Chapter 1
"I don't like this." Prue said.
"We need the money to keep living in our family home." Piper returned.
"They say he's a womanizer."
"And a demon." Phoebe added.
"Look, it's not like I haven't heard all this before, but I need this
job and we need the money."
"Promise me you'll be careful."
Piper held up her right and faced Prue. "I promise."
"Leo Wyatt was standing in the bedroom, while his boss, Cole Turner,
got dressed.
"You were right about Liz Carr, she was a leech. She wouldn't leave
me alone. I had to sneak out of my own club just to get away from
her." Cole said.
"Good thing I caught you before you brought her home. You never would
have gotten rid of her."
Cole smiled. He was glad he hired Leo, he was always watching his
boss' back.
You better get downstairs and greet applicants for the waitress job.
Remember, we only need two."
Piper was standing behind a pilar, fixing her dress, wondering why
she let Phoebe pick out her outfit, when Leo made an announcement.
"Ladies, please place your resumes on the table and have a seat, Mr.
Turner will be down in a few minutes." Leo explained.
When Cole came downstairs he couldn't believe how many women were
applying for the job.
"Good morning ladies. As you know, I have two positions open, so
I hoped you applied at other clubs, as well."
When Cole sat down he noticed Piper.
She's so beautiful, he thought to himself.
When Piper saw Cole, she couldn't believe how gorgeous he was, even
though he was a womanizer.
"Okay, Dawn Monroe, please follow me." Cole said as he and Barbara
Joyce, one of his waitresses, went to the other room to
interview the applicant.
"I just know he'll hire me." Jenna Thompson replied.
"No, he'll hire me." Sue Fielding said.
"Ladies, please calm down or I'll throw you both out, without an
interview," Leo scolded.
About 10 minutes later, Dawn, Cole and Barbara walked out.
"I'll be in touch." Cole said.
"Thank you." Dawn said.
"Okay, Piper Halliwell, please follow me."
Once they were all seated, Cole read Piper's resume.
"Seems like you only worked in a few places."
"I know my resume is short, but I did have a lot of job titles at
Quake."
"Why did you leave?"
"The owner refused to hire more people. He felt since I was doing all
the jobs, he didn't need any other employees."
"So, he took advantage of you."
"In a way."
Cole was quiet for a moment, trying to rereading the resmue, but he
was distracted. He knew he was going to hire Miss Piper Halliwell,
no matter what, but he had to go through with the interview.
"Okay, Miss Halliwell, you have a lot of experience running a
restaurant, but I need a waitress. Have you ever waited tables?"
"Yes, that's what I was hired for, at Quake."
"And how long did you hold that position, before you took over the
managing the restaurant?"
"Two years."
"Okay, Miss Halliwell, I will be in touch. Have a nice day,"
Cole watched Piper walk out of the door.
"You going to hire her, aren't you?" Leo whispered.
"You bet." Cole answered with a smile.
