Which one?

Work Wife, and finishing off the work day.

All three of these are great options. Foodie would be great to have, but it's not necessary right now, so you decide to go back to it later. It's a tough choice, and begs the question on whether it's better to focus on just Olive at work, or focus on everyone else but Olive.

After much deliberation, you decide that having Olive in your side would be very nice to have, and you can't deny that feeling appreciated at work is hard to pass up. You click on the Work Wife option, and the other two traits grey out and vanish. You watch your point total go down from 200 to 150.

"Isn't it weird that they didn't put the point cost on the page?" You ask. "I guess they were afraid of people trying to game the system. But I'm still not sure what the system is..."

After you click it, you feel nothing different. You're not sure if anything even changed until you feel Olive wrap her arms around your shoulder. "Hey, handsome. How's it going?"

You don't respond at first. While this trait was picked for how Olive's loyalty would help you in the future, you aren't denying that the ego boost is a major reason for doing this. You just smile to yourself before answering. "Not much. Scarlett wants to talk to me about something after work, but I have no frame of reference for what that could mean. Wish me luck?"

To your delight, Olive takes that to mean kissing you on the cheek. "You've got this, king. Just handle this by being calm and collected, like you always are!"

You're on cloud nine, and you breeze through the rest of the day. This trait is great, and if it wasn't so close to the end of the day, you'd get a better chance to check it out.

You check the app.

[Stone, Olive - Affection Score: 58, Lo, 1 (+1), Lu, 0]

AMA Points: 151

While you're checking out Olive, you spot a text from Fia pop up. Are you heading over now?

Her reminder kicks you into gear. You vow to take advantage of your new work life another day, your friend needs help.

What's next?
