Actually, I understood this customer. It was a new house. He really couldn’t go on living in it.
The house was a villa with a market price of million dollars. A small company like Universe design co. LTD couldn’t afford it at all.
If he brought a lawsuit against us, Universe design co. LTD would not be able to stand in the industry and would soon go bankrupt.
I felt guilty.
After all, it was all because of Henry’s death.
Angie took the coffee and went to the construction site.
I took a taxi to Universe design co. LTD.
When I went in, I found the front desk empty. In the office where I used to work, there were several cubicles with only computers.
It seemed that the designer who sat there before left.
I went to Angie’s office.
I saw a lot of things on her desk as usual.
I walked around and finally got to Daniell’s office.
I put my ear to the door and heard him on the phone. He seemed to be borrowing money.
I could hear his tone was humble.
I felt very sad.
It was all my fault.
I found the card Sherry gave me from my bag and knocked on the door.
When Daniell saw me, he was obviously panicked. I could see his face was very bad. He had dark circles. It seemed that he hadn’t slept well for many days.
He said to me with a wry smile, “June, why are you here?”
I put the card in his hand.”Daniell, there’s 170000 dollars in this bank card. There’s not much money. You take it. My grandma said that Cook Family would put its bonus in this card every year. Now it’s almost the end of the year. It should be soon.”
But Daniell didn’t take my card.
He put the card back in my hand and raised his mouth.”June, even if I have difficulties, I won’t ask you to help me.”
“Daniell.”
I didn’t want to embarrass him, but now what happened at Universe design co. LTD had made him in trouble.
Daniell clapped my hand and said, “I have something to do. I can’t accompany you today. I’m sorry.”
Then he picked up the suit on the hanger and put it on him.
A few weeks ago, this suit suited him well. Now it was a lot looser.
I walked around in empty Universe design co. LTD alone. I was sorry to see those empty tables.
In the evening, when I came home, Sean was at home.
I hid in the guest room alone, trying not to see him.
Later, I lay in bed and fell asleep. I didn’t know how long I slept. I heard my cell phone ring. I picked up my cell phone and answered it.
I put my cell phone by my ear.
“Hello, do you know Daniell?”
It was a young man speaking dialect.
These words awakened me instantly, “I know him!”
I saw it was Daniell’s phone number.
He explained the situation to me. It was basically that Daniell was drunk and his phone had a password set, so he could only call the important person he had set up.
And I was the only important person he set up…
So he called me.
I thought of Daniell’s haggard look when I saw him in the daytime, and I got nervous.
I promised to go there at once.
I hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was 12:20 p. m.
I put on a dress and went out.
I arrived at the gate of the community. Now there was no taxi, and there was no online car appointment.
When I was very anxious, a black car came out of the underground garage and slowly stopped in front of me.
As the window came down, Sean sat in the car and said, “where are you going? I’ll give you a ride.”
Although I didn’t want to, I was more worried about Daniel, so I got into the car.
Daniell was eating in a seafood restaurant.
When I got there in Sean’s car, the parking lot in front of the restaurant was empty.
It seemed that all the guests had gone.
I quickly got out of the car and looked around for Daniell…
In the dark, I heard someone vomiting.
I followed the sound and saw Daniel squatting on the edge of the tree, vomiting at the hole.
I held him and shouted, “Daniell!”
Daniell’s consciousness was a little fuzzy by now. He looked at me. His eyes focused a little and he smiled, “June, why are you here?”
“Daniell, you’re drunk. I’ll take you home.”
“No… I…”
Daniell vomited again.
People who were drunk were very heavy. I squatted down and could hardly hold him.
Daniell puked for a while, but he didn’t wake up at all. He leaned on me and said excitedly, “June, don’t worry. Universe design co. LTD won’t go bankrupt. Today a president said, as long as I drink those ten glasses of wine, he will invest 2. 8 million dollars for me!”
I was very sad to hear what Daniel said.
It was all my fault, wasn’t it?
But he drank desperately!
I knew I couldn’t say that now. I could only say, “Daniell, you’re very good. Universe design co. LTD will get better and better.”
I was just squatting. I couldn’t get up at all.
Sean came to help me put Daniel in the back seat.
The smell of wine quickly spread in the luxurious car. I apologized to Sean, “I’m sorry President Jessop, he’s drunk.”
Sean glanced at me through the rearview mirror and started the car without saying anything.
As soon as the car started, I heard that Daniel was about to puke. I was afraid of soiling Sean’s car, so I went to pick up his puke by hand.
But the thing on my hand was very light as if it was just a few drops of saliva.
By the dim street light, I saw the palm of my hand was a little dark red.
It was blood!
“Daniell!”I got nervous and said to Sean,”President Jessop, can you take us to the hospital?”
The car went on. I didn’t know if Sean would agree.
I took care of Daniell all the way. I fed him water, wiped his blood, and then let him lean on my shoulder and pat him on the back with my hand.
Finally, the car stopped.
I turned around and found out that this was Holy Heart Hospital.
Actually, I wanted to refuse to come here, but I was afraid to delay Daniell’s illness.
But I had to open the door.
Several doctors had been waiting at the gate of the hospital for a long time. As soon as the car stopped, they ran over and put Daniell on a stretcher.
And then sent him to the hospital.
I was trying to follow in but my wrist was caught in the man’s palm. A huge force pulled me, and the next second I bumped into a strong hug.
There was a man’s sullen voice over my head.”He can definitely get the best treatment here. Can you see me now!”
