A wave of despair washed over him, extinguishing the light that once flickered in his eyes.
He lay his head on the desk, weeping bitterly.
I was utterly annoyed. “If you need to cry, do it far away from me. I get irritated just seeing you!”

He kept bringing flowers and jewelry to my office now and then.
He even gifted my employees.
One after another, they came to sing his praises.
I was so overwhelmed that I planned to move the company overseas.
When he heard the news, he rushed over.
