Ji-Woo's New Career

Ji-Woo Summers

The woman had been in the shower for half an hour, though her mind was elsewhere. She had entered as soon as she had broken from Alison's tour, hoping the water would clear her head, as it always did when she had workplace stress. But things were different this time.

The hot water against her newly de-aged, 30-year-old body barely registered. Ji-Woo had always been able to come up with some strategies when faced with setbacks. A path forward covered by backup plans and redundancies. She knew who to contact and how to manage her resources appropriately.

She had nothing this time. She had been cut off from everything she could rely on. Even her emotional needs had been taken. Her loving husband no longer remembered who she was, and worst of all, she was expected to sleep with his son.

The very thought made her nearly throw up. How had her life sunk so low, so quickly? She had sacrificed so much, and dedicated her life to a career, only for it to all lead to this. The agency and independence that she valued so much had been taken away by a perverted game that wanted her to become a teenagers sex object.

Her thoughts were briefly interrupted by a yell of rage from Lauren. Ji-Woo had not heard her enter the changing room but had heard her vocalize herself by now to recognize it instantly. The new goth was complaining about her outfit and it having changed or some such crisis. Ji-Woo didn't care and mostly just wanted her gone, not having the energy to deal with her. So she continued to stand under the torrent of water, waiting for her to leave.

Finally, after what felt like forever, Lauren left and Ji-Woo had the changing room to herself again. She turned off the water and grabbed a nearby towel to dry herself. She then walked over to the section of lockers labeled with her name, wrapping the towel around her body.

As Alison had said, the outfits inside were hers. Or rather, they had been. While it took her a moment to recognize them, all of her clothing had been ones she owned 8 years ago, from the time that she had been de-aged to.

For some reason, this upset her greatly. She just stood there depressed for ten minutes, refusing to put anything on. She knew it was minor compared to everything that had happened to her, but somehow taking those clothes felt like a further surrender to the role that Azure had **** her into... the young secretary meant repeat her love affair with the next generation of Summer male.

Unfortunately for her, time didn't wait for her decision. The moment the clock turned seven, she felt the same tingly sensation she had when Azure had puppeteered her earlier.

Her bare feet spun on her heels a full 180 and took a long stride. "Ack! Wait!" She cried, barely managing to hold onto her towel.

Of course, her legs did not wait. And just like so many others had earlier, they walked with an eye-catching roll, like she was strutting on a catwalk.

It only took Ji-Woo a moment to realize what was going on. Azure had said they were to meet at seven and that her 'body would know where to go.' Looking down at her legs, she complained "I can walk on my own!", but they added an extra bounce to her step, as if out of spite.

Still wet and wearing nothing but a towel, Ji-Woo was paraded through the castle halls. Coincidentally, it was the path that Alison and the group had gone down after Ji-Woo broke from the group. On the way, she ran into Elina, who was also being controlled into a humiliating walk. They said nothing to one another but gave each other a sympathetic look.

Azure

Azure let out an exhausted sigh as she entered her office on the southern side of the castle. Having previously only had a few minutes at a time when she wasn't on camera, this was her first chance to relax since Levi had arrived.

"Damn my back. These stupid sweater puppies are killing me" she complained. "How does Leah stand it?"

She stretched as the spell concealing her true appearance was lifted. Her bust shrank to its more petite size, while her iconic magician outfit morphed back to her preferred black suit and pants.

After doing a few more stretches, and cracking her neck, she collapsed into her favorite chair. In front of her was her desk which contained notebooks filled with notes and plans for each day of the show, as well as a laptop. On the opposite wall was a gigantic flatscreen television, broken up into several dozen sub-windows. Each showcased one of the girls, Levi, or interior and exterior shots.

In the top left corner was a live feed of what the audience was seeing. The footage showed Sophia looking through the various cards, before cutting to the entrance of the dining hall and half the contestants entering.

Azure felt a pang of annoyance that their first dinner would be starting at the same time as Levi and Elina's date, meaning that the former would be greatly overshadowed. She would have preferred they started dinner a bit earlier so they wouldn't conflict, though she suspected Alison's tour went longer than planned.

Still, this was hardly an issue. She was sure her editor could make this work by fudging the time a bit. Azure knew this because the said editor was one of her thralls, having been programmed by her, to make the same editing decisions that she would have.

She couldn't help but smile as she remembered her handiwork. While all of her staff had been perfectly sculpted by her, except Alison of course, the editor had a special place in Azure's heart. She thought back fondly how she had taken such a drab and boring hotel staff member, whose original form or gender she couldn't even remember, and made her into the perfect editor waifu. She called her TEAC: TV-Editor-Android-Cutie.

Azure's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her office door opening, all on its own. She grinned at the sight of Ji-Woo, a towel the only thing maintaining her modesty.

"Quite the attire. I didn't interrupt something did I?" Azure laughed.

Ji-Woo's eyes filled with venom. While she had been able to keep her temper on the inside during the opening ceremony, seeing Azure's face again after having so much time to contemplate set Ji-Woo over her tipping point.

"Whatever you have to say, just get it over with!"

Azure clucked her tongue. "So rude. Surely you didn't become a head in your company by having such a nasty tone with your superiors." She then laughed "Oh wait, I forgot. You just slept with them."

