So, you may think you are both being super-secretive and totally get off on it, but I can tell you now that most people can see it a mile away and they will generally leave both of you to it. I mean, it gives everyone else something to talk about 🙂

1. Keep your emails decent:
This is a case where less is more. Make sure that whatever you send is not explicit, rather subtle and secretly suggestive at most. Naturally you will be squirming in your chair no matter what the content.
2. Little touches:
Who knew there could be such magic in the air between two people. Whether one of you is retrieving a file from the other’s desk or handing the other a teaspoon. The chemistry is likely to be palpable and you will probably not be productive for the next hour.
3. Stares:
This is one way to let the other person know that you are undressing them with your eyes. A well-timed gaze can leave you imagining your lips on theirs and vice versa.
4. Clandestine kisses:
On-purpose-not-on-purpose situations where you two are the last in the (non-glass) boardroom, a deserted passage or the communal kitchen. It will be exciting and daring as hell to exchange the briefest of kisses.
5. Lunch time rendezvous:
I would suggest always keeping a low profile. Do not walk out together clutching at one another. Either leave a few minutes apart or occasionally, very casually, together. Probably not ideal to sit at the local café or restaurant, rather choose a quirky and discreet munch place or plan a picnic in good weather.
6. Bosses table Boardroom table:
A lot of office trysts will probably see a tumble on the boardroom table, an office desk or your least-favourite colleagues chair as #relationshipgoals. These days with CCTV cameras, open plan offices and glass boardrooms, it is unlikely one will get the opportunity. But no harm in fantasising about it and potentially having to work late one night…
7. Notes:
Being a shameless romantic, I believe that inventive ways of passing your loved one a note is far sexier than texting them excessively and grinning at your phone. Firstly, you should really be working and secondly, a rolled up “I want you” post-it note wrapped around a pen will be remembered long after your backlight has faded from the text having popped up on to your phone screen.
8. Dress to impress:
You will probably find yourself wearing tighter shirts, shorter skirts, and curve-hugging garments. Heels may even come back into your repertoire, if they are not already. Your makeup will be #onfleek and you will be radiating beauty through your ceaseless smile and generally loved-up glow. No better feeling in the world!
9. Talk is cheap:
Definitely fun to keep your work bestie up to speed, if you are lucky enough to have one. But generally, I would not recommend giving your colleagues a running commentary. You do not know their real views on the matter, nor should it be any of their business. Rumours are hard to squash at the best of times, do not blow the smoke in their direction and then show them the flames.
10. The aftermath:
Unfortunately, most good things can come to an end. This is where you have to be professional, courteous and respectful. Take a day’s leave if you need to. If you do the crime, you have to do the time. It could come to an amicable and mutual stop, or you may be a bit heart broken, or maybe they will be. At the end of the day, be kind and hope for the same in return.
