My Neighbor and I

What Is Going On Here?

~Ivy~

I sit beside Mr. McIntyre as that was where he had me sit during the meeting. Also, it was right next to my ex-boss and I was so uncomfortable. My ex- boss chuckled all through the meeting and I know he was chuckling because of how uncomfortable I was. The meeting needed to hurry and end for my sake. I was busy taking notes as I am the secretary, but what happened next, was what I was afraid of. A man's way can never change unless the man wants to change and that guy will never change.

My ex-boss began to move his hands up my dress along the side of my left thigh and leg. I felt him doing that, but i tried to let it go. But, when he had reached where he was not supposed to touch, I had it. I pushed his hand away and got up. I glared at him and shouted, "Stop touching me! You r****t! Leave me the hell alone! You have done nothing but cause me pain and abuse! You need to die!"

I stormed out the room. My ex took a deep breath and just sat there with his head down.

I ran to the elevator and pushed the down button and got on.

I saw my boss rushing after me, but I quickly shut the elevator doors on him before he could get on.

I saw the front door and ran outside to get some fresh air. Unfortunately, it was raining. Well, it looks like I needed the rain, because it was helping to calm me down. I just stood there and took a few deep breaths to calm myself down.

"What was that about? Why did you shout and storm out the room like that? Now you have to explain yourself," I heard my boss shout from behind me.

I have to quit! If this is their partnership company, then I will have to quit immediately. He cannot keep me here! In a place where I feel unsafe and uncomfortable!

I texted my best friend and ignored my boss's question entirely.

"Did you not hear what I asked you? You have to explain yourself because I could lose the partnership because of your behavior!" he shouted.

"I quit! I cannot work here anymore! I will work to pay the salary back within 30 days even if I have to work 3 jobs; I just can't work here anymore! Please stop trying to make me explain what I don't want to share with you!" I shouted, through tears that were mixed in with the rain.

My boss looked at me in shock. He came towards me and I put my hand up to stop him but he didn't listen and he hugged me tightly. "You can tell me. I am your employer. What happened in there? How should I know what to do if you don't tell me?" he asked.

"I have to go. Before I do or say something I will regret it,” I pleaded.

My boss let me go and sighed. "Alright. If you want to take the day off, you can go. But you will not be quitting and that's that. I know you need this job, love," he said. I sighed.

"Thank you for this. Excuse me. I need to grab my things from the office. May I get your key card for the elevator?" I said.

He handed me the key card. Before I can head back inside the building, here comes my ex-boss and my ex walking out with an umbrella and their briefcases.

I hid behind my boss immediately. I feel afraid that my outburst had angered my ex-boss.

"So, you have moved onto another boss? I am not surprised. You are such a slut," my ex says out loud to me.

My boss feels me flinch behind him and he moves so fast that I don't get the chance to hide somewhere else. Next thing I know, my boss has punched my ex hard in the mouth.

"Leave my premises! We will not be doing business with you and we will be suing you! Get out before I get security here to throw you both out!" he shouted.

I ran to grab his hand and check it to see if it is bleeding. It's a little bruised but he seems not to mind at all.

I gently tug him away from them and inside. "Has she told you yet how I was able to be inside her as a man's right towards a woman? How I forced her? How I put pressure on her to give me what I wanted? Which was her virginity?" my ex-boss said proudly.

My ex is shocked! He gets mad and then realizes he never believed me and blamed me for what happened when I tried to tell him what had happened.

"So, you r***d her? So, she had been telling the truth? Why did you do that?" my ex asked.

"Don't you see her? I wanted her and she knows I still want her; but since she refused to give me what I was in need of, I fired her back then. But now, she is here and I know that she must live here. I can continue my yearning to get her. She shouted back there because I was touching her underneath the table," my ex-boss said.

My boss turned to face me and noticed how pale I was becoming and placed his hand across my shoulder.

"He did this to you? Is that why you didn't want to tell me anything?" my boss asked.

I sighed and nodded my head. I looked away in shame and sadness because I felt weak.

"I'm sorry. I feel like this ending was all because of me. If I had just managed to deal with it, you would still have a partnership with them," I apologized.

My boss clenched his fist. He faced me and growled, "No. You will never have to deal with that or him again. I will make sure of that. Believe me."

'Why did I trust him when he said this?' I thought to myself.
