Faces Of You

Tw: stalking (?), harassment, Charles? (I feel like deserves his own warning)

~

    “Yuqi, I am not doing this again. Hyunjin hasn't gotten a letter in weeks. Yoon hasn’t and Charles hasn’t bothered me at work. I am not going to open up a can of worms that doesn’t need to be opened,”

   “Felix, he threatened you for three years,” Yuqi stated.

   Felix sighed.

   “That is the issue! Stalking may be a crime, but do you think that the police care? Unless it gets physical they could actually careless. I don’t want to bring it to my boss, because then I will be the rookie lawyer who created unnecessary drama,” Felix said.

   “Hyunjin thinks you should tell your boss too. Hell tell Yoon. Just tell someone who can actually help,”

   “It is my decision. I have to go back to work, I will call you when I get home,”

  Felix hung up and put his phone down.

  Did he know that he should tell someone? Yes and he was going to, but he was tired of people bringing it up.

   A soft knock on his door brought him out of his thoughts,

  “Yes?”

The door opened and a woman peeked her head in, “Hey, I just wanted to come by and talk,”

   “Oh, what about?” Felix asked.

    Natalie walked in and closed the door behind her, “About Charles,”

   Feix pursed his lips, “Uhm, what about him?”

     “I was thinking of that conversation we had a couple weeks ago and it just seemed a little off with the way Charles was talking,” she said.

  “I don’t want this to get back to Will or Yoon, especially Yoon,” Felix said.

  “I can’t say that it won’t get back to Will especially depending on severity,”

Felix bit his lip, “Charles and I do have a past, a very complicated and difficult past. We met in high school. After high school I never expected to see or hear from him again. To be honest, I hoped I never did.

  So when I went out with Yoon a couple weeks ago to meet other co-workers, I got scared seeing him there, because of what happened.

   That day we talked, I was going to talk to Will, but then Charles appeared and I just couldn’t. I mean he hurt me once, what more could he do and apparently he did a lot,” Felix told her.
 
  “What did he do?”

   “He was threatening me and using that to basically control someone important in my life for years,”

  Natalie shook her head, “The first time, what did he do to make it to where you were scared enough of him to not tell someone?”

   Felix looked at his hands, “It is in my file for the firm the one Will has,”

   The woman nodded, “Like I said, I can’t say this won’t get back to at least Will,”

  “If it does, can we just try to keep it quiet. I don’t what this to be a big thing,”

   “We will try, I promise… Take the last of the day off. Go home and get some rest,”

   Felix nodded, “I’ll just let Yoon know,”

   “I’ll tell him, I was heading to him anyway,” Natalie said.
