Rip My Colleague Apart

During lunch, an older female colleague asked me, "How old are you? Do you have a boyfriend? When are you planning to get married?"

I shook my head.

"Twenty-seven, no boyfriend, and no plans to get married."

She was momentarily stunned. "What are you talking about? How can a woman not get married?" she asked.

I smiled without responding.

Realizing I wasn't joking, her expression darkened. "Did you work as a escort and get caught? Is that why no man wants you?"
