I had a similar experience to this with a guy I used to bully
A few years ago I had a similar experience to what was portrayed in the gift. A guy I used to bully back in high school because he stuttered got a job at the hospital I work at. Things started awkwardly as I actually felt bad for the way I treated him in high school. The issue was never openly discussed. He also was really friendly to me , at first I didn't mind but over time I began to despise him for being so spineless in not mentioning the way I treated him. Strangely enough I began to bully him and humiliate him in front of work colleagues hoping to get a reaction from him which never came. Just goes to show how some people are too weak to stand up for themselves and are happy to let people walk all over them.
