The Personnel Manager by Steve b Tony had knots in his stomach! He had just been notified that Karen Lee, the personnel manager wanted to see him in her office. In most companies, this was probably common place, However, Tony had seen some of his coworkers leave her office; emotionally shaken. They were never quite the same. Some of these guys were the aggressive, take no prisoners type of people until they left her office. He could remember several in tears, as they left her office. As he made his way through the maze of cubicles and offices, he kept thinking,"there is no way she could know." Tony reached the reception area of the personnel office and greeted Karen's secretary Alice. "Ms. Lee will see you shortly, please have a seat." It was a very beautiful office. Management had definitely not spared any expense with the personnel office. Karen Lee strolled into the office with a handful of files, giving Alice instructions. She glanced over, "Oh hi Tony, sorry I'm running a little behind, I will be with you in a moment. Tony had always heard the office hub bub about how beautiful Karen was, but he never really appreciated how right they were until that moment. She looked like a super model: beautiful long brown hair,  and hypnotic brown eyes. She was approximately 5 foot 10 inches with very long legs. She was wearing a conservative navy business suit but wore no panty hose. Tony could see her tanned, muscular calves as she walked across the office. Her shoes was flat pumps, he could see her high arches pop out of her shoes after each step. He thought," Maybe I can explain to her what I plan to do." Alice , the secretary invites Tony in Karen's office. Karen walks from behind her desk and shakes his hand. "Tony, please have a seat." Tony has a seat in front of her desk as she sits down. Karen throws her  long muscular legs across the desk, the soles of her shoes are pointed at him. "Tony, here at Smith and Jones, we value and expect employee's loyalty."  "I've heard that you aren't being a team player." " What's this bull shit about you going to the SEC." Tony replies,"Ms. Lee, I am only thinking of the long term of this company." We could face major liabilities if the the securities exchange council finds out about our firms dealings in insider trading." Karen's eyes start glowing with anger. She lowers her legs to the side of her desk. Tony hears her shoes hitting the floor. " Tony, I can always think clearer after a good hard workout. " Lets discuss this in the executive gym." The gym was located just behind her office. As he followed behind her, he noticed she was barefoot. Each step she took he could see the soles of her high arches. Tony was a lowly broker. He had never been in the executive gym. He was very impressed by the weight machines, high tech cardiovascular equipment and free weights. He noticed in the middle of the gym, there was a large pad similar to a martial arts dojo. Karen suddenly appeared through a doorway in a white martial arts gi with a blackbelt wrapped around her waist. "Hey Tony meet me out on the mat."  She spread her legs and went into a side splits. Tony could see the high arches of her feet and her extremely flexible toes curl back. She amazingly jumped up from her splits and yelled, "Lets do a little sparring." Tony thought what the hell," I've done a little boxing in my college days and went into a boxing stance. Karen, advanced on him, and faked a right hand to his head. He threw his hands up to block the punch when he felt a tremendous pain in his front leg. Karen had pounded the heal of her foot into his leg. Tony's leg wobbled then he went face down into the mat. She circled him, waiting for him to get up. She said," By the way,  I have a blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido. I haven;t decided if I'm going to let you live tonight. Tony slowly stood up when Karen executed a roundhouse kick to the side of his face. He was momentarily stunned. Karen kept circling him, "I could have knocked you out with that kick but I just wanted to sting you with my feet." Tony made an attempt to regain his composure when Karen threw a side kick, the side of her foot cracked his ribs and all the air escaped his body. He was doubled over when, he felt an impact of his ankle. Karen swept his ankle and Tony was on his back. She planted her toes on his throat. Tony started begging for air then he woke up. Karen's toes still pointed at his head. "I have people all over that know your every move. If I hear one word about you going to the SEC, I will destroy you and I will make it look like you attacked me. When you think about going to the SEC, remember my sexy legs and feet and what I can do to you. Next month, your payroll check will be addressed to me. " Tony left her office a shaken man. His leg was severely bruised and his ribs were broken, but he would from now on be a loyal man to the company.
