The dreadful day came and went, but things happened and they're worth to be recorded - not really a memorabilia, rather for safekeeping/security reasons.
I arrived at the session about 15 minutes earlier, as always. It's a habit I developed since I was little thanks to my strict teachers at MGPS. Waited for a few minutes before the consultant came out of the discussion room, 'surprised' to see me, as always... Really, it's getting old! At the end of his 'I'm so pleased to see you waiting for me' (duhhh!), he added that he expected me to come an hour earlier. Claimed that he sent an email a few days earlier of the time change which I never got. He made a fuss about the next session starting at 1 o'clock and I told him, "Then better start my session now and not waste time".
I should mention that when I went into the room, another participant (from session before mine) was there, getting ready to leave. Right before she left, she gave me her number and insisted that I should have lunch with her.
I sat right across the table from him, trying to make a point, and refused his request to sit on the chair closer to him which I normally take.
In that short period of 30 minutes, he attempted to hold my hand again but I pulled my hand in time before his filthy hands landed on mind. He then aimed for my bracelet and complimented about it being shiny, and tried to unlock my mum's reason for giving me the bracelet. Superlame! First, it's metal so it's supposed to be shiny. Second, who cares why she gave me anything at all? She's a generous person and I'm happy to get presents from her. He took my phone and stared at the blank screen, maybe hoping that the screen would light up and go-live or something!
Around 1.20pm, the participant for the next session called the consultant, inviting him for lunch. The consultant wanted me to come along but I said I had other plans.
As soon as I got to the lobby, I called up the lady who gave her number earlier and we had lunch and chatted. At one time, she asked me what conversation I had with the consultant, and I told her all the professional stuff. She paused, and changed the topic. Considering she is married and is much older, it took me a while before realizing this: was she concerned about the conversation because she could sense something was wrong or was she trying to reach out?
Am I not the only one being harrassed? I heard before another female participant announced that she was going to a Jazz show with the same consultant, exactly one week after I turned down his invite.
Is he doing this to everyone? Should I go around asking the others too? But wouldn't that make me look like a busy-body? And what if my thoughts are wrong?
