Selena stared at the figure in the doorway warily. There was nothing suspicious about his appearance, but still, his presence made her feel uneasy.
"Sorry if I startled you," the man said politely. "I'm just here to deliver this."
Selena observed the man as he took a small envelope from his jacket. She didn't take it right away, still confused about what was actually happening.
"Who sent you?" she asked.
The man gave a faint smile. "Sorry, I can't reveal his name. But he's someone who truly appreciates your hard work."
Selena eyed the envelope with doubt. "What is this?"
"It's just a token of appreciation. You'll understand once you open it."
After the man handed over the envelope, he took a step back toward the door. "I'm just delivering a message. Stay motivated."
Without waiting for a response, he left, leaving Selena with the envelope in her hand.
With mixed emotions, Selena opened the envelope. Inside was only a small card with neat handwriting:
"Your hard work has never gone unnoticed. Thank you for always giving your best."
Selena froze. Who sent this? Why go through such a mysterious way of delivering it?
But before her thoughts could go any deeper, her phone vibrated. A message came in from an unknown number:
"There's nothing to fear. Just wanted to see you smile."
Selena stared at the screen of her phone, confused. The message was short, but it felt sincere. Who could it be from? And why did she feel like she was being watched all this time?
