White lie for no reason

I am working for a contractor that has been visiting a different client. I told my co-worker that one of the client's employee's said something that she didn't. I don't even know why I lied. It was senario that we were told happened, but have never witnessed it myself. This lead to my co-worker telling someone else who was higher up. I hadn't even remembered saying it until it was repeated. My worry is that it will effect that employee or our relationship with the client. If it were to fall back on me I would be ok with that, but I hope that it does not go any futher that where it does. This is my confession, I truly pray that my sin has not affected others.....Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me a sinner. I am truly sorry for my sin.
