I was ecstatic when Andrew agreed to go out with me. I had been crazy about him ever since our boss Lucy had introduced me to the new boy at work two weeks before. I tried every trick to let him know I was interested, yet he seemed oblivious to my flirting. Finally, out of desperation, I boldly asked him out. He said he’d love to!
All day I prepared for our date and he looked so handsome when he pulled up at my house to pick me up that I was literally pinching myself. It was a dream date — a little awkward at first, but then we were able to talk to each other in a way that I loved. He told me all about himself and I did the same. We talked about everything, it seemed. But he held one thing back.
Our relationship blossomed and I fell madly in love. We agreed to absolute secrecy because we thought our relationship wouldn’t be well received at work. Considering his passion for me, I didn’t think he would be able to keep his hands off me even at work, but somehow he managed to. He even seemed cold and unfriendly when I spoke to him. I convinced myself he was just a good actor and was more in love with him than ever.
One morning in the office he looked so particularly attractive that I couldn’t resist. There was no-one around, so I kissed him passionately. He tried to pull away but I wouldn’t let him. Things got a bit heated, when suddenly there was our workmate Jenny in the doorway. I don’t know who was more horrified, Jenny or Andrew. Jenny ran off and Andrew ran too. I was left feeling a little nervous, but I was confident that even if Jenny told Lucy, Andrew and I would keep our jobs.
I waited impatiently all week long, but nothing happened. I cornered Jenny and she promised me that she hadn’t told Lucy due to Andrew’s insistence. I was ecstatic and resolved to be more careful with any office escapades with Andrew in the future!
I met Andrew that night and was shocked when he said he wanted to break up. I was so upset that I promised I wouldn’t try anything at work ever again, but he wouldn’t change his mind. I cried and begged him to reconsider. Finally I demanded to know why he was breaking up with me. It was then that he finally decided to tell me. He was married. Not only was he married, but he was married to our boss Lucy!
He explained that he had lost his previous job and Lucy had got him one with our firm. She had insisted that no-one know he was her husband because he was not qualified for his position and they needed the money. I was too furious to be hurt. I quit my job the next morning and have had nothing to do with our firm since — except for one anonymous phone call to the partner of our firm directing his attention to the real identity and employment history of our newest employee, Andrew!
