If I understand correctly at what point this happens, then try to finish chopping wood in front of the barn. If I made a mistake, please describe it in more detail. At what point does this happen, a screenshot of the quest book, etc.
I'm having the same issue, it happens right after the NSFW scene where Grey dresses up like a cat.
The quest log says "romantic line to be continued in the next updates!"
the quest "Valuable Worker" is listed as complete.
If you would like a complete set of screenshots or a copy of the save please let me know.
