Abt 133 rape charges in court this yr & all set aside on "technicality." All. Victims rarely report rape in Nig. but wen they do, they meet occlusion from the "big boys" & oppressive limitations which our courts seem to smooch with complicity.(None of the cases presided by women)

So, your boss was always travelling abroad for all the international conferences and meetings. He neither extended any of those invitations to you, nor carried you along. But now that all the conferences are on Zoom, you have represented him in like 5 conferences already.
