A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

112 An unmovable Team

When Ella stepped into the reception hall of her company, she was overwhelmed by the warm reception she received from all her employees. They welcomed her with loud cheering and clapping.

“Woohoo!...”

“Congratulations ma’am!...”

“Bravo!...”

“We did it!...”

“Kudos ma’am!...”

“You are a genius, ma’am!...”

All her employees had assembled at the reception hall just to welcome her. The joy and happiness on their faces were priceless. Leading the jubilating staff members was Denise as expected.

“Three thunderous cheers to our talented and munificent CEO!” Denise cried out in enthusiasm.

.....

“Hip hip hip!”

“Hurray!” Everyone chanted in unison.

“I can’t hear you, hip hip hip!” Denise’s voice was even louder.

“Hurray!” Everyone responded again with an increased tempo.

“Shake the foundation of this building with your voices. Hip hip hip!” Denise raised one arm like a victorious soldier celebrating a successfully conquered city, almost ripping out her vocal cord from all her loud chanting.

“Hurray!” Everyone screamed in excitement, amidst loud whistling and clapping.

Ella was rendered speechless by the show of love. Happy tears escaped her shimmering eyes and she had to use a handkerchief to dab her eyes dry.

Denise walked up to the overwhelmed Ella, with a gorgeous bouquet in her hands. She kissed Ella lightly on both cheeks and handed her the flower bouquet.

“Congratulations, my amiable and amazing CEO,” Denise’s smile was heavenly.

“Oh, Denise!” More tears flowed freely down Ella’s cheeks. “You’re just too much for me. I must have made the angels smile to be blessed with a wonderful and priceless friend like you. Thank you!” Ella hugged Denise tightly. “Thank you so much for all the love.” She released Denise from her embrace and walked up to her happily beaming employees.

“You all are awesome!” More tears fell from her eyes. She sniffed a little, dabbed her eyes again, and continued with her speech.

“You are all amazing! I wouldn’t have asked for a better family than you. The victory we had was a result of your hard work and your remarkable resilience. This goes to show that if we continuously work as a team, we would be an unstoppable force in Amzone city and the world at large. Please, I urge everyone to be focused and give in their best. Let’s not allow ourselves to be used by haters like Jane and Abby. Let’s bring out our spirit to work and together, we would be an unmovable team.”

Another roar of cheers and thunderous clapping erupted from the gathered employee.

“Thank you all! By the end of the week, we would have a little party here at the office to celebrate our victory once more. Awesome job, everyone! Let’s all return to our work desk and have a great day.”

Everyone happily left the hall to their various workspace in two and three, chatting and laughing.

Denise was about to leave Ella’s side but Ella quickly held her back.

“Where do you think you are going?” Ella eyed her playfully.

“To set up a meeting with the board of directors and managers, so that you can address them,” Denise said in an excited but serious tone.

“That can wait for another ten minutes. Let’s go to my office.” Ella gently pulled Denise by the hand and led her to her office.

“By the way, this bouquet is so beautiful. Where and when did you get it?” Ella gently sniffed the flower and smiled. The mixture of different floral fragrances filled her entire system and made her fill blissful within.

“Hmm... Your sweet hubby got them delivered yesterday from his mum’s magnificent flower garden, here in Amzone city.”

“Leon!” Ella’s eyes shone in surprise.

“Yes, Leon. Except his name has suddenly changed.” Denise teased. “I asked Tom for assistance and he instantly reached out to Leon, who in turn called me and said he would send a perfect bouquet that his wife would love.”

“Oh, that’s my sweet husband, he is always making me smile every time.”

“That’s because he loves you so much. By the way,” Denise suddenly stopped Ella in her track, smiling animatedly. “Did you bring it?” She said in a whisper.

“Bring what?” Ella asked slightly confused. Then she quickly understood when Denise made the sign of a gun with her hand.

Ella giggled before answering. “Yes! Let’s enter my office first before I show you.” Ella said and hastily led the way.

“Good morning, ma’am, it’s good to have you back.” Ella’s secretary, Joan, greeted her enthusiastically.

“Good morning, Joan, thank you.” Ella returned the courtesy and went into her office, with Denise behind her.

When they were finally behind closed doors, Ella walked over to her table, dropped her handbag on it, and brought out one of her loaded golden guns.

“Oh my gosh!” Denise’s eyes widened in astonishment. “This is more beautiful than I had ever imagined.” Denise moved closer to Ella and touched the gun in her hands softly. “Can I hold it?”

“Sure thing,” Ella smiled. “It’s loaded but the safety is on. So, there is no cause for alarm.”

“Wow!” Denise’s eyes shone even brighter as she slowly but cautiously took the gun from Ella’s hand and scrutinized it like a child examining a favorite toy gun for the first time.

“Oh, Ella, you are so lucky to be blessed with Leon. He is...” Denise’s eyes almost popped out from excessive scrutiny. “Geez! Ella!”

“What?” Ella was slightly alarmed and thrilled at the same time.

“Ella!” Denise showed Ella her name that was imprinted on the gun.

“Oh, Denise, you got me slightly scared. I thought it was something else. Yes, my name is imprinted on the gun.”

“Ahhhhhh!” Denise screamed in excitement.

“Shhhh! Denise, this is a workplace, remember?”

“I’m so sorry, boss, I’m just over the moon with joy.” Denise gently returned the gun to Ella and hugged her.

“You’re so funny, Denise. By the way, we have spent almost twenty minutes gossiping. Please, set the meeting with the board of directors and managers for 9:00 AM, so that I can have enough time to settle down.”

“Okay, Ella, I will do that right away,” Denise said and left the office.

Ella returned to her desk and sat down. She quickly retouched her face with light makeup and was about to take her morning coffee when the intercom device on her table rang.

She picked up the phone and said; “hello.”

“Ma’am, this is Joan. You have a call waiting in line two. The caller says his name is Luke Robinson.”
