I fucked up big time
So yeah… I really fucked up. This happened last week, and I can’t stop overthinking it.
For context, I (23M) have been working in sales for about 1.5 years. It’s my first real job, and I really don’t want to mess it up. There’s this woman in my office (27F) who’s a senior team member—smart, confident, and well-connected with higher management.
Last week, we were sent on a business trip to Delhi for a sales call. It wasn’t a huge deal, so it was just the two of us. The work part went fine, but on the last night, we grabbed drinks. One thing led to another, and we ended up in her hotel room.
The next morning, I woke up realizing just how badly I might have screwed myself over. She acted totally normal—like nothing happened—but I’m spiraling. If word gets out, I’m scared I could get fired. She has way more influence than I do, and I’m just starting my career.
She’s been acting normal at work, but I feel like I’m walking on eggshells. Do I just act like nothing happened? Or should I bring it up with her to clear the air? I don’t want this to backfire on me.
Any advice?
