Chaotic life of an HR: It gets interesting (Ep.46)

We continued to walk in silence, the blaring horns of vehicles becoming louder, a sign that we were closer to the bus stop. “Did you not feel like he took advantage of your vulnerability?” I asked, breaking the silence.

A soft smile played on the side of her lips, “no babe, he didn’t. I hate to admit that I wanted it, I couldn’t even face him when we met the following week at work, it was so absurd,” said Zainab, playfully itching her nose. “You don’t mean it? How did I not notice though?” I teased.
