“Once,” she admits.
“When? Recently?”
“A year ago. We were working late, and I questioned something. He lashed out and pushed me against a wall.”
I grit my teeth. “Did you tell Zane? Did anyone witness it?”
“We were alone. I told Zane the next day, and he talked with Paul. From then on, he only made little comments here and there. That’s when Zane implemented sexual harassment training.”
“I should have punched that little shit.”
“It would do no good and probably put you in jail.”
“I don’t care. It would make me feel better. What kind of coward puts his hands on a woman?”
“He’s a misogynist, so it doesn’t surprise me. After we reached a milestone with one of our projects, we all went out for drinks where he approached me half drunk and said that I shouldn’t be at the bar since my contribution was limited and that women were good for one thing.”
“Why didn’t you tell me this before?”
“It was months ago. You can’t do a rewind. I laughed it off and stayed away from him the rest of the night. He’s hopeless.”
I sigh deeply; my frustration continually rising inside me. I wanted to find Paul and kill him with my bare hands. But, I could also settle for making sure to tailor my plan to make his life more complicated. As an owner, I had a right to ask for contractual revisions. I’d teach him to mess with me, and her.
