Chapter VII: Secret Admirer

The progress I achieved through my therapy sessions is remarkable, nevertheless, Kye continues to linger in my thoughts despite feeling much improved. My frustration causes me to let out a sigh while heading towards my workplace building.

I've been eyeing this corporation for awhile and after being mentally stable I immediately sent a resume and got hired immediately after my successful interview afterwards.

I begin by familiarizing myself with the ongoing projects, and conducting an initial meeting with the team members to understand their roles and responsibilities. I also review the project timelines, budgets, and deliverables to ensure that everything is on track.

As the Project Manager, I ensure effective communication between team members and stakeholders. I also identify potential risks and work with the team to develop effective mitigation strategies. I encourage team members to be proactive and share their ideas and concerns, and I prioritize their development through training and support.

Throughout the project, I monitor the progress of key tasks, ensuring that they are completed on-time, to-budget, and to-specification. I also ensure that any issues that arise are quickly and effectively resolved.

At the end of each project, I lead a post-project review to identify areas for improvement and celebrate success. I use these insights to optimize processes and implement best practices for future projects.

Overall, I am dedicated to ensuring the success of every project through effective planning, coordination, and leadership.

Although it can be challenging, engaging in this task presents a valuable chance to extend my expertise in the field of business. Additionally, as I have aspirations of starting my own business, this undertaking can serve as a sort of practice run for me.

As I work only 12 hours a day, taking art commissions is something I do as well. For me, the ideal time to paint is at night when I can achieve a serene mindset and tap into heightened inspiration.

Upon completing my assigned duties, I was approached by the security guard of the company who presented me with a large bunch of pink tulips accompanied by a message expressing congratulations on my new job and delight in seeing me happy once more. The note was signed off with loving wishes from an unknown admirer, hoping to meet up with me in the near future.

I stood there, bewildered and unsure of what he meant. Who could have taken a fancy to me here? I was just a newcomer, and I had barely spoken to anyone.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and curiosity. Who was this secret admirer? Was it someone from work or someone I knew outside of work? I couldn't wait to find out.

I thanked the guard and made my way back to my desk. I couldn't concentrate on anything else; my mind was consumed by thoughts of who this mystery person could be. I tried to narrow down the possibilities, but there were so many people it could be.

As the day went on, I received a few more gifts from my secret admirer, including a box of chocolates and a handwritten note. The notes were always short but sweet, filled with compliments and encouragement. They always end with the same words: "Hope to see you soon enough."

The gifts continued to arrive over the next few days, each one more thoughtful than the last. They varied from small things like a cupcake to more extravagant gifts like a piece of jewelry. Each time I received a gift, it made me smile and feel appreciated.

I decided to do some investigating to try and figure out who my secret admirer was. I asked around at work, but no one seemed to know anything. I even tried to narrow it down based on the handwriting on the notes, but the writing was always different.

"I see you've caught the eye of someone already," he said, his tone laced with sarcasm. "Lucky you."

I gave him a wary look and turned away, not sure what to make of his comment. Was he just messing with me, or was there really someone interested in me?

As the days went by, I began to realize that there was indeed someone who seemed to be watching me. Every so often, I would catch a glimpse of them out of the corner of my eye, but when I turned to look, they would be gone.

It was unnerving, to say the least, especially given the fact that I'm new. But at the same time, it was also kind of exciting. I silently wish and hope it was Kye but whoever this person was, they had taken an interest in me for some reason, and I couldn't help but be curious.

As I continued to navigate life in the corporation, I found myself constantly on edge, wondering when I might run into my mysterious admirer. And when it finally happened, I was completely unprepared for what came next.

I went home with a lot on hand and was greeted by Harper. "Ohhh. What do you got there?" She asked as she took some of the gifts out of my hand.

"Gifts from a secret admirer. Feel free to eat anything you like." I replied as I stepped inside. I was about to go inside my room when she suddenly gasp making me shock.

I turned around to look at her but she just told me it was nothing and had hid something on her back.

"What are you hiding on your back?" I asked as I step closer to her which made her take a step backwards.

"It was nothing I swear!" She said making me glare at her.

"You're lucky I have a lot of commissions right now but if I weren't that busy I'd look into that more." I said walking out and heading towards my room.

As the night went on, I found myself getting lost in my artwork. The hours flew by, and before I knew it, it was already late in the evening.

I looked at the clock and realized that I had been working on my commissions for almost six hours straight. My stomach growled, reminding me that I had skipped dinner.

I got up from my desk and stretched my legs, feeling slightly dizzy from sitting for so long. I made my way to the kitchen, hoping to find something to eat.

I opened the fridge, but it was near empty. There was only a half-eaten sandwich and some leftover soup. I sighed and decided to just have the sandwich. As I was about to take a bite, my phone buzzed.

Harper stated that she had gone out to run an errand for work, and I advised her to stay safe before enjoying a bowl of mixed fruits as my dinner.
