My boss invited me to his pool and told me that he would give me a promotion if I agreed to spend one night with him. He knew I was married but didn’t care about it. His proposition left me stunned and angry.

I took a deep breath, trying to maintain my composure. “I’m sorry,” I said firmly, “but I can’t do that. I value my integrity and my marriage too much.”

His face darkened, but I didn’t waver. I turned and left, feeling a surge of empowerment. The next day, I reported his inappropriate behavior to HR, determined to stand up for myself and protect my professional reputation. No job was worth compromising my principles.
