More about my life

A FEW HOURS LATER...

**RING-RING** "Presidency of Jensen Group, Sarah speaking" I answer the phone as I email Mr. Jensen the menu for the board lunch "Miss Sarah, it's Joe, you have a delivery in the lobby, and you need to sign for it" Joe, the lobby security guard, answers back and I sigh, of course, I need more delays today "I'll be right down, thanks, Joe" I answer "Sure, Ma'am" he answers and I hang up.

"Where are you going?" Mr. Jensen asks as soon as I stand up "I've to go down to the lobby to receive a package, I'll be right up, sir" I answer "Hurry up" he says and I almost sprint to the elevator.

I smile as I look at the vase full of red roses on the desk of the lobby "Miss Adams?" a man asks and I nod "Sign here" he says as he hands me an electronic pad, I sign "There you go" he says, pointing to the vase as I hand him the electronic pad "Thank you" I say as I grab the vase and head back upstairs.

I notice a white envelope between the flowers, but I don't have to look at it, because I know from who this flowers are from, I smile, he is always so retailer, so romantic, I can't wait for him to propose his love, to kiss me, and for me to melt on his arms.

My desk is small and full of work, I need the space, so I am going to leave the flowers in the table of the small waiting area in the office, that way I can admire the gesture of my Romeo from my desk for the rest of the day, I reach for the envelope, and take the note out --Bringing some light into your rainy day, with love, J.-- I smile, Mr. Howard is always finding a way to make my day better, he knew I was having a terrible day thanks to my boss, and he didn't only tamed the lion, he brightens up my day with flowers, that's why I love him so much, why I want him to come, and tell me that he loves me, but I don't know why is he taking so long.

"Flowers?" Mr. Jensen asks and I nod with a smile plastered on my face, I will not allow him to ruin my mood again "That's why you have been in La-La Land, well, Miss Adams, don't allow love to keep you too distracted, we have the board meeting coming up, and I want you to make sure everything is ready" he says as he turns around and walks back to his office, I frown, I thought he would be mad, because I lost almost 6 minutes, just to go get flowers...NO! Sarah, don't think about it, be happy he didn't shout at you, and keep enjoying the gift from your loved one.

"Sarah, I have a proposal for...who got you flowers?" Mr. Howard asks as he enters to the office, I look at him with a huge smile on my face "Are you going to tell me or do I have to guess?" he asks and I sigh, once again, today is not the day "I don't know, like all the other times the present doesn't have a sender, just a receiver" I answer "You must suspect of someone" he says "No idea, but I hope he shows his face soon, but you said you have a proposal for something?" I ask "Yes, I received the proposal for Major Park's project, and I need Philip to revise it, so we can start working on it" he answers ignoring my indirect, I sigh, yep, today is not the day he proposes "I'll give it to him" I say as I grab the file "Thank you" He adds as he exits the office.

**BUZZ-BUZZ** I sigh as I grab the phone "Mr. Jensen" I answer "I am meeting with the people of Roman Beach tomorrow, why isn't the proposal on my desk?" he asks and I frown as I look at my task list, I curse in my mind "Exactly, I told you to not allow love or heartbreak to be a distraction, Miss Sarah" He says and I sigh "I'm sorry, Mr. Jensen, it will not happen again" I say as I fetch the Roman Beach project file "No excuses, just bring it to me" he says and hangs up, I place the phone back on the base and head to his office. "Miss Sarah" Mr. Jensen calls and I look at him "We don't have time for mistakes, please keep your head in the game, we have a lot of work to do, you don't have time to be distracted, please keep your personal life out of your work life" he says as he opens the file, I sigh "Is there anything else you need?" he asks "No, Sir, I'll retire now" I answer as I head out of his office.

I drop myself on the couch, today has been the longest day in my life. First, Mr. Jensen's terrible mood, a mood he decided to share with me by giving me impossible tasks to accomplish, and for a second there I thought my day was going to get better when I received the flowers from Mr. Howard, for a second there, I thought that he was going to open his heart to me, but like all the other times, I was disappointed, which didn't made my day any better **SIGH** I am starting to believe that James Howard might not be my secret admirer, I mean who spends 6 years in secrecy? Doesn't he notice that he got me, that I am all in for him, why doesn't he notice? Simple, because he is not my secret admirer, which is great, I spent 6 years of my life in love with a man who doesn't even notice me.

But if James is not my secret admirer then who is? I can't picture someone else been my admirer, I seriously can't **SIGH EVEN HARDER**, but I am too tired now, I can't and will not think about this now, because I have a busy weekend ahead of me, the Board members arrive tomorrow, I have to make sure there is a car to pick each one of them up from the airport, that their rooms, food, and everything else is ready, and of course I need to finish setting up the reports for them, so I don't have time to think about who is my secret lover, why I believed that Mr. Howard was my secret admirer, much less to think why I spent 6 years believing he was my secret love,I have a lot of work to do, and if I don't want Mr. Jensen to have my head on Monday morning.
