yes, I should visit Maria

[Time Remaining: {@0 TR} Hours]

{if JenBack == 1}As I move up the stairs, I try to justify how I reacted to Jennifer's apparent advances. She had a boyfriend, and I didn't want to let our class project get between them.

I simply thought of her as an annoying sister-- a not-so-close friend. I feel I have some link to her but I do not know how or why. It's just that I'm not inhibited at all when she is around.{elseif JenBack==2}I jog up a couple of stairs until I reach the third floor. Rooms 304, 305, and 308 appear to be occupied, given that their lights are streaming out of the small gap below their doors.

Disappointingly, Room 301 is unlighted. I realize that I should have gone here earlier.{elseif@ JenBack==0}{if GM==1}I unhurriedly proceed up the stairs and realize the necessity of having an elevator. Upon reaching the second floor, I meet a lady in a navy blue blazer, a white button top, and red skinny jeans that emphasize her slender frame. "Hi. You must be John. I'm Maria," she says, as she flashes a smile and extends her hand.

I take her hand and nod at her with acknowledgement. "Dr. Zhang said that I have to see you regarding..."{elseif@ GM==0}Please enable GAME MODE!{endif}{endif}

{if JenBack == 1}But was this really what I thought of her. Why do I get a hard-on every time I imagine her lips around my cock?

I look around and realize that I have gone beyond the third floor. Room 401 is now in front of me. I guess I should head back down.{elseif JenBack==2}Maybe I should head back to my room, and call it a day. I'm sure I could talk to Maria tomorrow.

Or probably I could go up to the topmost floor and see the view from there. A little peaceful scenery could prepare my mind for the challenging month ahead.{elseif@ JenBack==0}{if GM==1}"Yes, we could talk about that later, but I have to hurry for my Simulation class tonight." She replies with determination.

"Ah, okay," I reply, somewhat unsure of myself as I witness her show of confidence.{elseif@ GM==0}Please enable GAME MODE!{endif}{endif}

{if JenBack == 1}However, before I can retrace my steps, I hear a slight noise-- a human noise. I glance around to locate exactly where the noise is coming from.

Up ahead, I spy what appears to be a dead cocker spaniel along the hallway-- and trash around it. I move closer cautiously to investigate. I realize that what appears to be trash are in fact scattered sheets of paper with lots of handwriting the looked like mathematical equations or musical gibberish. The cocker spaniel was in fact the brown hair of a woman who had fallen on the floor but she was not moving.{elseif JenBack==2}How about if I visited one of those lighted rooms? But that would be rude, since they would not be expecting anyone. Maybe Dr. Zhang just simply forgot to inform Maria that I was taking over.

Or I could just wait it out for a few minutes? But I'm feeling somewhat drowsy.{elseif@ JenBack==0}{if GM==1}"Maybe I could visit you in your room tonight, after class, if that's okay with you?" she asks, her smile only indicating warmth and sincerity.

"Sure," I reply, my face showing my surprise at her proposal. She waves her hand at me as she hurriedly continues down the steps to the ground floor. "What do I do now?" I ask myself.{elseif@ GM==0}Please enable GAME MODE!{endif}{endif}

{if JenBack == 1}Should I check for her pulse or call 911? What if she was already dead and my fingerprints would contaminate the crime scene?

I am now the manager and how will I explain my presence here?

The discovery of a dead body would surely affect the marketing of the empty units. Should I hide the body?{elseif JenBack==2}I glance at the opposite building and notice that it actually looks similar to the building I am currently in. I try to recall Dr. Zhang mentioning about having two buildings, but he also never mentioned having only one building. Or am I already forgetting things?{elseif@ JenBack==0}{if GM==1}Maybe I could go back to my room and call it a day, or continue to the top floor and see the view from there.{elseif@ GM==0}Please enable GAME MODE!{endif}{endif}
