「咦,原來你哋兩個識㗎,咁啱嘅!」Johnson聽見阿康講得出Athena的名字,知道二人一早認識,便無需多作介紹。974Please respect copyright.PENANADk3rSiKKGq
Athena︰「點解會係你㗎?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAHCNgs4lH8P
阿康:「我……我唔知呀!」974Please respect copyright.PENANAyKKEyuIWpA
Athena︰「你係咪痴線㗎,已經兩年喇,你都係唔放過我?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAPbUWSGgqzI
阿康:「我……我唔係呀!」974Please respect copyright.PENANAGelZUq6uhF
眾人聽見二人的對話,無不感到驚訝,估不到二人原來一早認識兼有瓜葛。974Please respect copyright.PENANAtAIj1qcuKo
Athena其實是阿康其中一位曾追求過的女生,亦即是三年內被七位女生拒絕的其中一位,也是最深刻的一位。974Please respect copyright.PENANAfmY68Jf4sB
之前也提及過,阿康可以完美地令每一位追求過的女生都討厭他,Athena也不例外,而且是關係最差的一個。974Please respect copyright.PENANALOMr4wHD8Y
無可否認,這三年間,阿康愛得最深的,就是Athena。以阿康的級數,去追求女神級的Athena,根本就是不可能的任務。在追求過程的後期,阿康不惜死纏爛打,以為只要努力地對她好,她終會接受。實情是,Athena根本從來未對阿康看得上眼。974Please respect copyright.PENANAOFaB9ltQmt
當時阿康每日纏擾著Athena,每天在她居住的屋苑門口和公司樓下等候她,更試過在她與朋友聚會的餐廳用餐,遠距離偷望她,行為越來越過份。974Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6tMiFYHg6
這些行為令Athena極度討厭阿康。為了令他知難而退,Athena試過在大庭廣眾之下奚落他,過程被Athena的朋友拍下,放上Facebook並瘋傳,令他失去自尊。但他仍未放棄,繼續纏擾著Athena,最終Athena以報警作要脅,警告阿康不要再煩著她。同時,Athena開始跟其中一名追求者George拍拖,最終阿康無奈放棄。974Please respect copyright.PENANAlLlz6rRwcF
Johnson見情況不妙,拉了阿康和Athena入房再傾。974Please respect copyright.PENANAUy5RdY6Spi
Athena︰「Johnson,唔好意思,就算你唔鍾意聽,我都要講。我唔知你點解要請佢,但如果你真係請佢,我會即刻辭職,我唔想再對住呢個男人,一秒都唔想。」974Please respect copyright.PENANADtFyed8LTH
阿康仍然不懂如何回應。974Please respect copyright.PENANAUTYj3uF8iR
Johnson︰「OK,咁啦,我哋先理智啲處理呢件事。其實,你哋之前發生過啲咩事,講唔講得俾我知?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAgIeEtVaLIf
Athena︰「我唔想再提。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAQl8ZopPNdq
阿康看見Athena那麼決絕的樣子,感到很心痛,那種失落感,比之前被Jessie拒絕時更強烈。這令他想起兩年前追求她時的情景,仍然是歷歷在目。他一時未能回答Johnson的問題。974Please respect copyright.PENANA2eomcfmDCL
Athena︰「你點樣搵到我㗎?你點知我喺呢度做嘢㗎?明明我已經block咗你所有IG﹑WhatsApp,連你好兄弟Dylan我都block埋,你冇理由知道我啲嘢。莫非你又跟蹤我?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAitRtRKYDu9
雖然阿康到目前為止,仍未有開口說話,但Johnson聽到Athena對阿康的質疑,大約也估到二人之前發生過甚麼事。974Please respect copyright.PENANAixOFXTKMvH
Johnson︰「Athena,其實唔係阿康自己apply呢份工㗎,係我無意間喺一間餐廳見到阿康,覺得佢好適合呢份工,先主動邀請佢嚟面試,佢根本唔係主動嚟見工……」974Please respect copyright.PENANAixjrRri5nt
Athena打斷Johnson的說話︰「咁可能係佢知道我係幫你做緊嘢,見到你去餐廳,佢先特登喺你面前搏表現,嚟引你注意呢!」974Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ9FzXvmhh
Johnson對Athena這樣的回答感到驚訝,因Athena處事一向成熟,不會過份主觀地去批判一件事或一個人。可想而知,當年阿康纏擾得Athena有多嚴重,Athena有多討厭阿康。974Please respect copyright.PENANA0f7s9KnMTp
