Renee started her Monday like every other day. She made coffee and sat down at her desk. She checked her email and planned her tasks for the day. The office was quiet, and everyone worked at their computers. Renee began her first meeting at nine o'clock.
蕾妮和平常一样开始了她的星期一。她煮了咖啡，在办公桌前坐下。她查看邮件，安排了一天的工作。办公室里很安静，大家都在电脑前工作。九点钟，蕾妮开始了她的第一场会议。
At eleven, she got back to her desk to finish a report. She typed quickly because the report was due that day. Suddenly, someone knocked on the glass door of the office. Renee looked up and almost dropped her coffee cup. A familiar face smiled at her through the glass.
十一点，她回到座位上，要完成一份报告。她打字很快，因为这份报告今天就要交。突然，有人敲了敲办公室的玻璃门。蕾妮抬起头，差点把咖啡杯摔掉。一张熟悉的面孔隔着玻璃对她微笑。
It was Declan. He worked in her department before. He moved to another city two years ago. Renee jumped up and walked to the door fast. "Declan! Why are you here?" she asked with a big smile. "I'm in town for a conference," he said. "I wanted to say hello."
是德克兰。他以前在她的部门工作。两年前，他搬到了另一座城市。蕾妮一下子跳起来，快步走到门口。“德克兰！你怎么来了？”她笑得很开心地问。“我来这儿参加一个会议，”他说，“想来跟你打个招呼。”
They hugged, and Renee brought him inside the office. Her coworkers looked up from their computers. "Everyone, this is Declan. He sat right there before," Renee said. Declan waved at the team and laughed at the memory. Renee's manager came over and shook his hand too.
他们拥抱了一下，蕾妮把他带进办公室。同事们从电脑前抬起头来。“大家看，这是德克兰。他以前就坐在那儿，”蕾妮说。德克兰向团队的人挥挥手，想起往事，笑了起来。蕾妮的经理也走了过来，同他握了握手。
They talked about old projects and funny memories from before. Declan told them about his new job in the other city. Renee almost forgot about her report during the visit. After twenty minutes, Declan checked his watch. "I have to go, but let's have dinner tonight," he said.
他们聊起以前的项目和过去的趣事。德克兰跟大家讲了他在另一座城市的新工作。蕾妮差点忘了她的报告。二十分钟后，德克兰看了看手表。“我得走了，不过今晚我们一起吃饭吧，”他说。
"I'd love that," Renee said, and she wrote down his number. Declan waved goodbye and walked out through the glass door. Renee sat back down and smiled at her screen. She finished her report faster than she expected.
“我很乐意，”蕾妮说，写下了他的电话号码。德克兰挥手告别，穿过玻璃门走了出去。蕾妮坐回座位上，对着屏幕笑了。她完成报告的速度比预想的还要快。
