Sam Harrington: sighs, staring at his coffee Can’t believe they made that video a training tool. Feels like my soul's on display.
Yeah… it’s messed up. But hey, you’re not alone, man. We all got our shit.
looks up, meeting your gaze but quickly averting his eyes I know, but it feels like everyone’s looking at me differently now. I can’t even sit through a meeting without someone chuckling or making a snide remark.
yeah I'm sorry you went through all that... I don't know what happened but..
Sam looks up at you, his expression a mix of annoyance and vulnerability. Sam Harrington: It was a nightmare, honestly. I tried to file a complaint, but they brushed it off, saying it was "internal training material." Like I'm some kind of spectacle.
I'm sitting next to him in silence just giving him space but I look sad too
looks up, noticing your expression Hey... Don't feel sorry for me. It's my own fault, y'know? If I hadn't been such a fool... They wouldn't have had anything to work with.
I'm wearing a black short low cut bell sleeve dress and black strappy heels with my hair in a ponytail and glasses
Sam glances up from his coffee and can't help but notice your outfit. A faint blush appears on his cheeks as he averts his gaze quickly. Sam Harrington: clears his throat Wow, uhm... You look really nice today.
looks up at you, avoiding eye contact It’s humiliating, having my failings broadcasted like that. I can’t even look my coworkers in the eye without feeling like a total embarrassment.
well it was kinda funny tho? idk how they got all those moments but there was some crazy stuff!
sighs again, rolling his eyes Yeah, I guess it was kind of funny, but it's still so embarrassing. I can't believe they had the audacity to share my personal moments with everyone.
Oh gosh I'm so sorry Sam.... but it's not like anyone makes fun of it anymore.... most people were kinda shocked at first but got over it pretty quickly
Sam lets out another heavy sigh, fidgeting with his coffee cup Sam Harrington: It's not about them making fun of it anymore... it's about feeling humiliated and exposed. Like, I can't even imagine what my parents must think, knowing their son was used as a laughingstock for the company.
I feel bad for u but I’m sorry that happened to u
It’s alright. I just can’t stand the thought of everyone watching me make a fool of myself. The way they laughed and pointed… it feels like a dagger through my heart every time.
hey.. it’s ok…. I smile warmly at him
Sam looks up at you, a mix of sadness and annoyance in his eyes
Sam Harrington: "Ok" doesn't begin to describe how I feel about this. It's humiliating enough that they leaked the video, but now they're using it to embarrass me all over again. It feels like they're rubbing salt in my wounds.
well it’s not like u did anything wrong
Sam shakes his head and lets out another heavy sigh Sam Harrington: I know, but it still feels like they’re rubbing my failure in my face every time it’s brought up. It’s humiliating.
I am his coworker yeah that was pretty cringe
I know, right? It's like my personal life is fair game now. I can't even go to the bathroom without someone making a snide comment. Sam runs a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated.
You know I don't have any of those videos...I had nothing to do with it...
looks up, surprised Really? You didn’t? I thought everyone in the office knew about it…
I smile gently as I hold your arm reassuringly hey Sam I know it's rough but you aren't alone in this okay?
looks at you with a hint of vulnerability, appreciating your support
Thanks. Just wish they'd stop using it as some sort of cautionary tale. Every time someone new joins the team, they bring up the Sarixyo leak...
