As she walked into the office to resume her job as a customer service representative in my company, her aura and beauty caught everyone off guard.
The intelligence she displayed in words, body language, and action endeared her to the hearts of the staff, especially the men, in just a month, which I, the Head of the Customer Service Department, was not excluded from.
I was single at the time and considered asking her to date me before other guys got ahead of me, even though I was a bit scared of the outcome of a workplace romance.
I finally mustered the courage after two months, and to my greatest surprise, she agreed to date me almost immediately.
She said she had always liked me too and was hoping I felt the same way about her.
In no time, we became the popular lovebirds in our company, as we were always at each other’s desk at every opportunity, break, or free time we got.
We always went home together after work and spent the weekends with each other.
Ours was the true definition of workplace romance.
