Saw coworker / supervisor at “massage parlor”

It’s exactly the type of place you think it is. I’m new to it, was my 3rd ever time going and haven’t seen people I know. It’s kinda nearby my apartment, which is out of the way from work. It’s a nicer spot with 10+ rooms, so the actual massage itself is good, but there’s no way anyone goes there JUST for the massage.

I was walking into a room, when I saw him leaving a different room, he was walking while talking to the attendant in her robe, and we kinda locked eyes and instantly his smile dropped, and both quickly locked our eyes forward, continuing to walk the other way.

He’s the same level as me, but 1yr more senior, so I’m currently staffed on 2 deals with him, 1 where he’s taking on a more senior role as prep for his vp promotion in the new year (very clear he’ll get the promotion, will prob be staffer soon after too).

We have a good relationship, known him since my summer analyst days, and we’ve hung out quite a bit outside and after work for the past 4 years, but only casual things. We went to concerts a few times, but with 1 or two others in a small group, and have hung out only twice in a duo (nfl game where my hometown team came in) but we are not close friends by any means. The best way I can explain is that we’d invite each other to our weddings over other coworkers, but we wouldn’t be groomsmen.

Haven’t said anything yet, happened Friday night on the way home from work. We have a call scheduled for Sunday afternoon with our md and intern, but I’ll have to see him in person on Monday anyways, since we sit at the same cluster of desks.

What the fuck do I do?

well he is the more senior one, so he would probably mention it if he thought it necessary. Just pretend like it never happened and go on completely as normal, you got this lock in