Athena︰「佢根本係一個病態嘅纏擾狂同跟踪狂,我唔會同佢一齊做嘢。如果Johnson你堅持要請佢,sorry,我會辭職,我陣間補返封信俾你。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAS4HsMjIbuJ
Johnson︰「Athena,有事慢慢講。」974Please respect copyright.PENANABC6GUeCFTa
Athena在公關和銷售方面都有很出色的表現,當年Johnson因認識Athena的父親,靠她父親的關係才能邀請到Athena來Smartoys幫手,慢慢幫公司打好了根基。老實說,Johnson不會為了阿康而放棄Athena。974Please respect copyright.PENANAmUyd1QDHIm
「我發誓……」阿康突然高舉右手,並伸出三隻手指,是發誓的手勢。974Please respect copyright.PENANA22t5tOrJUM
「我事前係唔知Athena喺呢間公司做,我發誓!」阿康鼓起勇氣,說出第一句話。974Please respect copyright.PENANAHypZeyyUAx
「Athena,對唔住,以前我對你做咗好多好過份嘅嘢,但你相信我,我已經忘記咗你好耐,我只係想轉工,換一個新環境做嘢。希望你可以忘記我以前做過嘅嘢,當我係一般嘅新同事咁看待。」阿康放下手後,和Athena說出這番話。974Please respect copyright.PENANAK5ijN9XXCo
Johnson望著Athena,希望她會接受阿康這位新同事。Johnson已經見了很多應徵者,也找不到像阿康般會賣命和全程投入的人。難得找到阿康,他不想再從頭招聘。974Please respect copyright.PENANApYDM3pYJKk
阿康再次打破沉默:「喺公司我會同你保持距離,只會同你講公事,只要你對我有唔舒服嘅感覺,你可以即刻出聲,我會即刻辭職,我唔想Johnson難做。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAhAjw3jZUgI
阿康很久也沒試過一下子講那麼多的話。Athena望著阿康,本來望著Athena的他,立即逃避Athena的眼神。974Please respect copyright.PENANAxuP9otQ7Rt
Johnson︰「我承諾,我會做好監察,唔會俾你受到傷害。你覺得阿康有問題,即刻同我講,我會公平處理。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAyHhEzs0WGv
Athena︰「好啦,我信你啦Johnson。」974Please respect copyright.PENANA7P2Xe6irJU
Athena勉強答應了Johnson,讓阿康留在公司,自己也以大局為重,暫不再提辭職的事。974Please respect copyright.PENANA8HRaU0J0nl
Athena有三位好姊妹,她們分別是Chloe﹑Esther和Sophie,所以她們經常自稱「ACES女子組」,間中會相約出來聚會。今晚,Athena主動提出飯局,三人知道Athena有特別事,立即應邀出席。974Please respect copyright.PENANAEXFgdPuXtd
她們臨時預約了一間五星級酒店的意大利餐廳,作為今晚聚會的地點。974Please respect copyright.PENANAPrVfkVlYD1
Chloe︰「唔係咁大獲吓,嗰個宅男又嚟搵你!」974Please respect copyright.PENANAvpfsnGlD35
Sophie︰「咩宅男呀,係變態佬纏擾狂死毒男呀!高攀Athena都算啦,當時仲要攪到Athena咁唔開心。佢一定係兩年前被拒絕之後仍然死心不息,處心積慮要搵機會再接近Athena,扮晒唔知情咁嚟你公司做嘢。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAwM0Z05gHwD
Athena︰「我唔知呀,我望住佢個樣,就諗起佢當時點樣騷擾我,好可怕呀!」974Please respect copyright.PENANAsa0Zd6Mc8L
Esther︰「Athena,你出入要小心啲,我可以陪你。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAO4jdz3333R
Athena︰「唔使,你都要拍拖,我有分數。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAX0Ey7WfJ37
Chloe︰「不如你辭職啦!」974Please respect copyright.PENANAAiuks6VKN3
Athena︰「我之前應承過Johnson,要幫佢公司生意上咗軌道先會走,我唔可以言而無信。既然Johnson應承咗唔會俾我再受傷害,佢又係我世叔伯,我唔可以令到佢難做。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAHB30u56eKg
和好姊妹傾談過後,Athena心情已改善不少。回家後,她也想向男友George傾訴。可是,兩年前Athena和George開始拍拖之時,阿康仍然死纏Athena一段時間才收手,當時曾惹怒過George。Athena不想George擔心,說話時吞吞吐吐,最終因George太疲倦,Athena未講完他便睡著了。