"You know that isn't true, and I'd appreciate you stopping that rumor"

"You're worried about your reputation? Why? Everyone here already knows you're a homewrecking slut. May as well own it." Azure laughed harder.

"ENOUGH! What do you want?"

"Surely you haven't forgotten about what the audience voted for you.

"Of course, I didn't. You want me to be his secretary for some reason. But you haven't said what that entails

"Hence why are your here dumbass" Azure replied annoyed.

"Just get it over with" Ji-Woo snapped.

"Straight to business. I love it." Azure said cheerily, and a pamphlet appeared on the table. "This will go over your responsibilities as the secretary of your sugar daddies' son. For brevity, I included a seven-point summary before going into greater detail.

“You sure like your numbered lists,” Ji-Woo said in annoyance, recalling her generous usage of them during the opening ceremony. She then read the paper

"The undersigned, Ji-Woo Summers, is expected to act as the secretary of Master Levi Summers from 9 AM - 5 PM every day. She understands that the possibility exists that her VP and BP may increase or decrease based on her performance in the following criteria, and that said criteria may not be negotiated or altered, with the possible exception of addendums caused by future transformation rounds.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

1. Help manage the Master's schedule, and keep him aware of said schedule.
2. Bring the master coffee in the morning with a report of the day's activities. Also, bring him coffee whenever requested.
3. Be a middleman to convey orders from the master to his subjects (contestants.) Likewise, be a point of contact contestants can use to convey messages to the master, should they not be able to do so directly. This includes inquiring or trying to be a part of his schedule.
4. Wear professional attire that also showcases the feminine beauty and/or erotic figure she was hired for.
5. Refer to Levi Summers as Mr. Summer, Boss, or Sir. Master is also appropriate in less formal contexts.
6. Do not usurp the master's authority, speak over him, or disagree with him, as would be expected of any self-respecting secretary in relationship to her boss. (Addendum: This can be flexible if said secretary compensates her boss with an appropriately equal sexual favor.)
7. Overall work to implement any requests the master has, without question or complaint, and do so with gratitude and a smile."

Ji-Woo scoffed as she read the last two points. "This isn't being a secretary! This is a ****."

"Aren't they the same thing?" Azure asked with mock confusion.

"Of course, they aren't, and you know it!"

Azure groaned in annoyance. "God you complain a lot. You're profile said you were reserved. Were the eight years I stole from you the ones where you learned how to not be a bitch to people?"

Ji-Woo rolled her eyes. "Oh? And how am I supposed to react then?"

"With gratitude" Azure replied, her smile fading slightly.

Ji-Woo laughed. "Why on earth would I be grateful to you?"

"Because you're actually being given a chance to survive," she said, her expression now totally blank.

"What are you..." Ji-Woo began, but Azure continued uninterrupted.

"Levi hates you. More than any of the classmates who dedicated themselves to making his life hell. He hates you more than he can ever admit to himself. The mere sight of you made him spiral into a full-on meltdown. The bitch twins have better odds than you do. Given the choice, he would rather never interact with you again. If I were you I'd be **** for any advantage I can get."

Azure gestured to the pamphlet. "This is your free pass to him, one he can't refuse as it's a part of the game itself. You have the opportunity to actually be useful to him, and gain points doing so. Points that I remind you, will not only keep you from becoming a sex doll but also potentially reuniting with your beloved.

Ji-Woo tried to say something, but the words were lost in her throat.

Azure leaned back into her chair. "Not to mention I'm giving you a chance for stability. I read your profile. I know you go crazy when you're not working. I've given you a 9-5 job that you can use as an anchor in all this chaos."

There was silence. Finally, Ji-Woo said, "I'm not going to thank you."

"I didn't expect you would. All I ask is that you do your fucking job."

Ji-Woo scoffed and snatched the pamphlet. "Will that be all?"

"Yes. Dismissed Mrs. Summers" Azure replied with a sarcastic salute.

Glaring for a moment, Ji-Woo grabbed and turned for the door, after a few steps Azure called out. "Oh actually, there is something!"

"What?" Ji-Woo asked, turning back.

"Towels aren't allowed outside the locker room" Azure smirked, before snapping her fingers.

Ji-Woo's only covering was taken away, leaving her totally exposed. Ji-Woo tried her best to hide her shock and embarrassment, not wanting to give Azure the satisfaction. She even refused to cover herself, knowing that's the reaction she wanted. She just gave the host a hate-filled but defiant glare, before turning and streaking right out of the office.

Levi Summers

Levi had been lying on top of his enormous bed ever since Azure left him. He was still fully clothed and hadn't even gone under the covers. His whole body had gone into shutdown, trying to recover from the emotional roller coaster he had been put through, as well as the moral dilemma Azure had inflicted on him.

His brooding was interrupted by the sound of a doorbell, which sounded laughably mundane in comparison to the castle mansion, to the point where he believed he just imagined it. But when the second ring confirmed it was real, he pulled himself out of bed, and down the spiral staircase through the floors of his tower.

Opening up the front door, he saw a familiar face in a pink dress.

"Hi Levi" Princess Elina said, awkwardly.
