YellowPie
Valery is a 40-year-old woman who has been working in the sales department for over three years. Her manager, Prince, is a 46-year-old man known for his permanently serious expression, the kind that makes most people too intimidated to approach him.
Strangely, though, that same cold demeanor seems to draw even more attention. In the office, he constantly finds himself the center of lingering glances from both men and women alike... and Valery is no exception.
She has been secretly attracted to him for years, allowing herself only small, subtle attempts at flirting while doing her best to maintain a professional and natural working relationship. She never wanted to make things awkward between them, especially since he never seemed to notice... or perhaps simply chose not to.
But everything changed the night before Valentine's Day.
After getting lost on her way home, Valery happened to see him stepping out of a flower shop, holding a large bouquet of red roses in his hands...
...and for the first time, her heart sank at the thought that they might not be meant for her.
