CHAPTER 25: TIME TO GO
That day, Danny is about to leave the training ground after their training session. Then, he saw Isla is there waiting for someone.
"Did you see Sébastian?" asked Isla. Danny just pointed at the locker room before walked away. Later, Haller came.
"Hi, babe. Waiting for long?" asked Haller.
"Not really. Let's go for lunch together", said Isla.
"Yeah, let's go", said Haller. Then, they left.
Later on;
Danny is playing PUBG Mobile with her cousin online after done ordering his meals. Then, Haller and Isla walked in the diner.
"Oh, my. He's here too", said Isla.
"Want to go somewhere else?" asked Haller.
"No, I'm fine with that. It's not that I have anything to do with him anymore", said Isla.
"Very well", said Haller. Then, they took a seat.
Meanwhile, Danny realised that Haller and Isla are entering the diner.
"Hey, lads. Guess who having lunch at the same diner as I am right now", said Danny.
"Who, the overpriced striker and your ex-girlfriend?" asked Helena.
"10 points for you, Helena", said Danny.
"Are they following you or what?" asked Hariz.
"Who cares? It doesn't really matter", said Danny.
"If I am you, I already punch those 2 on their face", said Xander.
"Nah, I did it twice on Haller, remember? It's not effective", said Danny.
"You're right. He still an arsehole overprice striker. Do you need back up, bro? Hariz and I can come over there", said Xander.
"Well, don't have to. I'm going to leave after done with my lunch after all", said Danny.
"Okay, bro", said Hariz. Then, after the last game, Danny's meal arrived. After done with lunch, Danny went home.
That weekend;
West Ham is facing Burnley at away. In that match, Danny will not even listed on the team to Burnley. Therefore, he decided to go to Merseyside to visit his grandmother there. His cousins, Amanda, Toni and Helena were there too as Helena was part of Leicester City women's team that faced Liverpool where the match ended with 1-1 draw.
"Danny, let's have some tea here, will you", said Mrs Rossall.
"Yes, grandmother", replied Danny. He then went to the dining room and take a seat besides Helena.
"So, Danny. Are you going to stay with West Ham this winter?", asked Helena.
"Well, if things continued like this, I'll leaving if there is any good offer from other clubs", said Danny.
"I hope either Liverpool or Everton give a good offers so that, you can come and stay with me here", said Mrs Rossall.
"But I hope he stays in London. Me, Hariz and Xander are still there", said Toni.
"Maybe you shall just come to Leicester then. My teammates are admiring you", said Helena.
"Manchester will be the best. I was there too", said Amanda
"Well, no promise there. We'll see about it later on", said Danny.
Nearly 2 months later;
The transfer windows is just being opened. That day, Danny and his teammates are training as usual. Since he scored 4 goals in the match against Newcastle, Danny didn't even being on the match line-up. This had cause him to lose his place in the national team too. Pellegrini told him that the reason is because he thought Danny didn't deserve to be in it the moment he punched Haller. Danny then left Pellegrini's office a day before they were defeated by Leicester City unsatisfied with the decision.
"Want to go and have lunch together, mate?" asked Rice.
"Oh, sure thing. Who else with us?" asked Danny.
"As usual, both of us, our captain Mark and Felipe", said Rice.
"Very well, then", said Danny. Then, after changed clothes and put on his jumper, Danny exited the locker room with Rice, Noble and Anderson. On their way out, they saw Isla is waiting for Haller. Unlike during her time with Danny, Isla will be waiting for Haller everytime after West Ham's training session.
"Where's Sebastian?" asked Isla.
"Go and find him yourself. We ain't his babysitter", said Rice.
"If we are, he might be a great player this season", said Anderson. Isla looked at Danny asking for a bit of mercy.
"Lads, can we go now? I'm hungry", said Danny.
"Fine. Let's go, boys", said Noble. Then, all players walked away.
"You still show some mercy to her, mate. I thought you will be the one that mock her the most", said Rice on their way to the diner.
"Well, it's true that she cheated on me. But still, I'll never forget what she did for me before that. I'm really appreciate it. Besides, she might think I'm jealous to them if I mock or curse them. So, ignoring them is the decision", said Danny.
"Mate, you sound like an old man", said Anderson. Danny chuckled.
"No, mate. I'm just saying what I think. That's all", said Danny. Then, they arrived at the diner.
"So, mate. Have you received any offers so far?" asked Rice after they done ordering their meals.
