Wrongfully Terminated?.

Hi, I (21F) have been a massage therapist for 3 years now. Location: Washington

Last Tuesday, I had a client who had to be in his 80s, come in. I had been seeing this guy for a few months, and when he came in he says he wanted to chat for a bit before the session. For about half an hour, he talks about the different cultures between generations and some history stuff that I don’t specifically remember but it’s on brand for him to talk about that kind of stuff when I see him. All that to say, at some point he blatantly goes “I’m going to be honest with you, but I lust for you an I long for you”. To which I blanked and told him that I was flattered and he told me that I should be. I tried to steer the conversation back to him and asked if he had tried talking to his wife and he told me she blows him off. I responded “ah very sorry for that”. I was so uncomfortable and I didn’t say anything. At some point he compared me to the sun and said I had so much gravity that he was a comet getting pulled off his track. He proceeded to ask to an exclusive bar he had made a reservation for after I got off. To be polite, I told him I don’t date guys older than their 20s or date outside my culture (I’m Asian and he is white). And then I told him that my work and professional life will never ever touch in this lifetime and that even my coworkers didn’t see me outside of work much less my clients. At that point, the hour season was up and I say “oh dang we spent the whole hour talking” and I motion for us to leave. Then on his way out he puts his hand out to shake it and initially I didn’t but he motioned a second time and then I shook his hand and he caressed it. The minute he left my job I sent management an email. Since it was night they didn’t get back to me till the next day and I scheduled a meeting with them for Thursday.

Thursday rolls around and I come in and my manager and some front desk girl and me are in the office. I tell my boss the same thing and then my boss proceeds to tell me that it was illegal that I didn’t do a massage. It was illegal that I didn’t immediately walk out of room the second the client said what he said. That my story aligns with what the client said but that the client gave way more details and knew too much about my personal life. To which I asked like what. And he said like the stuff with my dog. (A month prior my dog passed away and the client asked why I had been out of work). I told my boss that I was sorry I didn’t walk out immediately and I wish I had “but I was on the spot and everyone knows what they’ll do in a horror movie until they’re in one.” I also told them I didn’t understand why this was escalating outside of just banning him from seeing me, I’ve seen clients get fired for less. And my boss tells me he was extremely uncomfortable with the amount of details the client knew about my life, then I asked again like what, and he said , I can’t disclose that. And that he wonders if I carry on like this with all my clients. Allll that to say sorry this was so long winded. The next day they send me a termination email an hour before I was supposed to come in.

Someone please tell me if this was ok.
