I work at a large company with 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: three offices in one city. I'm a consultant and I 12 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: work from home, but once a month I visit the 13 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: offices to check in with my team. One guy on 14 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: my team with flirting with me for months, and last 15 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: month he called me and told me to be sure 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: to stop by his office before I left. I went 17 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: to see him and he asked me to take a 18 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: walk with him. We walked to his car and he 19 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: had roses on the seat and lunch from Popeyes. I 20 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: sat in the car and ate cold chicken with him 21 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: because it was a nice gesture. He opened up about 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: the many dreams he's had of us, making love. Then 23 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: he said he never dreamed it would be in a car. 24 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: I was caught off guard by that statement, but it 25 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: made me want to have sex with him in a 26 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: car for the first time, just because I'd never done 27 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: anything spontaneous like that. I cheated on my hobby before, 28 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: and I regretted it. In that short period of time, 29 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: while I ate my cold chicken, I told myself that 30 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: I should try this guy out in the car and 31 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: then I'd never have to see him again. I asked 32 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: if he had some form of protection, and his face 33 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: lit up. We moved to the back seat and we 34 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: got down to it. His windows are tenanted, so it 35 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: was perfect. It was not until I climbed off the 36 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: back seat, looking a hot mess, that I saw the 37 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: security guard on the golf cart staring at me. I 38 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: realized who the security guard was. He's been to our 39 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: house before and he knows my husband. I told my 40 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: coworker to stay in the car, and he did. I 41 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: went over and spoke to the security guard and asked 42 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: if we are good, and he smiled and said it's cool. 43 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: I told my husband I saw the guy, and he 44 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: said he hasn't seen him in years. I breathed a 45 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: sigh of relief. Can I trust the security guard to 46 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: keep this between us? What a crazy question. I mean, 47 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: who knows if you can trust him or not? I mean, 48 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: I know your husband can't trust you, that is what 49 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: I do know. And it's interesting that you didn't think someone, 50 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: I mean anyone would see you guys in the back seat, 51 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: that you didn't care or think that somebody might see you. 52 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: I don't get that from you at all. He must 53 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: have been really close to the security guard because you 54 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: said the guy's windows were tenanted. So your question really 55 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: is do Steve and I think he'll tell your husband? 56 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: That really is your question. He might and he might not. 57 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna say no at this point because 58 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: he's a man, and men don't usually get that deep 59 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: with it like some women do, you know, and tell everything. 60 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: But what he might do the security guard is hold 61 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: it over your head for his benefit, like he might 62 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: try to sleep with you in the future or something 63 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: like that. So if you don't have a problem with 64 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: giving the security guard some if he asked, don't worry 65 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: about it. It wouldn't be the first time, right or 66 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: the second time that you cheated on your husband, and 67 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: yes I am judging, Yes I am Steve. 68 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: Let me just start about saying in this letter right here, 69 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: I'm beyond overjoyed that you are not my wife.
