I don't know what to tell you, guy. That's the only way it worked for me and according to some of the other comments others are having the same difficulties reaching the trigger points on these two paths. So maybe my method will help them where others failed.This is definitely not true. I've barely even started the lawyer's secretary path at all. I met her once and saw her doing graffiti. I did not reach any lewd scenes with the secretary or get arrested, but I have reached the scenes with fucking Detective York in the motel room and the threesome with Victoria and Detective York
This isn't accurate either. The problem (confirmed by others) is that there is some randomization of her catching you at night. I was able to both save/reload and rollback/retry a few times without having to grind through many days of attempting only once per day.
