Only Man In office - Part 2

OTHER PARTS | ALL STORY LIST

Before he could leave Mrs. Sharp called him into her office again.

"Hello dear. I was really impressed with your first day as my assistant," Mrs. Sharp said to Michael with a smile. 

"I knew that it was the right decision to keep you here at our company and give you the chance to work for me even if that means that you have to handle some changes in your behavior and dress and I know that you will have to deal with that with your wife and family."

Michael was glad to hear that Mrs. Sharp was pleased with his performance today.

"I recently got a call from Mrs. Sinclair who said that she was really impressed with you too. She was so happy to get to know you and insisted that I make you part of the deal with her company. I guess she likes you, my dear and she really wants you to become one of the trainers."

Michael went pale "What does that mean for me, Mrs. Sharp?"

"Nothing bad, don't be afraid. I guess that we would have to find time for you so you can work for her as a trainer during that project. 

She was really serious on the telephone that you have to take on this task. Is it possible that she was able to see that you are dressed in a ladies' suit and hose and that your shoes were really women's shoes?" Mrs. Sharp asked.

"Well, I don't know..." Michael stuttered, afraid to confess what Mrs. Sinclair said to him earlier when she left. "...why do you ask lke that?"

"Well, she said to me that she really liked how you were dressed at our meeting and that she loves your style. But she insisted that you would have to dress a bit differently when you do the training at her company. I was only curious what she meant about that."

"Er, Mrs. Sharp, I... " Michael admitted "...to be fair Mrs. Sinclair talked with me a bit before she left. 

And she made some comments about my suit and my blouse. And I remember something said about a nice choice in my shoes and stockings from Mrs. Mc Lair I guess.."

"Well, that explains everything," Mrs. Sharp replied. "I guess that we have to expect that Mrs. Sinclair has some idea of how you would have to be dressed as her trainer. So we will have to talk with your wife about some possible further changes in your wardrobe when that project starts. 

Please talk to her this evening and tell her everything that you told me. Ask her if I have permission to change your wardrobe step by step during the next several days. And please ask her if she could visit me as soon as possible here so that we can talk and plan how to get you to work for Mrs. Sinclair."

"Oh, yes, Mrs. Sharp, I will do that," Michael replied. After that, Mrs. Sharp dismissed him and let him finish his work. Traveling home in his man's coat now over his ladies' suit and shoes was still new to him. 

He was unsure if any of the other commuters found anything unusual about him. But he got no strange glances as far as he saw. 

At home he pulled the coat off and saw a message from his daughter hanging on the wardrobe. She wasn't home and wrote that she went to her friend for an overnight stay. So he stayed in his suit, blouse, and shoes. Dressed like that he prepared dinner and waited for his wife to return from work.

When Mrs. Garrett came home he greeted her with a glass of red wine and a perfectly set table. "Hello dear,r" his wife said. 

"You are still dressed for work? Why is that?"

"Er... Lucie is out overnight so I decided to show you how I was dressed at my first day as Mrs. Sharps's assistant. What do you think?" Michael said with a bit of shame in his voice.

"I really like that suit, dear. It's nicely form-fitting and it suits your slender figure. You know that I always love to see you well dressed and even if I would have preferred you in a man's suit these clothes look very elegant and professional. I love that blouse too, not too feminine but also very stylish. 

And the shoes are nearly the same that you wore before when you wanted to wear feminine shoes to work, are they?"

"Yes, these are women's business shoes and I have worn nearly the same with a lower heel in the past. But I have to talk with you about something that happened today at my first meeting with some customers," Michael replied.

"Customers? Oh, tell me dear, what happened?" Mrs. Garrett asked interested.

"Today we had a meeting with some ladies from another company. They need help introducing a new computer system that we are experienced with it. We are able to help them with some training over there. 

Mrs. Sharp introduced me to them as her assistant and as a former trainer, and she said that I had done well in the past. They were really impressed and now they want me as one of their trainers too," 

"Oh, that's good to hear, what's wrong with that?" Mrs. Garrett interrupted him.

