You are not sure how far up the corruption goes. Would you keep your mouth shut? Would you go to your supervisors? What if, in exposing the corruption, you implicate yourself?

She knows it is wrong, but she says that they had instant chemistry and that he is like no man she has ever known. She has been slipping him love notes, and he has also been writing her. You tell her that she has to stop it or else quit her job. She tearfully tells you that she can’t let him go, she needs her job, and you’ve got to keep quiet or you’ll get her fired.
