A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO! - Chapter 266

266 Inappropriate Behaviour

Tom was about to leave his office to go catch up with Leon when his mobile phone buzzed in his pants pocket. He took it out of his pocket and read through a brief message sent by Leon.

In the message, Leon informed him that he was currently at the Play Lounge, instead of their usual club hangout, and that he was waiting on him.

“Hmm…I wonder what this young man is up to.? Well, whatever it is, at least I’ve still got two hours to spare before Denise rounds up her shopping with Ella,” Tom said as he checked his wristwatch before getting into his car.

Leon was seated by himself, sipping a glass of white wine and reading a celebrity magazine when a waitress approached his table, holding a glass of wine.

“Sir, the lady over there…” The waitress pointed to a table on the east side of the lounge. “…asked me to give you this.” The waitress dropped the glass of the exact wine Leon was drinking on his table, with a folded note by the side.

“Hmm…did she?” Leon’s lips curved into an evil smirk as he stared briefly in the lady’s direction.

The lady was lustful smiling and waving at him when their eyes momentarily met. She was waiting for a signal from him but Leon simply looked away as though she was a sight for sore eyes.

…..

He picked up the note beside the drink and read it.

The note simply read: ‘hello handsome, may I join your table?’

Gritting his teeth in anger, Leon squeezed the note and dropped it inside the very expensive glass of wine the lady had offered him before refocusing his attention on his drink and the magazine he was reading.

This wasn’t the first time a beautiful lady had attempted to get his attention. Sometimes, he found such gestures enticing when he was in the mood to frolic. Other times, he found such gestures annoying especially when he sought out peace and quietness.

At the moment, all he yearned for was a quiet place to clear his thoughts and ease his mind. The last thing he was interested in is getting involved with any other female aside from Xia, who was still on probability.

The thought of Xia made him smile as an image of her captivating personality flashed across his mind. But at the same time, he felt his heart crucifying him for cheating on his wife.

Even though he tried justifying his actions, an unforgiving part of him continued to bleed for Ella.

Stifling every thought of the female folks in his mind, he refocused all his attention on the magazine he was reading and the refreshing feel of the wine he was sipping.

Just when he thought he had conquered his excruciating thoughts about the female folk, the uninvited lady walked up to his table, wearing a frown on her face.

“Do you know how much that glass of wine cost me? If you didn’t want it you could have sent it back rather than ruin it.”

Leon slowly looked up from the magazine he was reading and stared at the lady before him. His eyes bore a deadly glint as he thoroughly scrutinized her.

One thing was certain, this lady had no clue of who he was or what he was capable of.

“Are you going…” The lady didn’t get to finish her statement when someone gently tapped her on the shoulder from behind.

When the lady turned around, she was shocked to see one of the lounge managers staring irritably at her. Behind him were two heavily built men in black well-tailored suits and dark shades.

Instantly, she knew she was in trouble.

“Madam, please, can you follow me, immediately.” The lounge manager gestured towards the exit. “Mr. Treshvire doesn’t appreciate your inappropriate behavior.”

“Mr. Tre…” The lady was briskly escorted to the exit door before she had time to finish her words.

As the lady was been led out, grumbling, Tom walked into the lounge. Without straining his head for too long in search of Leon, he caught sight of him addressing a middle-aged man; who looked like an administrative personnel in the lounge,

Although Leon appeared to be calm while talking, the other person appeared agitated. His hands were clasped together and he was pleading about something to an unperturbed Leon.

“Hey bro!” Tom stretched out his hand for their unique handshake when he got to Leon’s table.

“Hey Tom,” Leon smiled as he shook Tom’s hand and waved his left in dismissal to the lounge senior manager.

“Thank you, Sir,” the senior manager bowed and took the rejected glass of wine away.

“What was that all about?” Tom asked as he took his seat.

“Something irrelevant and not worth discussing,” Leon answered dismissively.

“Hmm…if you say so,” Tom snickered and made an order for the same drink Leon was having.

They chatted for a while about general happening, Leon’s late father and Nana, and how Marissa was coping before the matter of Ella came up.

“I never knew that getting married would be this miserable and life-changing until Ella got pregnant.” Leon scrunched and disheartened face conveyed the enormous burden in his heart. “This pregnancy has suddenly given her wings to talk back at me. Can you imagine that she was threatening me with divorce?”

“Really!” Tom’s eyes widened in amusement. “Wow! I’m beginning to love your wife’s feistiness by the second. Someone needs to…”

Tom paused on his statement when Leon flashed him a deadly stare.

“Okay, you know, some women tend to be more hostile during their pregnancy as a result of different hormones acting up, and I think your wife is one of them.” Tom took a sip of his drink to stifle a chuckle.

“You see the reason why her pregnancy irritates me?” Leon sneered.

“Come on bro, you sound as if having a child is like having a terminal disease.” Tom nudged Leon on the arm.

“Tom, I’m not joking. I’m feeling miserable here. I don’t know how to live with Ella and her pregnancy. I don’t know how to cope with her protruding tummy. This pregnancy is going to ruin her perfect shape.”

Tom couldn’t help himself from chuckling at Leon’s expression, earning him a punch on his shoulder.
