0:00I sleep with my boss every night. That
0:04is a very big secret. My name is
0:07Jessica.
0:08I am 25 years old. I work in a big
0:12office in the city. My boss is named Mr.
0:16Wilson. [clears throat]
0:18He is the owner of the company.
0:21Everyone at work is afraid of him. He is
0:25a serious man. He wears expensive suits.
0:30He speaks with a loud voice. When he
0:33walks into the room, everyone stops
0:36talking.
0:38They look down at their computers.
0:41They work very hard. They do not want to
0:44make a mistake. But I know a different
0:47Mr. Wilson.
0:49Every evening at 5:00, the work day
0:53ends.
0:55My co-workers pack their bags. They talk
0:58about their plans. I am going to the
1:01cinema. One says, I am going to have
1:05dinner with my boyfriend. Another says
1:09they look at me. Where are you going,
1:12Jessica? They ask. I always smile. I say
1:16the same thing. I am just going home. I
1:20am tired. They think I have a normal
1:23life.
1:25They think I go to a small apartment.
1:28They think I watch TV and sleep alone.
1:32But they are wrong. I wait until
1:35everyone leaves. I wait in the lobby. I
1:40look at my phone.
1:42Then a black car pulls up. It is Mr.
1:46Wilson's car. I open the door. I get
1:50inside.
1:52Mr. Wilson is driving. He looks at me.
1:56He smiles.
1:57It is a kind smile. He is not the scary
2:01boss now. Hello, Jessica. He says, "Did
2:06you have a good day?" "Yes, Mr. Wilson,"
2:09I say. It was a good day. We drive out
2:13of the city. We drive to a big house in
2:17the quiet part of town. We go inside. We
2:22cook dinner. We eat together.
2:25And then at night, I sleep in his house.
2:30I know what you are thinking. You think
2:33I am his girlfriend.
2:35You think we are in love. No, that is
2:39not true. I am not his girlfriend.
2:43He is 55 years old. He is old enough to
2:47be my father. So why do I sleep with my
2:50boss every night?
2:53Why do I live in his house? This is my
2:56story. It is a story about secrets.
3:01It is a story about being poor and it is
3:04a story about kindness.
3:07To understand my life now, you must
3:10understand my past.
3:13Two years ago, I came to this city. I am
3:16from a very small village.
3:19My village is far away.
3:22In my village, there are no big offices.
3:26There are no tall buildings.
3:28Everyone is a farmer. My father is a
3:32farmer. My mother is a housewife.
3:36We were happy, but we were very poor. I
3:39wanted to help my family. I wanted to
3:42send the money.
3:44I had a big dream. I wanted to work in
3:48an office. I wanted to wear nice
3:51clothes. I wanted to be a successful
3:54woman. I will go to the city, I told my
3:58parents.
3:59I will make money. I will take care of
4:02you. My mother cried. She hugged me. Be
4:07careful, Jessica. She said, "The city is
4:10big. The city is hard. I am strong. I
4:15said I can do this. I came to the city
4:19with only one bag.
4:21I had very little money.
4:24I found a job at Mr. Wilson's company.
4:28I was an assistant. It was a low
4:31position.
4:32The salary was not high. But I was
4:36happy. I had a job. I found a small
4:40apartment. It was not nice. It was dark.
4:45The walls were thin. I could hear my
4:48neighbors. But it was my home. I bought
4:52a small bed. I bought a small table. I
4:57felt like an adult. Every month I got my
5:01salary.
5:02I kept a little money for food.
5:05I kept a little money for rent.
5:08And I sent the rest of the money to my
5:11parents. I wrote them letters. I am
5:15doing well. I wrote the city is
5:18beautiful. My boss is nice. That was a
5:22lie. The city was lonely.
5:25And my boss, Mr. Wilson, was scary. He
5:29never looked at me. He only gave me
5:32papers.
5:33Copy this, he said. File this, he said.
5:38He did not know my name. To him, I was
5:42just a worker. But I did not mind. I had
5:46a purpose. Then everything changed.
