I am the European sales manager for a Korean IT company. For our booth at a major convention in Berlin, we had two Korean women joining us as hostess. They were responsible to organize meetings, talk with customers and collect their contact information and just be nice and friendly to everyone.
As our company is quite small and we do not have too many female employees, the president actually brought his girl friend Hee-young, although I didn't knew that at the time as no one had informed me before. The other woman that joined us was a friend of her and she had not worked with us before. Her name was Ae-young. Both decided to take the invitation to work with us mainly to have some fun and get a free trip to Europe. It was a great arrangement that helped everyone.
As requested by our Korean office before the show, I booked a twin bed room for the two girls at the nice hotel we stayed close to the convention center. I stayed in a twin bedroom as well that I shared with my boss.
On the second day of the convention quite late in the evening I was alone in my room ready to get to sleep when someone knocked on my door. I opened it and it turned out to be Ae-young. I was really surprised when she explained me that she could not get into her room because her friend and my boss would be in there together. I thought the boss was out in town having dinner and some drinks with a major supplier but obviously I was wrong.
Ae-young seemed to be quite helpless and explained me that Hee-young and my boss actually were dating each other. Frankly, I had no idea. Well, I invited her in, not really sure how to handle the situation yet. She hesitated a bit when coming in but soon sat down on a nice chair in the corner. I asked her what she plans and if she knew more about what was going on but she only said she was surprised and does not know what to do because she really did not want to kick out the guy from her room and disturbing them. I first thought about waiting a bit and then call the room but then realized that I really did not want to interrupt them in whatever they were doing.
