Looking at the man’s eyes, I could not help blushing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I spent the whole New Year in Daniell’s town. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell was very concerned about me these days and his parents were very kind to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
For the first time, I felt the warmth of a family and parents. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This warmth was different from their indifference to me after I flattered Marlin and Inez. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could feel Daniell’s parents were good people. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although we were not sure we were lovers, we were already in love. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As long as we admitted it, it was the truth. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought I could be his real girlfriend after an opportunity. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The holiday was over. When I arrived at the company, many colleagues had arrived. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We all talked about the New Year in groups. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went in alone, and someone greeted me and asked me how my new year was. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This New Year was unprecedented for me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought about it and smiled and said, “Great.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The colleagues were excited when they heard it. They asked me, “Your smile is so sweet. Do you spend the new year with vice president?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What? Did you visit the parents of vice president?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Other colleagues gathered around. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because Daniell said he liked me before, everyone knew about it. They were not too surprised by me or him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As I hesitated to answer, a voice came from behind the crowd, “what are you discussing?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was Daniell. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When he came, all the colleagues gathered around to greet him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then they asked him who he had spent the new year with. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this time, Daniell looked up at me. He smiled softly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This movement made everyone understand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Someone complained, “Well, I don’t seem to have a chance.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes, they have visited their parents. I need to change my goal.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They complained and went to work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell came up to me and asked in a soft voice, “what would you like to eat at night?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Think about the evening now?” I looked up and blinked at him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Or you can say something else.” Daniell squatted down and looked up at me. “I just want to talk to you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His words made me blush. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When we were talking, we heard a lot of noise outside the office. It seemed that Brenda had come. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My colleagues all went to greet Brenda. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t care, but Brenda suddenly stood at the door of my office. She looked at Daniell and said, “Stop falling in love and come to the meeting room.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, she left in a hurry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I could hear that her voice was very serious. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Daniell left, his colleagues came back from the outside to discuss again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It seemed that all the leaders above the middle level had been called to the meeting. And Brenda’s expression suggested it could be a big deal. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, everyone was talking about what it was. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Someone asked, “Is the company going to fail?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
One person said mysteriously, “my uncle knows a shareholder of the company. He said that someone paid a high price for stocks in those days. The company may have to change hands.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After hearing the important news, the discussion intensified. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We all thought about the future for ourselves. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t care. I just started emailing clients who had consulted me. I greeted them and asked about the decoration. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After all, no company wanted me. So no matter who was the leader of the company, I would work here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The meeting lasted all morning. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I met Daniell in the canteen at noon. He was very serious. When I asked him what the meeting was about, he just smiled and said “daily meeting”. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell didn’t say anything throughout lunch. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He just ate. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He didn’t eat much and ended up pouring out most of it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was very different from Daniell’s style. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw him throw out the food and couldn’t help asking, “is something wrong?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Nothing.” Daniell raised his hand and touched my hair. “I have something to do temporarily. I may not be able to have dinner with you in the evening. You remember to eat on time. The new year is still long. Don’t work overtime. You’re tired.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although Daniell usually cared about me, he seldom said so much. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He seemed to be leaving. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at him suspiciously and wanted to ask him more, but he had already turned away and didn’t wait for me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because I was not busy in the New Year, I got off work on time. When I left, I went to Daniell’s office and knocked on the door. No one answered. I pushed the door again and found that it was locked. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He should have no job on the first day of the new year. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I left with some doubts. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I ate alone in the evening. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt strange in my heart, so I looked at my cell phone from time to time to see if Daniell had sent me a message. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was always in touch with me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t get Daniell’s text message until 11:00. I wanted to send him a message but it was too late. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He may have fallen asleep. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I hesitated, the phone rang. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell’s name was on the bright screen. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I quickly picked up the phone and said, “Hello.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But there was silence over the phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I added, “Hello.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I heard a light sigh clearly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was suddenly nervous. I asked, “Daniell, are you there?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, I’m here.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I called his name and Daniell spoke. His voice was a little hoarse and low and not as soft and clear as usual. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What’s the matter with you?” I cared about him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was silent for a long time before he said, “June, have you ever thought about leaving here?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Leave the country. We go to live in other countries.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t know why Daniell said that and said, “I’m alone, so I can go anywhere, but you have your parents. If you go abroad, they…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I will leave with them.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But they live here. They can’t speak a foreign language after going abroad, so they will be very lonely.” I paused and realized that something had happened to Daniell. I asked him, “what happened?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was silent for a long time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then Daniell said, “I want to leave here and ask if you would like to leave with me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I never thought about leaving York. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although I didn’t have many friends, I was familiar with the life here. It took courage to step into a strange environment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t answer and Daniell gave a wry smile, “you don’t want to, do you? As expected, I’m not attractive enough.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
