A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO! - Chapter 264

264 An Amazing Papa Bear

Leon’s frigid stares did not leave Xia for a second as he continued to glare at her disdainfully.

He was unperturbed by the fright in her eyes or the continuous trembling of her body. Even though he knew he was transferring aggression toward her, he cared less.

He was mad at her for cunningly trying to get information about Ella from him. He was also riled by the fact that she had been researching about Ella.

“What made you think that you had the right to nose around my family affair? Do you think us having sex makes you automatically my girlfriend? It thought I made things clear from the start that you must never meddle in my private affairs?” Leon tightened his jaw as he scowled at her.

“I… It was a mistake on my part,” Xia said pleadingly. She couldn’t believe that a man would ever talk down on her the way Leon was currently doing.

However, she had never met a man like Leon. He was like fire and ice mixed together. Every charming and dangerous aura he exuded made her feel endeared to him. He sounded dangerous yet beneath that cloak of danger was a generous, kind, and loving man.

This positively made Xia envy Ella. Having a handsome man like Leon for a husband; who from his behavior would do anything to protect his wife, was the dream of every single young girl.

Even now that he sounded callous to her, she didn’t feel any atom of hatred for him. Instead, she blamed herself for upsetting him. Hence, she tried her best to sound really sorry.

“Mr. Treshvire, it was foolish of me to nose around your affairs and I’m sincerely sorry. I promise that this would never happen again.” She swore under her breath as her pleading eyes met Leon.

…..

Seeing the genuineness of her actions and the humiliation in her eyes, Leon loosened up a bit and tried to sound calm.

“Miss Chu, I don’t want us to quarrel on your first day of work in this complex. It’s not healthy for our friendship and partnership. Nonetheless, I do not take it lightly with anyone, who messes around with my wife or my family affairs.”

“I understand, I’m sorry once again. I will…”

“I’m not done talking!” Leon interrupted Xia.

“Do you remember when I told you this morning that I’m heartless and unforgiving?

Xia nodded her head in response while averting Leon’s gaze.

“Well, since today is your first day at work, I’m going to pretend that we never had this conversation.”

“Thank you!” Xia’s face broke into a smile.

“But, the next time you pull this stunt, you will wish we never crossed paths,” Leon stressed each word emphatically.

He stood up and walked towards his floor-to-ceiling window, to allow Xia to breathe, as he observed she had been holding her breath.

“Phew!”

Xia blew out forced air that she didn’t realize she had been holding back. She inhaled and exhaled sharply as she wiped more sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief.

When she observed that her action was ruining her make-up, she quickly brought out a small make-up purse from her handbag and speedily retouched her face.

Afterward, she stood up and picked up her things to leave but Leon’s soft and gentle voice caught her off guard.

“Now that you’ve seen a tiny bit of my temper, do you still want to hang around me or have you changed your mind?” Leon smirked.

Although Ella’s words kept reverberating in his head, he pushed them aside and stared at the beautiful Xia’s hourglass figure.

“A tiny bit!” Xia mumbled as she pondered on how Leon was able to effortlessly switch emotions. “If he called this terrifying show of emotion tiny, what would a huge one look like? A nine and half-magnitude earthquake?”

She turned around to face him and was stunned to see him staring at her with a smirk dancing at the corner of his lips.

This made her smile shyly while displaying her perfect white dentition.

“Umm… If you bear no grudge against me, then I am still willing to go with the initial agreement.” Xia smiled.

“it settled, I’ll send some documents to your office later today, for you to go through and sign,” Leon said dismissively.

At about a few minutes past two the same day, Denise was informed by her secretary that Tom was around and wanted to see her.

“Send him in immediately,” Denise ordered in an enthusiastic tone.

“Hello, baby!” Denise got up from her seat and ran to hug Tom when he entered the office.

“Hi, sweetheart!” Tom beamed like a million torch lights.

He carefully dropped the captivating orange paper bag of food takeout on the floor and opened up his arms to receive Denise.

“I’ve missed you so much, my love.” He showered her face with kisses.

“Tom, slow down!” Denise giggle. “It has just been a day apart.”

“It was more like a year.” Tom cupped her face and locked her lips in a passionate kiss.

“Tom, I’m still at work, you’re ruining my makeup,” Denise complained in a muffled voice as Tom greedily ravished her lips.

“I’ll help you fix it!” Tom lifted her from the floor and gently placed her on her desk while locked in an intense kiss with her.

After a brief passionate moment, Tom finally released Denise and went to get the bag of food takeout

“Aww!” Denise’s eyes sparkled. “You got me lunch.”

“Anything for my queen!” Tom smiled as he handed the paper bag over to Denise.

“Yum! Thank you, baby!”

Denise blew a kiss to Tom as she quickly opened up the bag and brought out three food packs.

“Wow! Isn’t this a little bit too much or are you planning to stuff me with so much food?” Denise eyed Tom while grinning.”

“I didn’t want my baby starving herself after doing so much work,” Tom winked at her. “Also I got an extra in case you want to share with Ella.”

“That’s my baby, always thoughtful.” Denise drew close and planted a brief kiss on his lips. “You’re going to make an amazing papa bear.”

“Thanks love,” Tom smiled as he assisted Denise to open the food pack lid.

While they were eating, Tom cautiously brought up the topic of Ella’s pregnancy and Leon’s demand.

“Babe! Although I’m truly happy for Ella’s pregnancy, I think Leon is losing his shit because of it.”

“Hmm!” Denise chuckled softly.

“I can’t seem to figure out your friend. What man would be disappointed that his wife is about to give him a bundle of joy?”

“That man is Leon and he thinks you’re meddling in his marriage.” Tom gently dropped the bombshell while praying that Denise wouldn’t overreact.
