　　Turning Down an Offer

　　John： Miss Wang, I’d like to ask you a question if you don’t mind。

　　Miss Wang：Sure, John. Go ahead。

　　John：This may seem a bit sudden and out of left field, but I’d like us to be more than colleagues。

　　Miss Wang：I’ve always thought of you as more than a colleague, John. You’ve always been my friend。

　　John：Maybe I’m not making myself clear. I’ll cut right to the quick. You know, I’m single. I hope you would like to marry me。

　　Miss Wang：You’re right, Ah…This is a bit unexpected. To tell you the truth, I’ve never thought of you that way before。

　　John：Unexpected? Yes. But I’ve had the wish for a long time。

　　Miss Wang：John, thank you for the lovely offer but my feelings for you don’t go beyond friendship。

　　John：I see. Miss Wang, do forgive me。

　　Miss Wang：It doesn’t matter. We are still friends, aren’t we?

　　John：Yes, of course。
