Ctrl Alt Defeat: A Secretary's Takeover 15
🕑 Added 2024-10-24 16:41:48 +0000 UTCChapter 15: A Secretary's Struggle
For the past two weeks, Mr Wright had been navigating the labyrinth of his new life as Grant Horton's personal assistant. Seated at a meticulously organized desk just outside his superior's expansive office, he found himself immersed in a world that was both unfamiliar and unsettling. The once-powerful businessman was trapped in a role he despised, his days filled with tasks he had always deemed trivial.
Adjusting to the daily routine had been more challenging than he anticipated. Gone were the leisurely mornings and afternoon golf outings he once enjoyed as the head of Stitch & Sovereign. Instead, his days began before sunrise, wriggling into elaborate outfits and mastering the art of makeup application - a task that still eluded him despite Madame Maria's relentless tutoring. The sky-high stiletto heels he was made to wear added an extra layer of torment; the sharp click-clack they produced with every step grated on his nerves, announcing his presence in a way he despised. They forced him into an exaggerated sway, his hips rolling unnaturally, making him feel ridiculous. By day's end, his feet throbbed painfully, and the thought of repeating the ordeal the next morning filled him with dread.
The office environment demanded a level of attentiveness he wasn't used to providing, and the staff treated him exactly as he appeared: a ditzy-looking secretary whose opinions were seldom sought. In addition to fetching Grant's meticulously detailed coffee orders, managing the giant man's overflowing calendar, and running errands that sent him scurrying all over the city, his colleagues would hand him piles of paperwork without so much as a glance, expecting him to sort and file everything flawlessly.
Grant seemed to relish assigning tasks that forced uncomfortable closeness or required them to spend extended periods alone in his office. A simple task like delivering files had become a minefield, as Mr Wright tried to avoid accidental brushes of hands or other unintended contact while passing over documents. Grant would often seize these moments to comment on how "essential" Mia was to the smooth running of his day.
Despite an overwhelming sense of humiliation, Mr Wright pushed through, steering conversations toward the Stitch & Sovereign project whenever possible - the only reason he was enduring this ludicrous charade. However, each time he broached the subject, Grant would offer a dismissive wave or a vague assurance that they would "get to it soon." The delay was frustrating, and the former businessman couldn't shake the feeling that he was being kept in this role longer than necessary.
The irony of his situation was not lost on him. A man who once wielded power without a second thought for those beneath him was now at the bottom of the hierarchy, experiencing firsthand the dismissiveness he had so often dished out. Every day was a lesson in humility, one he desperately wished would end.
Sitting at his desk, tapping his long pink nails impatiently on the glass surface during a rare moment of peace, Mr Wright was nearing the end of his tether. The sudden ring of the phone shattered the silence, and he snatched it up, already dreading the voice he knew he'd hear.
"Mia, I need you. Can you step into my office for a moment?" Grant Horton's voice was smooth, carrying that authoritative tone that always made his skin prickle.
"Yes, sir," he replied, the simpering, girlish tone he was forced to adopt making him cringe.
With a heavy sigh, he set the phone back on its receiver, his manicured fingers lingering for a moment. As he glanced down, a groan escaped him at the sight of what he'd become - a lowly secretary dressed to captivate in a snug, alluring outfit that left little to the imagination. The fitted black blouse with flared cap sleeves showcased an impressive cleavage, while below, a leather miniskirt clung tightly to his enhanced backside, exuding a seductive sultriness that contrasted sharply with his true self.
His hairless legs, encased in silky black pantyhose, extended from the tiny skirt, gliding unnaturally against each other with every slight shift in his office chair, sending shivers up his spine. The prosthetics sculpting his exaggerated feminine figure were hot and cumbersome while sitting, but even worse when standing. Each slow, deliberate movement brought a wobble and jiggle, and one misstep in the ridiculously tall heels - lifting him far beyond his comfort zone - could send him toppling to the ground.
Today, a high ponytail added to his discomfort, pulling relentlessly at his scalp and making his face, already stiff from Botox and plastered with makeup, feel like a mask.
Glancing at his computer monitor and catching sight of his plumped lips jutting out in a perpetual pout, the sudden thought of whether his bloated slugs needed another coat of gloss crossed his mind. But seeing them still red and glistening from the sticky layer he had applied not long ago, he dismissed the idea, feeling foolish. He hated when thoughts like that crept in - the old Morgan Wright would never have entertained such frivolous concerns.
The alien face on the monitor blinked, its stiff, rounded features briefly disappearing behind a veil of thick, extended lashes. When the monstrous visage reappeared, a sudden surge of determination washed over the feminised man.
