The Don's Obsession
After getting ready, I left my room and bumped into Maria.
“Morning, Maria! Has Marco already left?” I asked.
“Good morning, Ma’am. Yes, he left early,” she said.
That stung a little. Not even a “happy birthday” from him. It was becoming clear we weren’t spending the day together. Still, maybe I’d give him a call later to set something up.
I ate breakfast alone, then headed into the office.
The second I walked in, my coworkers surprised me with a loud “Happy Birthday!” It totally caught me off guard—in a good way. There were cakes, warm wishes, and even a few sweet little gifts from some of my closer colleagues.
