Demoted Chapter 1

I sat back flabbergasted looking at the contents of the box strewn across my desk. Not sure what to do I gathered the items up and returned them to the box and closed the lid. I picked up the box and left the office walking out to my car not saying a word to anyone. As I sat there I put my face in my hands not having any idea what to do numerous thoughts ran through my head. I new I would enjoy the opportunity I have always had thoughts of trying life as a girl and if I didn't do it with the state of the economy the odds of finding another job any time soon weren't good. But then what would people think if they knew what was going on.

I pulled the business card out of my pocket and looking at my watch it was ten thirty I had enough time to grab some breakfast before the appointment. I went to a waffle house not far from the salon and ate and when it was fifteen till noon I got in the car and went to the salon I was having second thoughts as I got out of the car and walked inside. There was a pretty lady in her early forties standing at the counter as I walked up she asked if she could help me. I told her I was looking for Margie and she replied, "O you must be Richard I've been expecting you. Just fallow me back to the back and we'll get you taken care of Kevin has already picked out the style he wants your hair."

Sluggishly I fallowed behind her she told me to cheer up if I change my mind I could always just cut it short. I agreed telling her she was right and feeling a little better about it I perked up. She led me to a closed back room saying it was for her special clients and sat me down in the chair as she closed the door. She walked around behind me saying we were going to do my hair up in a pageboy style that would make it easy for me to manage until I got the hang of it.

With that she went to work and in no time she was holding a mirror up to my face allowing me to see my new hair style I was impressed even without any makeup it looked very good.
