I feel nervous.
I got a call from HR requesting or rather summoning me to a meeting this afternoon and so my morning is just not a good one. I keep asking myself who would have wanted to sabotage me and each time, I don't like the conclusion. I'm not one to quickly point fingers and I don't see why she would want to do this to me but each time, Only one name pops up in my head.
Amahle.
I was with her the evening before the disaster but then again, why would she? We aren't fighting and she opened up about her own secret. None of this makes sense and I hate what it's doing to me because now I can't stop thinking about it and I still have that meeting.
"What exactly are they going to ask me?" I ask him one more time.
We are standing in his office with him leaning against his desk while I have my back against his chest. His arms are wrapped around me protectively and the feeling of his heartbeat is so soothing.
"They are going to ask you about our relationship, when it started, If I used my authority to force you into it... I don't really know how deep they will go but it can go as far as them asking if you've slept with me."
"Are you serious?" I don't see how I can sit infront of a complete stranger and talk about my sex life in an attempt to prove that this isn't what they might think it is. "Are they going to ask you the same questions?" I ask him.
"Yes, I've been summoned too. Right after you and then we will both have to sit with her."
"This feels like we are kids that were caught doing something they shouldn't be doing."
"I know, but they are just doing their job and making sure that no scandal will arise in future."
"Scandals like?"
"You pressing sexual harassment charges against me or someone else saying they got passed by on an opportunity that was given to you because we are sleeping together."
When he explains this I feel like I'm going to be sick. All of this is crazy. All of it.
" I went to see Sindi yesterday. " he says with a low voice, he obviously knows I won't be happy about that but being the man that he is, he won't hide it from me either.
"Why?" I try not to sound harsh but she's really the last person I want to be hearing about right now.
"I believe she had something to do with what happened."
Now that's something I hadn't thought about. The crazy ex girlfriend... Would she go that far? What would she even achieve because it's not like I left him or he left me after it happened.
"She would go that far?"
"Anything is possible with her, but ofcourse she denied it."
"So we have no answers then, great."
"It's just a matter of time. Sindi didn't enter this building that's for sure, so she got help from the inside."
"Amahle." I blurt out.
"Who?"
"Amahle, the intern working with Isaac. I was with her the evening before. I didn't want to think it cpuld be her but my gut tells me that she's involved somehow."
"I'll find out." He says and I nod pressing my back more against his chest.
"She also agreed to do the DNA test." He says .
"Oh? What made her change her mind?"
"I don't know, but I'm glad she did."
"I get you, it kind of was starting to be a drag, not knowing what's what."
