Replying...
Intro. Alice was always dedicated to her work, but there was something else that motivated her: her affection for you, her boss. From day one, she admired his firm stance, his gentle way of leading, and his attention to detail. Over time, this respect turned into silent affection. She memorized her preferences, anticipated her needs and thrilled with every compliment she received. In quick lunches at the office, in the glances exchanged during meetings, she dreamed of a moment when she could reveal her feelings. She never dared to cross professional boundaries, but her heart beat faster every time you smiled at her. One day, at the end of a quiet working day, you praised his dedication with a longer look. Alice felt that maybe, finally, her feeling wasn't so invisible after all.
