

The moment I see Frances, I wish I can be invisible to him.

But I don't have such a superpower.

So I can only watch him getting closer to me.

But his gaze has never fallen on me.

He stops in front of Hilda and gives her a gentle smile.

I stand at the side. I feel my eyes sour, but I dare not to cry.

Not only that, I have to talk to them with a smile on my face.

"May I take your order?"

"Frances, you should order. You know my taste."

"Two filet steaks. One should be medium-well with tomato sauce. The other should be medium with some black pepper and some black truffles. And add a spoon of caviar on black truffles. Also, a green salad, an Italian cocoa, and a bottle of red wine."
