This story is based on true events. The identity of the characters has been changed for protection. This is a continuation of the second part which events recently took place last week of July. Please stay patient, I do not have an editor. If you have suggestions on how this story should go, please leave comments and I will discuss it with my co-worker.
While things have been super dead between Stella and me, I couldn't help to reach out to her with an email to her personal account. In this email, I wanted to know how she was feeling and if everything was alright. Stella replied, "she was okay, living the days one at a time."
Our office has been very stressful internally with everyone backstabbing each other for promotions, different departments pointing fingers at other departments, and high profile customers demanding new things that our company has never done.
We exchange emails venting about work, then I asked, "why did you block me on our chat?"
Stella stated, "she had to get away from everyone."
I told Stella straight up, "you are the only friend I have at this job and I valued our conversations."
She asked for my username and minutes later, I received a request from her.
We would continue to chat throughout the day as we use to. Since I still travel a lot, I made it a habit to bring her a battery from whatever location I came from. While having a lot of office drama, the boss decided to move Stella to the front of the office to prevent guys from being distracted by her attractiveness and get work done.
I was unaware and Stella did not mention the move but when I came back after a week out of the office, I saw Stella upfront. I sent Stella a message asking, "why she was up there." I didn't hear back so I decided to make my rounds so I can give Stella her battery. It is hard for Stella to check her messages since she no longer has privacy.
