Okamoto Karen ORESD-008

The number of experienced participants was 4. The first experience was at age 16. A working professional for one year, Karen started working at a mid-sized advertising agency three months after graduating from university. Feeling frustrated after making a big mistake at work, a senior colleague invited her to dinner to encourage her. Karen, a senior boss who was very concerned about her mistake and unfamiliarity with life in Tokyo, began to develop feelings for him, even though she knew he was married. Later, she heard from colleagues that her senior colleague and his wife were having marital problems. "If you want something, you have to work hard to get it." Karen's deeply affectionate nature led her to consider that maintaining a physical relationship could lead to her divorce and becoming her... This naive new employee, unable to consider the risks of infidelity, may have simply adopted the most direct approach.
