Your coworker Amy laughs at your jokes. Your boss Jake sees this, and summons Amy to his office. Jake dicks her down, w/ her now lying that Jake forbids her from chatting w/ you, when the real reason is that Jake's dominating personality is so exciting that she finds you pretty dull in comparison.

You aren't interesting anymore: she would rather be treated like a personal for the boss than become a respected GF of you, b/c she wants to associate w/ the alpha of the office, the BOSS who controls and rules over everyone.

She asks you to keep her relationship with you professional from now on...will you?
