"Your boss doesn't deserve you," Clifford revealed. "Why are you telling me all this?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Because I want you for myself. You're the woman of my dreams." Compared to how he behaved when he came to deliver stuff to me, he was very blunt now. "What if I don't like you back?" "I'll wait, after all, I'm good at that." He didn't look fazed. "Why me? I don't even own a business of my own." I told him. "You don't need to own a business, Arleen. It's just you I need." "What do you need me for?" "I need you to be my woman, that's all." He answered. **** Arleen Theodore is a secretary who is in love with her boss, Damion Clinton, but he doesn't love her back although he's aware but acts ignorant. Whereas, Clifford Edson, Arleen's delivery guy secretly loves her and tries to find any chance he gets to deliver things to her. BUT when the boss comes in contact with the delivery guy, things go haywire…. could it be that the delivery guy brought out mixed feelings from Damion towards Arleen? Or is the delivery guy Damion Clinton's untold truth?
~{ARLEEN'S POV}~

I watched him with great burden in my chest as he walked away from me.
It was difficult to let him go but I had to so I could get my life together.
Looking down at the bouquet of flowers in my hands, I smiled sadly as tears filled my eyes.
Was I making the right decision by taking a break from him and everything?
Was I being unfair?
Lifting my gaze up, he was gone…
The longer I stood there, the more my heart ached for him.
"Oh God," I sighed in regret.
With a heavy heart, I dragged my feet back to Clifford's ward.
Once I got in, I found him already seated on his bed and all alone.
He faced me on hearing the door opening and frowned slightly.
"Are you alright?" he inquired.
I remained standing at the door side as I watched him. They had removed the bandages from his head and arms but some remained at his ribs, abdomen and legs.
