CHAPTER 13

Vanya's POV:

As I was packing up my bag to leave the office for the day, my secretary came into my office carrying a bouquet of red roses. They looked huge, tens of roses all clamped together and tied with a pink string in shiny paper.

"What's that for?" I asked, turning to face her.

"These came in for you." She walked up to me and handed the bouquet over. I reached out and hesitantly took it from her. The heady scent of red roses hit me hard, making me hold my breath.

A note was attached to the roses. I took it out and read it. "Have a wonderful evening, Miss Jacob." The note read, from Roman Stephens.

I shook my head, a small smile playing on my lips. Roman, of course I remember him from the party. But sending me roses after just one meeting, that's surprising to say the least.

"Should I get rid of them?" Tammy asked, watching me with curious eyes.

"No, don't worry." I said, picking up my purse. "There's no need for that. I'll take them home with me."

"Oh," She gasped in surprise.
