Prelude : Mr six pack

It’s lunchtime so I’m heading out of the office to get some rays. I catch the lift just in time to get in with some of my female colleagues. Now I don’t know if it’s my cologne but one of them is definitely giving me that look. It seems as though once again my cover as a regular guy is blown.
