Chapter 174: Cared For
The moment I stepped into the office, the same scene greeted me as it had for the last week. A massive bouquet of flowers and a beautiful crystal jar that contained my favorite chocolate-covered almonds.
My lips curved up into a small smile. I quickly ran up to the bouquet to look for today’s note. A small piece of pink paper was still between the flowers. I reached in and pulled it out, quickly unfolding it.
[You’re always on my mind]
I ran my fingers across the small piece of paper, taking in the familiar sight of Christian’s handwriting.
Today’s note was a lot more romantic than the previous ones. Usually, it was cryptic messages like "Soon" or "I’m Trying".
I brushed my finger across the words before folding the note back up and placing it into my desk drawer with the others.
As I sat down in my chair, I couldn’t help but glance over at the pocket door that led to Christian’s office. It felt like forever since I’ve last stepped through that door. A sense of emptiness rose within me every time I looked at that door.
It’s been so long since I’ve seen him last...
Getting up in the morning has been a lot less stressful for me every day, and I even found myself looking forward to seeing what kind of bouquet I would receive each day.
Maybe I should go say something to him?
It was the first time I had thoughts to pay him a visit. I could at least say thank you for the flowers, snacks, and lunch that he sends me every day.
