Work wife

A woman with whom you work, whose proximity and frequent interaction leads to her becoming your primary female companion during work hours. She will become a substitute for your wife while you are at work, providing companionship and support, but without the emotional and sexual elements. For a time. You will eventually develop a huge crush on her, but will think you've kept it hidden. You haven't -everyone at work will think it's obvious.

Drone 1: Mr W and Mrs C really seem to make a good team.

Drone 2: Yeah, she's his work wife. He'd be lost without her.

Drone 1: Oh, she's just his work wife? So there's nothing going on there?

Drone 2 : No. But he wishes there was. So bad.
