Due to this, he requested the personal phone number of the colleague, which she eventually gave him.

Alfonse said what he thought was the start of something good ended in regret after he received a complaint from his manager at work.

It was then made known to him that the female colleague who gave him her number had also filed a complaint, raising serious concerns that he pressured her for her contact.

In this vein, he was told not to step into the company again as his employment had been terminated.

“There is one thing at work: you don’t take your colleague’s number. My biggest mistake was at a job where my colleagues were very friendly, and I thought one of the ladies liked me. So I asked for her number, not knowing I wasn’t supposed to do that, it was mainly Instagram handles.
“So on this occasion, I asked her and she assured me it would be given. The next day I asked again, not knowing she had reported me. The manager questioned why I asked for her number. I was informed I was pressuring her for her contact. In my case, she gave me the number but still reported me, so I was told not to step foot into the company again or I might be arrested. Her report suggested I was pressuring her for her number.”
