The next day, I woke up attracted by the aroma of porridge. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
By the way, I have not eaten in nearly 24 hours and my throat is parched. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked around. This is clearly the arrangement of single man’s home. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I have already figured out where this is. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I want to sit up, but as soon as I get up, I feel like I’m spinning around! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And I fell back into bed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Just then, my door was opened and Daniell stood at the door, holding a small plate with a bowl of porridge and a dish of side dishes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When he saw me get up, he immediately put his things on the nightstand and held me up. “You have a serious fever. Where else do you want to go?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And he put me upon the bed and delivered the porridge to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I tried to pick it up, but he stopped. “The bowl was hot. I will hold it for you. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was a little embarrassed and wanted to finish the porridge quickly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But the porridge is hot. I blew for a long time before I could barely take a sip. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell watched me drink porridge. His eyes were full of nervousness. “How does it taste?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, it’s delicious.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I nodded. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The porridge contained red dates, so it had a sweet taste. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My praise relieved Daniell Cook. “That’s good. I used to cook for myself. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It’s the first time I cooked for someone else. I’m afraid you don’t like it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was a shame to accept Daniell’s kindness to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After all, I almost made him lost an expensive order yesterday. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I was buried in porridge and didn’t know what to say, I heard Daniell say, “We’ve already quit that project, so you don’t have to worry, you can go back to work with ease.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His words stunned me. “What do you mean?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“That’s what you think.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell Cook wanted to feed me personally when he saw that I was holding the spoon still. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I quickly retracted and asked, “If you propose to quit from the project, then the liquidated damages…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“This is the business of the company. You don’t have to worry about it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell Cook said it calmly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I know he must have paid the penalty. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
For such a large project, the liquidated damages must be amazing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew Daniell was not a rich second generation. Everything he had now was earned by him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” I feel guilty. “I’ll talk to Sean Jessop. You’ll continue to work together. You don’t have to lose so much money for me. It’s not worth it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As I said, I wanted to get my cell phone and call Sean Jessop. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell reached out with one hand and took my cell phone directly. He said, “It’s worth it. As long as I can keep you by my side, everything is worth it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His tone was firm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at him, and the firmness in hid eyes made my heart warm. It was warmer than this porridge. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell stayed to take care of me that day. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But his mobile phone has been receiving text messages and phone calls. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Daniell was almost always hiding from me to pick it up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This makes my heart secretly worried about whether this default has caused Daniell a lot of trouble. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell stayed with me for another night. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The next day, I was well enough to go to the company with Daniell. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I followed him into the company lobby, the receptionist ran over, “Mr. Cook. Mr. Jessop arrived early in the morning…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I turn around. Through the glass wall of the meeting room, I happened to see Sean Jessop in a dark suit. He was getting up from the couch and walking straight out of the meeting room. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He saw me standing side by side with Daniell. His black eyes were contemptuous and his lips were thin. “June Carter, you’ve been in prison for a year and a half, and you haven’t got rid of making mean for money.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
