Looking at the man’s eyes, I could not help blushing.
I spent the whole New Year in Daniell’s town.
Daniell was very concerned about me these days and his parents were very kind to me.
For the first time, I felt the warmth of a family and parents.
This warmth was different from their indifference to me after I flattered Marlin and Inez.
I could feel Daniell’s parents were good people.
Although we were not sure we were lovers, we were already in love.
As long as we admitted it, it was the truth.
I thought I could be his real girlfriend after an opportunity.
The holiday was over. When I arrived at the company, many colleagues had arrived.
We all talked about the New Year in groups.
I went in alone, and someone greeted me and asked me how my new year was.
This New Year was unprecedented for me.
I thought about it and smiled and said, “Great.”
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?”
“What? Did you visit the parents of vice president?”
Other colleagues gathered around.
Because Daniell said he liked me before, everyone knew about it. They were not too surprised by me or him.
As I hesitated to answer, a voice came from behind the crowd, “what are you discussing?”
It was Daniell.
When he came, all the colleagues gathered around to greet him.
Then they asked him who he had spent the new year with.
At this time, Daniell looked up at me. He smiled softly.
This movement made everyone understand.
Someone complained, “Well, I don’t seem to have a chance.”
“Yes, they have visited their parents. I need to change my goal.”
They complained and went to work.
Daniell came up to me and asked in a soft voice, “what would you like to eat at night?”
“Think about the evening now?”I looked up and blinked at him.
“Or you can say something else.”Daniell squatted down and looked up at me.”I just want to talk to you.”
His words made me blush.
When we were talking, we heard a lot of noise outside the office. It seemed that Brenda had come.
My colleagues all went to greet Brenda.
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.”
With that, she left in a hurry.
But I could hear that her voice was very serious.
When Daniell left, his colleagues came back from the outside to discuss again.
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.
After that, everyone was talking about what it was.
Someone asked, “Is the company going to fail?”
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.”
After hearing the important news, the discussion intensified.
We all thought about the future for ourselves.
I didn’t care. I just started emailing clients who had consulted me. I greeted them and asked about the decoration.
After all, no company wanted me. So no matter who was the leader of the company, I would work here.
The meeting lasted all morning.
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”.
Daniell didn’t say anything throughout lunch.
He just ate.
He didn’t eat much and ended up pouring out most of it.
It was very different from Daniell’s style.
I saw him throw out the food and couldn’t help asking, “is something wrong?”
“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.”
Although Daniell usually cared about me, he seldom said so much.
He seemed to be leaving.
I looked at him suspiciously and wanted to ask him more, but he had already turned away and didn’t wait for me.
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.
He should have no job on the first day of the new year.
I left with some doubts.
I ate alone in the evening.
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.
He was always in touch with me.
I didn’t get Daniell’s text message until 11:00. I wanted to send him a message but it was too late.
He may have fallen asleep.
When I hesitated, the phone rang.
Daniell’s name was on the bright screen.
I quickly picked up the phone and said, “Hello.”
But there was silence over the phone.
I added, “Hello.”
I heard a light sigh clearly.
I was suddenly nervous. I asked, “Daniell, are you there?”
“Well, I’m here.”
I called his name and Daniell spoke. His voice was a little hoarse and low and not as soft and clear as usual.
“What’s the matter with you?”I cared about him.
He was silent for a long time before he said, “June, have you ever thought about leaving here?”
“What?”
“Leave the country. We go to live in other countries.”
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…”
“I will leave with them.”
“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?”
He was silent for a long time.
Then Daniell said, “I want to leave here and ask if you would like to leave with me.”
I never thought about leaving York.
Although I didn’t have many friends, I was familiar with the life here. It took courage to step into a strange environment.
I didn’t answer and Daniell gave a wry smile,” you don’t want to, do you? As expected, I’m not attractive enough.”
