In the bustling world of TelcoTech, a tale of love, growth, and authenticity unfolds between two individuals, Hazel and Oliver. 
Hazel, a woman of grace and kindness, carries a heavy burden!  A boyfriend named Mark, incarcerated for selling stolen goods. Despite his choices, Hazel's compassion keeps her bound to him, preventing her from breaking free. Her heart's loyalty is matched by her involvement in the tech company's vibrant atmosphere, where her interactions with colleagues offer a glimpse of her character.

Enter Oliver, a colleague whose paths cross with Hazel's within the company's innovative corridors. Their interactions evolve from casual conversations to an unspoken understanding that defies the bounds of friendship. As they delve into deeper conversations, their connection becomes a refuge from the demands of work, and the moments they share begin to carry the weight of mutual attraction.

Hazel's internal struggle becomes apparent as she continues to visit Mark in prison. Her dedication to him is a reflection of her kindness, but as she contemplates her own future, the realization dawns that their bond no longer serves either of them. Mark's letters dwindle, echoing a distance that has grown between them. One rainy morning, as Hazel receives a sunflower from Oliver, she takes a step towards acknowledging her feelings for him.

Chapter 1

Hazel and Oliver's journey began within the vibrant corridors of TelcoTech, a bustling telecom company at the forefront of innovation. Their paths converged in the most ordinary yet serendipitous way, setting the stage for a tale of mutual attraction, personal growth, and interconnected projects that would bind them together.

Hazel, with her graceful demeanor and kind heart, had been with TelcoTech for several years. Her expertise lay in project management, and her dedication to her work was evident in the way she seamlessly navigated the complex web of assignments and deadlines. Colleagues admired her for not only her professional prowess but also her warmth and ability to create a sense of community within the fast-paced environment.

Oliver, on the other hand, was a relatively new addition to the TelcoTech family. His background in software development brought a fresh perspective to the company's ongoing projects. His enthusiasm and determination were contagious, quickly earning him a reputation as someone who wasn't afraid to take on challenges head-on.

It was during a weekly department meeting that their paths first crossed. The room buzzed with energy as managers presented updates on various ongoing projects. Hazel, her notebook open and pen at the ready, listened intently, her mind already organizing tasks and priorities.

As the meeting progressed, Oliver's voice rang out, offering insights and suggestions that caught Hazel's attention. His ideas were innovative, his understanding of the technology deep. She watched as his colleagues leaned in, captivated by his words. Their gazes briefly met, and for a fleeting moment, time seemed to pause.

After the meeting, curiosity led Hazel to introduce herself. Hi, I'm Hazel from the project management team. I couldn't help but be impressed by your ideas during the meeting.

Oliver smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. Thanks, Hazel. I'm Oliver, a software developer. It's great to meet someone who appreciates the intersection of technology and management.
