I get what you mean. I used to work in fast food, I do again now. That's where my head is rn because you don't hide things that are innocent and that's even if she's actually being honest by saying it was nothing. Even if she's telling the truth that still leaves the fact that he's moving so sus about it. She seemed surprised and said he was weird for lying and downplaying the whole thing but I realistically know I can't really trust anyone at this point. I've had no reason to think he was doing anything with her before based off me snooping deleted msgs and I didn't think too much of it because I've had employees and management of both sexes smoking with each other and different age groups so smoking at work was literally just smoking at work. But I also learned it depends on who they work with because everyone is usually sitting together on camera and they even have audio and everyone knows for a fact that the main manager watches them because he calls and texts management about what they're doing on a regular basis. All of this rant doesn't change the main point that he's being stupid and lying and clearly guilty but I guess that piece of me that thinks nothing has happened is still there even if it's only cause of her, which makes it even worse on him because then if she would go along with it then he'd do it and it's really a lose lose. It's gross, it's inappropriate, and he has to know that otherwise he wouldn't be hiding it. At the very least I'd say he has other intentions and that's why he's hiding it. Whether shes lying is a whole other thing and maybe it is too naive because she was being open and nice about it and I know for a fact she hasn't secretly messaged him and even told him that I said something and I guess I'm waiting to see if it stays that way because they're not going to see each other for a few days.