5:50One day my phone rang. It was my sister.
5:55She was crying.
5:57Jessica, she said it is dad. He is very
6:00sick. My heart stopped. What is wrong? I
6:05asked. his heart. She said he needs an
6:09operation.
6:11It is very expensive.
6:13We do not have the money. I felt cold. I
6:18loved my father. I could not let him
6:20die. How much money? I asked. She told
6:24me the number. It was a very big number.
6:29It was thousands of dollars. I looked at
6:32my bank account. I had nothing.
6:36I only had enough for my rent and food.
6:40I will help, I said. I will find the
6:43money. I went to the bank. I asked for a
6:47loan. They said no. I was too young. I
6:52did not make enough money. I did not
6:54know what to do. I sat in my small room.
6:59I looked at the walls. I had to choose.
7:03I could pay my rent or I could save my
7:06father. It was not a hard choice. I
7:11loved my family. I took all my money,
7:14all of it. I sent it to my sister. Pay
7:19for the doctor, I said. Save dad. My
7:23father had the operation.
7:25He was okay. My family was so happy.
7:30Thank you, Jessica. They said, "You are
7:33our angel." I smiled on the phone. "I am
7:38happy to help," I said. But when I hung
7:41up the phone, I cried.
7:44I had zero dollars. The next week, my
7:48landlord came to my door. "Where is the
7:51rent?" he asked. "I am sorry," I said.
7:56"I do not have it. Can I pay next
7:59month?" No, he said you must pay now or
8:04you must leave. I begged him. Please, I
8:07said, I have a job. I will pay you. He
8:12did not care.
8:13This is a business, he said. Pack your
8:16bags. That night, I packed my bag. I
8:21left my key on the table. I walked out
8:25into the street. I was homeless.
8:29I did not tell anyone. I was too
8:32ashamed.
8:33I did not tell my friends at work. They
8:37had nice lives. They would not
8:40understand.
8:41I did not tell my parents. I did not
8:44want them to worry. I had a car. It was
8:48an old car. It was very small, but it
8:52had a roof. So, I started to live in my
8:56car. I parked my car on a quiet street.
9:01I slept in the back seat. It was
9:04uncomfortable.
9:06My legs hurt. My back hurt. The mornings
9:10were the hardest part. I had to go to
9:13work. I had to look professional. I woke
9:17up at 5 in the morning. I drove to a gas
9:21station.
9:23I washed my face in the bathroom. I
9:26brushed my teeth. I put on my makeup. I
9:31put on my office clothes.
9:33I smiled in the mirror. "You can do
9:36this, Jessica," I whispered. "Nobody
9:40knows." Then I drove to the office. I
9:44walked in. I said good morning to
9:47everyone.
9:49I made coffee for Mr. Wilson.
9:51[clears throat]
9:52I typed papers. I answered phones.
9:56I was very hungry.
9:58I did not have money for lunch. When my
10:02co-workers went to the restaurant, I
10:05stayed in the office. Aren't you hungry,
10:08Jessica? They asked.
10:10No, I said. I had a big breakfast.
10:14That was a lie. I had no breakfast. I
10:18drank water. Water was free. This
10:22continued for 2 months. It was winter.
10:27The weather got cold.
10:29At night, my car was like a freezer. I
10:33had two blankets, but I was still
10:35shivering.
10:37I could see my breath in the air. I was
10:40tired all the time. My eyes were red. I
10:45lost weight. My clothes became big on
10:48me. One day, I made a mistake. I was
10:53very tired.
10:54I was sitting at my desk. Mr. Wilson
10:58asked for a file. I stood up to get it,
11:02but my head felt dizzy. The room spun
11:06around. My legs felt weak. I fell down.
11:11Boom. I hit the floor. Everything went
11:15black. When I opened my eyes, I was on a
11:19sofa.
11:21It was the sofa in Mr. Wilson's office.
11:25Mr. Wilson was standing there. He looked
11:28worried. He was holding a glass of
11:31water. "Jessica," he said. "Are you
11:35okay?" I tried to sit up. "I am sorry,"
11:40I said. "I am so sorry, Mr. Wilson.
