"Hey! It's you again!" I was on my way to the control room, but halfway there, a voice stops me. I turn around and scare a little when I see it's Eric, the owner of this theme park. Right, he was here as well today... Great...

"Hello, Eric!" I tell him, I am about to bow to him out of habit, but I stop myself right on time. "Alyssa, was it?" He asks me. I nod, "Yes, exactly." I smile politely and he smiles back to me with a wide smile. "Nice to see you again! I was hoping to meet you again today," he says. His smile grows and I see how his eyes roll over my entire body as he walks closer to me.

I feel my heartbeat and my breathing raise and the fear takes over my body. I can't help it, he gives me the creeps.

"How are you doing?" Eric stops barely two feet in front of me. "I am doing well," I tell him and take a tiny step back to create more space between us. He smiles and nods, "Great! How is the shoot going? I hope my park and employees are treating you well?" I nod, "Oh definitely! So far, so good!" Eric crosses his arms and nods with the same wide smile.

"Good, good. If not, you let me know, okay?" He asks, "I would be happy to kick someone's ass for you." I bet he means well, but his words have the opposite effect. I feel a little lump in my throat. "Uhm, yeah, of course!" I try to smile politely, but I feel way too uncomfortable.

In my horror, Eric takes a step closer to me. "So tell me, you have a huge role in the process, don't you? You seem very important," he says. I lift my shoulders, "Uhm, kinda. I am just a part of the crew. I film, but I am also a creator." I try to explain it as simple as possible so I can end this conversation quickly and go to James.

"Actually, I am on my way to do some work as a creator, so if you'd excuse me, I need to get going," I tell him. I already take a step away from him to empower my words. Eric nods, "Of course! Of course! Don't let me stop you! In fact, I am on my way there as well. So I will walk with you." Without waiting for a response, he walks with me towards the control room. Damnit...

"So tell me a bit about yourself, Alyssa. Who is the girl behind the creator?" He asks me. I laugh uncomfortably. "There is really not much to know, actually. My work is most of my life." Eric laughs and puts his hand on my shoulder. "Oh, I don't believe that! For what I have seen you are a smart and stunning woman. I am sure there is much more about you," he says. I feel shivers roll down my spine. I want him away from me and I really don't want to tell him more about myself.

"Well... Not really," I try to brush him off. But he clearly doesn't see the hint. Or he doesn't want to see it. "Nonsense! For one thing, I bet there is a man by your side who satisfies you, right?" He asks. I scare by his question. Who satisfies me? Does he mean sexually? Why on earth is he asking me that?!

"What?" I ask him. He looks at me and grabs my wrist. He stops me and stands in front of me. "No?" He asks. I scare. Why didn't I just say yes?!

"No, I mean, yes. There is," I quickly tell him. To my fear, he starts to laugh. "You don't have to be ashamed of it, Ali. I am sure there are a lot of men ready to help you..." His eyes roll down my body. I feel my stomach throw up inside of me. Oh hell no!

I quickly pull my arm out of his grip and walk away. "I think I am done with this conversation," I tell him and quickly make my way to the control room. Why is that thing so damn far away?!

Eric follows me again with a quick step. I scare when he grabs my arm again. "No, wait Ali, I didn't mean it like that," he says. He stops me once again and turns me to face him again. But this time a wall is close behind me. Eric is not completely cornering me, but it is too damn close.
