My Job Is At Risk Because Of Office Romance Involving My Boss by Nobody: 1:26am On Apr 21, 2023
Sharing this story with you is risky because it's a true story and it actually happened, but I'm not deterred as I'm on a mission to sanitize our society of all forms of immorality. Now lets get right into it without any further ado.

My office is located in Gwarinpa in Abuja and my boss is a very busy man who hardly stays in the office. We have another branch in Guzape (Asokoro extension) where my boss hired a lady as the manager in charge. This particular lady is fair and very endowed both ways (I mean front and back). She's attractive too, no doubt. She happens to be a single mother with a son. My boss on the other hand is a family man with four kids.

I had just joined the company when I started noticing that this lady usually drives the company's Mazda salon car to our branch (the headquarters) every week (Thursdays to be precise) to hold a "private meeting" with my boss. Word in the office has it that she was coming for weekly "reporting". Honestly I never once bothered to try and find out what was really going on as I'm the type that is very serious with my work.

Not until the guys in the office started bantering in groups and talking about what was actually going on. Again, I shrugged off their conversation because what's my business, and besides, I don't do office gossip. Well, not until one fateful day....

As I was hurrying up a task given to me by my boss in my usual seriousness with my work, I needed to rush to his office to get his final approval on something that he had asked me to do when I ran into the unbelievable!

Was I dreaming? Was my eyes paining me? For Pete's sake, what was this? In broad daylight that evening, as I knocked, my boss answered "come in" nonchallantly. I don't know what he was thinking. Lo and behold, there they were, he and our branch manager both standing on their feet and very close to each other with my boss unzipping her dress with his both hands! I was embarrassed and so were they. Usually, whenever this lady is around my boss would immediately close all his window curtains. This normally happens around or after closing (remember I told you I'm a serious office worker, so I stay back a lot because naturally I work late into the night everyday).

Since that incident, whatever I say in any meeting involving this particular lady is always accepted and approved by her whether it makes sense or not. In fact, she's trying to move close to me and become my friend by force now to the extent that she even chats with me privately now regularly.

While a man has the full right to do whatever he likes, my question is why do this in the workplace? Why would my boss engage in office romance right in the office building? And why is the lady in question now trying to get close to me by force now? Am I in any real danger? I don't want to lose my job. Please what do I do?

The lady is your rate determining step...or rather put...job determining state.

She has given you an opportunity to go closer to her. Op, make friends with her for your own good.
And while at it, consciously make her see you as the private kind of guy. However you'll do it is your business, I am not you.

You just need to be serious with your job as you've been doing and this time around, be very careful. She could be a blessing or bad luck for you in the office. Now is the time to be more than careful

You are being set up for the firing line. Your boss is very much aware of every moves this lady is making towards you. Be careful. Wisdom is profitable to direct. But you will be okay las las.

If your boss had wanted to fire you for walking in on them, he would have done that the very day the incident happened except if your boss is not the owner of the company. Because a similar thing happened to a guy in Lagos where he walked in on his boss with another lady late in the evening. The guy was sacked the next morning and he was prevented from entering the company premises by the security the very next day.


About the lady coming close to you, don't make enemies with her (you don't need enemies at work) but be very careful. Try to act as if the incident never happened and don't try to take undue advantage of her weakness by pushing for thing unnecessary through her. Don't involve in office gossip and it may be wise to not mention the incident to people in the office.

The lady getting close to you is just a manipulation tactic to get you to keep hush.

Secondly your boss office romance is none of your business, keep quiet do the job that pays you and go home. You will find that minding your business will get you really far in life.

For the fact that maybe you haven't been caught doesn't make you a saint.

The tone of your story at some point sounds like you want to punish them. Just mind your business otherwise you’ll be terminated if you try that thing on your mind. Don’t push above your weight, don’t question his ‘extracurricular’ activities as it’s not part of your job description.

I rarely criticize people above me in the food chain cos maybe I’d do worse than them. Just pray to be the better at every facet of life you find yourself.

…AND MIND YOUR BUSINESS

I must tell you Op, bringing this to public domain is very unprofessional of you!

What makes you think neither your boss nor the branch manager is a nairalander?

On a serious note, what is your own sef?
Na you be boss abi na the man?

Two consenting adults!

You are not the "office provost", respect yourself by minding your business!!

Make friends with the lady so she doesn't see you as a threat and don't try to take undue advantage of her or the situation!!

Classic marking your territory techniques...

I am not sure why everyone, including the OP can't see it....did you not say your Boss was the person who told you to come in?

Clearly he wants you (and probably every other person in the office) to know he is with the lady so you all either give her her "respect" or more likely stay your lane.

As long as you do the 2 things I suggested above, you will be fine. Your sacking will only come when you make your boss feel endangered, any stupid gossip or extreme "friendship" with the lady could probably be the death knell.

If you're a lady and assuming the story is true then they've planned to have a party with you probably, it's the only way your boss might have allowed you walk in on him. Exchange pleasantries but don't get involved, loose people typically catch different things on their adventures.

why fear, there's no need to fear bro.
what you have seen you cannot unsee it, Thank God the boss (man) did not tackle you so relax he probably won't cos fuccking is a normal thing.
As for the boss(woman) like the other person said get close to her but don't fucck her o abeg cos that would anger the senior man already fuccking her.
And don't bring up the topic even if she does tell her that you have forgotten it, its now in the past.
And if she approves anything you asked her to in the office, fine, its your gain enjoy!
Women are cunny so just use your head, as long as it benefits you be cool.

Forget all the office pretense, we are humans and it's blood that runs in our veins

Just be ordinary friend & never be too close. Don't go beyond that ordinary friend. This is a setup. Any day the boss sees u close to her, u re gone. Bosses don't like competition.
I am talking out of experience.
My colleague who happens to be boss side chick was so fond of me. I was redeployed to a department that wasn't in any relationship with my field of study. This is to make sure that there is distance between me & my colleague. Next was query & surcharge started flying up & down. Every little thing I do, must scrutinized & reviewed.
I have to hunt for job and later resigned

Chairman, what this woman is trying to do is to create a love triangle. That is, a love relationship between you, herself and your boss. She is doing this to spark up jealousy between you and your boss in order for him to fire you or two of you to clash (which must happen soon as you get closer to her). Here she wants to be the one playing two of you against each other.

On the other hand, not getting close to her would make her feel uncomfortable, and make her clash with you, and then you would be fired, you know.

So, you are in-between the devil and the deep blue sea. Your boss is the devil, while the woman is the deep blue sea.

My advice to you is for you to start hunting for another job before two close in on you. Be wise!
