32-year-old man falls for coworker, begins secretly dating her to avoid hurting another coworker who she rejected, who lashes out when he discovers their relationship, claiming he’s in love with her: ‘He said I was a terrible person for doing this to him.

Love is already complicated as is…now incorporate it into the workplace and add a love triangle to the mix, and there you have it, peeps: The ultimate recipe for disaster. This coworker had gotten out of a long-term relationship and waited a fairly long time to open himself up to love again. But as he spent time in the office, he organically began to fall for his coworker, and to put it simply: There were sparks! Their only roadblock, another coworker who has constantly expressed his unrequited love for her after just three dates, despite the ultimate rejection from her side. 

So they did what any respectful work-couple would do, and kept their relationship secret for a little while. But this employee no longer wanted to keep his personal life hidden from his work friends, one of whom happened to be that Romeo spin-off, and she was going to work at another company anyway, so he thought now would be the perfect time to expose their relationship to the world…Let's just say it didn't quite go to plan, and it was more as though a bride had just run off at the altar with her groom's best friend…Tension in the office has reached a new high, all because this coworker can't get over the fact that the girl of his dreams has been 'stolen' right under his nose!
