I walked into a job interview and froze when I saw my ex sitting behind the desk. The breakup had ended badly, and his smirk made it clear he remembered.
He questioned whether I’d be comfortable working there and flipped through my resume with a clear attitude. I stayed professional and said I could separate work from personal history.
He offered me a trial period, then casually mentioned he was single as I was leaving.
Now I’m left wondering if taking the job is a mistake—or a test of how strong I really am.
