Her Engagement

Valentine's Day at the Office

As Stevia hurried out of Elsa’s office, trembling with fear, she nearly collided with Lisa, who was leisurely engrossed in her phone in her own office. The sudden sound of heavy breathing caught Lisa's attention, prompting her to look up. She saw Stevia, her eyes glistening with tears, and instantly felt a pang of concern.

"What's wrong, Steve?" Lisa asked, her voice laced with worry.

Stevia took a deep breath and slumped into a chair behind her desk, trying to steady her racing heartbeat. "I went to Miss Emeritus's office to deliver a Valentine's gift. I knocked several times, but there was no response. When I finally entered, she didn’t notice me at first. I stood there calling her name for a few moments before she finally turned around. I was so excited to wish her 'Happy Valentine,' but when I presented the gift, she yelled at me with such fury. I’ve never seen her so angry. Her tone was terrifying."
