That's... strange. Let's find out more...

You go into research mode, and follow links and small blog articles who explain how Happy Maid became such a big and multi branched company. Strangely, a great number of the links you follow seem to lead into deleted pages. After a while, you begin to understand that there is no answer publicly available as to why this has happened. Apart from the official explanation of Happy Maid Corp., which is just PR blabber.

You frown, and try to find an answer in social media and private forums. You are dimly aware that time flies by while you are not doing your job, but you are way too intrigued about all this. Finally, you find a link in a private forum which suspiciously look like a place of a bunch of conspiracy theorists, linking you to another bulletin board, to a blog and then to a bulletin board that seems to be completely hidden to normal eyes and requires two different registrations and a secret password.

There, you find the threads bustling with accusations: "Happy Maid is playing the big scheme here!!", one discussion reads. You scan and read and click, and after a while, a picture forms: Everybody here complains that since they ordered their "Happy Maid" housemaid they have completely lost the drive to work and be productive. People complain how careers went south, how grades deterioriate, how they often forget what they actually did during the day. As if they were somehow **** and dazed. More so, almost everybody reports that their sex drive has gone up by an alarming rate. How erotic dreams creep into their daily lives, how they rediscovered sex as their greatest pasttime every, how they spend whole weekends with their partners in bed, or how they search online sex websites and masturbate for hours.

One discussion dedicates itself completely to the question of somehow the "type" of housemaid determines what sort of fantasies they have. It seems that there is a pattern, and sexual fantasies are somehow related to the character of the woman who is working in the household. Maids labelled as "German Maids" have made women sexually dominant and aggressive, while at the same time pushing their husbands into submission. People who ordered "Japanese Maids" suddenly feel a deepened interest in ropes, bondage and the art of shibari. Some describe how they turned lesbian and are infatuated with their maids. Others report how their fantasies suddenly circle around the thought of becoming part of a harem, sharing their men with multiple other women, and this somehow must be connected to the fact that there is an "Arabian Maid" working in their house.

Some women, who are not affected by this, report how their husbands basically left them and have started fucking the housemaid instead. Whenever confronted, the men just shrug. The women also complain that it feels somehow very, very difficult to confront their husbands at all. They feel so... apathic and indifferent when they come home.

Your eyes widen in shock. You think of your sexual dreams the other day, and how Dave had expressed these fantasies he never seemed to care about before.
