The chapter opens with a conversation between a young man and his boss. The young man asks his boss whether it's okay for them to be having sex in his office. He's worried that someone will hear them talking, and he wonders if they've been having sex all along. He wonders if he's been giving up on figuring out how to get along with his boss, because he feels like there's a hole in his heart that's being filled by his love for his boss . He doesn't want to overstep his bounds, he says, but he can't help feeling a little guilty about it. He asks the young man if he can just chill out and think about it for a bit. He says that he'll cool his head and that he hasn't seen him in a while. He also mentions that he and his friend makihara were talking about how much he loves his boss and how he'd like to get more intimate with her. He adds that he can think of nothing else but how he wants to get to know her more. He wants to know what's going on between him and her, and asks if she's hiding anything from him. He tries to ask him what he means by "she's easy to read," and he says that she'll be able to read anything he says. He then asks him if he wants her to stop stringing him around,