11:44[clears throat] I will get back to
11:45work." "No," he said. His voice was
11:49soft. "You fainted. You are not well.
11:53He looked at me closely. "When did you
11:56last eat? I looked down. I could not lie
12:00to him. His eyes were kind." "I don't
12:04know," I whispered. "Jessica," he said.
12:08"What is going on?" I started to cry. "I
12:12was so tired of being strong.
12:16I was so tired of being hungry."
12:19The tears fell down my face.
12:22I am sorry, I sobbed. I have no money. I
12:27sent it to my father. He was sick. Mr.
12:30Wilson sat down next to me. He did not
12:34shout. He listened. "Where do you live?"
12:38he asked. I was silent. I did not want
12:42to say it. "Jessica," he said. "Tell
12:46me." "I live in my car," I whispered.
12:50Mr. Wilson looked shocked. He looked at
12:53the window. It was raining outside. It
12:57was a cold, dark day. "You sleep in your
13:01car?" he asked. "In this weather," I
13:05nodded. "It is okay," I said. "I have
13:09blankets."
13:11He stood up. He walked around the room.
13:14He looked angry. I was scared. I thought
13:18he was angry at me. I thought he would
13:21fire me. I am sorry, I said again.
13:26Please don't fire me. I can work. I will
13:30be better. He turned to me. Fire you, he
13:34said. Jessica, I am not going to fire
13:38you. I am angry at myself. I see you
13:42every day. I did not know you were
13:45suffering. He took his coat. "Get your
13:49things," he said. "Where are we going?"
13:52I asked. "We are going to get your car,"
13:55he said. "And then we are going to my
13:59house." "Your house?" I asked. My eyes
14:03were wide. "Yes," he said. "I have a big
14:07house. I have five bedrooms. I live
14:11alone. You cannot sleep in a car. you
14:15will stay with me. I shook my head. No,
14:20Mr. Wilson, I cannot. It is not right.
14:23You are my boss. I am a human being
14:26first, he said. I cannot let you sleep
14:30in the street. You will stay in the
14:33guest room. You will stay until you save
14:37money, until you get an apartment.
14:41That is an order. He smiled when he said
14:45it. It was a joke, but he was serious.
14:50So that evening, I followed him. I drove
14:53my old car behind his expensive car.
14:57We arrived at his house. It was
15:01beautiful. It had a big garden.
15:04Inside, it was warm. It smelled like
15:08wood and clean sheets. He showed me a
15:12room.
15:13It had a big bed with soft pillows.
15:17It had a window that looked at the
15:18garden.
15:20It had a private bathroom with a hot
15:22shower. "This is your room," he said.
15:26"Here is the key." I stood in the middle
15:30of the room. I could not believe it. An
15:34hour ago, I was sleeping in a cold car.
15:38Now, I was in a palace. Why? I asked
15:42him, "Why are you doing this?" Mr.
15:46Wilson looked sad for a moment. "My
15:50daughter," he said. "She lives in
15:52another country. I miss her. I hope that
15:57if she was in trouble, someone would
15:59help her. So, I am helping you." That
16:04night, I took a long, hot shower.
16:08I put on clean clothes.
16:10I ate a hot dinner with Mr. Wilson. We
16:14ate chicken and vegetables.
16:17It was the best food I ever tasted.
16:21Then I went to the big bed. I lay down.
16:25It was so soft. I felt safe. For the
16:30first time in months, I slept through
16:32the whole night. That was 6 months ago.
16:36Since then, my life has changed.
16:40I still work at the office.
16:43I am still Mr. Wilson's assistant,
16:46but our relationship is different now.
16:50At the office, we are professional.
16:53I call him Mr. Wilson. He gives me work.
16:58We do not talk about our secret. But in
17:01the evening, we are friends. We have a
17:04routine.
17:06At 5:00, we leave. We drive home. I cook
17:11dinner. I like to cook. I make soup,
17:15pasta, and rice.
