"Julianne Hartford, please report to my office," her boss calmly tells her. I take my new updated project that he asked to review with him at the end of the day. I take my Apple Mac to him to lay out the project before him.

There is no one else in the office besides me and few scattered people that are packing up to leave home. As I nears his door, I knock on it before going in. He tells from his room, "Please come in."

I walk in and set the Apple Mac down before I take a seat. My boss looks at me differently than everyday. He looks like he wants to do something dangerous. Before I can turn the computer towards him, he gets up and takes a seat beside me.

I am wearing a black pencil skirt that reaches just above her knee, and a white blouse with ruffles and full sleeves. My hair is neatly pulled back into a ponytail with the ends lightly curled. I look at him weirdly because he has never done that before and causes me to get nervous.

"Please take a seat Ms. Hartford," he sweetly tells me. I slowly descend in my chair which is right next to him. I keep an extra few inches next to me just incase.

"Mr. Adams, this the updated version of the project. Mr. Nouvea would like a plan of what we would be able to do next for the plant. He also wants a full proof edited version of the plan to see if we are keeping up to date with everything," I continue to tell him what we were supposed to do for the next few weeks and what we needed to do tomorrow for Mr. Nouvea.

I continue with my speech, until a hand lands on my shoulder. I intake a sharp breath that could have been heard if Mr. Adams didn't start talking right away. He keeps his hand on my shoulder which is really uncomfortable and started to fix my errors.

"Please continue with your description Ms. Hartford," I try to take his hand off my shoulder but he doesn't budge, so I continue to tell him the next day plans and what we are expected to do. I stop again to check if my heart's still beating. He moved his hand from my shoulder to my knee. I literally stop breathing when he starts to move up my skirt and puts his hand through my skirt.

I decide that I have had enough and sharply stand up that his hand isn't on my body anymore. I can't believe he just touched me like that! That rogue! How dare he! "Mr. Adams, can you tell what you were doing?" I glare at him knowing that what he just did is completely unacceptable.

He answers, "Why Ms. Hartford, I was merely touching you. You are my secretary and you have to fulfill all my needs: business and personal."

I couldn't believe him! He expects me to take care of his personal life, then I'm done with this job no matter the cost. I sweetly smile at him saying, "In that case, Mr. Adams, you can expect my resignation letter on your desk tomorrow morning."

I turn to leave, but not before adding, "And DON'T EVER FREAKING TOUCH ME AGAIN!."

I turn back around to leave, but a hand comes in contact with my wrist to hold me in place. He comes closer to me and says, "I don't care if you resign Ms. Hartford, but I will have you before you leave."

He comes closer to me to kiss me. I can't take it anymore. I kick him where the sun doesn't shine and take my precious computer before running out the door. He is still hunched over in his office trying to soothe his pain.

I pack up my stuff from the things I can and run out the building before jumping in my car. I speed out of the parking lot towards my home where I know I will be safe. THAT F****** B******!!! I don't normally cuss, but this is the one time I will allow it! If there are stronger words than this, he completely deserves it!

I probably won't file a claim against him because I just don't want to have to go through that stress and my parents would definitely find out the reason why I lost my job. I am definitely not telling them about this matter!
