Does anyone have a manager who treats them like property?

A guy came in our place of business to talk with the manager about a job he applied for. I was nearby cleaning something as the guy stood by waiting. The manager then walks over to talk to him and stood between me and the guy. Then as I am trying to finish up, he starts to use his body to shield me from his view of the guy. I know this because when he first came up, he was talking to the guy at a safe distance from me and I could see the guy in plain view. But the manager starts to lean his back closer and closer to me and widen his arms and elbows to the extent where it would be impossible for anyone to see me. He’s a tall big (not fat) manager. It looked very intimidating. I am not into him in case anyone thinks so. He has his breed of admirers and girlfriend(s). But he acts like a child when I need to deal with him. And keeps asking me not to yell at him or not to be mad at him, or just keep apologizing. And he goes from hot to cold. One minute he’s timid, the next, he seems mad and not talking. I know he may have pressures and also most of the female workers flirt with him and even one was texting wih him. So maybe he is just not a mature man. Any idea why he tried to hide me?
