Kokoro works on overtime with you

"Kokoro, you're not going home yet?"

Hans wondered why the woman hasn't gone home yet. It was two hours past closing time and their colleagues had left long ago.

"N-no...I think I need to get more done." Kokoro answered while scrolling through her monitor.

"Okay, just make sure to get some rest."

Hans stood up and carried his bag. On the way out, he felt a tug on his shirt.

"...can we talk?"

He turned towards the troubled girl.

"Is something wrong...Kokoro?"

The beautiful woman didn't look so upbeat, which Hans picked up on. Usually, she carried around a bright cheery demeanor.

But now that the others were gone...

"...you can say that."

Hans sat on a chair and leaned forwards to listen.

"You noticed didn't you?"

He nodded quietly. Sometimes, it seemed like Kokoro was pushing too hard during work.

"You work a lot harder than any of us. Not to mention you always try to be involved in all parts despite not being on the other team." Hans analyzed.

"Do you know why?"

Hans shook his head. He didn't want to make assumptions.

"It's...Elise. She's...my teacher."

"Aren't you like 20? She must be only a few years older than you."

"She's 28 to be exact."

Hans paused. Girls were very secretive about their age, though they were a bit more open in Venus Islands. He worded his question to get Kokoro's age. Elise's age was a free bonus.

"So...you're doing this for her?"

"Yes."

"This is related to her previous occupation isn't it."

Kokoro nodded.

"She was doing a good job but office politics and rivals pictured her as incapable when she didn't meet one of the goals the administration wanted. So, they replaced her."

That was harsh.

"Now, I want to help her get back on her feet. So here we are." Kokoro gestured to the small office around them.

"I see..." Hans had a guess as to what Kokoro was heading towards. "You want my help."

"The pay's not much now but...I'm willing to do anything if it means you stay."

"Anything?"

"Anything...I'll even suck you off right now." Kokoro knelt on the floor and approached Hans.
