After all, I had been unknown in the company all the time. If he sat down, I would be a public enemy of the employees.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As a result, Daniell sat on the empty table next to me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He gave me a smile which told me that he knew what I was worried about.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I felt so warm.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I stayed at the office this afternoon, but instead of working overtime today, I made an appointment to see my client at 5: 00.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I was just outside the office when I saw Daniell waving at me in a white sports car. I ran over and he said, &#8220;Are you going to meet your customers? Let me drop you off.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   In fact, I knew he lied to me, but I got in the car eventually.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I complained, &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t you tell me that you came to be the general manager of our company?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Why should I tell you?&#8221; Daniell was driving, looking ahead with a smile on his face. He said to me, &#8220;No matter what my status is, you are always my junior schoolmate.&#8221;     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   His words were warm without any sense of distance.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Soon, we arrived at the community I had agreed with the customer. I thanked him and got out of the car. After watching the car leave, I just entered the community.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The hostess was an obscure starlet, Judy Sophia. She was demanding and pompous. More importantly, she had a lot of unrealistic expectations in the wedding room.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It took me more than three hours to end this pining communication.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I got out of the community, I saw Daniell&#8217;s car parked where I got out. He was standing next to the car, leaning against the door, writing and drawing with a tablet computer in his hand.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I ran to him and asked, &#8220;You aren&#8217;t going to wait here all the time, are you?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I took a peek at the design which had already done most of it on his tablet.  Even a genius like him would have to work for at least an hour and a half.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But Daniell put the tablet away. He smiled and said, &#8220;No, I just ran to a construction site, and I&#8217;ll be waiting for you when I get back.&#8221;     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;You are kidding me.&#8221; I exposed him in a playful tone.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Daniell didn&#8217;t say anything. He just helped me open the door and put me in his car. &#8220;Yes, I have been waiting for a while. Let&#8217;s go to dinner together.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I was hungry at that time. Although I was a little hesitant, I agreed for his waiting for me for so long.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Because it was over 8 o&#8217;clock, many restaurants were off duty.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He took me to a Japanese restaurant.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When our order came, I, who normally didn&#8217;t mind sushi raw fish, was disgusted by the smell of the fish.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I rushed to the bathroom and threw up to feel better.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I got back to my seat, Daniell looked at me anxiously and asked, &#8220;What is wrong with you?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I touched my belly and hesitated. Then I said, &#8220;I&#8217;ve got an upset stomach.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Daniell believed me. He thought I was working long hours and eating irregularly.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He began to talk to me at the dinner table about the importance of health. He advised me not to work too hard.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I agreed with him.     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   After dinner, I gave the keys back to Daniell and said, &#8220;I&#8217;m a little designer. If I live in the company dormitory, I&#8217;m sure everyone will be unhappy.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   All he could do was taking the key back and adding, &#8220;If you ever need any help, you must remember to ask me for it.&#8221;     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Daniell sent me to Daisy&#8217;s house.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As I was about to leave, I heard someone behind me say, &#8220;Thanks to Mr. Cook for seeing my wife home.&#8221;     <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I looked back and saw Sean leaning against the wall. In the dark, the smoke flickered.   <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I suddenly felt a bit nervous. After all, I had been unknown in the company all the time.
