You are talking about two different books. One is a book focused on the love triangle between a man and two different women --the primary conflict of the book is which one he will choose. The other book is about a man and the many possible loves in his life.
The main difference is that the love triangle version is more evenly focused around your three main characters. They not only relate to the man, they also have a relationship with each other as rivals (and, in this case, coworkers). The other version is more squarely focused on the man. The other characters are only presented only in relationship to him. One is not right and the other is wrong, it more depends on what book YOU want to write.
If you want the focus to stay on the three central characters, and their interrelationships, then I wouldn't add the others in --unless you want a twist ending where the man doesn't pick either of his two main choices.