Hauling himself to his aching feet, Morgan Wright decided to approach the subject of the merger one more time - and this time, he wasn't going to be fobbed off. Puffing out his chest, causing his silicone enhancements to oscillate, he strutted from his desk to Grant Horton’s door and knocked loudly.
Grant’s voice boomed from behind the closed door. “Enter.”
Mr Wright quickly pushed it open and minced inside, ready to confront the man, but abruptly stopped. His manicured hands instinctively rested on his hips as he hesitated, taking in the scene. Grant was lounging behind his desk, feet casually propped up, and a smug grin on his face. The large man’s relaxed presence suddenly made Mr Wright feel small and out of place in his current attire, the confidence he’d mustered wavering.
"You wanted to see me, sir?" Mr Wright asked, hoping to keep the encounter short and to the point.

"Come in, Mia," Grant said, waving him forward. "Don’t just stand there, girl. Take a seat."
With a forced smile, Mr Wright tottered into the room, the click of his stilettos echoing loudly. He could feel his tight skirt tugging against the curve of his hips and thighs, making his movements even more painstakingly feminine. Reaching a chair in front of Grant's desk, he carefully perched himself down, smoothing his skirt over his legs before crossing them gracefully, the silky pantyhose swishing audibly with the movement.
"I like your outfit today, Mia," Grant said in a flirtatious tone, eyeing the crossdressed man with obvious appreciation. "It's very flattering on you."
Mr Wright rolled his eyes, his patience already wearing thin. "You wanted to see me, Sir," he replied, trying to keep his voice soft and feminine despite the irritation bubbling inside.
"Oh, so tetchy today," Grant teased, his smile widening as he let the comment hang in the air. When it became clear that his assistant wasn’t in the mood for playful banter, Grant gave up with a sigh. "I need an energy boost. Would you mind heading out to grab me a coffee? Double shot of espresso, a splash of oat milk, and two pumps of vanilla syrup."
There was a moment of silence. Mr Wright’s fingers clenched slightly around the arms of the chair before he responded, his voice uncharacteristically firm. "No."
Grant’s eyebrows shot up, clearly caught off guard. It was the first time his new secretary had ever refused him anything.
"I'm here to help facilitate a merger, not to be your errand... girl," Mr Wright continued, his tone more defiant now. He crossed his arms and pouted, emphasizing his frustration. "I'm tired of your excuses. I'm starting to think there's something else going on here."
For a moment, Grant simply stared before a slow, knowing smile spread across his face. "There she is," he said with a chuckle, leaning back in his chair. "That's the spirited young woman I've been waiting to come out. I was going to brief you later today. I’ve just put the final pieces in place for your new role."
"Really?" Mr Wright responded, the doubt evident in his voice.
Grant's grin only grew wider. "Remember that errand I sent you out on yesterday?"
Mr Wright nodded, the memory of struggling with a heavy box while teetering on his stilettos still fresh in his mind. His legs had felt like jelly by the time he made it back to the office, and the humiliation of being ogled as he wobbled down the street had burned through him.

Grant's eyes locked onto Mr Wright. “Inside that box,” he said, pausing for effect, “is a prototype. Put together by my design team.” His tone was slow and condescending, as though he were explaining something complicated to an imbecile.
Mr Wright's brow furrowed in confusion. “A prototype? For what?”
Grant’s smile widened, his eyes twinkling with that same infuriating smugness. He was clearly enjoying this. “It’s for the new direction Stitch & Sovereign is going to take. I’ve set up a meeting for early next week with some key investors. We’re going to present the brand’s evolution.”
A cold dread gripped Mr Wright’s chest, a weight pressing down as he thought about the centuries-old legacy of his family business. Carefully crafted over generations, it was a hallmark of tradition and excellence. The thought of someone like Grant, with his flashy ideas and modern twists, making changes to that legacy sent alarm bells ringing. “What new direction?” he asked cautiously, trying to keep the panic from creeping into his voice.
Grant paused, interlocked his fingers, and clicked them loudly before placing his still-linked hands on his desk. “I want you, Mia, to wear the outfit in that box to the meeting. You’re going to walk in there, looking every bit the stunning young woman you are, and you’re going to sell them the future of Stitch & Sovereign.”
Mr Wright blinked, utterly lost. “What idea? What am I supposed to say?”
Grant smirked, clearly enjoying the confusion and helplessness radiating from Mr Wright. “Oh, don’t worry your pretty little head,” he said, his tone dripping with mock reassurance. “I’ll explain everything to you soon enough. You’ll know exactly what to do when the time comes. But first…” He paused, leaning forward slightly. “I want that coffee. Now.”
