A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

Chapter 280 - 280 Ella’s New Discovery.

280 Ella’s New Discovery.

Leon chuckled inwardly as he held Rodriguez’s defeated gaze. He had already set plans in motion to deal with him if he moved an inch out of line. Hence, he decided to allow Rodriguez to make a mockery of himself in the presence of everyone seated.

“Since you have nothing more to say,” Leon smirked devilishly, “you can either sit down and behave like a responsible schoolboy or you can leave this room the same way you came in. It’s your choice.”

Breathing invisible blazing fire through his nostrils, Rodriguez scrunched face and narrowed chilly gaze glared at Leon.

“You dare address me as a schoolboy! Someone old enough to be your father! How...”

“Point of correction...” Leon interrupted Rodriguez in a calm but dangerous tone, “... in this life and the next, you brainless fool can never measure up to a true legend like Rex or even father an iconic man, such as myself.

A wave of murmuring and secret chuckling engulfed the room and instantly died down when Leon raised his right hand.

“You have five seconds to make a decision. It’s either you sit down or get lost. Otherwise, I’ll be forced to throw you out of this room and ban you from future meetings,” Leon said curtly

“Hmm...” Rodriguez chuckled bitterly. “You haven’t seen the last of me.”

When he turned around to leave, Leon replied to his threat in a calm but firm voice.

.....

“I’ll be patiently waiting.”

After Rodriguez had left the conference room, Leon continued his speech as though it was never interrupted.

His present calmness and placid tone came as both a surprise and warning to all, especially those members loyal to Rodriguez. No one was able to decipher his mood as he spoke at length.

Before he concluded the meeting, he gave room for some stakeholders to share positive ideas and plans for the growth of the empire.

These shared ideas were welcomed and taken into record, before the meeting adjourned with light refreshments.

Immediately Leon left the conference room, he was taken straight to the airport; where he boarded his private jet back to Amzone city.

On his long trip back home, he placed a call across to Sky.

“Sky, what do you have for me concerning the address I gave you?” Leon asked in a stern tone.

“Boss, we’ve been able to locate the psychiatric hospital. It is established on the outskirts of Pine City and it is heavily fortified. Currently, three of our men are in the process of being absorbed into the facility as a caregiver, a janitor, and a nurse. The operation is going to take us probably four days or at most, a week to execute.”

“Good job, Sky. Keep me posted when you have made initial contact with our target.”

“Okay, boss.”

After Leon was done talking to Sky, he called John for a daily report on his wife’s activities.

—————–

Back at the APB fashion company. Denise and Ella spent their remaining working hours acquiring contact of all those that would make up the surprise party members.

It was a tiring job compiling names and researching these individuals, to be certain that they were capable of working discreetly.

In all, they were able to compile thirty-five names which were inclusive of top management personnel, heads of department, and a few junior employees.

Ella and Denise took turns reaching out to each of these individuals one after the other. They informed them of their plans and the venue for the surprise party.

Ella also made a scheduled request for cakes, snacks, drinks, and decorations to be carefully brought down to Leon’s company through one of the enthusiastic heads of human resources.

Also, a few enthusiastic staff of the company offered to help with the decoration of the conference room on the D-day of the party.

All the while, Ella was careful to keep the name, Miss Xia Chu as the last person on her list.

After thoroughly researching Xia Chu, through her social media accounts, Ella discovered that Xia was not just a beautiful and charming twenty-year-old girl, but was also the cherished daughter of a very influential billionaire. She also discovered that Xia recently relocated to Amzone city.

At about a few minutes before 4:00 PM, Ella picked up her phone and stared at the beautiful picture of Xia Chu. The image of Leon and Xia flirting with each other in the office flashed through her mind and dampened her soul.

She felt something hard and sharp pulling at her heart and making her gasp for air as she scrolled through more of Xia’s pictures.

“Leon, I just hope you haven’t cheated on me with this girl, otherwise...” Ella swore under her breath as she watched Xia flaunt her captivating seductive hourglass shape in a beautiful party dress.

Just as she was thinking of her next plan of action, an idea crossed her mind and she decided to place a call to Ida.

“Ella, how...”

Ella interrupted Denise with a ‘hold on’ hand signal

“Hello, Ida,” Ella said in her most charming voice. “How are you this beautiful day.”

“Fine, ma’am. I am doing great and we miss seeing your lovely face.” Ida replied in her motherly caring voice.

“How is my husband? I trust you all are taking good care of him.”

“Mr. Treshvire is slightly fine but we try our best to make him happy.” Ida’s tone of response told Ella that they were all having a hard time pleasing Leon.

“Ida,” Ella called her name sweetly, “I would like to ask you something private and I need you to be honest with me.”

“O...kay, ma’am.”

Ella could detect the hesitation in Ida’s voice but, she continued with her question.

“I would like to know if my husband has been spending the night every day at home.

“Umm... yes. He has been regularly coming home ever since he came here except on Tuesday night.”

“Are you trying to say he didn’t spend the night at home on that very day?” Ella asked to reconfirm what she heard.

“Yes, ma’am. On that very day, he came down to the house very angry. After hanging around and drinking for a while, he stormed out of the house only to return the following morning in a cheerful mood.”

“Is that so?” Ella clenched her hand as her face scrunched into a scowl.
