File photo of a worried man
Dear GhanaWeb,
I’m a 26-year-old gentleman who works in a prestigious company. I worked as the Personal Assistant to the Managing Director, and my job required me to accompany him everywhere, even to regional conferences.
On one occasion, he mentioned a huge contract he needed to sign in Kumasi.
He booked two rooms, one for himself and one for me. Every night, he would call me to his room to go over the report I had prepared, plan the next day’s activities, and sometimes, I would even have to iron his clothes for the following day.
I usually left his room around 2 or 3 a.m. During these late-night meetings, we often drank alcohol, since we had both taken long naps earlier, and he claimed it helped keep us alert.
One particular night, after drinking a wine he had given me, I began feeling extremely dizzy and weak. He suggested I rest on his bed for a while.
I told him I felt uncomfortable, like I couldn’t breathe, and I was sweating heavily.
He helped me remove my top, and at that point, I was too weak to even open my eyes.
I woke up the next morning completely naked on his bed and I noticed a strange feeling in my thighs, like that of semen. By the time I woke up, he was already in the shower.
I quietly got dressed and left his room. We barely spoke that day, only exchanging a few words about work. After we were done with the contract signing, we had to return to Accra.
He eventually dropped me off at home and nothing more was said. Mind you, my boss is 40 years old, he is married with three kids. I felt it was disrespectful to ask him outright if he had touched me or if I had been drugged.
A lot of thoughts were racing through my mind, and moreover, I was expecting him to say something to me.
I couldn’t make sense of it. I was literally naked in his bed and as a guy, I was in shock and disbelief. This man doesn’t look like someone who can be intimate with his fellow gender because he looks so responsible.
I questioned myself for days, trying to figure out what happened that night. Eventually, I decided to quit the job and maybe he will talk to me about it.
He asked why I quit and I told him I’m no more comfortable in the working environment. He sighed and I left.
I don’t know if I should confront him about it or I should let it go. I remember waking up that day with so much pain in my anus but I wouldn’t have thought he would do something like that to me until I saw the sperm on my thigh.
I’m scared to talk to someone about this and I can’t just forget about it too. What should I do?
