Wednesday morning arrived with harsh sunlight streaming through his window. Callum showered, shaved, and discovered that his old work clothes no longer fit properly. His shirts were too tight across his chest and shoulders. His pants were loose at the waist.
He settled on the best-fitting option and headed to the office, stopping at a café for breakfast first. Women noticed him. A girl waiting for her coffee smiled at him. The barista gave him extra change "by accident." Even a businesswoman in a suit held his gaze as she walked past.
The charm aura and pheromone control were working perfectly.
When Callum arrived at the office, several coworkers immediately rushed over.
"Callum! You're back!"
"We were so worried!"
"You look amazing, what happened?"
He deflected their questions with easily, surprised by how natural the social interaction felt now. Before, office small talk had been torture. Now it was effortless.
Then Gabriella appeared.
She had clearly dressed to impress today, wearing a low-cut blouse that pushed her large breasts up and together, creating dramatic cleavage. Her skirt was tight and short. Before the accident, this outfit would have had Callum stammering and unable to focus.
Now he felt.…nothing. She was just another woman. Her breasts were nice, sure, but so were Linda's. So would be countless others.
"Callum!" Gabriella touched his arm, eyes wide. "Oh my God, what happened to you? You look completely different. Like, overnight different."
He smiled politely. "Just the accident, I guess. Changed my perspective on things."
"Well it looks good on you. Really good." She squeezed his bicep. "Have you been working out?"
"Something like that." Callum gently extracted himself from her grip. "I should check in with Kelvin. Excuse me."
He walked away, leaving Gabriella staring after him with confusion and what looked like.…interest? Too little, too late, sweetheart.
Kelvin's office was on the top floor, a corner space with windows overlooking the city. Callum knocked and entered when called.
"Callum! Good to see you, mate." Kelvin stood and shook his hand firmly. "Seriously, you look great. Better than ever, actually."
"Thanks. Glad to be back."
They made small talk about the accident, about work projects, about nothing important. Callum played the role of grateful employee perfectly while studying the man who had cuckolded him. Kelvin wore his wedding ring prominently. Photos of his wife and two young daughters sat on his desk.
What a fucking hypocrite.
"Well, I'll let you get settled back in," Kelvin said. "Let me know if you need anything."
Callum returned to his desk and booted up his computer. He worked in IT support, fixing problems and answering tickets. Boring, mind-numbing work that he had accepted because he didn't think he deserved better.
That was going to change.
He went through the motions of his job, responding to emails and resolving basic issues. Around 11am, nature called and he headed to the men's bathroom on his floor.
The moment he pushed the door open, he heard it. Heavy breathing. A muffled moan. The slap of flesh against flesh.
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
Callum walked further in and there, in the corner stall with the door not quite closed, were Kelvin and Gabriella.
Gabriella was straddling Kelvin on the toilet, her skirt hiked up around her waist, blouse pulled down to expose her large breasts. She was bouncing on his cock, ass slapping against his thighs. Kelvin had his face buried in her cleavage, sucking and biting at her nipples. His hand covered her mouth, muffling her moans.
They were so caught up in each other they hadn't noticed him yet.
Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
Callum deliberately knocked over the trash bin, the metal clattering loudly against the tile floor.
Gabriella yelped. Kelvin's head snapped up, eyes going wide with panic. They scrambled to separate, Gabriella nearly falling off him.
"Who was that?" He heard Gabriella whisper in a panic.
Callum swiftly walked out before they saw him. The uncertainty of who had seen their act would definitely eat at them more.
He returned to his desk, a smile playing at his lips. When he glanced up, he caught Sharon from accounting looking at him. She was in her late thirties, attractive in a professional way, and always put together.
"Well hey, Callum," she said, approaching his desk. Her gaze traveled over him appreciatively. "You've really.…well. New year's in two days, yeah? Got any resolutions?"
"Working on a few things," Callum said with a knowing smile. "What about you?"
They flirted briefly before she returned to her department. The old Callum would have been thrilled by the attention. The new Callum was already thinking about his next target.
