Would it be smart to talk about this or should I just assume and go ghost?

So there was this girl I liked at my job. She Nicely rejected and I said ok and moved on. Later she told me she’s secretly dating one of my coworkers and to tell nobody. He’s surprisingly the guy I asked if she liked me too. But I knew him since I joined the job so I have a policy with these situations, if I know the guy first I respect the girlfriend but I don’t talk unless he wants me to or he says it’s ok. If I know the girl first I’ll talk to the guy without a problem. So to the question, I’m not into cheating and think it’s wrong and will never do it. But he probably doesn’t know that , so is it smart to ask him if it’s ok to talk to her as friends it’ll probably be only work related but still I don’t want to lose a friend but she’s my friend too I don’t talk to her much but still

Having her keep you in the friend-zone is a massive L for you. Stop being her little beta simp orbiter and find a girl who actually likes you. Have some self-respect!

No like I accept it. I asked her out and she said no but respectfully. I say we can still be friends. I barely talk to her or text her so I wouldn’t say I’m simping over her. Only thing now is the only females that are attracted to me are wayyy older like 27-40 only one of them I’m attracted to so I’m getting to know her. But I was seeing if it’s smart to ask the guy that question.
