CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Osana went to her desk and pushed the button on the phone. “Clarice?”
“Yes?”
“I’m gonna take an early lunch and get myself together.” Osana got the flowers. “I need to relax.”
“Okay, I’ll hold down the fort for you.”
“Thanks.” Osana headed to the door with the flowers when her cellphone rang from her purse. “Goodness.” She got out the phone and checked the screen.

“Jesus, what does he want?” She answered, “Hello?”
“Did you get the flowers?”
Osana gaped at them. “You?”
“Who else?” He chuckled. “You thought they were from your man but got disappointed?”
“Yes. I mean no.” She sniffed the flowers again. “I’m not disappointed they’re from you.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“This was sweet, thanks. I needed a nice surprise today.”
“Really? Having a bad day?”
