...his acting manager's petite features only to be assuming them minutes later, complete with her trademark dark colored skirt suit.
''Hello there.'', Steven greeted the reflection of Elizabeth in the mirror. ''Oh..'', Steven cleared his throat, realizing he still sounded like Natalie. ''Much better.'', Steven said, in Elizabeth's voice and tone. The acting manager had gone home earlier than expected, leaving an Elizabeth-shaped hole that Steven could comfortably fill.
Steven then waited to let Natalie and Becky get on the shop floor before re-appearing. The cue soon presented itself.
''Stevie.'', Becky called out from outside.''Liz wants us now.''
''One moment!'', Steven replied after he changed his voice back.
''Okaaaay....'', Becky's voice trailed off, as she and Natalie left the tea room and made their way downstairs, clearing the field for 'Elizabeth' to emerge from the men's restroom.
Steven sighed in relief as he stepped out from the men's restroom, transformed to the exact detail into a copy of Elizabeth. ''They sure are a handful huh?'', Steven said softly as he cupped his bosoms, feeling their weight and volume.
''Excuse me?'', suddenly a voice that Steven knew so well startled him. Steven looked up, broken from his trance to see Liz giving him one of her disapproving looks. Caught in action, Steven made a downward sweeping motion with both hands, as if straightening his already neat attire. ''I mean, the new trainees.'', Steven nervously spoke after he realized that Liz was not buying it.
''Oh.'', Liz smiled. ''Not really hun, not yet anyway.''
''Well... that's great.'', Steven again trying to as normal as possible. ''I might... see you do the induction then.''
''Sure.'', Liz paused, ''Have you seen Steven though?''
''Errr... He said he wasn't feeling well.'', Steven quickly lied.
''Guess so as well, girls told me he saw someone dying on his way to work.'', Liz's voice was filled with sympathy. ''Poor man.''
''Did he?'', Steven kept up the facade, but he was somehow glad that Liz was thinking about him.
After more banter, Liz excused herself and went downstairs, leaving Steven sighing with relief.
