“I didn't realize you were in a conference. You said you'd dedicate three days to me, but you've been in meetings constantly. How frustrating.”
During the company's regular online meeting, a voice from a young woman appeared on Ryan Carter's display.
She didn't seem to realize what was happening and was acting coquettishly with Ryan as if no one was around.
The colleagues who were just making noise suddenly quieted down, as if they were all waiting for my reaction - Ryan's wife.
Everyone wants to see my jokes.
This time, I remained calm. I calmly said to the colleague, "Please continue and ignore any interference."

A Conference Call Affair

I returned to my workstation and calmly sanitized my hands before completing the tasks at hand.


Initially, I had no intention of addressing the matter further.


However, the noise of someone yelling through an amplifier soon reached my ears from outside.


"Emma from Faith Group is a family destroyer! She breaks up marriages!"


This accusation was repeated endlessly outside the office building.

"You home-wrecker! Shameless mistress! You've ruined someone's marriage!"


"I'm here to seek justice for the woman you've wronged!"


Before I could react, the woman tackled me to the ground.
