The alarm is set perfectly, the door is tightly closed with the lock and latch attached.

Valerie was pensive in a smile that never went away on her lips. From the first time she was introduced to George, a new employee in her division, she fell in love at first sight.

George approached her that afternoon with his signature big smile.“I heard you won the greatest contract of employment this year.”Valerie smiled shyly at George's greeting. Everyone praised her, even though all she did was come and bring files to be signed as ordered by her superior. Valerie herself rejected all the compliments. The goal of this large tender was not based on her efforts, but rather on the efforts of her superiors who negotiated with great effort. What Valerie did was just the finishing touch, preparing all the contracts and letters of agreement, according to her expertise and then making sure that they were all signed.“It's all not just because of me,” replied Valerie sweetly, half shyly.George laughed at that and shrugged. “Whatever it is, you've done it, and I think we deserve to celebrate.”“Celebrate?”“Yes.

It's very, very beautiful.Valerie never thought her date with a man, as far as she can remember, could be this beautiful. She smiled, resting her fingers lightly on her chin, looking up at George who looked very handsome in the dim light.“Aren't you interested in asking anyone before?”George took a sip of his drink, then looked at Valerie meaningfully.“I lost my loved ones, and then tried to heal my own soul.
