Lunch

Curiosity and the need for understanding lead you to arrange a lunch meeting with your school friend, the one person who noticed the change in you amidst the sea of oblivious coworkers. Over a meal, you open up about the astonishing events that have unfolded in your life, explaining the curse, the transformation, and the challenges you now face.

Your friend listens intently, absorbing every detail. He offers a perspective you hadn't considered before, shedding light on the dangers that lie ahead. He cautions you about the CEO's intentions, emphasizing the need to remain vigilant and resilient in the face of the advancing threats. His insight proves invaluable, helping you map out the treacherous terrain that lies before you.

As you delve deeper into the conversation, sharing your fears and uncertainties, a newfound bond begins to form. The friend who once knew you as a man now sees you as a woman, and the connection between you grows stronger. It's a delicate dance of understanding and acceptance, as you navigate the complexities of this evolving relationship.

However, your moment of connection is abruptly interrupted as news reaches you that the CEO has set his sights on further undermining your position. In a meeting, he seizes the opportunity to ridicule you, using your femininity as a weapon against you. The sharp sting of his words reverberates through the room, causing an uncomfortable tension to settle over the gathering.

In that moment, your school friend rises to the occasion, attempting to defend your honor and stand up against the CEO's demeaning remarks. However, his valiant effort only serves to draw more attention from the CEO, who recognizes the potential threat your friend poses.

In the afternoon, your friend receives an unexpected email—an invitation to the CEO's office. Uncertainty and concern fill the air as you contemplate the intentions behind this summoning. The stakes are high, and you realize that the confrontation brewing between your friend and the CEO could have significant consequences for both of you.
