"Mrs. Sweeting. Someone sent a gift to you," Lecia's assistant stands by the door of her office.
"Who would that be?" She asked curiously then the young woman brought a bouquet of 200 white roses to her desk.
Lecia stared in awe of the roses and looked for a note of some sort.
"A secret admirer perhaps. It doesn't have a name on the card," Her assistant says with a smirk.
She was hoping that her boss would tell her some tea but Lecia just ignored her, too busy on the romantic gesture that a special someone gave her.
After reading the card, her phone rang and she looked at the caller id, already knowing who it was.
Lecia gave her assistant a signal to leave her office before answering the call.
"Happy birthday, baby." Her sweet boyfriend's voice filled her ear.
"And here I was starting to think you forgot," She smiled, standing in front of the window.
"Me? Never."
She could see his smile even when he was present.
"Thank you, I appreciate the gift. And Yes, I will go out with you tonight." She said.
"Perfect, I have everything set up. Just be ready when I come to get you."
"See ya later." Lecia hung up the phone and leaned back into the chair.
She was having a hectic day, signing paper work and going over essays but hearing her boyfriend's voice put her at ease.
Lecia was a young corporate boss, working in a man's company (basically their world) and had show to that she was worth being at the table just like any of the men there. So she lived a mysterious life separate from her career out of protection because if you showed any sign of femininity in the workplace, you would be looked as weak. But mostly it was protection for her relationship with Steve.
They met about a year ago and nobody at her job knows about him. Lecia wanted to take things slow and gladly he didn't mind. The two had a special connection but she always wondered why he was so secretive. Nevertheless, she still chose to be with him because he made her feel good and allowed her to be free.
When it was time to leave work, she said bye to all of her employees as they wished her a happy birthday then left to go home and enjoy the rest of her night with Steve.
