I recently moved to Grand Cayman to avoid London in the recession. I m house-sharing with a friend of a friend, and came home recently to find him in a compromising position on the sofa with my boss. The problem, besides feeling as if my mum is dating my headteacher, is that my boss has told me she has strong feelings for him – but I know he is seeing at least three other women. I don t feel comfortable discussing it with either of them. Will I be judged by my boss once the truth comes out? Do I risk ruining an otherwise peaceful (and cheap) house-share to protect my boss?
不久前我搬到了大开曼岛,以远离经济衰退中的伦敦。我与一位朋友的朋友合住,但最近回家的时候,我发现他和我的老板以暧昧的姿势呆在沙发上。问题是,除了感觉就像我妈妈和我的班主任约会一样,我的老板曾告诉我,她对我的室友非常有感觉——但我知道,他至少还在和其他三个女人约会。和他们之中的任何一人讨论此事,我都感觉不自在。一旦真相大白,我的老板会不会对我有看法?为了保护老板,我是不是有可能毁了这种本来相安无事(且廉价)的合租关系?

In conventional organisations, knowledge is power. If you know something scurrilous about your boss, you have a weapon against her. In less conventional ones, knowledge is dangerous. If you have dirt on your boss, your boss can take you out. I fear your outfit may fall into the second group.
