Every Day is Now Dress Down Day

Ellie couldn't believe this was really happening as she approached her office wearing nothing but her shoes and glasses.

There was no way around it. This was her fifth straight day of enforced nudity. James was loving the humiliating condition he had inflicted on her way too much to let it stop anytime soon, and since he wrongly thought she enjoyed it too, and she was unable to deny that, there was potentially no end date for this. It was either quit her job or do it naked, for now at least.

Ellie half expected everyone to freak out as soon as she entered the building, but thanks to the power of the curse, and her boyfriends desire for it to be feasible to keep her like this long term, nobody did. Barry on the door made some predictable quip on seeing the photo of Ellie on her security pass that he didn't recognise her with her clothes on, but most of her colleagues were far too professional to even do that. There were strict and clear rules about treating someone differently because of a medical condition or disability, after all.

As she stood in the elevator, it was like everyone was pretending not to notice that, while they were in their sharp business suits, Ellie was wearing nothing but smart black heels. She could sense them stealing glances at her fully uncovered body when they thought she wasn't aware of it, but they really weren't that subtle.

After reaching her floor after what felt like way more time than she had actually spent in the elevator, Ellie walked over to a desk in an empty area of the open plan, sat down, booted up her PC and tried to act like any of this was even vaguely normal.

Ellie wasn't sure if she could ever get used to this. She hoped she never reached a point where she would have to. It was hard to concentrate on her work when nearly every waking minute these days was either fretting about how she could carry on living like these or trying to think of a way to persuade James to reverse his perverted spell over her. It was like her nudity curse was Ellie's entire existence and identity now.

She was trying to motivate herself to get on with the seemingly mundane task of doing her work when Brian, her boss walked over.

"It's good to see you back in the office Ellie. Are you ready for the presentation this afternoon?" he asked as he stood a little closer to her than he usually did, and than she would have liked him to under the circumstances.

"Absolutely" Ellie lied. She had memorised her script off by heart, but presenting naked? She wasn't at all prepared for that.

"Okay, because I've actually made a decision about that" Brian said as Ellie secretly hoped she was going to be stood down from it "I want you to present the whole thing. My part as well. And I want you to do a full Q$A at the end"

"What?!" Ellie couldn't help but let her panic at this surprise decision show "How can I do that? I haven't prepared for either of those things! Shouldn't someone senior close the pitch and lead the Q&A anyway?"

"Honestly Ellie, our potential investors are going to want to see you way more than me or any of the other members of the senior team. I'll send you my closing notes to look over, and as for the Q&A you are a very clever young woman. You will be fine"

Ellie was already reeling from this unwelcome development as her boss started to walk away, when he suddenly stopped and turned back to her.

"Oh, and one more thing. Make plenty of references to your nudity. Make light jokes about it, link it in with what you are saying. People will respond well to that, trust me!"

Ellie didn't even manage to find the words to respond before Brian was back in his office. So, basically she was now being given favourable treatment and better opportunities than her colleagues of her own level because she was naked. Not that she even wanted to benefit under those circumstances, but it was only going to be a matter of time before people got pissed off with her.

She didn't have time to worry about that now though. She needed to spend the few hours she had remaining before the presentation swatting over Brian's notes and trying to anticipate what questions she might be asked after it. Also, much as she hated the idea. to keep Brian happy she needed to think of ways to weave references to her own nudity into an otherwise very dry presentation about sales projections for the next quarter. If she was going to have to to this, she may as well do a good job and get some credit for it.

Time flew, and before she knew it Ellie was stood in front of a fully clothes audience of people who were all way more important than her.

In the front couple of rows were the very investors she needed to charm. Behind them were some of the most senior figures in her company, people who could make or break her career on a whim. Most of them had never even spoken to Ellie before, but she was well and truly on their radar now. She had to make sure the impression she made was a positive one.

She stepped forward and, taking her bosses advice, opened up with a nudity based quip at her own expense to address the obvious elephant in the room.

"Good afternoon. My name is Ellie Janus and, as you can see, I don't take any half measures when it comes to making efficiency savings"

The investors chuckled as Ellie gestured down at her naked body, seeming to find that cute. The senior executives from her own firm were smiling approvingly at her. The poor girl was dying inside, but she had to acknowledge that had worked. Now she just had to soldier on and get through the rest of the presentation, as well as that dreaded Q&A.
