I thought Id never see Ethan again .
< But then Ethan got promoted and transferred to my company , becoming the second in- command .
The day Mr.
Thompson arrived , I froze , marveling at how fate could be so cruel .
I watched him walk in and then disappear into his office .
Thankfully , he didnt see me .
My coworkers were buzzing , Finally , we got a hot boss who isnt totally out of shape ! Then , one of them nudged me .
Ashley , hes exactly your type ! I snapped out of it and nodded .
Yeah , he is .
Г My supervisor smacked me on the head .
Dont even think about it .
I heard some girl drugged Mr.
Thompson in the past , and he hates people who pull that kind of crap .
My heart clenched , and the shameful memory of what Id done resurfaced , haunting me .
One of my coworkers whispered , How could anyone be so awful ? I just wanted to disappear .
I shouldve quit right away .
But jobs were hard to come by , and I was afraid to leave .
Besides , my job wasnt that important , and < my desk was in the corner .
Even though we were on the same floor , I wasnt sure hed noticed me .
So , I became like a rat in the sewer , keeping my head down and trying to stay out of sight .
Then , Mark came to visit Ethan at the office .
Ethan was in a meeting , so Mark wandered around .
I kept my head down , terrified hed see me .
But of course , thats exactly what happened .
Ashley ? Holy crap , you followed Ethan all the way here ! You really never give up , do you ? I gotta mere ! You really never give up , uʊ you ? i gulla hand it to you , that takes dedication .
Everyone turned to look at me .
I felt naked , like their eyes were burning holes .
in me .
My nose started to sting .
I didnt , I was here first , I had no idea it would be like this … Ethan came out of the meeting just then .
He froze when he saw me .
Ashley ? What are you doing here ! I didnt get a chance to explain .

My coworkers were practically vibrating with excitement , wanting to know what was going on between Ethan and me .
Mark was about to say something , but I looked at him with tears in my eyes .
Please , dont # 1 く He rolled his eyes and walked away .
I didnt have the guts to see Ethan again .
I kept imagining myself sick , helpless , and dying alone in bed .
I immediately asked my supervisor for a letter of resignation.
Since my job wasnt that important , it only took me an hour to pack up my things and leave .
I had to change my number again .
It felt like I was running for my life .