"Not yet. I guess my reputation is quite bad nowadays, huh", said Danny.
"Don't worry, mate. I'm sure there will be at least a Premier League club that wants you", said Anderson.
"Yeah. But, other teammates might be so sad after you left", said Noble.
"Well, you have Haller, right?" asked Danny.
"And that just make it worst", said Anderson. Danny just chuckled. Later, their meals arrive. After finished their lunch, they left the diner.
Later that night;
Danny arrived at the arena for NXT UK taping. Then, he waited for a while until his cousins; Hariz, Xander and Helena came. Then, they entering the arena together.
"So, mate. Any new offers from any clubs?" asked Hariz.
"Not yet, bro. I don't know if there will be any clubs that want me right now. It's too much of gamble taking a player that only played 12 match with 7 of it I just played for 10-15 minutes in the league so far", said Danny.
"If the only offer you get is from Championship or any 2nd division in Europe, will you accept it?" asked Xander.
"Well, that will be depends on how the club is doing so far. If they're in good condition like Aston Villa, then why not", said Danny.
"Wise decision, bro", said Hariz.
Later after the show is over;
All 3 cousins makes their way to the backstage to meet Toni.
"Nice show, cousin", said Danny before he hugs his cousin.
"Thanks for coming, boys", said Toni.
"Don't mention it, sis. We're family after all", said Xander.
"That's true. Want to hang out later?" asked Hariz.
"Of course I want to. Let's go then", said Toni before the 4 cousins exited the arena. Without Danny realised it, Isla stared at Danny.
"Feeling regret of betraying him?" asked Kay Lee.
"I don't know what you're talking about", said Isla.
"Yeah, right. I can see the way you look at him, Courtney. You still love him, aren't you?" asked Kay Lee.
"No way. He's no fun at all", said Isla.
"No fun, huh. The time of you had a relationship in him, you seems so happy compared to right now", said Kay Lee. Isla just glared at her before walked away.
On the next day;
Danny just changed his clothes after done his training session when he get a message from his agent, Philips: Meet me at my office after you done your training for the day. I have some news for you.
Danny feel excited about it. He then quickly replied: Okay, I'm on my way.
Danny then picked his bag and make his way out from the locker room. He saw Isla was at the outside. Danny just ignored her.
"Danny, wait", said Isla.
"What? I have an appointment right now", said Danny.
"With the doctor? Are you sick?" asked Isla.
"It's none of your business. What the fuck do you want?" asked Danny in returned.
"Just want to ask you where's Sebastian", said Isla. Then, Haller came.
"I'm here", said Haller.
"There he is. Now, will you excuse me? I have to meet someone right now and I'm already late", said Danny. Before either Haller or Isla can't say anything, Danny dashes away.
"Who did he is going to meet actually? He seems rushes", said Isla.
"Who cares? C'mon, baby. Let's go", said Haller. Isla just nodded before they left.
Later;
Danny arrived at Philip's office.
"Ah, Danny. Have a seat", said Philip.
"Okay, mate. What news do you have from me?" asked Danny.
"I have 3 transfer offers from the Premier League clubs for you", said Philip.
"I see. Which team are those?" asked Danny.
"First 2 are the clubs in Manchester; Manchester United and Manchester City", said Philip.
"2 big clubs, huh. Interesting. What is the other one?" asked Danny.
"You won't believe this. It's the league's current 3rd place, Liverpool", said Philip.
"Whoa, really. Damn. Never thought the big clubs still want me despite I'm just playing in 5 match this season", said Danny.
"Well, you had score with total 16 goal this season. Of course they want you", said Philip.
"So, what are they offering me?" asked Danny.
"Well, MU offers £2.4Million with 2 years contract, MC and Liverpool offers £3.6Million with 1 years contract. So, what did you say?" asked Philip.
"Very well. I'm going to choose this", said Danny while pointing on one of the contracts
"Are you sure?" asked Philip.
"Yes, mate", said Danny.
"Very well. Now then, you may signed this document", said Philip. Danny then reads the contract before signed it. Then, Philip takes the contract and faxes it to West Ham and the club that he chose.
"That's all?" asked Danny.
"Yes. I'll keep you update later", said Philip.
"Mate, can we keep this deal as a secret until the press conference day?" asked Danny.
"Sure thing", said Philip.
"Okay, mate. Thanks", said Danny.
"You're welcome", said Philip. Then they shake hand before Danny left.
