Dr. Verlax, and the R&D department

Monica did her best to stay busy through the day, but it was increasingly difficult with her foggy and horny thoughts. She managed to shower, and change into usual work attire, although a part of her mind was nagging at her to dress provocatively again. She did her best to ignore the voice and the thoughts, but it was tough, and the closer 6 o'clock was the more her inhibitions were disappearing. It finally came around and she made her way to ADE.

The halls were empty, and the building was dim, with only a few lights on here and there, and the only sound was her heels clicking on the tile floor as she walked. As she got closer to the R&D lab, her mind was racing with lustful thoughts, and the desire for attention. Her clothes were starting to feel tight, her breathing heavier, and her skin feeling all the more sensitive.

"Pull yourself together Monica!" She told herself. She had to shake these feelings.

She approached the lab and looked in, and it was dark. The only light was a soft glow from the office Dr. Verlax had, and a soft humming noise was coming from the main lab area. She entered and walked to the door, and saw that it was cracked open, and she could hear two voices. One was Anna, and the other was a man's voice.

"Are you sure it's the only way sir? That doesn't seem reasonably scientific..." Anna asked.

"I can't believe you would doubt me after we have worked so long together, my dear Anna." The man's voice responded.

"Well, I know the kinda work we do, Dr..." Monica heard her friend start. "Just, don't make a cow out of my friend."

Monica couldn't hear the last part too well, but she heard the doctor's response as she walked into the dim room.

"On my honor as an ethical scientist, and since you are my best assistant Anna, I will respect your wishes in regard to the 'treatment' of this friend of yours." Doctor Verlax said as he was raising his right hand to his heart. He had messy black hair, and round rimmed glasses. He was a little handsome, she can see why Anna told her she crushed on him from their night at the bar.

Anna turned around and saw Monica standing there, and greeted her. "Hey! You're here! Dr. Verlax, this is Monica. Monica, this is Dr. Verlax. I've told you a bit about him."

The doctor turned around and took a moment to look over Monica's figure, and nodded. "You are quite pretty, it's a shame that I can't make a long-term test subject out of you."

Monica was a bit put off by the comment. "Um, okay."

Anna punched him. "Don't mind him, he's going to help you clear your head of the subliminal messaging from that memo that I told you NOT to read." She emphasized the last part.

"Yes, indeed." The doctor continued. "I'm not a fan of observing the success of 'social science' at succeeding, it depresses me. Primarily hypnosis and the like. It's all a joke compared to what I do. Real science..." He scratched his chin and continued giving Monica a scrutinizing look.

"Okay, and what is that, exactly?" Monica questioned. She didn't really understand how a guy who works in R&D, and not psychology, could help her with her subliminal problem.

"Some various work on transformative formulas in the industry, of course." The doctor winked at her.

"Okay..."

Anna interjected. "The reason that you're here is because he has a formula that might reverse the effects of the memo that you read. It's a bit of a prototype, he hasn't tested it on humans...just cows." She shuffled a bit.

"Wait, what?" Monica was concerned. What was she getting into?

"Yes, see this formula I've been testing on cows serves as a practical remedy to keep cows from going into heat. It could be useful in the industry to regulate populations on the farms. Cows are easier to milk when they aren't in sex frenzy as well." The doctor seemed awfully brief with his description.

"I'm not a cow, I don't need some formula to not go into heat, and I don't have to worry about being milked." Monica protested.

"Of course you are a cow. All women are cows, and all of them go into heat." The doctor said nonchalantly. "It's a biological imperative. Men are the bulls." He let out a laugh, but stopped when Anna shot him a dirty look.

"Are you serious right now? That's just offensive." Monica was taken aback. "What century do you live in?" She was astounded at this man's madness.

"This one, of course. Why does everyone keep asking me that?" He looked at Anna, then back at Monica, "Look, either you trust me and take try out this formula, and we can probably get rid of the memo's effect, or you leave and try to deal with it on your own."

Anna looked at Monica. "Look, Monica, he's right. This formula is a prototype, but it should work. I've seen him make some amazing stuff the past year, he's a genius. Just trust him, okay?"

Monica thought for a moment. Failing to listen to Anna the first time is the entire reason she read that e-mail and now has subliminal messages of being a corporate slut playing in her head. However, the doctor seemed liked he was hiding an important detail or some sort of side effect...

"Well?" Doctor Verlax raised an eyebrow.
