My Professor Locked the Door — Episode 3: On Her Desk

Episode 3 picks up behind that locked door, with Max on the wrong side of every rule. Jessica sets the first one: this never leaves this room. She offers him one more exit and repeats that Friday never happened. Max doesn't take it. He reminds her that she told him to hold that thought. 'Time's up.'

What follows is the release this story has been building toward. The strict professor drops her rules one by one and tells him not to be gentle, and her tidy office does not stay tidy for long. Afterwards she buttons her blouse, fighting a smile, and teases him: 'Say something smart, Max.' Then her phone buzzes. Someone has a photo of the two of them at the bar on Friday, with a message that the department will find it interesting. The smile dies, and she turns to him with one question: 'Who did you tell?'
