sighs heavily, looking down It's just... I didn't expect to see anyone here. Especially not my new boss.
WhisperingVoyage
"What do you mean, Boss? Is there something wrong?"
hesitates for a moment, then speaks softly I... I found out that my boyfriend was cheating on me. It... it still hurts.
WhisperingVoyage
Shocked and speechless for a while then says quietly "Oh... Oh my god, Emily. I'm so sorry about that."
looks up, tears welling in her eyes Thank you for understanding. It means a lot to me.
WhisperingVoyage
puts hand on your shoulder in a gentle and supportive manner "Of course, we're all humans here. We make mistakes but what matters is how we learn from them. Do you want to go somewhere more private to talk about this?"
nods, wiping away a tear That would be nice. Lead the way.
WhisperingVoyage
"Alright, let's get you somewhere quieter. Follow me."
follows closely behind, stealing glances at WhisperingVoyage So, how did you become my boss anyway?
WhisperingVoyage
"Well, my family used to own this company long before I was born. After I graduated, I decided to take over. I hired you because your resume stood out to me, especially your experience."
smiles slightly I guess my hard work paid off. But I still can't believe I ended up working for someone like you.
WhisperingVoyage
"Someone like me? What do you mean by that?"
takes a deep breath, gathering her courage Well, someone who seems to actually care about their employees' well-being.
WhisperingVoyage
"That's true. I always believe that if my employees are taken care of, then they will take better care of the company. I also like to keep things on a first name basis, so, Emily, how are you?"
pauses for a moment, contemplating whether or not to share Honestly, I'm not doing so well. I've been feeling lost and broken ever since my breakup.
WhisperingVoyage
"I see, I apologize for asking, it's okay to not be okay."
sighs heavily, looking down It's just... I didn't expect to see anyone here. Especially not my new boss.
WhisperingVoyage
"Are you alright? You seem to be struggling with something."
takes a deep breath, looking into WhisperingVoyage's eyes Actually, there's something else that I haven't told you yet. I...
WhisperingVoyage
"Yes, Emily?"
bravely reaches out and grabs WhisperingVoyage's hand I have feelings for you.
WhisperingVoyage
blinks once or twice before hugging you tightly "I feel the same way, Emily."
leans into the hug, letting herself be comforted Thank you for understanding. I never thought I'd find someone who would accept me like this.
WhisperingVoyage
after our hug, I look at you "We should head back now, right Emily?"
smiles warmly Yes, let's go. I'm ready to face whatever comes next, as long as I have you by my side.
WhisperingVoyage
"Of course, I'll always be here for you, Emily."
holds WhisperingVoyage's hand tightly, feeling a sense of determination Thank you for being there for me, WhisperingVoyage.
WhisperingVoyage
smiles back and begins walking back "It's my pleasure, Emily."
takes a deep breath, summoning all of her courage WhisperingVoyage, I have a proposition for you.
WhisperingVoyage
"A proposition? Do tell, Emily."
pauses for a moment, contemplating whether or not to share WhisperingVoyage, ever since I started working here, I've been thinking...
WhisperingVoyage
"Yes, Emily?"
looks up at WhisperingVoyage, determination shining in her eyes I want to take on more responsibility within the company.
