#Person1#: What seems to be the problem?
#Person2#: Your secretary seems to think she is being harassed.
#Person1#: What? You've got to be kidding me!
#Person2#: I wish I were, but i am deadly serious. She said you invited her to dinner last week.
#Person1#: Of course I did. As recognition for a job well done. Once a month I invite the most productive employee to dinner.
#Person2#: Well, there is no problem there. But she seemed to think that you were angry when she refused, and that your motives are personal and not professional.
#Person1#: I think she's misinterpreted my intentions. What happens now?
#Person2#: Our harassment policy requires that we have a meeting with the HR manager and Miss Brown. It's quite serious. You could be reprimanded, or even fired if we find evidence that you were pressuring
#Person1#: I understand that. But I hope that we can get to the bottom fo this and show Miss Brown that she misunderstood my reaction.
#Person2#: That's the purpose of the meeting. Sometimes a mediated conversation will straighten things out, and a little discussion and apology can calm the waters.
