Hide and check the app.

Alone in the men's locker room, you let out a huge sigh of relief. Holy shit... that was close! Your heart is pounding and the adrenaline has you feeling like you could do another workout. Actually, maybe not. You're already feeling the soreness building.

Carrying your stuff, you walk to one of the wooden benches in the middle of the room. After drying off, you put on your damp clothes. It seems like your underwear got the worst of it. Oh well. Totally worth it!

Holy fuck... Hana looks better than you imagined and you didn't even get a proper look at her. Just a couple of days ago, you never in a million years would have guessed that you'd see your desk mate naked. Now her thick but athletic body and flawless skin is seared into your mind. Also, you got a peek of what's between her legs. God, you can't wait to get an unobstructed look at those massive tits of hers! It's awesome to know that with the help of the Affection Multiplier, it's not a question of if, but when. You pull out your phone to check her scores. You grin mischievously when you see that her profile picture has been updated to her standing naked in the shower, shielding her privates from view.

Hana Sato

Affection: 89 (+11)

Love: 11 (+6)

Lust: 9 (+8)

You kind of expected the scores to be a bit higher but you're probably just being impatient. This app is working miracles! At the rate you've been going, you should be able to max her affection score tomorrow. For the first time, Hana as a long term romantic partner crosses your mind. The two of you really do get along quite well. In many ways it reminds you of your relationship with Natalie back in the day. The last score is the most interesting and the one that you can't stop staring at. The thought of you as a sexual partner is definitely in her mind by now. She must also know how you feel about her. It's not exactly easy to hide when you're a guy and sliding naked across the floor.

You grab your bag and head for the door. First, you want to see if the coast is clear. You'd rather not run into Jan. She's suspicious of you right now and you'd rather have some more time to chip away at her negative score. Poking your head out, there's nobody in sight but you do hear murmurs coming from behind the door of the women's locker room. You feel the urge to listen in. With the power of the AMA in your pocket, boldness is becoming one of your new character traits. You press your ear against the door but still can't quite make out the words. You push it open a fraction of an inch.

Hana's voice - “Don’t worry Jan, if I am ever even slightly alarmed by anything Frank does, or anyone else for that matter, I’ll bring it to your attention.”

Jan is asking Hana about what's been going on. Understandable since it must be strange to see you and your desk mate so friendly all of the sudden. Hana must have kept what happened to herself. It's not like you'd ever expect her to immediately rat you out.

Jan's voice - “Well good. I don’t want to keep harping on it, but I’ve seen some men in similar situations behave poorly being in an office with such a pretty young woman all day every day.”

That's an interesting comment. It sounds like your boss feels protective but the tone of those last words catches your attention. Maybe there's an angle you can work there...

Hana's voice - “I have to tell you Jan, a few of the other women have talked about it before and we do appreciate how seriously you take that sort of thing. It means a lot to us that we know you won’t ignore a harassment-type situation if we bring it up to you.”

There's a pause and you don't want to risk being caught. You retreat back into the men's room for a moment. You stand by the door and listen. You hear someone leave but you can't be sure who. You check your phone for the time. At this rate, you risk being late for dinner. Your wife and daughter are waiting for you. What should you do? Try to leave the building unseen or see if the person still left in the other locker room is Hana? You could shoot her a text and see. But... Ava is waiting...

Note: Eventually, the reader will have two options here. For now, we'll focus entirely on one. The second will be revisited in the distant future. Which would you choose? Hang around and try to interact with Hana some more or head home to Natalie and Ava? Let me know in the comments.
