The scene opens on the second floor of the office, where the two women are waiting for each other. The two women discuss the fact that they are going out for a walk and that they will have to keep their relationship a secret. The women decide that it would be a good idea for them to cling to each other when they are coming in and out of each other's presence. They are interrupted by the sound of a "twitch" from the other side of the room, which reminds them of the kiss they had earlier in the day. The woman asks the man to stop, but he refuses, saying that he has been waiting for her all this time. She begs him not to make a face at work for her because she was in a bad mood earlier that day. She asks him to kiss her on the lips, but the man refuses to listen to her. She calls him by his first name, and he calls her by her first name
