A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO! - Chapter 249

249 Authoritative Mama Bear

Immediately Leon left the room and slammed the door shut, Ella breathed out a sigh of relief.

She was a little bit thrilled that Leon didn’t consider her divorce threat because she had no plans of leaving him and going to start life another love life from the scratch. She only said those words as a mere threat and nothing more.

Although Ella was a little bit happy that Leon has finally permitted her to carry her pregnancy under his roof, she was sad about his last set of stringent decisions.

“How does he expect me to communicate with him only through text messages? How can two people live under the same roof and not talk to each other? Or is he planning to also leave the house? What does he plan on doing? What burden was he referring to that I’ll suffer for the rest of my life? Oh God, please, don’t let him do anything stupid! I don’t want to lose him!” Ella’s head throbbed from all the unanswered questions and her eyes burned with imminent tears.

“I need to talk to some before I explode from all these crippling thoughts.” She picked up her phone and dialed Denise’s number.

“My sweetie pie!!” Denise sang as she picked up the call on the first ring. “I’ve missed you!”

“Hi, Mama bear!” Ella beamed and sniffed to clear her blocked airways.

“Are you alright? You don’t sound like your regular self! Are you back from the island? Because I remember you told me not to call you until you reach out to me.” Denise’s tone conveyed a mixture of anxiety and panic.

“I’m not fine, mama bear! I need someone to talk to. I’m back and I’m at home.” Ella, unable to hold back her tears finally burst out crying.

…..

“Oh my goodness! Stop crying, baby girl! I will be with you in the next ten minutes! Calm down! Just do this quickly for me! Go into your bathroom and take a cold shower, now!” Denise said in a motherly soothing tone.

“Okay!” Ella replied like a sulking baby.

“Don’t just say okay to get rid of me! Are you standing right now?” Denise asked in a slightly authoritative tone.

“No! But, I’m doing it!” Ella wiped her tears and got up to her feet.

“Beautiful! That’s my girl! Now, remove your clothes and go into the bathroom. I will only hang up when I hear the splashing sound of the shower.”

“Okay!”

Ella did as Denise told her. When she got to the shower all nude, she turned on the cold shower valve and brought the phone a little bit closer so that Denise could hear the splashing sound of the water.

True to her words, the call disconnected. So Ella dropped off her phone at a safe distance where the water wouldn’t get to it before entering the shower.

——

Earlier, before Ella’s call came into Denise’s phone, she was having a closed-door meeting session with the managerial group of the APB fashion company in the conference room.

They were brainstorming on ways to improve the quality of the brand, productivity, and a large customer base, as the fashion and retail world was getting competitive by the second.

Denise was busy addressing the marketing department manager when Ella’s call came through.

Forgetting that she was in a meeting that required the utmost professionalism, she exclaimed in a high-pitched voice and quickly apologized with wordless communication when her senses kicked in.

While she was talking to Ella, she directed the next in rank to take over the meeting through nonverbal communication.

Afterward, she hurriedly left the conference room to avoid eavesdropping.

However, when she discovered Ella’s broken state, she almost went wild with panic.

While she was talking to Ella and trying her best to soothe her, she rushed into her office, picked up her handbag, and ran out of the building after hurriedly discharging some instructions to her secretary in scribbled notes.

Due to Denise’s tense behavior, some of the employees at the company, who saw her run past them without acknowledging their greeting, assumed that something bad must have happened to her loved one.

When Denise got into her car, she turned on the ignition and the engine roared due to the way she fiercely pumped the accelerator.

Putting the gear lever on reverse, she spun the car around like a car race driver and sped off.

On her way to Ella’s home, she placed a distress call to Tom, informing him that Ella wasn’t feeling too good. She told him to reach out to Leon and find out if he was aware of his wife’s state.

After almost twelve minutes of reckless driving, Denise safely arrived at the Villa.

At the point of entry into the villa, Denise was stunned by the sight she met.

Leon was been escorted out of the villa by the butler. The butler was holding a pair of luggage in his hands while Leon was carrying his briefcase.

“What the hell is going on?” Denise quizzed herself in alarm as she ran over to Leon.

“Leon!”

Denise called on him as she got closer. But the dreaded look on Leon’s face when he slowly turned to face her, knocked out the air from her lungs. She was forced to stop on her track and moved back a little.

Without sparing her another glance, Leon got into the car and slammed the door while thundering on John to take him out of the premises.

“Oh my goodness!” Denise clutched her unsystematically pounding heart. “Something bad must have happened between them! Ella!”

Denise quickly sprang into the house and up the stairs, almost knocking down Paul, who was trying to stop her.

“Madam Denise, hold on! You can’t go in there!” Paul said in a slightly raised tone as he ran after her.

Denise, who was way ahead of him ignored his pleas and warning. However, when she got upstairs, she had no idea of the bedroom Ella was currently in.

“Madam Denise, please!” Paul caught up with her and clasped both hands pleadingly. “Mr. Leon said that no one is allowed into this house except the doctor. I may not just lose my job but my head, if you don’t leave now.”

“What room is my friend in?” Denise boomed in an exasperating tone.
