While pretending to sleep, Miss Jessel goes on a mountain hike with her friend, who is also a member of the women's club at the company. Jessel complains to his boss that he has been forced to go on the hike as part of their company's activities. He asks his boss why she would force him to do such a thing, and she tells him that she forced him to go because she thought he would be attracted to her. She then tells him about her affair with another man, and Jessel wonders if she is having an affair with him as well. He tells her that he is sure that she is, and they decide to wait for the weather to clear so they can go for a walk together.
