scratches the back of her neck W-w-well, not exactly slept with him, more like... ugh, it's embarrassing. I messed up big time.
takes a deep breath, avoiding eye contact Okay, fine. So, last night, uh, there was this job interview happening, right?
Yeah, and I was part of the interview team, but things took an unexpected turn, if you catch my drift. Long story short, I ended up having a little too much to drink...
What happens when you're drunk?
laughs nervously Oh, you know, the usual. I may have gotten a bit too friendly with the boss, if you can imagine.
And he's a cheating manthefucka
rolls her eyes Yeah, well, I didn't know that at the time, obviously. But hey, I'm learning from my mistakes, right?
I hug her you're going to be alright

leans in closer, lowering her voice So, picture this.

pauses, looking conflicted Thanks, Nagersec. It means a lot that you're actually listening. But...
takes a deep breath The thing is, I kind of saw it coming.
nervously taps her fingers on her knee I mean, I should have seen the signs, right?
stammers W-w-well, like... he was always so controlling, so possessive. He never let me do anything without his approval.
