Hi, Sam.k.
You must capitalize the first word of each sentence, and "do" and "not" must be separated. Place the period within the quote marks in this instance. Use spaces after periods. |

It is correct, and the meaning is not strange.
Sally, you and Eric have a wonderful relationship now because you work together. Do not expect anything after you leave, though. He will simply move on to someone else. |

| "Do not expect anything after you leave" , what does it means. Does it means that you do not expect anything better after your/his leaving ? |

You should not expect to receive anything (in relation to whatever it is you are about to leave) when you eventually do leave.

Hi Waiyin,
"Do not expect anything after you leave." could be:
1. Temporal: Do not expect anything that will happen after you leave (as you may want it to). For example: Do not expect anything such as John will come back, etc., after you leave.
2. Conditional: You can expect nothing if you have left. For example: Do not expect anything such as you can go out with me again, etc., after you leave. |

| Usage of 'sold out' | "tried and true"? |