17:17Mr. Wilson likes my cooking. This is
17:21delicious, Jessica. He says, "I usually
17:25eat alone. It is nice to share a meal.
17:29We talk about many things.
17:32He tells me stories about his life. He
17:35tells me about his business. He teaches
17:38me things. You are smart, Jessica. He
17:42tells me you should not be an assistant
17:46forever. You should study. He brings me
17:50books. He teaches me about business. He
17:54teaches me about management.
17:57Read this. He says, learn this. I study
18:01hard. I want to make him proud.
18:05Sometimes we watch TV.
18:08We watch the news or a movie. We laugh.
18:12He is not a scary boss at home. He is
18:15funny. He likes to tell jokes. He has a
18:20dog named Buster.
18:22Buster loves me. I take Buster for walks
18:26in the garden. I feel like I have a
18:29family again.
18:31Mr. Wilson is like a father to me. He is
18:35kind and protective.
18:37But there is a problem. The problem is
18:41the people at work. They are suspicious.
18:44They see things. One day, a coworker
18:48named Sarah came to my desk.
18:51Sarah does not like me. She wants to be
18:55the assistant. She is jealous.
18:58Jessica, she said, I saw you yesterday.
19:03Oh, I said, I looked at my computer. I
19:06was nervous. Where? I saw you in Mr.
19:10Wilson's car. She said you were driving
19:13away with him. Why? My heart beat fast.
19:19I had to think of a lie. Oh, that I said
19:23he he needed help with some files. We
19:27went to a meeting. Sarah narrowed her
19:30eyes. A meeting at 6:00.
19:34Yes, I said it was urgent. She did not
19:38believe me. You are spending a lot of
19:41time with him. She said, "You are his
19:45favorite now." She leaned closer. "Are
19:49you dating him?" "No," I said. My face
19:52turned red. "No, Sarah. He is my boss.
19:56That is all." She laughed. "Sure," she
20:00said. "Just be careful, Jessica. People
20:04are talking. I felt sick. People were
20:08talking. They were gossiping.
20:10Did you hear? They whispered. Jessica is
20:14with the boss.
20:16That is why she still has a job. That is
20:19not fair. I wanted to scream. I wanted
20:24to tell them the truth.
20:26I am not his girlfriend. I was homeless.
20:30He saved me. But I could not. I was too
20:35embarrassed.
20:36I did not want them to know I was poor.
20:40I did not want them to know I slept in a
20:42car. It was my shame.
20:46So I kept the secret. Every day the
20:50gossip got worse.
20:52I walked into the lunchroom and everyone
20:55stopped talking.
20:57They looked at me. They whispered. I
21:01felt alone again.
21:03I had a warm bed, but I had no friends
21:06at work. One evening, I was crying in
21:10the kitchen at Mr. Wilson's house.
21:14I was cutting onions, but I was crying
21:18because of the stress.
21:20Mr. Wilson walked in. [clears throat] He
21:23saw my face. Jessica, he asked, what is
21:27wrong? I wiped my eyes. Nothing, I said.
21:32It is the onions.
21:34It is not the onions, he said. Sit down.
21:39We sat at the table. It is the people at
21:42work. I said, "They think they think we
21:46are together. They think I am your
21:49girlfriend. They hate me." Mr. Wilson
21:53sighed. He looked angry again. They are
21:57foolish. He said I should leave. I said
22:02I have saved some money now. I can rent
22:05a small room. I should move out. Then
22:09the gossip will stop. I did not want to
22:13leave. I liked living there. I liked the
22:17safety. I liked the company. Mr. Wilson
22:21looked at me. He was quiet for a long
22:25time.
22:26You can leave if you want, he said. But
22:30do not leave because of them. Do not let
22:33foolish people change your life. You
22:36have done nothing wrong. I have done
22:39nothing wrong. We are helping each
22:42other. I was lonely. You were homeless.
22:47We are friends. That is a good thing. He
22:51put his hand on the table. Jessica, you
22:54are working hard. You are learning.
22:58Soon you will not be an assistant. You
23:02will be a manager.
