161 An Antagonistic Approach

Chapter 161. An Antagonistic Approach

The only thing that had been keeping Leon’s rampaging emotions in check was Ella. He didn’t want to act like a deranged love-sick puppy in her presence.

All the while Luke was busy spewing trash and trying to buy Ella with his demeaning proposal, Leon kept tapping his feet on the floor, to stifle his anger. Although he wanted to say something, he decided that since it was Ella’s company, she should make all the decisions, irrespective of the outcome.

Leon was amazed at the level of composure he was able to attain after watching Luke audaciously lust over his wife in his presence. On a normal day, he would have put a bullet through Luke’s head for daring to stare at his woman in such a manner. His mind speedily raced to the anonymous admirer who sent a bouquet to Ella’s office.

“Could Luke be the person that sent that bouquet?” Leon pondered amidst burning rage. “I guess I have to dig further or set a trap for that person.”

When Ella finally stated her decision concerning Luke’s proposal, Leon couldn’t stop himself from celebrating within. Ella had just spoken his mind in her most charming and soft nature without any form of hostility. Now, all he had to do was enforce her wish.

Another thing that got Leon overly thrilled was the horrid expression on Luke’s face.

Luke had been deceived by Ella’s charming and soft nature. He had mistaken her smile for a positive reply.

“How can this idiot be so dumb?” Leon thought to himself.

.....

For the first time, Leon felt that Chloe was smarter than the overzealous and optimistic fool seated before him.

While Leon was still basking in the euphoria of Ella’s decision, Luke’s last statement broke the thin thread of composure he had left.

Luke’s intrepid statement irked Leon so much that he felt like strangling him with his bare hands. He clenched and unclenched his fist to steady his monstrous fury while glowering at Luke.

“Do you have a death wish? How dare you talk to my wife in that manner?”

“You think my conclusion is harsh? You must be very stupid to think that I will want to do anything which you or your deranged family company.” Ella scowled at Luke. Her sudden chilly glares and antagonistic approach soften Leon steaming anger. He sat back, grinning evilly as he allowed her to vent all her suppressed ire.

“I thought you were sensible enough to do your research and find out all the crimes your family has done to me. By the way, is your adopted father aware that his puppet is dining with a sworn enemy?” Ella scoffed at Luke’s puzzled expression.

“Well, I guess not. Since you were foolish enough to insist on seeing me in person I guess you now know my resolve.”

Luke gritted his teeth in agony as the beautiful Ariella finally revealed her sharp retractable claws and gouged at his throat without mercy. Rage flowed through his vein like molten lava and he wished a falling satellite would come crashing down on Leon’s head. He tried to say something in his family’s defense but his throat was clogged with a lot of simmering fury. He shook his and breathed down his frustration before speaking up.

“I’m sorry for the way my family y...”

“Your eight minutes is up, young man.” Leon interrupted Luke and gestured for him to leave. “But before you go, I’ll give you this friendly warning for free; keep your shenanigans away from my wife and advice your adopted father to do the same. If you bug her one more time with your stupid calls or your dirty stunts, then get ready to tangle with me. Now, you can get lost!”

Leon snapped his fingers and Luke was forced out of his seat by Ella’s bodyguard and led out of the restaurant.

“I don’t like the way that young man was staring at me.” Ella’s forehead puckered. “It felt as if he was undressing me with his eyes and doing weird things to my body.”

Leon chuckled at Ella’s invigorated expression. His anger slowly dissipated and an unquenchable desire to kiss her engulfed him.

“I’m happy you were able to observe that, but you have nothing to worry about. This is the last time you would hear from him or see him. So, where were we before that madman interrupted us.” Leon moved closer to Ella with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

“I talking about Denise and T...hahaha!” Ella giggled due to Leon’s exploring hand, which had somehow found its way under her dress.

“I wish we were back home right now.” Leon pulled Ella’s chin closer with his other free hands and locked her lips in an intense kiss.

Ella parted her lips and her tongue tangled with those of Leon for a while. Then she boldly returned Leon teasing by slowly stroking and massaging his bulging cork.

“Ella, you’re becoming wild with each passing day.” Leon stopped her unforgiving hands from making him lose his senses.

“Well, I learned from the best.” Ella licked her lips when they parted monetarily to catch their breath.

“Hmm...”

“I had a great teacher. Isn’t there a popular saying, that the student will surpass his teacher?” Ella smiled with a wicked temptress glint in her eyes.

“I’ll leave you to answer that question when I’m done with you tonight.” Leon kissed her lips briefly and stood up.

“Shall we?” Leon stretched his hand towards her.

“What are we waiting for?” Ella gave him a daring stare and took his hand.

——————-

After a busy day at work, of planning and ensuring everything was running smoothly, Denise left the office to the car park where Tom was patiently waiting for her.

“Hi, sweetie!” Denise sang as she caught sight of Tom from afar.

“Hello darling,” Tom beamed and walked up to her. He gave her a squishing hug and kissed her lips tenderly before he release her from his hold. “How was work?”

historical

“Exhausting!” Denise dramatized her reply causing Tom to roar with laughter. “By the way, can you guess who called me early this morning?”

“I don’t need to guess,” Tom sighed in frustration. “It’s my brother Fred and he is currently at my place.”

“What?” The color drained from Denise’s face.
