Si Scarlet ay isang office assistant sa isang kompaniya. Siya ay isang dakilang utusan sa kanilang departmento. Utos doon, utos dito. Kahit busy siya sa kaniyang sariling trabaho ay hindi ito makatanggi sa kaniyang kasamahan. Kahit hindi siya pinapasalamatan ng mga ito, ay ginagawa pa rin niya ang utos nila, dahil kahit papaano ay nakakatulong siya sa kanila. Nang mag-aya ang kaibigan ni Scarlet na magdiwang ng kaarawan nito sa isang eksklusibo at respetadong male strip club ay wala naman itong nagawa kung hindi ay pumayag. Doon niya nakilala ang isang lalaking stripper na nakamaskara, sinayawan siya nito ng mapangakit at mapanghalina. Hindi niya malaman ang kaniyang nararamdaman pero gusto niya itong makilala at malaman ang pangalan man lang. Hindi niya mawari kung anong sumapi sa kaniya dahil nakita niya na lang ang kaniyang sarili na nakaabang sa backstage at lihim na sinusubaybayan ang lalaki. Nagbibihis ito at nang hinubad ang kaniyang maskara ay nagulat siya sa kaniyang nakita. Hindi siya makapaniwala sa kaniyang nalaman--- “Bakit siya? Bakit ang Boss niya pa?”
