In My Desperate Time

I really need that five million of the design competition now.

So I call Nicole quickly to ask her how to register and the exact theme of the competition.

She is very happy when she hears that I want to participate in it and tells me all directly.

"The theme is about lovers, the same as the one in France that we have taken part in before, but this time the venue is in the United States and your design work should be based on the American culture. I think you’d better go to the United States and live there for a while."

'Go to America?' I hesitate.

I can't leave Penelope alone. How can I go to the United States?

But if I don't get the prize money, I can’t afford the medical bills of Penelope at all.

I have no choice.

There is still a month from the deadline of the competition and to design a work I must involve myself in the resonant material to get inspiration.

I quickly book a flight ticket to the United States. There is no economy class left, so I buy the first class, which I never do before.

Anyway, what I really need is a ton of money not the price of a plane ticket.
