We would be sent to see Al-Fayed because he had a job for us to do.

00:13
turned into more.

A forced kiss, his hands gripping your face to his lips, or pulling you down on his lap
00:21
where his hands were free to explore any part of your body that he wished.
00:28
These incidents lasted seconds, but the fear instilled left me paralysed.
00:33
Al-Fayed brushed off these moments like they had never happened, but I was always reminded
00:38
not to mention them to anyone.

00:47
