Corporate Love Affair

Chapter six

Later that day, Belza took Liam to the interrogation room to where Albert was. They watched as he was questioned over and over on who hired him.

"My men sound like broken records with his asshole; but I have a pretty good idea who...." Belza said looking straight through the glass and straight at Albert; Liam could see the anger and frustration on her face and heard it in her voice as she stood there.

"He'll talk, they always end up talking." Liam put a hand on her shoulder and the electric feeling surged through his body, it instantly made his body and a part of anatomy stand at attention. Clearing his throat, he moved away and at the same time Belza tried not to bite her lip. Every part of her body came alive, it was strange and it made her want to jump Liam's bones. However, she swore to herself, she would never let another man in her life or worse of all... Sleep with her new secretary.

"Come on, we have much to do. I have to salvage what ever other business meetings, I have left." Belza took a deep breath and turned on her heels; her heart racing fast as the feeling of Liam's touch lingered her shoulder, she remembered having that feeling before.

Liam, on the other hand, watched as Belza walked. He watched her as she swayed and strutted like a model on a runway. You could feel the control and fearlessness in the hall she walked. How can New York's richest woman be single for so long? Men should be falling to feet every waking moment? I am surprised not one of her special units men have asked her on a date. Is she that scary?

Liam remembered news reports of a scandal with a relationship she had a while back; however, the day after the reports of Belza's ex-boyfriend death in the newspapers, apparently there was an attack. From what he could remember she looked happy as the paparazzi took pictures of them before her ex's death.

"Mr. Freeze are you coming?" He heard Belza's voice echo through the hall. Taking one last look at Albert in the interrogation room, he started after her; as soon as he got next to her, his hand was once again on her shoulder. Before Liam could blink, his boss had his back pushed to the wall with a force that almost knocked the wind out of him. Her body pinned against him and her lips were on his. Her hands ran down his chest, as Liam hands found her waist and brought her close to him, kissing her back. She could hear her heart pounding in her ears and feel Liam's under her fingertips.

Belza! What the fuck are you doing?

Instantly, she pulled away and quickly walked away. Leaving Liam in a daze against the wall, trying to recollect the events that just accord.

"I want you in my office in an hour." She said hastily in a stern voice, with a smile on her face, a racing heart and a confused feeling in her head.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Belza sat in her office chair staring at her computer monitor, trying to comprehend what she did about two hours ago. She cancelled all her meetings and asked Matthew to take Liam on a company tour around the building. She really needed him away from her. She honestly considered firing him, but his background in the field was impressive and how he was today....

She knew she would be firing him over something she did, not the other way around. It would be hard to find another person with his qualifications. She had never took any of her secretaries in the line of fire or on the battlefield with her, they were always on the sidelines. Out of harm's way.

The phone dragged her away from her thoughts, as she pressed the flashing red button. "Madrid?" She sighed.

"Ms. Madrid, we have a Nicholas Sanchez" She heard Robert's voice.

"What is his business here." She asked, getting from her chair.

After a long pause and the sound of distant voices. "Mr. Sanchez is the chief of the office and one of the officers that was called to the harbor earlier this morning."

"Robert, I'll send my secretary to get him. Thank you." Belza said as pulled out her cell phone and called Matthew to have Liam retrieve Mr. Sanchez from the lobby.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"We arrested over thirty men that were connected to the Russian and Italian mob. We have questioned maybe up to a dozen, who cracked under pressure." Sanchez said, as Liam, Belza and Matthew sat in Belza's office.

Belza sat behind her desk, soaking all the information in. "This doesn't make sense, Albert would hire mostly missionaries, not men from the mob; unless he really was desperate." She looked at Sanchez. "What is the information did the men give you."

"They know every warehouse in New York and in some states." Sanchez reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Belza. "These were the most important ones, he said were the man targets."

"Is there anything specific, they are looking for?" Liam asked. "Is it competition?"

"There are over a dozen or more companies after Belza's blueprints and inventions. Its a list that is too long to investigate." Matthew chimed in.

"How about narrowing it down to the top major ones that have attacked already?" Liam sat up and looked directly at Belza; who avoided eye contact.

"That does make sense." Matthew smiled. "Doesn't it Bell?" He looked at his boss.

Belza nodded and looked at Sanchez. "If you have any men to spare, I would need them to work for me, but will be under your command. I know its putting your men at risk, but they will be disguised as workers on the harbors and warehouses." She stood up. "I will have my own trained men there too."

"So what you are saying, is that you want my men to scout for you?" Sanchez raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, that. Also have the local NYPD in on it." She smiled, offering her hand forward.

Sanchez cleared his throat and stood up himself. "You have a valid point Ms. Madrid. I will see what I can do." He took her hand and shook it.

Once everyone was out of Belza's office, Liam returned to his desk and tried not to think of the kiss he had gotten from his boss. He stared at the documents in front of him, he didn't notice Belza standing right in front of his desk.

"I am sorry." She said standing there, looking at the floor in front of her. "For what happened earlier."

"Its fine." Liam shrugged. "No need to apologized, it was just a kiss."

"Yes, it was just a kiss." Belza nodded and was about to turn when Liam grabbed her and brought her close to his desk.

"Yes, it was just a kiss." He repeated and brushing his lips to hers, the electrifying feeling snaked down her spine. "Just. A. Kiss." He pulled away and looked at her. "Here are all the forms for the NYPD, Ms. Madrid." He handed her a stack of colored organized papers."I reviewed and finalized them; so now I will take my leave for the day." He picked up his coat from the back of his chair and made his way to the office door. "Good night, Belza." He smiled, leaving Belza standing there in shock.

"Mr. Freeze. I never dismissed you." Belza cleared her throat. "You have still work to finish." She came up from behind him and pulled him back to his desk, a shy smile on her face.

What are you doing? Her inner voice questioned her. What was she doing?

"What you gave me wasn't a kiss." She pulled him down by his shirt collar and kissed him.

Liam wrapped his arms around her and deepened the kiss. After a few moments, Liam broke the kiss and looked down at her. "We shouldn't be doing this." He chuckled nervously. "You're my boss."

He had a point, first day on the job and she already wants to have her way with him. Pushing herself away from him, she cleared her throat.

"You are free to leave. Just be here early and contact Officer Sanchez. I want a full report on all details, when I get into the office tomorrow." Belza's voice became deadpan and serious.

Liam quickly put on his coat. "Aye, Ms. Madrid." He quickly made his way to the door; opened it and quickly closed it behind him. Leaving his boss in the empty office.

Look at what you have done, dumbass. You just started the next biggest mistake in your life.
