There you go then. I've also had a couple of "work wives" in a couple of different jobs, and as you say you've had that, you should surely understand that the couple of perfectly harmless touches/hugs that Addison gives Hutch are not a sign that they're in a sexual relationship. How you can make the leap to believing that is beyond me.
The dev also doesn't point anything out. Maxwell is just being Maxwell with his workplace banter, just like "Dead man walking" (although I don't recall, you might have been one of the ones loudly vocalising that as irrefutable proof of Hutch being fired).
Vivian even asks the question for you, out of her own paranoia, and Hutch not only denies it without any hint of "shit, I've been caught, I need to lie my way out of this" but he genuinely seems surprised that she would ask such a thing. If there was a relationship going on between Hutch and Addison at that point, do you think Hutch would respond like that?
