To be honest, I am fortunate to join SCM. C was the first person that I encountered when I came for interview last October. She was slim, tall and attractive by nature. I was drawn by her beauty almost immediately. 

Even though we were in different teams, we crossed paths easily as our job scope interlapse each other. Since I joined, I always find opportunities to interact with her, and share topics about our work and life. I am also thankful to have a band of brothers who help me along at times.

I managed to ask her out one evening after work. I shared about my interest in her. She did not openly rejected me, which gives me a boost of confidence. Her affirmation that she is not seeing anyone gives me a step ahead.

However, things changed abruptly. There was no further meet up though I initiate a number of times.

At times, I feel dejected as my intention is to understand you further. Though we were best colleagues in office, there weren't much communication outside work. There was a sense of distance between ourselves. Thankfully, my band of brothers have always been very supportive. We have group dinners after work occasionally and she joined along as well. This allows me a chance to interact and understand her as a group.

Along the way came this person, named P. P was a threat to me as he has interest in her as well. C did shared with me once that she just started seeing P, which gives her a reason why she placed a stop in this. I take that as a testament of how strong I can last.
