Alex is the first to arrive at the team meeting. He sits down at the middle of the conference table. Eric comes in next and sits across from him.
"Something's a little bit different about you dude... you been workin' out or something?" asks Eric.
"Something like that, " Alex replies with a grin.
Trish comes in and sits down next to Alex. "Looking good, Alex. Must be a new suit!"
"Thanks, " he says. "You're looking pretty good yourself. New haircut?"
"Yeah! Thanks for noticing, " Trish says, blushing a little. Alex notices that she's turned towards him more than normal.
Five minutes after the meeting is supposed to start, Staci comes strolling in. "Hey Alex, Eric. Good to see you. What did I miss?" completely ignoring Trish. She sits on the other side of Alex. Eric is a little confused, as Staci normally sits next to him. She rests her head on Alex's shoulder, "Oh... I've had such a long day... " and proceeds to talk for five minutes about her drive in, the coffee machine, and anything else she can think of.
"Ok, " interrupts Trish, "Lets get started. So we know that it's the fourth quarter and..."
"Yeah, we gotta close up our contract deals. I'm going to go make a few more calls and call it a day." She stands up and sashays out, running her hand across Alex's back.

"Ooohh... I'd fire her if she wasn't sleeping with my boss, " Trish blurts out, immediately covering her mouth with her hands. "Oops! I wasn't supposed to say that. You didn't hear that, you got it?"
Alex nods. He knew it already, but he didn't expect to hear his boss talking about it. "Say, Trish, why don't we grab a drink after work and relax a bit?" He's asked a few times, but she's always turned him down, saying it wouldn't be appropriate.
"You know, I think that sounds nice. I could use to not think about work. 530, across the street?"
"How about this new seafood and sports bar across town? I know it's a bit far, but this way we're less likely to run into anyone from work."
"Hmm, that's a good idea. I'll see you there." Trish stands up and walks out. Alex watches her ass sway back and forth.
"She's got a good body, not as tight as Staci's... I wonder..." he thinks as he heads back to his desk.
Alex starts up Master PC and looks through some settings. One that catches his interest is:
