Love Deferred (Andrei Roxas ans Fides Mondragon Story)

chapter 33: Love is on the air

Fides's studio was buzzing with activity as her team worked on various projects. Amidst the hustle and bustle, there was a noticeable change in the atmosphere, primarily driven by Fides's newfound cheerfulness.

Employee 1: (Teasingly) "Fides, you've been in such a good mood lately. We all know why!"

Fides: (Blushing) "Oh, really? And what might that be?"

Employee 2: (Grinning) "Come on, it's not hard to figure out. The beautiful bouquets and delicious meals you've been receiving – someone's clearly spoiling you."

Employee 3: (Laughing) "Yeah, it's like a fairy tale. Every day there's a new surprise."

Fides: (Smiling warmly) "Okay, okay, you got me. But can you blame me? It's hard not to be happy when someone is so thoughtful."

Employee 4: (Curiously) "So, who's the mystery sender? Are you finally going to tell us?"

Fides: (Playfully) "Hmm, I don't know. Maybe I'll keep it a secret a little longer. It adds to the excitement."

Employee 1: (Laughing) "Fair enough. But we're all dying to know who's making you so happy."

Employee 2: (Smiling) "Whoever it is, they're doing a great job. You've been glowing, Fides."

Employee 3: (Nodding) "And it's contagious. The whole studio feels lighter and more positive."

Employee 4: (Thoughtfully) "It's amazing how much one person's happiness can affect the whole team."

Fides: (Gratefully) "Thank you, everyone. It means a lot to me to hear that. I'm really grateful for all the support and positivity here."

The positive energy in the studio was palpable, and it wasn't just Fides who was feeling the effects. The entire team seemed more motivated and engaged, their work benefiting from the uplifting atmosphere.

Employee 5: (To a colleague) "I've been feeling so inspired lately. I think Fides's happiness is really rubbing off on all of us."

Employee 6: (Agreeing) " There's a real sense of camaraderie and enthusiasm in the air."

Employee 7: (Smiling) "And our projects are turning out better than ever. It's amazing what a little positivity can do."

Employee 8: (Nodding) "Yeah, it's like we're all feeding off each other's energy. I love it."

Lunchtime at the Studio

As lunchtime approached, the team gathered in the break room, chatting and laughing. Fides joined them, her smile brighter than ever.

Employee 1: (Playfully) "Alright, Fides, spill the beans. What's for lunch today? Another surprise from your mystery admirer?"

Fides: (Laughing) "Actually, yes. He sent over a gourmet picnic basket. Care to join me?"

Employee 2: (Excitedly) " This sounds amazing."

Employee 3: (Teasingly) "You really hit the jackpot, Fides. We're all a bit jealous."

Fides: (Smiling) "Well, there's plenty to go around. Let's enjoy it together."

The Studio Bonding Over Lunch