"Well, like our company after the last changes, the customer's company has only women working there. And that's why they normally take only female trainers to teach their staff. 

So Mrs. Sharp thinks that when I have to teach them in the future, I will probably have to be dressed more like a woman than right now. Mrs. Sharp said that to me and she wants to talk with you about that. 

So I have to ask you if you could visit with her at the office during the next few days."

"Oh, that's surprising news," Mrs. Garrett said. "I never thought that it would evolve that fast... Do you think you could handle that?" she asked. "Are you ready to dress more feminine when you go to work?"

"Well, I don't know," Michael answered. "A part of me really wants that, but another part of me is really ashamed about that and really afraid of what other people would think. What would our neighbors say when they see me dressed feminine?"

"I never liked your crossdressing much but it was a part of you and you are the only person who is responsible for that. So I guess you have to deal with it, right? If that means that you will have to go to work dressed in your skirts and frilly blouses then it is your problem only," Dr. Garrett continues. 

"You are lucky that Lucie will go on the two-week vacation tour with her class tomorrow so you will have some more time to tell her why you are dressed that way. Maybe you will need a serious father-daughter-talk then..." she said with a smirk.

"But I will help you dear, that's clear. Together we will find a suitable solution to keep your job and to satisfy all of Mrs. Sharp's requirements. Maybe you should take a step forward and go to work tomorrow in some more feminine clothes to please her?" she suggested. 

"You do have that light brown 4-piece suit, the one with the vest, pants and the skirt. I think you should wear it tomorrow, of course with pants, and with one of my white silk blouses. It's always better to wear new clothes each day when you work in a professional surrounding. And if you really want to hide your clothes a bit, you should not take your men's coat anymore. 

That doesn't look good. You can wear my lightweight brown trench coat instead. I guess Mrs. Sharp will love to see you dressed like that," his wife continued. "And if you are confident enough, wear your brown lace-up court shoes with the slightly higher heels. I guess that really looks the part."

Michael's wife suggested that he should wear some slightly higher heels to the office

"But the pantsuit doesn't have any real pockets," Michael replied. "Where do I put my keys and my wallet?" "Well, I suggest you use your brown purse with it. " Mrs. Garrett answered with a smirk. "Mrs. Sharp will love to see you carrying a purse, I'm sure. The best thing would be if you change into these clothes right now and we can see how everything looks together."

Michael was unsure if he would be able to change his wife's mind. He was really ashamed to go out as his male self but in this unmistakably feminine clothing.

So after changing in his brown pant suit he showed himself in front of his wife. She laid out her light-weight summer trenchcoat and Michael slipped it on too. Together with the brown laced court shoes he really looked elegant - really like a female business employee.

"What do you think, dear?" Dr. Garrett asked, "I think you look good and Mrs. Sharp will really be satisfied when she sees you like that, I guess."

"I'm really unsure. I look dressed like a woman but with my head and face disturbing the look."

"Maybe you should put on one of your wigs and use a little bit of makeup, or is that too much into femininity yet?" Dr. Garrett asked amused. "No, I think that's too much for the moment," Michael said. "

I will go like that and see what Mrs. Sharp says then," he answered. "I will lend you my hat then, so your hair and part of your face will be hidden and for the fast passengers you will look like an ordinary female assistant running into work," Mrs. Garrett finally said. Michael loved her suggestion. With the hat on it would be better to hide his face during the ride to work.

After that conversation, the two of them spent the rest of the evening talking and having a nice dinner. Michael stayed dressed in his brown pantsuit and heels. While drinking some red wine Michael came down and relaxed even if he was still really excitedabout  what the next day would provide for him.

The next morning Michael put on his favorite corselet again, put on the stockings and the white blouse his wife laid out for him. It was a nice one made of a lightweight polyester fabric and really comfortable to wear. After stepping in the pant suit his wife smiled at him and said "Don't be afraid, dear. You will do great today and I guess Mrs. Sharp will praise your look. 

Together we will solve any problems getting you to work in your new profession. 

