I figured the weekend was the best time to go through some files. Everyone would be away from the office and I made sure to make a copy of a few things. I know Nemes supplies security for the company; I just need some concrete information so I can end it once and for all.
What I didn't count on was coming across an issue with a contract that Nemes has. After making some calls, I realized that I had stumbled across a serious issue and it didn't sit well with me to ignore it. I quickly called Ms. Stone to let her know that there was an issue and now I'm waiting for them to arrive at the office.
I see an SUV pull up in front of the building. The passenger door opens and the sexiest leg pops out. Damn, Ms. James is fine as hell. I need to think about something else because wanting her is not an option for a variety of reasons. The ladies walk up to me, not looking too happy to be in on a Saturday.
"I'm really sorry for the call. I just noticed some surveillance equipment that is set up in vital areas, but they do not belong to this company."
"Good catch, Mr. Case. You did the right thing."
"Thanks Ms. Stone." I stand aside so she can unlock the door. Ms. James has said nothing and I can't see her eyes with the huge shades she is sporting. I take the time to really look at her. She is wearing an off the shoulder, red sweater with some black shorts that go to her mid thigh. Her black wedges give her a bit more height than her usual 5'8. Those legs are long and luscious. She is such a gorgeous woman. Her bob sits below her ears and frames her face in a way that accentuates all of her features. Her brown skin just makes you want to lick it too see if it tastes as good as it looks. Whoa….lick her skin….what the hell is wrong with me?
We walk in the building and head to the elevators. This building is silent compared to how lively it is during the work week. We pile in to head to the top floor. As the doors close, I can feel heat filling up the tiny room. It is surrounding me, but no one else seems to notice it. It isn't suffocating like one would expect. It is actually turning me on which is very weird. I can also smell the sweetest smell ever. It smells like peaches and cream. I find myself licking my lips, imagining such a sweet taste. I'm seriously trippin' right now. I shake my head a bit to gain some of my senses back.
The relief that washed over me when those elevator doors opened, can not be easily explained. I couldn't wait to get out of that tiny box. We head into Ms. James' office and sit down. I explain exactly what I found, just not the details that led me on the search.
"So, you are saying that we have a spy, essentially." Ms. James stands up and paces back and forth behind her desk. "Why would someone want to spy on this company?" she says more to herself.
"Where, again, did you find the surveillance?" Ms. Stone asked, ready to write it all down.
"They are tiny trackers meant to blend into the programs already used. One was in the financial department and the other was in HR."
"We need to check the accounts and make sure everything is as it should be. We also need to review all personnel files; especially new hires; have an outside company check our background reports for accuracy." Ms. James stops pacing and plops into her chair rubbing her temples.
I always make sure I do my job very well, but this time, I may have put myself in a bit of a conundrum. If the outside company is better than my background, I'm screwed. I always make sure my background checks can hold up under the most intense scrutiny, but there is always that 'what if'.
"I'm just happy I was able to catch it before it was too late, Ms. Stone," I turn to look at my boss. "Ms. James, I'm sure the extra background search will start with me right?"
"First of all stop with the formalities. You may have just saved the company and it is Saturday. I'm sure we can be a bit more casual. I'm Gemma and she is Janessa." Janessa. Just saying her name ignites something in me that I have never experienced before. I hate to see my reaction when I let her name roll off of my tongue. Janessa doesn't say anything, but just nods in agreement.
"Well if that is the case, please just call me Justin."
"Second, I will go make all of these calls we need to make and you can sit with Janessa to get started on your extensive….extensive background check," Gemma says with a shrug while she heads towards the door. Janessa's head has popped up now and she is looking at Gemma with a pleading look, but pleading for who knows what. Gemma smirks and leaves the room.
"Um….is everything okay? I can go help Gemma with her calls and we can do this later." I truly don't want to leave this woman, but I offer it anyway. Everything about her is drawing me in as if she is the flame and I am the moth. It is almost overpowering and I really should be trying to get out of this room. I should, but my body won't move.
Janessa sighs and looks me in my eyes. Lawd, the look in her eyes is enough to send me. I can see lust, curiosity, anxiety, and something else I can't quite pinpoint. "No, it's fine. We can start now. The company we use will go back through your background to make sure we didn't miss anything, but is there anything you want to contribute now?"
What can I say? I'm not who I say I am. I mean your company no harm, you just may have information I need to complete my plan. I promise once I get what I need, I can do what I came to California to do and leave. Yeah, that is all going to go over well. Janessa is staring at me as if all of the answers to life's questions are hidden in my eyes. "Uh…no. There is nothing other than what you found in your initial check." I don't let my nervousness or trepidation come through. The last thing I need is for Janessa to suspect anything. My background should hold up to extra scrutiny with no problem.
