I was ordering a chocolate gift basket from an online store for my fiancée. My boss's address was still saved from last year. Made the payment before I even realized and an hour back received an email from boss with the subject line, “Thanks for the chocolates! 🤗”

But here’s the catch….along with the gift I’d added a note with…a romantic one. Something along the lines of "you make me complete”…and all that.

I couldn’t look him in the eye the next morning. Took the long route from the accounts dept. to my desk just to avoid walking past his office. Sat in a bathroom stall for 10 minutes…talking to myself before our team standup.

He hasn't mentioned the note. I'm choosing to believe he didn't read it. That’s the version of reality I'm living in. But he’s been awkwardly smiling ever since.

TL;DR: Accidentally sent a romantic chocolate gift basket to my boss. Included a "you make me complete" love note. He has been smiling at me awkwardly ever since. I haven't made direct eye contact in 24 hours and I'm not planning to.
