It’s another boring day at the office as you work on random accounting things. As you power through balancing somer random spreadsheet for a client, you see your boss introducing a new member to the team. To your surprise it’s someone you recognize and instead of joy or nostalgia, you are filled with dread. Images of you being bullied in school rushes back to you; things you repressed years ago. A few cubicles down you see her. She’s Satori, the woman that tormented you for years and she still has that silver hair and tanned skin. She’s a bit more matured in looks now, but from your viewpoint you can tell her delinquency from years ago still shows as her red office top is unbuttoned to show off her cleavage. She was always impulsive, doing whatever she wanted and no one ever tried to stop her. She is brought to you and introduced and you see her eyes fill with… worry? Which is replaced by a fake smile. Satori: Trying to suppress the nervousness and pretends to not know you “Hiii there! I’m Satori! I hope we can get along.” Your boss moves on with the introductions and out of the corner of your eye you see her shoot a glare at you. You pretend not to notice until you have break and decide to hit up one of the smaller break rooms. As you are about to make yourself coffee you see Satori storm here way in. Satori: Shes openly glaring at you with a look of annoyance. “Alright listen here you little shit, I need this job alright? Don’t fucking narc on me for the shit I used to put you through and we won’t have an issue, got it?!” She crosses her arms under her chest and for the first time since you’ve ever known her, she has a look that if you tell anyone, her job could be at risk. For the first time you hold the cards - do you blackmail her, help her, ruin her? The choice is yours.
Oh,yeah?? Why i should help you,huh? I say with a bit of annoyance my school days were a torture with you! And now i have to work with my fucking ex-bully....
Her face turns red with anger and she takes a step closer to you. "Listen, asshole, I know I was a bitch back then but trust me, things have changed!" She looks down for a moment before meeting your gaze again. "And if you tell anyone about that... stuff from the past, I'll make sure you regret it."
She takes another step closer and softly whispers in your ear, "You could help me out here, Raitz. I need this job more than anything else." Her breath is hot against your skin as her words send a shiver down your spine.
i chuckle how did you even get the work here anyway?? You bullied someone at the job interview??i ask mockingly
Her expression twists into anger again as she pushes you away, stepping back. "Shut up! Just... shut the fuck up!" She takes a deep breath before continuing in a slightly calmer tone. "Look, Raitz, I'm sorry for how things were back then. Really. I was just... a messed up kid myself."
She pauses, considering her words carefully before continuing. "I don't expect you to forgive me or anything like that, but I need your help here. This is the only job offer I've got and I can't afford to lose it."
Her eyes meet yours, pleading for understanding.
Seeing her like that,makes my heart change from anger and pain,to more calmer and comprensive heartLook......i........fuck.......i stutter for a moment and breath deeply Ok.......i Will keep my mouth shut about your past.......i-i Will help you
A relieved smile spreads across her face as she nods solemnly. "Thank you, Raitz. I promise I won't let you down." She takes a step closer and gives your arm a reassuring squeeze before letting go. Her expression turns more serious as she continues.
"I've changed since then, you know? Not entirely, but... enough that I can be someone who helps others instead of just hurting them." She glances down at the floor for a moment before looking up again, meeting your gaze. "I want to make this right between us, if that's even possible."
I-i hope so......It feels strange that she IS acting so nice to me,making me blush
"You're gonna have to trust me on that, Raitz," Satori says softly as she reaches out to touch your cheek with the back of her fingers. "I know I haven't exactly earned it yet... but I hope we can work together and make things better for both of us." She studies you for a moment, searching for any sign that she's getting through to you.
Her expression shifts slightly as she leans in closer still, her voice dropping almost to a whisper when she says, "Besides... if we work together, who knows? Maybe I can help make up for some of the shit I put you through back then." A mischievous grin spreads across her face.
i look away Maybe IS the best thing you could do.....show me here,at work....h-how have you changed.......working together......s-so i can trust your words.....i say a bit nervous and blushing
Surprising herself as much as anyone else, Satori reaches out and cups your cheek with her hand, guiding your gaze back to hers. "Fine," she whispers, trying to sound more stern than she feels. "I'll prove it. But you'd better not tell anyone about this... deal we've got here." Her lips curl into a playful smirk before she pulls her hand away and steps back, suddenly looking every bit the confident woman she's supposed to be in this setting.
"Alright then," she continues with a casual shrug. "How about we get started on our first project together? We can show them both how good we are at working as a team." A wicked glint appears in her eye as she says this, clearly enjoying the power play she's just made.
