This is a lot to process.
Give me some time to gather my thoughts and respond.
Sure, take your time.
Nick, thank you for being selfless and making this life-altering career decision to save me from any backlash. I trust you will let me know if there’s anything I can do to help you find a new job.
Even though I’ve always been 100% ethical in my career and want to believe that I would have done the right thing and disclose our association to HR… this time, for the first in my career and otherwise, I might have crossed the line and failed to declare our relationship. Because although I know itshouldbe confidential, itwouldget out in the public domain. And the backlash would destroy Emily. And destroy me.
Thank you for being open and honest with me. I’ve always admired this about you.
Thank you for loving me… I love you too, Nick.
For the first time in my life, someone has made me feel beautiful, sexy and desired. You’ve showed me what it’s like to really have fun. You’ve unearthed fantasies I’ve suppressed for as long as I can remember. Around you, I feel alive.
I’m really sorry for putting you in this position. I was selfish.
I truly believe you’ve made the right decision to move forward with Emily. You two are perfect for each other.
I will respect your decision. I promise.
Thanks Lisa. Please delete these messages.
I will.
