A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

303 Denise Stays!

Tom found it amusing and fascinating that Leon would ever consider Denise’s help for anything.

This was the same Denise he had been mad at, and almost slapped the previous day at the hospital.

Tom also recalled that if it wasn’t for his presence in Ella’s hospital room, Denise and Leon would have been at each other’s throats.

Hence, Leon’s request caught him by surprise and made him laugh his heart out until Leon was forced to punch him in the arm.

“Tom, I’m in a messy situation right here. You don’t need to rub my predicament in my face if you don’t feel like helping. I am not finding this laughter of yours amusing.”

“Okay! Okay!! I’ll be serious from henceforth.” Tom said in an apologetic tone.

“It’s just that your request sounds like an impossible mission.”

“There is no such thing as an impossible mission,” Leon waved his hand angrily. “As long as there is a will, there will always be a way.”

“But, you and Denise don’t see eyes ball to eyeball. What makes you think on Earth that she will help you out?” Tom said thoughtfully.

.....

“You, Tom!” Leon responded firmly. “If you could cajole her with sweet words and make her see reasons why Ella should forgive me, she will help out.”

“Reasons!” Tom unintentionally scoffed. “Give me at least three of those convincing reasons because my brain seems fagged out.”

“Well,” Leon massaged his forehead as he critically thought of the best response to give. “I want Ella to know that she’s the only one I love and will ever love.”

“But you slept with another lady without any justifiable reason and you signed a contract with that same lady. How does that explain your love for her?” Tom questioned angrily.

“Tom, are you on my side or against me?” Leon glared at his best friend. “I don’t need to be reminded of my crime every now and then. The guilt is killing me slowly and I can’t take it anymore. Please, for heaven’s sake, all I’m asking for is just your assistance.”

“Hmm...” Tom breathed a sigh of frustration. “I will try but I would rather talk directly to Ella than go to Denise.”

“What! You can’t be serious! Ella wouldn’t listen to you.”

“But, she would not hurt me. Denise would practically set my balls on fire if I dare talk to her on your behalf.

“Damn, Tom!” Leon slapped the table angrily.

“Let me tell you something about my Denise that you may not know,” Tom stressed in a serious tone. ”

“Denise is the toughest lady I’ve ever met but the most caring if you can melt your way through those walls. She is ruthless when dealing with an enemy. When I say ruthless, I mean Ella’s kind of Justice is slow-paced for her. If Ella is like fire, Denise is a combination of fire, lightning, and thunder. You saw the way she was hostile to you back at the hospital. It is something I’ve never done since we became friends.”

“Yeah!” Leon sighed out loud. “That fiancee of yours can sometimes be a handful.”

“Let me further shock you with this piece of information,” Tom said in a low voice, making Leon grin. “Denise told me that she would be staying over at your house for the next three days until Ella travels to her sister’s place.”

“What!” Leon piqued face scrunched even harder. “The fiancee of yours is going to be your death sentence. Are you sure you’ll be able to keep up with her as a wife?”

“I’m a hundred percent sure that Denise was uniquely designed for just me,” Tom said proudly. “No one, including you, would dare mess with me when my sweetheart is by my side,” Tom grinned, earning him a kick in the shin.

“Bro, in a nutshell, you have to face your demons alone at this very moment. Maybe in the future with lots of good deeds, Ella will forgive and maybe accept you back. But a the moment, prepare your mind for the worse because she is heartbroken,” Tom said emphatically.

Leon raked his fingers through his hair, knowing that all Tom said was right. So he finished up his drink and said to Tom, “Wish me luck,” before leaving the restaurant.

Tom shook his head as he watched Leon leave. “Poor Leon is going to be slaughtered and roasted by Ella and Denise’s tagged team. Maybe that would teach him to keep his wandering dick in his pant.”

Back at the Villa, Ella, and Denise were both lounging on the terrace and having a good time together when Ella caught sight of Leon’s approaching car.

Instantly all the laughter and smiles vanished from her face and were replaced with a dreadful glare.

“Ella, remember what I said earlier,” Denise said softly.

“No more crying,” Ella replied in a calm tone which was in contrast to her riled expression. She stood up from her seat and abruptly walked into the living room, with Denise running after her due to her fast-paced walking.

Immediately Leon stepped into the living room with Paul carrying his briefcase, Ella audaciously instructed Paul to give Leon back his briefcase and leave them.

Paul’s eyes widened in horror as he didn’t know how to enforce Ella’s instructions. But Leon instantly came to his rescue by simply collecting the briefcase from him and asking him to leave politely.

“Thank you, Sir. Thank you, ma’am!” Paul bowed politely and briskly left.

Leon, who initially came prepared with lots of words to win Ella’s heart back felt his brain go numb due to the dangerous glare in her eyes.

As if Ella’s scowling at him wasn’t enough to make him have a cardiac arrest, the infuriating Denise stood behind her while giving him the most condescending look he had ever witnessed on Earth.

“Sweet...”

“Don’t you ever in your miserable life address me as that stinking name again.” Ella took the word right out of Leon’s mouth before he had the chance to complete it.

“Can we at least talk in private without your friend meddling?” Leon pleaded. Even though his heart was filled with anger at seeing Denise, he was careful not to show it in his expression.

“No, Denise stays! You have lost the right to bargain with me ever since you broke our marital vow.” Ella said between clenched jaws.
