I went to the office one morning and immediately knew something was wrong. From the security gate to my office, everyone was looking at me in a funny way. They’ll smile and greet me but deep down I knew the smiles and greetings weren’t normal. Immediately I sat down, my boss called me to her office. Going to the office was also another meet-and-greet episode. “What’s happening? Am I naked and I don’t know?”

My boss called me with the “Mr” prefix before she asked me to sit down. She never called me with that prefix. She cleared her throat and said, “There’s an issue.” I said in my head, “I knew it. All these smiles weren’t for nothing, but what’s the issue that everyone knows about?

A week before that day, I left the office very late. Linda, an intern was also in the office. Both of us had something going on. It was supposed to be a secret affair. That late evening, our carnal desires had the best of us so we did it in the office. The CCTV camera got a clear shot of us doing it. Before that day, everyone in the office knew the cameras were not working. Unbeknownst to me, it was fixed that very day.

My boss showed the clip to me. I couldn’t watch it. It was so embarrassing I wish I could disappear into thin air. Linda was holding the table and I was behind her. My back was directly facing the camera. Terrible view, I must confess.

I couldn’t defend myself so I apologized. I was sacked a week later and the lady’s internship was also terminated.

I was planning to wed my long-time girlfriend that same year but I lost my job. We had to postpone the wedding until further notice.

Unfortunately for me, my girlfriend found out the reason I was sacked. Her source was so credible I couldn’t lie. I confessed and also apologized for lying. “If you could cheat to jeopardize our wedding, what else won’t you do?” She asked me.

She has also left me.

Everyone Wants Me To Be A Wife To A Man Who Wants A Divorce

Just in a year, I lost two important things in my life just because of a few minutes of pleasure. I know I’ll build up and get to the top again but this is a lesson I will never forget. I’m struggling now. I see myself behind my dreams because of the job loss. I’m paying the price but guess what, I’ll be back on my feet again and when I finally do, this mistake won’t ever have a place in my life again.
