Don't bang the MDs wife unless he asks you to

Had a friend that was friends with the CEO of a business and he would go for dinners there and the wife would play footsie with him and eventually they started banging in secret at hotel rooms.

The CEO suspected funny business and all of a sudden as a gift bought his wife a new car. He bugged the shit out of it and recorded all the conversations in it.

They got caught and they were working in my buddy’s hometown where his parents lived and the CEO told him to “get the fuck out of this city and if he ever comes back he’ll kill him.”

A screw fell out of my friends head and he was permanently fucked up from this, lost his job and had to move away from his family. 

Rule #1 - never sleep with the boss’s wife no matter how flirty she is.

Reasonable flower arrangement is always a nice idea. Spend $50-70 tops, make sure you get one with a vase so they don't have to dig one out. 

Wine is generally a good gift as well, but some MDs are really into wine and won't love a cheap bottle. Everyone likes flowers

I’d bring a bottle of wine. Red - probably a Malbec.
