After months without a job, I finally got an offer from my dream company. Excitement quickly turned to dread, though, when I saw who my new boss was—my old college rival, Tyler Wilson, the guy who’d made my college years miserable.
My roommate, Shanti, pushed me to open the acceptance email, and for a moment, I felt thrilled. But my stomach dropped when I read I’d be working under Tyler. On my first day, he ignored me and made a pointed comment about my tattoos, reminding me of his arrogant college self. Frustrations built as I emailed him about necessary equipment upgrades, but he ignored me—until I discovered he’d canceled my order. I decided to confront him directly, storming into his office, ready to quit if it meant dealing with his pettiness.
But then, I overheard him in a meeting, advocating for me and demanding my equipment order be approved. When I confronted him, Tyler admitted he’d been trying to shield me from biases in the company, and confessed he’d once had feelings for me but handled it poorly back in college. We laughed over the misunderstanding, and he asked me out to dinner as an apology. For the first time, I saw a side of Tyler I hadn’t expected, and it left me wondering—maybe, just maybe, people really could change.
