After spending 8 years as housewife, it is hard to go back to work. I worked as a junior bookkeeper in a big company. I tried to keep low key at work. However, there's someone at work made me uncomfortable. I tried to ignore and bear with it as much as possible.
One night, our team were celebrating a colleague birthday at a local restaurant. Our financial manager cornered me outside ladies' bathroom.
"I liked you very much! Let me teach you how to be a woman again!" Then he leaned over, trying to kiss me. The breath out of that filthy mouth made me silk.
When I am about to lose hope, I heard a thud, and that disgusting face has disappeared. Then there's chaos. I saw two people are fighting. All my colleagues are coming over to stop them.
I realised that the other person is our new executive manager for the department the second day. After the chaos, I can still remember he reached out his hand to me with a smile "Hi, Mia, I am Ryan. Nice to finally meet you!"
The two of them made a civilised decision to act like nothing happened. But the news that our new executive manager had a fight with our financial manager for a woman has spread over the company.
Ryan kept doing things to make people confused. He would say hi and even bring coffees to me every morning. I am really terrified by this and even tried to avoid him sometimes. To be worse, there's rumour starting in the company that I got a divorce for Ryan.
The more I avoid him, the more he invades. After one monthly meeting, he invited me for dinner in front of everyone.
"Hi Sarah. Do you have time tonight? Let's have dinner together. I would like to talk to you about some work things."
" Sorry, I am busy tonight, please feel free to ask me through email. I will reply as soon as possible." I escaped the meeting room as fast as I can. But Amy managed to catch me later that day and I can tell she is super curious about our relationship.
"He is my nephew!" I said after one hours torture from Amy, who is the gossip girl of our department.
