Isabel

I FOUND MY BOSS WITH HIS MISTRESS AT WORK.... YEARS LATER SOMETHING SAD HAPPENED. So there I was, the perfect employee in a large company, who had stayed on for overtime. I was a secretary, specifically to one of the company's engineers. My job was to bring him the news, tidy his desk and get him a good coffee. Not knowing that he was still in his office, and since I had finished my work early, I thought I would bring forward the next day's work and tidy up his desk at once. Big mistake. There he was, with another girl, a secretary, kissing. It wouldn't be anything particularly scandalous except that they were both married. Our gaze met for only a few seconds before I walked out of there not wanting to see anything else. The next morning the engineer sent for me. He obviously wanted to talk about his little incident the night before. -Isabel, thanks for coming," he said. -What do you need, engineer? -I answered quickly, without even looking at him . I wanted to talk to you about what you saw yesterday. -I don't remember seeing anything. I don't know what you're talking about. -I'm talking about... -No, engineer, I didn't see anything. He thanked me for my discretion and let me go. And so the story remained hidden for a long time. I left that company and naturally forgot that anecdote. I opened my own business, a small lottery and betting shop, with which I was doing very well. On one occasion, a client, who had not stopped telling me about her daughter-in-law, told me she wanted to introduce me to her. Logically, I agreed. To my surprise, it was her, the same secretary who was with the engineer at the time. Her face turned red and she was clearly nervous. But it didn't escalate, I, like that time, didn't say anything, and things didn't go any further. If I didn't say it when it happened, I wouldn't say it afterwards.
