A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!-Chapter 254 - Amzone City Fairy Godmother

254 Amzone City Fairy Godmother

“Yes!” Leon answered curtly and dismissively.

From the tone of his reply, Xia concluded on two facts; firstly, he was a very private individual, who didn’t like talking about his personal affairs and secondly, his marriage could be undergoing rocky weather.

Whichever was the case, Xia decided that it was best not to talk about it. She knew that as time goes on, she would be able to figure out which fact was correct.

However, she was disappointed that he was married because she was already developing strong feelings for him.

“Ugh! Why are all the good men always married or unavailable.” Xia pouted.

Leon chuckled and said; “you think I’m a good man?”

“Yes! you are not just good but a great gentleman and I think I like you.” Xia smiled as she aired a fraction of her feelings.

“A word of advice, don’t like me! I’m a dangerous gentleman and I’m capable of so many things you wouldn’t want to identify with.” Leon’s stern tone conveyed every atom of warning.

“Hmm... you just got me excited right now! I love dangerous gentlemen!” Xia replied with a challenging stare.

.....

“Really!” Leon smirked. “That means I have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Xia went silent for a couple of seconds and suddenly halted a few feet away from the lobby entrance.

“Can I ask for a weird favor?” 𝘧r𝙚e𝓌𝐞𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝙚Ɩ. com

“Go ahead!” Leon replied softly, making Xia already flushed face deepen in its color.

“Can you keep me company for just tonight? I know you were joking when you said you wanted to join me for fun. But I kind of took it seriously.”

Xia stared into his shaded eyes, hoping that he would take off his shades so that she could read his expression.

She couldn’t believe that she was breaking her own principle by flirting with a married man. But she couldn’t stop herself because this gorgeously handsome man had stolen her breath away.

“Hmm...what do I get in return as a reward if I decide to honor your request,” Leon smirked devilishly.

“Anything you want!” Xia’s hazel eyes shimmered as she beamed animatedly. She couldn’t believe her stroke of luck that he was considering her request.

“In that case, I’ll wait for you in the lobby while you go upstairs, shower and change into something sexy. I’m in the mood for some clubbing if you are.”

“Oh, yes! I can’t wait! Thank you!”

Xia threw her arm around Leon and hugged him, before dashing into the lobby in enthusiasm.

Back at the Villa, Ella couldn’t stop smiling after speaking with Olivia through a video call. The sight of the newly born baby girl and her sister’s happy face was priceless to behold.

Although her mum, who was nearby, refused to partake in the call or speak to her, Ella’s spirit was not deterred for one second. She celebrated with her sister and promised her that she would visit her in the coming week.

All thanks to Denise’s fun-loving companionship, Ella was able to enjoy a blissful night’s rest.

By the following morning, she was in high spirits and ready to resume work.

Even though she was slightly worried about Leon’s whereabouts or what he was up to, she decided to give him some space like he requested while hoping that time would heal all wounds.

“Good morning, my gorgeous honey pie!” Denise stepped into Ella’s bedroom beaming, after announcing her presence. She was amazed and impressed that Ella had showered and was almost done getting dressed for work.

“Oh, mama bear!” Ella beamed as she walked up to Denise and gave her a warm squishy hug. “Beautiful morning! Thanks for last night!”

“You’re welcome, my sweetie pie!” Denise kissed both her cheeks and released her.

“I hope Tom was able to survive the night without you?” Ella teased.

Denise playfully shook her head like someone lamenting.

“The poor young passed out last night as a result of not taking his daily compulsory dose of DTLC. He is currently in the emergency section of the hospital but the doctor assured me that he will be discharged today.” Denise sniffed and dabbed at the invisible tears in her eyes.

“Hahaha!” Ella almost tumbled with laughter due to Denise’s animated gestures and statement.

“Oh, Denise, my ribs hurt!” Ella wiped some happy tears from her shimmering eyes. “What in God’s name does DTLC stand for.”

“Denise’s Tender Loving Care.” Denise batted her long curly lashes playfully, thereby striking another chord of laughter from Ella.

“Oh, Denise, you’re killing me!” Ella held onto her tummy and sat down on the bed to catch her breath.

“On a more serious note, you are not wearing that to the office this morning!” Denise pointed at Ella’s outfit.

“What’s wrong with it?” Ella stood up and stared at her simple but elegant dress with loose fitting. She thought there was a blemish on it that Denise spotted.

“Girl, when I talked about slaying last night, I didn’t mean this outfit.”

Denise made a short signal sound and two female domestic staff stepped into Ella’s bedroom bearing four sets of fitted sophisticated and glamorous formal dresses.

“Who said you can’t look gorgeous or even enticing when you’re pregnant,” Denise said with every bit of pride in her.

“When did you make arrangements for all these clothes?” Ella carefully scrutinized the beautiful clothes before her.

“Yesterday, when you were sleeping.”

“Wow, they are so gorgeous!” Ella’s eyes glinted with excitement.

“Yes, they are!”

Denise beamed as she saw the contagious smile on Ella’s face.

“Sweetheart, I want you to be the hottest pregnant woman Amzone city has ever seen. I want young men drooling over your beauty when I upload your new baby bump pictures on social media. I want you to change the general belief amongst married young girls who think that pregnancy makes a woman ugly and fat by rocking your baby bump in the most daring outfit. Most importantly, I want your jealous husband to run crazy with the fear of losing you if he doesn’t reconfigure his brain.”

“Geez! Denise, who are you?” Ella’s eyes shone with bewilderment and appreciation.

“I remain your humble mama bear and Amzone city fairy godmother.”

“I love you so much, mama bear.” Ella ran into Denise’s open arm and hug her tightly before releasing her to go try out her new dress.
