LOVE BIRDS

As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, Ace and Lucian's love for each other continued to grow. They would often be seen driving together in Ace's private car, escorted by his security team.

Their love was evident to everyone in the company, and it seemed to bring a new level of joy and excitement to the workplace. Ace would often surprise Lucian with thoughtful gifts and presents, and she would light up with delight whenever he did.

The gossip mill in the company was abuzz with rumors and speculation about the couple's relationship. "Did you hear that Ace bought Lucian a diamond necklace?" someone would whisper. "I heard he took her on a romantic getaway to Paris," someone else would chime in.

But despite the gossip and speculation, Ace and Lucian didn't seem to care. They were too busy enjoying each other's company, and basking in the love and happiness that they shared.

As the months passed, the company seemed to transform around them. The atmosphere became more relaxed and friendly, and people seemed to be smiling more. It was as if Ace and Lucian's love had brought a new level of positivity and energy to the workplace.

Even the company's performance seemed to improve, with profits soaring and new projects taking off. It was as if Ace and Lucian's love had brought a new level of success and prosperity to the company.

And at the center of it all were Ace and Lucian, the happy couple who had brought so much joy and love to those around them. They were a reminder that love and happiness can conquer all, and that even in the most unexpected places, true love can flourish.

As the months went by, Lucian continued to regularly call her friends Alicia and Jenny, catching up on each other's lives. However, Lucian couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt for not sharing her own news with them. She had never discussed her relationship with Ace with them, and it was starting to feel like a heavy secret to keep.

Jenny, on the other hand, was thrilled to share her own news with Lucian. "Girl, I'm so excited! I finally landed a job at that marketing firm I've been applying to," Jenny exclaimed. Lucian was overjoyed for her friend and congratulated her on her success.

Alicia also had some exciting news to share. "Lucian, I've met someone," she said, her voice barely containing her excitement. "His name is Alex, and he's been taking care of me like a queen. I think I might be falling in love with him."

Lucian was happy for her friend, but she couldn't help feeling a pang of guilt for not sharing her own news. Ace had requested that she keep their relationship private, but it was hard not to feel like she was hiding a part of herself from her friends.

As the conversation came to a close, Lucian promised to meet up with her friends soon. She hung up the phone, feeling a mix of emotions. She was happy for her friends, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that she was keeping a secret that was eating away at her.
