"Ah, I'm so tired, it's been a busy day!" I stood up from my desk and straightened out the wrinkles in my clothes.

"Bye, Jack!" After bidding farewell to my good colleague, I walked out of the office building. A man in a black suit and sunglasses stood outside the door, stopping me. "Sir, I'd like to have a chat with you about something. Would you mind stepping aside for a moment?"

Since he was polite and seemed serious, I agreed. "Of course!"

I was then led to his car, where he pulled out a small bottle containing a clear liquid. "This is for you."

"What is this?" I asked, puzzled.

"This is our company's latest product. It can transform your partner into your favorite state," he explained.

"How do you know I'm married?"

"That's not important. Obtaining information about others is very easy nowadays," the man in the suit said. "What I want to say is, please consider being our trial user. You can choose to accept or refuse. If you accept, drink what's in this bottle. If you refuse, we'll leave immediately and apologize for bothering you."

"Does this thing have any side effects?" I asked, skeptical.

"In theory, absolutely none."

"Am I the first on your list?"

"Yes."

"That's not good."

"Sir, I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience..."

"That's not good. It looks like nobody else on your list will get a chance," I said as I unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip.

...

"Hey, darling!" I found Carolyn at the gym, just as she finished her workout as usual.

"Oh, you're here. You're quite late today, I've already finished sweating," Carolyn said, leaning against the door frame with a smile.

"It's nothing, just a little delay. How was your workout today?"

"It was okay, same as usual."

"Darling, your figure is already great enough. Let's go home."

...

The bedroom was filled with enjoyful sounds, and I couldn't help but think about the man in the suit and the bottle of potion from earlier. It seemed like it hadn't worked.

"A failed product..." I muttered.

"What?" Carolyn asked, catching her breath.

"Ah, it's nothing."

Or perhaps it had already worked?