Please tell Mrs. Sharp I will meet her today in the afternoon and we can discuss any further steps for you then. Maybe I can help preparing you well for the trainings at this other company."

"Thank you, dear, you are so lovely. You are a great help to me and I really appreciate any help possible," Michael answered relieved. 'Maybe I can help you to become more of a woman then you think...' Dr. Garrett thought to herself.

6 - Some humiliation at the office

The way to work was uneventful. Michael took the tube as always. Because he wore the hat and the woman's coat from his wife and his purse nobody noticed that there was a male hiding underneath the clothes. The shoes with the much higher heels made a noticeable sound when walking on the pavement.

When he entered the office Mrs. Sharp was already there. When she saw him a big smile appeared on her face. "Michael darling, come over to me," she said "My, you look absolutely smashing. Is that your coat and hat?"

"No, the coat and hat are my wife's," Michael answered. "She thought it could help me on the way to work to hide my suit and relax a bit."

When Michael opened his coat Mrs. Sharp helped him undressing. "That was really wise from your wife. Did she selected the gorgeous suit and that lovely blouse too?"

"Yes, she suggested both items and even gave me her blouse to wear. She wanted me to impress you," Michael answered.

"I am impressed," Mrs. Sharp said "And I really love the new shoes, dear. I guess you cannot hide anymore that these are women's shoes. That's so nice! The other secretaries will love your new look, I guess."

Michael's face went pale while thinking about the embarrassment that would follow later on. "Well, yes, my wife made the suggestion for this outfit. And she said that I should wear the brown lace-up court shoes as well because it is such a lovely match all together," "Your wife is a clever woman, my dear and she has rally good taste, Michael. Please tell her my regards today," Mrs. Sharp replied.

"Mrs. Sharp, my wife told me that she can come today to meet you as you asked for," Michael told her then.

"Oh, that's nice, I guess I have a lot to discuss with your wife. But now, my dear, hang your lovely coat and the hat on the coat rack and prepare for your day. And be a sweetheart and fetch me a cup of coffee please."

Michael undressed, put the coat and the hat on the rack and went into the kitchenette. Amy was already there and surprised to meet him. "Michael, dear, hello. You look lovely in that suit and those pretty shoes. Wow."

"Thank you, Amy," Michael replied with a shy smile. "Did you choose that outfit all by yourself or did Mrs. Sharp has chosen it for you?"

"Well, to be honest, my wife suggested that I wear that outfit today to impress Mrs. Sharp. And she even gave me her blouse to wear. She said that my boss would probably like the new outfit."

"I know she does! You look so lovely but also very professional. And it's really nice of your wife to give you her lovely blouse. It is a perfect fit and looks cute on you. She must be a really nice person," Amy said. "Did Mrs. Sharp compliment you already?" "Yes, she did," Michael answered, not sure what to say next. He was really ashamed that Amy also mentioned his pantsuit. Surely in no time all the office would know what he wears today.

"What do you think about spending our lunch break together, Michael?" Amy now asked with a lovely smile to him. "Me and the other secretaries often go out eating at 'Joe's' at the other side of the campus. I know you would love the meal there and I would like to introduce you to the other girls as well."

"Uh, I don't know..." Michael , really unsure. id "I'm so new to everything and a bit ashamed of my new role here. Maybe I´m a bit scared to go out dressed like ,that too. I guess it's a bit embarrassing fo. "ure.

"No, don't be afraid. The other girls are so nice and you will blend right in perfectly in your outfit. It's time for you to socialize with them and get comfortable with your colleagues. I know they will love you and you could become good friends. And as stylish as you look today you would be a good addition to us."

"Ok, so I guess that coming with you would be a nice idea then," Michael said at the end. "I like you, Amy and thank you for being so kind to me."

"I like you too, Michael and so will the other girls," Michael felt a strange feeling in his stomach when she said "other girls". Would he become part of the "other girls" in no time?

"I'll pick you up at noon at your desk, dear. But ask MSharp'sarps permission f.rst, I know that she is really into controlling everyt,hing and I don't want to getting upset over.you," With that ,said Amy left for her of,fice and Michael prepared the coffee for Mrs. Sharp.

