can’t we just forget it and try to be just friends? I would still really like to go out clubbing with you and I promise not to grope you this time , ’ she said with a nervous laugh. I thought about how much fun I had before the coming out of the closet and racing back in and bol ting the door firmly shut saga and realised she’s really fun . ‘ C onsider it forgotten , ’ I replied and gave her a hug which was reciprocated.
After having a laugh about the situation and jokes about how good the kiss actually was, I went back downstairs and saw an extra pile of paperwork Ann had secretly dumped on my desk. With her prying eye, I didn’t react I just continued with my work when an email popped up.
I saw the sender was Angus so I thought it was an update on the meeting ; I opened it. It read,
‘I hope you had a good time the other night and I wanted to apologise for my behaviour with you. I now know the feelings could never have been mutual but Sarah is a great girl and I hope you have a great relationship.
Yours ,
Angus. X’
‘Oh great. Now he thinks I’m gay too. Is it my perfume? Or do my clothes and general stature scream gay?’ I thought as I started a reply,
‘ T hank you for the apology, however , if you are just apologising because you think I’m gay and therefore have no hope of anything happening between us then I’m afraid to say you are wrong about me being gay but right that I will never get together with my boss and a married man.
Regards ,
Neeta’
I looked into his office as I saw him reading the reply and saw him look at me through the window with a shocked look on his face and then he continued to type,
‘I can’t say that I’m not happy to hear that your straight but I still want to apologise. I acted like an idiot but it’s just when I see you I feel this energy, happiness and passion…a lot of passion. I know I’m married and I know I’m your boss but if only you knew my situation Nita . I don’t want you to feel sorry for me but we haven’t slept in the same room for three months. She knows there is no love there anymore but we’re just trying to act like a couple until the children finish school then we can go our separate ways. I would never advise anyone to get involved with a married man but my situation is different and I know I’ve only know n you for four days , but the moment I met you something sparked inside me and I don’t get that too often so I don’t want to let it and you go. Please just think about it . ’
What is it with the management in this place? When they see fresh blood they have to pounce on it straight away in case it goes past the sell by date? This is ridiculous I thought as I looked up from my screen to see him looking at his computer screen sadly.
I decided not to respond to his email without investigating his marriage further so I went to the official office gossip and office oracle , Brian.
Now Brian is fantastic. He has the driest sense of humour, always tells stories of his eventful night out with his partner, Paulo in Soho and knows everything about everyone in the office before they do! We clicked the first day I started and I knew he would know everything about Angus as he secretly fancies him I found this out one afternoon when he gave me a graphic account of how he planned to ‘turn’ him).
I approached his desk and he clapped his hands as though excited to see me . ‘I have news about someone in Human R esources who has been very naughty in the photocopying room with a certain someone from Sales and marketing, ’ he purred . ‘ o kay tell me that in a minute Bri , I just wanted to know about Angus’s wife cos he asked me to buy her a present and I was gonna get her per fume but need to know what she like s cos perfume is a very individual present, don’t you think?’ I confidently explained and hoped he wouldn’t see through that flakily
