She leaked my secret that I slept with my boss
I recently ran into my boss at a get-together party and was so drunk that I agreed to go to his flat with him. I ended up sleeping with him and told one of my friends, who’s also a co-worker, about it.I thought I could trust her, but she’s blabbed it around the office. My boss hasn’t asked me anything yet.
Do you think I should admit it so people will stop talking or should I just keep quiet and hope it goes away?

Dear Gbemi,
It’s your so-called friend’s word against yours, so keep quiet. Be deliberately polite and friendly to the “friend” who blabbed so people don’t suspect how furious you are— this will discredit her and make your co-workers doubt her story.
If people ask you outright if it’s true, smile and say ‘I’ve heard that rumour, I find it very amusing,’ then change the topic. You’re not lying by saying this, but you are insinuating there’s no truth in it.
In a few weeks it will probably die out. If it doesn’t, outright sealed lips will do the trick. There’s a reason why sleeping with the boss often tops the list of sexual no-nos and this is a good one. The fact that you were drunk when it happened is no excuse.
