staff members regarding the revitalization project.”
    “Sounds great, Jane. Is there anything else?”
    “Yes, but not pertaining to work. It has been a month since you last sent roses to your wife at North Atlanta High School. Would you like for me to send the customary red dozen to her today?”
    “That would be perfect, Jane. I don’t know what I would do without you.”
    I slightly turned my body and motioned to go to my office which was only a few feet away. Before I could, Jane interrupted me.
    “Oh, Mr. Malone, there is one other thing I wanted to discuss with you.”
    “Yes,” I said stopping in my tracks.
    “I came up with a few ideas for you and your wife’s fifth-year anniversary. I think you’re going to like one of the concepts because it’s different yet original.”
    “Jane, you’re the greatest. Let’s talk about it later.”
    She smiled and blushed all at once and went back to looking at her computer screen. Meanwhile, I entered my well-cleaned office and took a seat in my plush chair near the window. Outside my window, I saw traffic backed up for miles on I-285 which was normal in Atlanta. Before I could do anything else, in strolled my colleague, Sebastian.
    “So, there is the man of the hour I’ve been looking for,” he said calmly walking in and taking a seat on the edge of my desk.
    “Well, now you’ve found him,” I said in a confident way. “I assumed you received the notification about the eight-thirty meeting?”
    “Yeah, I received the memo from Mr. Bradshaw already. Since we have a few minutes, let me tell you about my gorgeous date this past weekend.”
    “Come on, Sebastian,” I said cutting him off. “When are you going to try and settle down?”
    “When there are no more beautiful women in Atlanta,” he said proudly. “Seriously, Aaron, maybe when I’m fifty years old.”
    “Fifty!”
    “Okay, maybe forty-five. And speaking of beautiful women, the buzz around the office this morning is that the consultant Mr. Bradshaw hired for the revitalization project is a knockout.”
    “Yeah, that’s what I heard already too.”
    “Well, that shouldn’t matter to you one bit,” he said standing up. “You’re happily married, right?”
    “That’s right, Sebastian.”
    “Good,” he said straightening up his tie. “That will leave more room for me to get better acquainted with her.”
    “There you go with your antics again.”
    “Anyway, Aaron, your plate is full even if you weren’t happily married. You’ve been assigned one of the biggest projects in our firm’s history, the twins’ birthday is right around the corner, and your fifth-year anniversary is in two months.”
    “Exactly.”
    “Oh, come on Aaron, you’re so close to mastering the five-year itch and you don’t even know what to get your wife for the big anniversary.”
    “The five-year itch,” I said inquisitively. “What’s that?”
    “They say if a married man can go the first five years of marriage without cheating, then he never will.”
    “Well, leave it to a single man to come up with something like that. So, what do you suggest I do for my wife on our fifth-year anniversary?”
    Before Sebastian could give an answer to my question, the phone which sat on my desk disturbed our conversation. There was a sweet and kind voice on the intercom.
    “Mr. Malone are you there?”
    “Yes, Jane.”
    “I just wanted to inform you your eight thirty meeting starts in five minutes.”
    “Thanks, Jane. We are on the way out.”
    Sebastian and I put our manly conversation on hold as we made our way to conference room A. The conference room which could hold almost fifty people was located on the floor below us. We opted to take the stairs instead of dealing with the busy elevator.
    When we arrived in the conference room, the place was buzzing with noise as everyone greeted their colleagues. I scanned the room which had a large rectangular cherry table placed in the middle of the floor. There were
