| Plot Summary of Secret Admirer |
|---|
"Delilah has started a new business called Decadence. It is a boutique of sexy lingerie, scented candles, chocolates and other classy items to enhance a sensual experience. Soon after her boutique opens, she receives a postcard which says "You have a secret admirer". Delilah, her shop assistant Tizz and her roommate Jesse study and analyze the card trying to figure out who the sender might be.
Dan saw a newspaper article about the opening of Delilah's shop and is so taken by her photograph, he sends the anonymous postcard. But Dan is so busy with his e-commerce business which is about to expand, he doubts he will ever get to meet the object of his admiration. Matt, Dan's best friend, notices Dan's interest in Delilah's photo, so, he decides to visit Delilah's shop. He asks Delilah for a date and soon has Delilah in his bed. But Delilah still wonders who sent the postcard and has taken to carrying it with her. She tries to figure out if it is Matt and tries to see if his handwriting matches the writing on the postcard.
When Dan meets Matt's new girlfriend, he is stunned to realize it is Delilah. Dan wonders if Matt is dating her just to prove again that he is more popular with women than Dan is. Dan starts finding reasons to contact Delilah with the hope that when Matt dumps Delilah, as he usually does with women, Dan will be around for Delilah. Tizz suspects Matt is not sincere and thinks Delilah would get along better with Dan. But when Delilah recognizes Dan's handwriting on the same day she discovers Matt's infidelity, things do not turn out as Dan hoped."
