Your co-worker, a new employee, is painfully shy. She works, as you do, as a clerical assistant to an architect in the firm you both work for. Her architect, a boorish male with a foul mouth and grabby hands, has had trouble keeping an assistant, and you know why. But even though this fellow has continued in his usual behavior, applying it now to her, she seems to be unable to decide what to do, and seeks your advice. Knowing how these cases are decided, what would be the best advice you could give her?

A. she should say nothing; just keep working, and do a good job

B. she should act friendly, but refuse his advances

C. she should tell him she’s not interested, and just wants to work

D. the next time he tries something, she should just punch him in the eye
