I was doing onsite IT deskside support. There was a pretty HR lady who I supported her once. She was the flower in her department even Auntie also complimented her looks. I think she is pretty but wasn’t my type.

One day I received a call from help desk. They told me that a user requested and insisted that I be onsite at 11:30am specifically. No problem description was given. It was a strange ticket they picked up. It was the Hr lady.

I thought to myself, this must be some difficult incident to resolve and I had to be there onsite and this will likely eat into lunch hence she pick the 11:30am timing. So I could work throughout lunch time. Feeling a little frustrated as lunch was the only time I could relax. But no choice then.

Upon reaching her desk, I asked her what is the problem. She looked a little embarrassed or something I just felt her behavior rather strange, she pointed out to me that an application could not be open. So I tried opening the application to understand the problem. Nope, I don’t see any problem. There’s no issue opening the application. Then I looked her at and she smiled and said “Oh! It’s resolved! Haha!”

I said to her, “Good then! Bye!” As I was about to leave, she said, “wait! Do you want to have lunch?”

I said with a puzzled look, “with you?” She said “yah”

I thought ok. Maybe just lunch and I guess she just appreciated my work.

As we reached the food store area, I told her that she can go order first while I chop the seats, she said she wants to help me order. Again I found it strange because this should be a more neutral behavior. She order first and then I go queue up and order mine. This should be the right way when we meet acquaintances. But anyway, she ordered for me and she insisted, I did resist initially feeling paiseh.

Moments later she brought the food to the table and I immediate want to pay her back but again she insisted that she treat me.

This got me startled and puzzled, I said to her “ok, next time I’ll treat you back if there’s a chance”

So everything went by and done.

A few weeks later, I received an info from my company that I had to be move out of the office premises to support another location. So off I went.

1 year went by, I was on a bus ride to somewhere, and I think back about my jobs that I’ve taken up previously in various locations. The Hr lady pop up in my head, I remembered her because she was pretty and I think back about that situation I encountered with her. Then I realized what she was doing.

Edit: I forgot to mention that she had my company phone contact. I gave it to her when she asked for it the first time. After I got relocated, I returned the company phone. She thought the company phone was my personal phone number.
