One afternoon, his wife called the office, her voice tense and probing. She often checked on him with the same questions, and I always gave polite, vague replies. But that day, after months of pressure, I snapped. I calmly told her, “Why don’t you come and see him yourself — he’s right here with the new intern.”
Silence followed. I braced myself for anger or heartbreak, already regretting my bluntness. Instead, she laughed softly — a warm, unexpected sound that completely disarmed me. Her response changed everything.
“Oh, darling,” she said gently, “I know. She’s actually my cousin. He’s helping her get experience for her studies.” I was stunned. All the assumptions I’d built my frustration on suddenly crumbled.
In that moment, I realized how quickly we can convince ourselves of things that aren’t true. I had let rumors guide my perception without ever questioning them. The truth was far simpler — and far less dramatic — than the story I had imagined.
I left the job soon after, not out of anger but with a sense of clarity. Life has a way of revealing the truth just when we need it, often in the most unexpected ways.
