Jack Johnson had always been a straightforward guy. He lived a simple life, or so he thought, until his girlfriend of three years dumped him unceremoniously. Heartbroken and desperate for a fresh start, he received an email that seemed to be the answer to his prayers. It was an offer from a prestigious company, TransForm Biomedical, for a position in their Research and Development department. The offer seemed almost too good to be true, but Jack, eager to escape his dismal current reality, took the plunge and moved to a new country, far away from his friends and family.
Jack's arrival at TransForm Biomedical was met with warm welcomes and grand promises that gave him an immense hope for the future. The company was housed in a gleaming skyscraper, a testament to its success and prestige. The HR department, led by a beautiful bubbly woman named Mindy Stacks, she had an upbeat energy that was undeniably contagious. Mindy wore her blonde hair in loose waves down to her shoulders, she had elegant porcelain skin complimented by natural rosy cheeks and big brown eyes which seemed to twinkle in the light. To top it all she had what could only be described as 'a winning smile' that would dazzle as she flashed her pearly whites and make anyone she conversed with feel at ease. Today she wore a cream pantsuit with a white blouse that she complimented with a brown belt and matching ankle boots. As she spoke she did so in a welcoming, slightly flirtatious tone:
"Welcome aboard, Jack! I must say, we've been eagerly waiting for someone as charming as you to join us. I'm the head of human resources, Mindy" Jack had extended his hand for a shake, which she met with an eager smile.
"Uh-Thanks, Thank you Mindy, Miss Stacks? It's great to be here."
"Honestly, just call me Mindy! and the pleasure is all mine. Nervous?" she queried, placing her other hand atop the handshake in a disarming manner.
"Eh, yeah a little I guess." Jack replied hesitantly.
"Oh, don't be! You seem like the TransForm type, I think you'll fit right in." she reassured him before guiding him to her office.
Here she introduced Jack to the company's "progressive" policies aimed at promoting diversity and inclusion. He was slightly puzzled by some of the terms but was reassured by the seemingly benevolent intentions behind them.
As the first couple of weeks passed, Jack quickly settled into his new role, and despite the occasional odd policy or mandatory seminar, he felt like he had made the right decision – this was exactly what he needed to kickstart the next chapter of his life and he couldn't escape the feeling that things were going to be a lot better from here on out.
He soon began making small talk with the other employees which naturally evolved into friendly conversations amongst colleagues. One of the women in the office, Britney, was particularly friendly. Britney was a vision of beauty with long, flowing blonde hair that framed her face perfectly - she clearly spent a lot of time each morning ensuring that it was immaculately straight, and boy did it pay off for her. Her sparkling blue eyes and radiant smile could light up any room. Physically she was in great shape, she clearly cared about her fitness and her natural curves ensured heads would turn wherever she went. Her personality was vibrant and outgoing, with a warm smile that made Jack feel at ease.
The pair hit it off almost immediately, soon sharing lunch breaks and after-work drinks. Jack began to feel something, perhaps a glimmer of hope that his life was taking a turn for the better. Unbeknownst to Jack, Britney was not what she seemed. Under the company's malicious instructions, she was honey trapping him as part of a larger, more sinister plan. Eager to move up the corporate ladder she was more than happy to oblige.
As a result of weeks of hard work and getting Jack comfortable enough to let his guard down entirely she sprung her trap. One evening, after several drinks, Jack found himself in a compromising situation.
