This whole week, I've been having a headache over something that's a bit... silly. Every year in the summer, my office always organizes a beach vacation. This year is of course no exception.
After a year of hard work and pressure, trips like this are always a time for us to let loose and have fun. My colleagues, especially the young, single ones my age, love to have fun and drink to their hearts' content.
When we drink too much, anything can happen. Unfortunately, Lam and I "bumped" into each other. Lam is a colleague of the same rank as me but works in a different department. He is 34 years old, 8 years older than me.
In general, I don't remember exactly how everything happened. I only know that when I woke up in the morning, I found us lying on the bed together... naked.
Needless to say, I was shocked and scared, and the man's side had the same reaction. He kept holding his head and apologizing to me. I didn't know how to respond, I was both shy and embarrassed and didn't know where to hide my face.
The incident that day made me miserable later on (Illustration: Sohu).
After calming down a bit, we agreed to keep this a secret and not tell anyone, to avoid causing trouble and gossip in the office. Even though we were both single, this was still not a good thing.
Before Mr. Lam could say anything more, I immediately "preempted" him. I said that this was an unexpected incident. We both drank too much and crossed the line. I would handle it on my own, to avoid any future consequences. And he didn't have to worry or take responsibility, that was unnecessary because we were both adults.
After that trip, I quickly bought and took emergency contraceptive pills. Occasionally meeting at the company, Lam and I were quite awkward but tried to ignore it, pretending that there had never been any incident between us.
I thought everything was going smoothly. Suddenly, Mr. Lam asked to meet me privately. While I was quite confused about what his problem was, he suddenly declared: "Let's stop, pretending like nothing is wrong is not good."
Then he kept talking and talking, he suggested that I don't need to take birth control pills or anything like that, he wouldn't take any responsibility. He thought this was all fate, we were both single so he wanted us to try to get to know each other and go a little further.
When he saw that I disagreed, Mr. Lam immediately changed his attitude, no longer as gentle and kind as before. He thought that in the incident on the vacation, we were both at fault, and that it was not always only men who needed to apologize. I may not need him to take responsibility for me, but... he did.
He confirmed that he was a very traditional person. Since that day, he couldn't stop thinking about me and that night. He realized that this couldn't be normal. The gist of it was that he was holding me responsible, that we needed to date and maybe get married.
Hearing what Mr. Lam said, I was really shocked. What era is this, how old are you that you still have such old-fashioned thinking? No matter what, in a matter like this, the woman is always at a disadvantage. I did not blame or demand anything, so why did you "pay" for me?
So what if a lot of people have one night stands? Unfortunately, this was an accident caused by drunkenness. We didn’t do anything wrong or cheat anyone. Why do we have to tie our lives together because of this, it’s ridiculous. Not to mention, he’s a man, 8 years older than me.
I said "nothing but Mr. Lam didn't seem to understand, continuously giving opinions that were contrary to mine. He insisted on... justice.
This guy really has a problem. Suddenly I thought: Maybe this wasn't an accident, but he actively "trapped" me and asked me to take responsibility? That's all I thought, but I couldn't remember anything about that day.
For a week now, Mr. Lam has been texting and calling me constantly, demanding my response. At work, I have to find ways to avoid him, and his attitude is so unnatural that some of my colleagues have started to notice. Some even tease us, which makes me very upset.
I don't love Lam, I don't want to marry him like this. This is so silly! But he is so persistent, he doesn't understand no matter how much I try, what should I do?
