Regina’s Secret Plan: A Dental Office Dilemma
Our storyteller, a dental assistant, is in quite the predicament. Regina, the new assistant, is on a temporary contract and has been causing some issues in the office. Not only is she struggling with her work tasks, but she’s also been invading our storyteller’s personal space, despite being told to stop. But the real kicker? Regina has confided in our storyteller that she plans to get pregnant as soon as she gets a permanent contract. Now, our storyteller is torn: should they tell their boss about Regina’s plan, or keep it to themselves? ♀️ Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
