Should I Marry My Boss-to-be Or Lose A Dream Job?

My name is Shola, I have a serious problem and I need the whole of Abuja to help me out on it, if not there wil be trouble that I might never be able to contain please. This is when that adage that says; desperate moments call for desperate measures…Abuja, as you are listening, I used to date a very nice girl years ago and we loved each other. We were in the same university. In 2005, out of nowhere, her parents pulled her out of the school and sent her abroad without delay. She had told me before then that her folks wanted her to school overseas and she had no choice. I was left here missing her badly until I eventually got past it the best I could and moved on, as they do say that time heals all wound... And how long was I supposed to wait with no words from her since then; not even phone calls so I moved on with my life.


A year later, I met this girl whom fell so deeply in love with me and at that time I was going through serious financial struggles and this girl stuck by me, encouraging and helping me on countless occasions for money and other necessicities.
I am human with flesh and blood running through my vein, if I hadn’t loved her at the start of the relationship…… now I did more because I fell for her and her kind nature, any man would. We have been dating since then and even after I graduated I have not been lucky to get a good job. It has always been doing the small paying jobs and nothing solid. Recently a big company told the public they were hiring and my girl encouraged me to apply.

I was accepted out of the hundreds of people struggling to get in. On the day of my interview I showed up ready to meet with one of the managers for the interview, when I entered the room I nearly lost my balance.
Here was claris, the first girlfriend I had sitting across from me, with a big smile on her face. We hugged and were excited to see one another in years. It didn’t even feel like I was there for an interview. When I asked about her life she said she wasn’t married which was surprising as she is a very beautiful lady. Anyway, the next thing she said was the only thing that has brought me to you.

She told me that she was the head manager and that her dad owned the company and giving me a job would be so easy if only I marry her!
I have been cracking my brain on what to do because this job is the dream job we all want. It pays well as its perks and it puts you with the professionals out there.
I am so troubled about it all. I love my woman and I think I still have a little bit of feelings for claris.
What do I do, I love my woman more than claris and we are committed to each other and I can never hurt her but I also need this job. How do I escape these temptations and still have a job there. What do I do? Please help me…!
