President's Substitute Wife

In the evening, I put this card away. I took the coffee cup and drove home.

I was unhappy and didn’t want to go, but I put on makeup and changed clothes.

I sat on the sofa and looked at the card, “7:00 tonight, Vienna.”

I hesitated to go.

It was 6:40. If I wanted to go, I had to start at once.

I thought about it. Finally I picked up my bag and the cup and wanted to go out!

Fortunately, there was no traffic jam now. It took me about 20 minutes to get to Vienna.

I took a look at my watch. It was exactly seven.

I parked at the intersection and looked inside. Several waiters stood at the door.

Sean seemed to have booked the entire restaurant.

I was about to start the car in when my cell phone rang.

I looked down and saw Philip’s number.

I picked up the phone and wanted to talk, but I heard the noise, “are you Becky?”

“Huh?”

I was a little surprised because it was loud and it sounded anxious.

And it was not Philip’s voice.

“I’m Philip’s roommate, Mathew. Do you remember me?”

Mathew? I seemed to have heard the name.

I admitted, “yes.”

“Can you come to our school now? There’s something wrong with Philip!”

Mathew said.

“What happened to him?”

I was suddenly nervous. I took a look at the restaurant and hesitated.

Mathew paused and said, “Philip borrowed money from loan sharks, but he can’t pay back the
