This trope is when a character has relations with his boss's lover. If a man in an office setting ain't sleeping with the Sexy Secretary, then he's probably sleeping with the Boss's Wife. Contrary to Sleeping with the Boss him/herself, which is usually performed by those intent on Sleeping Their Way to the Top, an underling betrays his boss's trust with infidelity. Sometimes, it is brought upon by the guy hating his boss and doing it out of spite, or being seduced by the Femme Fatale wife. In most cases, it ends with a fatal love triangle between the three, either resulting in the boss's or the employee's death (sometimes, albeit more rarely, the wife's). If the underling is lucky, he will merely be Reassigned to Antarctica or fired, but if the boss is an outright villain, expect a prompt serving of You Have Failed Me if he finds out. If the boss is not quite so overt, an Uriah Gambit is also likely. However, if the boss ends up meeting an unfortunate end, the underling instead might take his job position along with his wife. Compare The General's Daughter and In Love with the Gangster's Girl. |

Red Ears: A one-page gag has an office worker feeling dismotivated with his work, so his boss tries to cheer him up by telling him how great it felt when he had rowdy sex with his wife a week ago, and suggests that his employee do the same thing. The next morning, the employee waltzes into the office full of energy. Only a passing comment about his boss's curtains reveals that he took his advice rather literally. Another joke has a guy walking up to a housewife, slowly coaxing her to undress herself for massive sums of money, before convincing her to sleep with him for an even larger sum. She agrees because her husband's business is apparently in dire financial straits. When her husband comes home later, he asks her if anyone came over. When she denies, he curses "that lazy employee of mine" for not delivering the cash money he ordered him to earlier that day. |

A backstory of Sinner's Reward shows that Jack had slept with Jill, the wife of the mob boss who hired Jack, before the two of them decided to ditch said mob boss and start their lives anew. It also overlaps with Plot-Inciting Infidelity, as said mob boss was unaware of the love affair between Jack and Jill until they left together, and the plot gets kick-started once said mob boss, upon discovering the affair, decided to have them brought back to him, resulting in everybody eventually ending up in Silent Hill. | |

Fallout 2: It's possible to work for the four gangs that rule the various parts of New Reno, and — if you play your cards right— become a made man for all four of them. The Bishop family runs the casinos, but Mr. Bishop is too busy working to pay attention to his wife. A male Chosen One working for the Bishops can seduce her with the right stats, and her bastard child (or grandchild, as the Chosen One can also sleep with her daughter) ends up running the Bishop family by the time of Fallout: New Vegas. | |

Scoundrels (2010): Cal ends up becoming Mr. Hong's lackey to Work Off the Debt he owned to him. But soon after he starts working there, Mr. Hong's Trophy Wife Nina starts throwing herself at him and they soon start having an affair. While Cal is worried about his boss finding out, he never attempts to dissuade her, mostly because she's really good in bed. It's later revealed she was not only using him for sex but to get pregnant, since Mr. Hong is infertile and she needs a child to cement her marriage to Mr. Hong. Cal is crushed when he finds out and wants to be a part of the child's life, but she threatens to have him killed if he ever tries telling her husband. | |

Eric from The Human Pet was revealed to have done this through a series of vlogs his captor, The Codemaster, found on his computer and shared with YouTube. Who initiated it and what happened after the affair is unclear, but what is clear is that it ended with a death and it is why The Codemaster is targeting Eric. | |

Taking advantage of this new ability, the shepherd went on to sleep with the Queen, kill the King and take the kingdom as his own. | |

The Bible: Defied by Joseph in the Book of Genesis, when Joseph is a slave of Potiphar's. Potiphar's wife tries to seduce him, but he resists, both out of loyalty to his otherwise benevolent master and because infidelity is a big no-no under both Jewish and Egyptian law. However, out of spite Potiphar's wife accuses him of having raped her and Joseph finds himself wrongfully imprisoned. In 2nd Samuel, Abner son of Ner is accused by King Saul's son Ishbosheth of sleeping with his father's concubine, which makes Abner so upset over the accusation that he decides that he would no longer support Ishbosheth and instead hand over the rest of the nation of Israel to David to reign as king over. |

Blacksad: Hans Karup's wife Jezebel is having an affair with Huk, his second-in-command in the Arctic Nation, the white supremacist cult they're both part of. Huk uses unsubstantiated allegations that Karup is a pedophile to engineer his betrayal and execution by his followers, even whispering that he'll take good care of Jezebel after he's gone. This backfires on Huk, as Jezebel later kills him for becoming too much of a loose cannon in her own years-long scheme against Karup and murdering her sister. | |

She seduces Brantley Foster, an employee at Pemrose, and has a sexual encounter with him. She only did so because she wanted to get back at her husband for having an affair. Foster himself only finds out that Vera is his boss' wife right after he sleeps with her. He also discovers that she's his aunt, because at that exact same moment she finds out that he's her nephew by marriage. | |

This becomes a massive worry for Hank, who rightly fears that SA—who isn't averse to a High-Altitude Interrogation—will kill him, which he almost does when he finally finds out (Hank survives with a flesh wound). | |

Initially, it's because Joe considers the boss an old friend and would never betray his trust like that—and Lana responds by murdering her husband. Then Lana discovers that Joe already has another girl anyway, so she tries to have him implicated in her husband's murder. | |

Inverted in this Not Always Working story where a homeless man has been living in the gym's locker rooms and begging food from other gym members, because he lost his previous job when he caught his wife sleeping with his boss, resulting in him being divorced and fired. The owner hires the man as a live-in maintenance worker so that he can repay those other members and get back on his feet. | |

In The Last King of Scotland, Nicholas Garrigan drunkenly has an affair with one of Idi Amin's wives, Kay, made even worse when she becomes pregnant as a result of the encounter. This ends in Kay being brutally murdered when she tries to get an abortion, and Nicholas to be tortured with meat hooks after he tries to assassinate Amin, with Amin clarifying that he knew about him and Kay all along. | |
