'Anything for Pay', Internal

It wasn't long before Gregory hit upon a fitting way to punish Jessica. All of Jessica's actions boiled down to the one thing she wanted more than anything else: money. She was constantly either spending it or trying to get more of it. Well, what if her greatest love was also her curse?

Going down into her self-image, Gregory wrote 'Anything for Pay' with his finger. Now, assuming things worked as intended, Jessica will be willing to do anything someone tells her, provided they give her money to do it. Just to make sure she would accept any offer, he also wrote 'Hates Refusing Money' and 'Honors Payment', then drew lines connecting them to 'Anything for Pay' and her existing 'Wants Money' label, causing them all to merge together into one large group and become prominent in her self image. Now Jessica would be so greedy for cash that even an offer of one dollar would be very, very hard for her to refuse, and just taking the money and not doing what she was paid to do wouldn't even occur to her.

Confident that his modifications would work, he decided that a test was in order. He walked up to Jessica and asked in his most cordial tone, "Excuse me, but would you be willing to give me your bra?"

Jessica looked up at the young, somewhat attractive man she had met earlier. She gave him a flirty smile and said, "Well, I'd get in serious trouble if I did it right now, but maybe later you and I can discuss the terms over dinner?"

Gregory looked like he was thinking about her offer, then pulled out his wallet and took a five dollar bill out, "How about this: I will pay you five dollars to give me your bra right now and not tell anyone I was the one who asked for it."

Jessica could hardly contain her excitement. Her first day and already the son of one of the partners was offering her money for her underwear! She could take this to HR and have him fired, or even try to squeeze some hush money out of his old man! She couldn't be any luckier!

...Then again...

Jessica's gaze fixated on the $5 bill in Gregory's hand. She really wanted that five dollars, and all she would have to do is take off her bra and not mention his involvement. Just the thought of refusing to take it, even for a bigger payday down the line, made her sick to her stomach.

"Goddammit..." she muttered to herself under her breath. It was a missed opportunity, but she just couldn't bring herself to turn down his offer. Reaching behind her back and under her top, she unclasped her bra, then reached down the front and maneuvered the cups off her breasts before pulling it out and handing it to Gregory with a false smile, "Here you go! Anything else you need?"

Gregory takes the bra and crumples it up in his hands, "No, I think I'm good for now. I wish you your best on your first day here."

He then turned around and walked off, leaving Jessica to start her work. She was a little worried about how readily she took off her bra for a guy she just met, but the five dollar bill in her hand was enough to ease her worries, at least somewhat. After all, it was just a bra. She had plenty more at home, and once she found something here for her to pounce on, she'll be stinking rich and have gotten an additional five dollars out of it.

Unknown to her, Gregory had gone to his office and was typing out a quick memo that read: 'The new receptionist Jessica Watson will do anything for a dollar! She'll even accept hush money!'

He made sure to log into a burner email account, then sent it to as many of Jessica's coworkers as he could. He figured that a lot of them wouldn't even read the memo and mark it as spam given the source, but if even a couple of them did and tried it out, he was pretty confident that the rumor would spread throughout the firm by word of mouth. Jessica had no idea what was coming for her.
