Sharing Hotel Room With Madam - NoCV
Please, I need to just rant small and maybe get advice, because I don’t even know how to handle this my work situation again. My work requires me to travel, and most times, I travel with a senior female colleague of mine. She is practically the right-hand person to our boss, so whenever we are going, our boss will give her money for accommodation, feeding, and transport. Now, here is where my problem starts. Because she wants to save cost (or maybe pocket the extra money, I don’t know), she will always book just one room for both of us to stay in. Nothing usually happens between us o, but anytime I remember that this woman is married, I just feel somehow. I understand that the economy is hard and people are looking for where to cut cost, but abeg, should there not be limits? Is it not strange that a grown man like me is sharing hotel rooms with a married woman just because she wants to save small change? To make matters even worse, when we are checking out of the hotel, she will still pack everything free she can find like bathing soap, and all. Nothing must waste in her eyes. I just keep shaking my head. The last time I tried to complain about us staying in the same room, she said something that almost finished my self-esteem. She said,“What is that thing you are even hiding that I have not seen? I have a husband, I have a baby boy, and I am very sure your own is not bigger than my baby boy’s own.” Since that day, I have not been myself. I keep wondering how a whole me can be compared to pampers-size. And now, another official trip is coming up, and I know we will still share the same room. Please, I don’t want advice that has to do with reporting her to our boss, because I don’t want wahala. But how can I manage this situation without losing my sanity or what is left of my ego?
