I’m technically affiliated with the company I met my papa through as an executive, though I don’t actually go into the office. But I’ve fallen for someone. I never thought I’d fall in love.

(I can tell he’s trying to hide the fact that he has other women, but maybe because I’m a woman, I end up noticing things even when I don’t want to know. I’ve seen things I didn’t want to see, he’s gradually started treating me carelessly, and he breaks his promises more and more often…)
Out of spite, I started secretly seeing someone else, just like my papa, and ended up falling for a guy my age. His kindness really touched me. He’s incredibly gentle and considerate when we’re intimate. My papa was the one who first made me realize something was going on when he said, “You seem to be having fun lately.”
I’m the worst.
Should I keep seeing him in secret like this, or should I end things?
(I feel guilty continuing to see him because he almost confessed his feelings to me…)
I know I’m a hopeless idiot, but I’d really appreciate any advice.

Aren’t you actually worried? This sounds more like a giddy humblebrag.
If a female friend came to me with a similar story, I’d listen patiently without interrupting, then say at the end, “Yeah. I don’t care! I really, truly don’t care! What am I even listening to here?”

You’re not stupid at all.
Being in love is a wonderful thing, isn’t it?
Your papa (a male supporter) pointed it out, and you realized that the reason you’ve been enjoying yourself lately is because of him, right?
For me, there’s only one choice.
Tell your papa (a male supporter) that you’ve met someone you like.
Thank him for everything he’s done for you and say, “Thank you for helping me realize this.”

That’s more or less how the world works.
As for your question, you need to decide where you stand. It sounds like you’ve already more or less figured that out from your question, so why not tell your boyfriend, “Please don’t expect this relationship to go any further”?
You seem to have an arrangement with your papa as well, but he sounds like a capable person, so I think going a little further should be okay.
The real issue is your boyfriend, though…

> Should I keep seeing him in secret, or break up with him?
I think it would be best to keep seeing your boyfriend while continuing your relationship with your papa.
I doubt your papa ultimately intends to marry you, so I think he would naturally assume that you might have a boyfriend as well.
That said, your papa could be the jealous type, so basically, I think you should date both your boyfriend and your papa without telling either of them.
If you got another papa, things could get difficult if your current papa were possessive. But I think most papas simply assume that it’s normal for you to have a boyfriend.
Some papas might even listen to you and give advice about your boyfriend. I don’t know whether your current papa is that type, so for now, I think it’s best to keep it secret.
You probably don’t need to overthink it.
On the other hand, if you feel that you’re being unfair to your boyfriend, that’s an issue for you to deal with personally. In that case, I think you should consider moving on from papa-katsu.

Unless you set up a company specifically for that purpose, making your partner an executive at your own company is something only a hopeless idiot would do. So I figured you’re both equally at fault.
Do whatever you want.
