Screen 24 of 68

Well the time came and she joined in as a colleague. My heart was beating when she finally joined and I asked her out for lunch to celebrate. We went for lunch together and she said she liked working with me and I was in seventh sky. There was enough scope in my work and she was soon assigned many things in my project. I was about to learn why she wanted to work with me... She was very dominant deciding on how things should be done and overruling me in priorities and even simple organization... soon in this arrangement; I was doing a lot of work and sometimes even her work.

She would politely ask me to do stuff when she would go out for happy hour while I stayed at the office. When it came to presentations, she would present them for the most part and cut me off in some answers to people’s questions. I felt humiliated, but somehow I took it and felt high in the night thinking about the events and only thinking about her aggressiveness. It was weird, as I didn't even have simple physical contact with her but my submissive顺从 — willing to obey desires were strong toward her.
