KISSED MY VP… HELP!!!

Current summer analyst in M&A. My VP was showing me something on his monitor and told me to pull up a chair. I sat next to him and he was showing me something on his far monitor so I leaned in to see. Idk what came over me but next thing I know I’m moving closer to give him a kiss on the cheek.

He gave me a death stare then said “did you seriously just fucking do that” super sharply and asked me to give him some space as he was red in the face. His eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head. All the analysts/associates near his desk stared wth their mouths open and some chuckled at me as I walked away. How do I fix this before I get fired? Am I actually fucked? I need this return offer and can’t have rumors of my actions getting around other firms.

I’m sitting at my desk rn sweating bullets and am afraid to show my face near my VP. HELP!!!!!
