That's why I asked… I don't want to get in trouble, much less at my workplace.
After changing my alarm to wake up a little earlier than usual to buy the coffee, I went to sleep determined to give him the coffee and stop getting myself into these kinds of situations with him again.
I don't think I'll ever tell him I'm Connor… so it's best if I keep the distance we should normally have as employer and employee.
