+1 for CYA. Get at least an e-mail from that head cheese. Office politics suck. In that situation I'd be tempted to let my boss find out about the project without directly spilling the beans. How good are you at hints?

the same sort of situation happened with me... a lot of my co-workers and my direct supervisor have been encouraging me to join our union, and i've been really hesistant cause i know most of the management higher up in the company do not like the union. i'm still really new (disposable) so i'm taking my sweet time trying to decide.
If you ever want to move into management don't join. If you just want fairly good pay, job security, and little advancement, join the union.

+1 more for CYA.

A good (but not always perfect) litmus test is:

Make sure that you have PROOF that the COO asked you to do the side project before you do it. CYA!
