"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?

THREE DAYS LATER…
"One step at a time. Yes, that's right…you got this Arle."
Her eyes were glued to mine as she kept taking baby steps. I didn't mind it one bit because it was a huge progress.
Not only had she started moving her body but now she could walk gradually. Although she couldn't speak, all she could do was look and nod.
When her legs gave way in a manner that would make her fall, I quickly put my arms around her waist and held her. Our faces were slightly close as her eyes went wide due to the shock of nearly falling down.
"I got you. I always got you okay." I reassured her.
When I was certain she was steady, I held her hands again and encouraged her to keep walking and she did.
"That's right, just a little more…" I coaxed her forward.
