I never expected to get caught in the middle of someone else’s scandal… But when the owner of my company got exposed for having an affair, everything spiraled out of control.
The owner of my company was secretly dating one of the managers.
Everything was hush-hush — until he accidentally sent a photo to his wife… with his mistress clearly visible in the background.
The wife showed up at our office furious, demanding to meet “the woman in the picture.”
Panicked, he turned to me and said something I’ll never forget:
“Please pretend to be her — I’ll fire you, pay six months’ salary, and help you land on your feet.”
I said yes. Got paid. Got a better job.
And no one ever found out the truth… except me.
Would you have taken the deal Or told the truth?
