A Proposal by the Pool

It was a warm afternoon when my boss invited me over to his house. He told me it was just for a casual get-together by the pool, a chance to relax after a long week of work. I thought nothing of it—after all, we’d always had a professional relationship. Maybe it was an opportunity to discuss new ideas for the company or just unwind in a more informal setting.

When I arrived, the atmosphere felt different. I could sense something was off as soon as I stepped onto the patio. We sat by the pool, sipping drinks and talking about work at first, but then the conversation shifted. He leaned in closer, lowering his voice, and what he said next shocked me to my core.

“If you spend just one night with me, I’ll make sure you get the promotion you’ve been eyeing,” he said, looking me directly in the eye.

My heart pounded in my chest, a mix of disbelief, anger, and confusion swirling inside me. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I had worked hard for my position, earned every bit of respect I had, and now he was reducing my worth to something so shallow.

I felt trapped in that moment. I didn’t know how to respond right away. My mind raced through all the possibilities. Saying no could ruin my chances for advancement, but saying yes was something I couldn’t even fathom. How dare he put me in this position?

I stood up, feeling the weight of his proposition settling over me. “I’m not someone you can buy,” I said, my voice steady though my hands were trembling. “If I’m going to get that promotion, it will be because I’ve earned it, not because of something so degrading.”

He looked taken aback, as if he hadn’t expected me to turn him down. I walked away, my mind spinning, but with one clear thought: I would never let anyone devalue my integrity, no matter the price.

As I left his house, I knew this wasn’t the end of the story. Confrontations like this have consequences. But no matter what, I wasn’t going to sacrifice my dignity for anyone—not even for a promotion.
