I caught my best friend's girlfriend cheating on him with my boss.
The first time it happened, I honestly didn't know what to do.
My boss and my friend's girlfriend had always seemed to get along. From the outside, I have always viewed their connection like that of a father and a daughter, so I never suspected anything was going on between them.
One evening, I stopped by my boss's place to drop off something from work.
When I walked into the sitting room, I froze.
They were both on the couch, n@ked under a blanket, kissing and laughing like they had nothing to worry about.
The moment they saw me, they jumped apart.
For a few seconds, nobody said a word.
I just stood there, trying to process what I just saw.
My boss pulled me aside, I asked him what was going on.
He looked embarrassed and told me it was the first time anything like that had happened between them.
He said it was a mistake and promised it wouldn't happen again.
She also started apologizing and begging me not to tell my friend.
I was honestly hurt.
This was my best friend we were talking about, and I knew how much he loved her.
They kept pleading with me to stay quiet.
Then they offered me some cash.
At first, I refused.
I didn't want to be part of something like this, especially when it involved someone I considered a brother.
But the truth was, I had some pressing bills to settle, and I really needed the money.
After thinking about it for a while, I took the cash.
I told myself it was a one time mistake and hoped they would never do it again.
I kept quiet and tried to move on from it.
