"Thank you, thank you" cooed Dr Fukuda Hinamizawa as she strode through the class and delicately planted herself down on a chair opposite Jafit, a slight roll of pudge resting on her thighs as she did.
"How may I be able to help you?" asked the bloated cookery teacher, idly running her finger tips over her swollen stomach beneath a tighter shirt than the one she put on that morning.
"Straight to the point, I like it" nodded Hinamizawa with a slight smile spreading across her lips as she spoke.
Jafit's prolific career as a chef meant she was frequently complimented and, as such, had become accustomed to such positivity to herself or her creations. She would also be lying if she were to tell anyone that she did not enjoy the adoration associated with compliments, a sense of enjoyment that was currently warming her heart knowing that the good doctor was impressed with her attitude already.
"Let me just start by saying you are a wonderful asset to this school and have yielded fantastic results within the student body" continued Hinamizawa "barely a day goes by when I don't hear somebody speaking highly of you and the work you've done since joining the staff at Buttercombe"
"Oh why thank you" Jafit blushed visibly through her sun kissed complexion "I just wish to help by sharing my skills"
"Well you certainly have so far, it's hard to believe you have only been with us for five years" Hinamizawa continued to gush, well aware she was feeding Jafit's ego by the spadeful at this point "I was hoping that you would be able to help with a new venture concocted by some of my colleagues within Yeng that they wish to trial within the school"
Curiosity piqued, Jafit looked intently at the woman before her. Jafit was well aware of Buttercombe's association with the megacorporation Yeng Industries but had rarely needed to mingle with it so directly, certainly not being asked to be directly involved before now.
The Spaniard readjusted herself in her chair causing her bosom to jiggle within its confines (Jafit could not wait to get her bra off at the end of the day) as she pondered this vague proposition.
"What exactly would you want me to do?" asked Jafit resting her chin in her hand, gaze wandering slightly to the remains of her chocolate cake longingly. Her look did not go unnoticed.
"Well what we're looking for Miss Gamor is...please eat, don't let my presence stop you...well the product we have in question is what my colleagues have opted to call a supplement" elaborated Hinamizawa.
Still intrigued, Jafit slid the cake she was eying closer so she could nibble away at it as she thought, it was so sweet of Dr Hinamizawa to not think ill of her for eating during their meeting.
"A supplement?" asked Jafit between a mouthful of cake whilst using a finger to coax a rogue crumb back between her lips.
"Something like that, yes" continued the doctor "at Yeng we have a whole division committed to wellbeing and health and their latest discovery is a universal supplement that, upon consumption, allocates itself to fill any gaps the body may have on a vitamin or mineral level due to poor diet". Hinamizawa looked at her colleague all knowingly but picked up on Jafit's confusion as her chewing slowed leaving a look of bemusement in its wake.
"Sorry, that's the explanation I was given and it's not all that simple" the doctor laughed innocently.
Jafit laughed as well, although she wasn't entirely sure why. At this particular moment she felt comfortable talking to the doctor and was looking forward to knowing how she might be able to help with her project.
"Let me start again" declared Hinamizawa, clearing her throat "basically what we have is a substance that can keep people healthy, regardless of their diet, and we would like you to help us by implementing it into recipes and seeing how it reacts when used in food"
"So you want me to add this to my food when I cook, yes?" asked Jafit, still seeking clarification as she was still confused as to what was being asked of her.
"Exactly that my dear, all we ask is that you are open to have me drop by every so often and check in on how you're getting on" smiled Hinamizawa.
"Well I think that would be possible to do" nodded Jafit, sliding her cake out of the way again "when would you like me to start?"
"You can start immediately if you wish" replied the doctor, leaning under the desk they were sat at and producing a case that Jafit had not realised she had before "there are a load of samples for you here, please feel free to use them all if you can"
"Oh, well thank you very much. I do look forward to trying this 'supplement' out with my food" replied Jafit, taking the box and sitting it to one side to take with her later after classes.
"I'm glad to hear you so enthusiastic about this project, I hope we can get some wonderful results by working together" beamed Hinamizawa, extending a hand to the Spaniard "I'll be in touch so we can organise a meeting to gather your initial thoughts and feelings on the matter." Hinamizawa grasped the younger woman's hand and shook it briskly before turning on her heels and marching back out of the classroom without another word.
Slightly stunned by the interaction, Jafit stood looking at where Hinamizawa had once been and then glanced down at the box of sachets under her desk.
Although she wasn't entirely sure what she had agreed to, Jafit could not help but feel excited at being part of such an obviously important project.
*****************
"Yes, this is Hinamizawa" the good doctor answered her phone as she walked down a corridor, weaving between students milling past her.
"Yes, I've just been to see Miss Gamor and have left the package with her. She seems compliant enough and willing to help us". A wry smile cracked across the doctors lips as she spoke.
Whoever was on the line seemed pleased as well but then said something that nearly stopped Hinamizawa in her tracks. Rather awkwardly, she quickened her pace towards an empty classroom, slid herself round the door and closed it firmly behind her.
"No she does not know what it REALLY is" hissed the black haired doctor "who do you think I am? Of course I didn't tell her she's testing a highly experimental weight and metabolism enhancement drug!" Hinamizawa was quite angry at this point, spots of spittle had sprayed her phone and a vein was angrily pulsing in her left temple.
"As far as Gamor is concerned she's helping us test a vitamin and mineral supplement for general health" anger subsiding slight, Hinamizawa rubbed her eyebrows to vent her aggression as she listened to her contacts response.
"Yes I will be keeping tabs on the situation and keep records of Gamor's progress with the substance" anger eased, the doctor began to pace to stretch her legs as she spoke
"Thank you for your ongoing trust in my abilities" snapped the doctor sarcastically "yes, goodbye, bye"
Angrily stabbing at the end call button with her finger, Hinamizawa put her phone away and exited the room she had hidden herself into, striding away at a great pace.
