Still The Boss Of The Company
At the grand old age of seventy-five, Charles could say that he had truly achieved everything he had wanted to do in his life:
He had built a multi-million-dollar company from scratch all by himself.
He had become one of the most famous entrepreneurs in the country, appearing countless times in many renowned business magazines and conventions.
And most importantly for him, he had had a fulfilling marriage with many children and with many more grandchildren to come.
With all of those goals accomplished, it was more than understandable why he was so excited about finally retiring, getting a well-deserved rest, and enjoying the rest of his days in peace...
But that did not happen.
For he was then diagnosed with Second Puberty.
Cases of Second Puberty at such an old age where practically unheard of, but from the very few cases that had been recorded around the world, they all ended the same way: No matter how old the man was, the hormone fluctuations and changes would ultimately transform him into a woman in her mid-twenties.
And to no one's surprise, that was exactly what happened to Charles.
In the span of two months, Charles saw how his body slowly but surely transformed and deaged on each passing day until finally, Second Puberty had transformed him into a beautiful young woman who could have easily been mistaken as one of his very own daughters.
So all of a sudden, he now had to get comfortable with many things he had never even thought he was ever going to face in his entire life:
Getting used to his new name Charlotte.
Becoming acquainted with his new female body and all the things that it entailed.
And most surprisingly, acknowledging the fact that he now had no good excuse to retire.
Thus, to the surprise of his all of his family, friends, business partners, and employees, he simply went back to work almost as if nothing had happened.
And in many ways, that was exactly the case.
He still wore the button-up shirts and the business pants that he used to wear every day for the last fifty years or so. He still went to all of the business meetings and conventions like he had so regularly done so. And he still took great care of all of the family affairs as if he were the father of the house.
It was just that he now was in the body of a young woman who by her sheer apparent age, didn't seem like she could have had all of the experience that a seventy-five year-old person would have.
There were definitely many things that he still had to get used to, but for all of the changes that Second Puberty had made, he was actually kind of looking forward to his new life as a woman in her mid-twenties. Of course, he still would have preferred to not have Second Puberty and enjoy his retirement like he had planned, but from his point of view, this was none other than a second chance for him to achieve the other things which he hadn't been able to do in his long life.
That being said.
The only thing which he wasn't looking forward at all was dealing with new employees or unaware business partners who for some reason assumed that he was either a temp or a secretary.
Now that really pissed him off.
