*AN: First I'd like to once again thank everyone who reviewed my story. And
I'd also like to express my hurtness for the flame I got. As I've stated in
the first chapter, and now in the summary; it's based on the movie "This
Time Around." So, yes, it is going to be very similar.
Piper walked out of her building, a mid-thigh skirt and a form fitting top revealing her figure as she wobbled down the block in high heels, higher than she was used to. Claire walked a few paces behind her, making sure she didn't tumble. As they headed down the block, Claire noticed a bunch of heads turn in their direction, and she knew it wasn't because of her jeans and t-shirt. Piper, focused on not falling, didn't notice any of them.
"Claire, this isn't me," Piper complained.
"I know that, but look around you, all sorts of guys are checking you out," Claire motioned around them, "Leo will definitely be interested, if he's any sort of guy."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive," Claire said with a firm nod, "now, what are these meetings today about?"
"He wants to get to know the employees better, learn about them on a more personal level, we aren't supposed to call them 'meetings,' but he's talking to each one of us individually," Piper replied.
"Perfect," Claire responded with that devilish glint in her eye. Arriving at 'Quake', Claire faced Piper and reached out to perk up her friend's breasts. "That's when you play it up, be the sexy vixen that's in there... somewhere."

Walking into the conference room, Piper made sure to do as Claire instructed and swayed her hips as she moved. Feeling completely ridiculous and not anything like herself, Piper looked at Leo, who stood by the door, and felt her knees going to jelly.
"Hi... Piper, right?" Leo inquired, his amazing blue eyes focused on her, and only her. A half smile adorning his face, not cocky like most bosses, more of a humble confidence.
Nodding, Piper replied, "Yeah... hi, I... whoa!" as she tripped on her heels. With lightning fast reflexes, Leo moved forward and caught her before she fell to the ground. Her face mere inches from his, it began to heat up.
"Are you okay?" Leo asked, genuine concern radiating from him. Piper could only nod, her face a pink color with the heat of embarrassment. Physically she was fine, emotionally was another story.
Aftering talking with Leo for a while, Piper felt more relaxed and decided to once again try and release her inner vixen. Glancing down at herself while Leo's back was turned, Piper quickly devised a plan. Adjusting her seating position, Piper stuck out her chest, accentuating the size of her breasts.
When Leo turned back around, it was very obvious where his gaze was pointed. Smiling to herself, Piper stretched a bit, her chest still stuck out, only to have the top button pop off her form fitting button up shirt and shoot across the room, narrowly avoiding hitting Leo's head.
"Whoa!" Leo nearly yelled, pushing the chair back as a reaction.
"Oh my God!" Piper exclaimed with a mortified look on her face, before leaping up and running out of the room, not even looking back at the stunned look on her new boss's face.
"Piper...wait.." Leo said, but it was too late, she was gone.
Running out of the restaurant, Piper didn't even bother to stop to tell anyone she was leaving, nor did she pay attention to the numerous guys staring at the fact that her black lacey bra was very visible. Stopping for only a moment to take off her forsaken heels, Piper continued on until she was safely in her apartment with her back against the door.
Crossing the room, Piper threw the heels on the florr before snatching up the phone and dialing Claire's number.
"Claire Kinkaid."
"It's me."
"Hi Me," Claire responded, then stopped joking when Piper didn't laugh, "what happened?"
"I was trying to do as you said, you know, release my inner vixen, but..." Piper trailed off.
"But what?"
"I almost poked his eye out with a projectile button."
"Oh no!"
"Oh yes!"
"Maybe throwing yourself at him as a overtly sexy manager isn't the right approach," Claire offered.
"Gee, you think?! Since I said that this morning!" Piper responded with evident sarcasm in her voice.
"You can't give up."
"Here's a thought, why don't I just... oh, I don't know, be myself?"
"That is just crazy enough to work!" Claire exclaimed. Piper was glad they were on the phone rather than in person so Claire couldn't see her roll her eyes.