Back at her office, Michael served the coffee. Standing right beneath her Michael looked into her eyes and asked demurely "Mrs. Sharp, may I have permission to spend my lunch break with Amy and the other girls? I met Amy at the kitchen and she made that suggestion."

"Oh, well, of course, you may. That is a really lovely suggestion from Amy. I know you will enjoy your trip with her and the other secretaries. 

And it will help you to blend in with your colleagues here at the office much better as well as find you in your new role. 

Of course, you should go with them. Maybe they can help you in the future to settle in better here."

"Now I want you to print out the two letters that you wrote yesterday. Bring them to me to sign and then put them in the mail. Then do all the other duties that are assigned to you. 

After that, please prepare the boarding room for guests. Ms. Moore and her assistant will come to discuss some final agreements. They want to meet us in the afternoon. Before that, I will meet with your wife. She just called and made an appointment for 3 p.m."

Back at his desk Michael did all the mentioned work. It was a busy day but nothing that he was not able to handle. The time went by faster as he thought and a few minutes before noon Amy came to his desk to pick him up for lunch with the girls.

She was not alone,.Melissa and Sandy from her department ,as well as Susan and Beth, Michael's former colleagues., were present Michael was speechless. 

"Oh, hi, nice to meet you all. Let me ask Mrs. Sharp before I start my break," he said quickly before he entered Mrs. Sharp's office.

"Mrs. Sharp, may I go out with Amy and the girls right now?" he asked her. Mrs. Sharp rose from her feet and went to her office door. "Oh, hi Amy, hello girls. Nice that you want to take my Michael with you. I really hope you enjoy your break. Please be patient with him, he is really new at being my personal assistant and a bit unsure about everything. I think you just saw his lovely outfit. I want you to take him in your midst and take good care of him," With that said she dismissed Michael and let him go with the girls.

It was a nice short walk to the other side of the campus. Michael enjoyed ort walk with the g. He and did not put on his coat and, but But he wore his brown purse with all of his belongings. He enjoyed a bit the clicking noise his heels made on the pave, alongther with the feet of the other girls.

Michael's colleagues just chatted with him and complimented him on his outfit. Susan really loved his silk blouse and wanted to know if it was his. "it's its my wife's bl,se. " he answerd. "She gave it to me this morning to impress Mrs. S.arp," Beth loved his shoes and said so. The girls were impressed that he was able to walk in them so confidently.

After arriving at 'Joe's' they were seated by the waitress. She didn't look closely and greeted everyone together as "ladies" and Michael was a bit ashamed about that. But after a while, he was confident again and enjoyed the talk with the other girls. Susan and 

Beth were surprised but so happy that he could continue to work for the company. They again offered to help him put together professional business attire as did Melissa and Sandy. 

Melissa's friend Rachel owned a beauty salon, so Melissa offered to help Michael get an appointment there. But Michael was not ready for that and declined for now.

So soon the break was over and they all returned to their workplaces. The ladies really had fun talking to Michael and said him so. They all agreed that from now on he should meet them regularly at their lunch breaks.

Then Michael returned to his desk to find another long list of tasks to do. Shortly after three in the afternoon, Mrs. Garrett arrived at the office. She carried a bag with the matching skirt for Michael's pantsuit and one of his pussy bow blouses but did not mention it to him. 

Michael greeted her a bit ashamedly because it was the first time she had seen him working as Mrs. Sharp's assistant. Because Mrs. Sharp always insisted on greeting guests formally with their correct names, he welcomed her by saying, "Welcome, Mrs. Garrett. Please have a seat." 

I will tell Mrs. Sharp that you just arrived. May I bring you a tea or a coffee please, while you are waiting?"

"No, thank you, dear," she replied. It's Nice to see you working here so professionally. You really look smart in that suit. I'm so proud of you." After Michael announced his wife to Mrs. Sharp, she was asked in. Michael was not invited, so he continued working at his desk.