23:04You will show them who you are. Do not
23:07run away. His words made me feel strong.
23:11He was right. Why should I run away? I
23:15was doing my best. Okay, I said. I will
23:19stay. Good. he said. Now, let's eat. The
23:24next day, I went to work. I held my head
23:28high.
23:30Sarah looked at me. She whispered to
23:33another girl. I did not look down. I
23:36looked at her. I smiled. "Good morning,
23:40Sarah," I said. "Here are the reports."
23:44She looked surprised.
23:47She took the papers. She did not say
23:49anything.
23:51I worked harder than ever.
23:54I learned everything about the company.
23:58Mr. Wilson gave me more responsibility.
24:026 months later, there was a big meeting.
24:06All the staff was there. Mr. Wilson
24:09stood at the front. I have an
24:12announcement, he said. We need a new
24:15project manager.
24:18This job requires hard work. It requires
24:22organization.
24:24And it requires someone I can trust.
24:28Everyone looked around. Who would it be?
24:31The new project manager is Jessica, he
24:35said. There was silence.
24:38Then people started to clap, but Sarah
24:41stood up. Mr. Wilson, she said her voice
24:45was loud.
24:47Is this fair? We all know why she got
24:51the job. We know she lives with you. The
24:54room went very quiet.
24:57Everyone looked at me. The secret was
25:00out. My face burned. I wanted to hide
25:05under the table. Mr. Wilson did not get
25:09angry. He looked at Sarah calmly. "Yes,"
25:13he said.
25:14Jessica lives in my house. The crowd
25:18gasped.
25:19She lives in my guest room, he
25:22continued.
25:23Do you want to know why? He looked at
25:26me. He waited for my permission. I
25:30nodded. It was time to tell the truth.
25:34Jessica came to this city with nothing.
25:37Mr. Wilson told them
25:39she worked for us for 2 years. She sent
25:43every dollar to her sick father. She
25:46saved his life, but she lost her home.
25:50For two months, she slept in her car.
25:54She came to work every day hungry and
25:58cold, and she smiled.
26:01She never complained.
26:03He looked at the staff. They were
26:06listening with open mouths. "I found
26:09out," he said. I offered her a room, not
26:13because she is a woman, but because she
26:17is a human being who needed help. And in
26:20the last 6 months, she has studied every
26:24night.
26:26She knows this business better than
26:28anyone.
26:29She earned this job. He looked at Sarah.
26:34Does anyone else have a question? Sarah
26:37sat down. She looked ashamed.
26:40She looked at the floor. "I am sorry,"
26:44she whispered.
26:46My co-workers looked at me differently
26:48now.
26:49They did not see a girl who was sleeping
26:52with the boss.
26:54They saw a girl who was strong.
26:57They saw a girl who loved her family.
27:01After the meeting, people came to me. I
27:04did not know Jessica. One said, "You are
27:08very brave." Another said,
27:11"Congratulations on the job." I smiled.
27:16This time it was a real smile. That
27:19evening I drove home with Mr. Wilson.
27:24Thank you. I said to him, "You earned
27:27it." He said, "I still live with Mr.
27:30Wilson. [clears throat]
27:31I am saving my money. Soon I will buy my
27:36own house. I will move out.
27:39I will miss him. I will miss our
27:42dinners. I will miss the dog. But I know
27:46we will always be friends.
27:49Life is strange.
27:51Sometimes the hardest times lead to the
27:54best things. I thought my life was over
27:58when I was sleeping in that cold car.
28:02But it was just the beginning. I learned
28:05that it is okay to ask for help.
28:09I learned that there are good people in
28:12the world. And I learned that hard work
28:15pays off. My name is Jessica.
28:19I sleep with my boss in his house in the
28:22guest room.
28:24And I am proud of my story. You might
28:27feel alone right now. You might have a
28:30big problem, but do not give up. There
28:34is always hope. There is always a new
28:38day and maybe, just maybe, there is a
28:42friend waiting to help you. Keep going.
28:45You can do this.
