You should go back home to take a rest.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   After all, it is almost twelve o&#8217;clock.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Daniell frowned. &#8220;What? Do you want to discard me after my help is made use of?&#8221;      <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When he finished speaking, I felt a little embarrassed, so I had to promise him.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When we came downstairs, he pointed to a blue sports car and a bike and asked me, &#8220;Which one do you want?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I pointed to the bike.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Daniell smiled. &#8220;I knew you would choose this.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   And he got on his bike.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I sat in the back seat. Although he said that I could put my hands on his waist, I refused.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When he was in college, Daniell was the man of choice for many girls. This seat on the back of his bicycle is the dream of many people.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The wind blows in the summer night. I sat on the back of the bike and looked at the view of the street. I felt a little dazed for a moment.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It&#8217;s like when everything goes back to college.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When his bike reached Daisy&#8217;s downstairs, he looked at the old building and couldn&#8217;t help frowning, &#8220;Do you live here?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Well&#8230;I moved out and now live with friends.&#8221; I made a brief explanation.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Daniell nodded.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He didn&#8217;t say more.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It wasn&#8217;t until he left that I realized I had some questions. How did Daniell Cook end up at our company? Is he a new colleague?     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I thought as I walked back into the building. As I walked through the gate, I was caught by a big hand on my wrist. Next minute I was pinned against the wall!     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Then a voice said, &#8220;June Carter, have you forgotten what is written on our marriage agreement?&#8221;     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   There were no lights in the hallway, but I could tell it was Sean&#8217;s voice.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Of course I do.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t know why Sean is here, but I have a clear conscience.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Are you sure you remember the marriage agreement? Why do you go home with other men in the middle of the night? Is that how you remember it?&#8221; Sean Jessop&#8217;s face was so close to me that the rich smell of alcohol sprayed on my face.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I seem to be a little tipsy.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I looked up, met the man&#8217;s eyes, and said, &#8220;Sean Jessop, I have kept my promise from the beginning of this marriage until now.&#8221;     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I finished my words, I ducked through the gap under the man&#8217;s arm.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Then I go upstairs.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   At the corner, I slightly turn back. The cold moonlight covered the man&#8217;s body. For a moment I thought the figure of the man looked very lonely.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The next morning when I got to the office, I was called by John.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He told me that the new general manager knew about me and decided to arrange a company dormitory for me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Really?&#8221; I couldn&#8217;t believe my ears.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As far as I know, the company dormitory is only provided to the management. How can a small employee like me be given a dormitory?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Yes. Mr. Cook, the new managing director, made the arrangements.&#8221; John took out a key and said, &#8220;The house is in the neighborhood behind the office. It&#8217;s less than five minutes&#8217; walk.&#8221;     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Mr. Cook?&#8221;     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I heard the last name, there was only one person in my mind.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   John had other business, so he let me out first.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I went back to my place and thought about it, and I thought this Mr. Cook was Daniell Cook.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   At noon I went to the canteen to eat, and just after I had finished my meal and sat down, there was a commotion at the door. I looked over and saw that Daniell had just bought the meal.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As he walked, employees invited him to sit next to them.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But he looked straight at me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I quickly refused, &#8220;No, it is too late.
