Chapter 292 - 292 Happy Birthday!
“Yes, sweetheart, your office.” Ella maintained the sly smile on her face while inwardly scoffing at the mesmerized look on her husband’s face. “I hope you don’t plan on keeping me standing here all day in these high-heeled shoes?”
“Of course not, my love!” Leon smiled sheepishly, as he strolled over to her and gently took her soft hand into his. “Your beauty is leaving me breathless.” He raised her hand to his lips while holding her magical gaze and plant a warm kiss on it.
“Let’s go!” Ella broke free from his intense gaze which was beginning to soften her heart. She freed her hand from his and slipped it into his arms, and they slowly walked downstairs like a truly happy couple.
Ella’s glowing beauty and captivating attire didn’t go unnoticed by members of the house staff, who found it difficult to understand what was going on.
“Wasn’t it just yesterday, that the madam was rushed out of this house unconscious, scaring the life out of everyone?” One house staff whispered to another while stealing furtive glances at the boss and his angelic wife walking hand in hand.
“Whether real or fake, at least, madam Ella has got her husband back.” The second house staff responded and went about his business.
After Leon and Ella were comfortably seated in the car, John excitedly drove out of the villa, leaving Austin wondering if his well-celebrated job had finally come to an end.
All through the drive to Leon’s office, Ella buried her head in her phone as she kept texting and communicating with someone that Leon suspected to be Denise.
.....
Even though Leon tried striking up a conversation with her, it felt as though there was a wall of brick between them. Ella neither smiled at his many compliments nor did she laugh at his poor jokes.
“Babe, are we back to the silent treatment again?” Leon asked as he moved closer to his wife, covering the little distance between them. He gently placed his hand on her exposed fresh and succulent porcelain thigh and started stroking it fondly.
“Dear husband,” Ella drawled while slowly meeting his intense gaze. “Do you intend to ruin my makeup and dress by having sex with me now, when we are almost close to your office?”
“Huh?” Leon stopped his caressing fingers that were already moving in between her thigh.
“Hold that awakened little monster of yours for a few more hours, will you? For now, try to keep your hands to yourself.” Ella took his hand that was still resting on her thigh and gently placed it on his.
“Whatever you say, my love.” Leon swallowed his saliva and tried his best to suffocate his enormous needs.
Leon’s thoughts were in disarray but his mind felt jinxed by all of his pretty wife’s wishes. He found himself nodding like a fool to all of her requests even when some of them bore an undertone of mockery.
Ella on the other hand was both impressed and irritated by Leon’s behavior.
On a normal day, Leon wouldn’t have stopped caressing her even if she resisted him. He would have electrified all her senses and cunningly dug his fingers into her core before she had time to react. They would have both been moaning and cursing out loud by now, from a spicy car romance.
However, watching him act like a good child, whose mummy had promised him lots of ice cream and cake if he behaved properly made her resentful towards him.
“Mr. & Mrs. Treshvire, we are here.” John happily announced. He quickly alighted from the car, walked over to the passenger side, and opened the door for his boss to step out.
Leon was the first to alight from the car. Then he stretched out his right hand towards Ella, like a devilishly charming gentleman, and said, “milady.”
“You’re so charming,” Ella smiled bewitchingly as she gracefully took his hand and stepped out of the car.
In her lovely red carpet standard dress, she looked like an ocean goddess, who had come to bless the Treshvire fashion complex with immense wealth.
As Leon and Ella walked hand in hand through the entrance to the magnificent Treshvire fashion complex, heads began to turn and eyes hopelessly gawked at the beautiful couple.
Although most people in Leon’s company hadn’t been privileged to meet or see the gorgeous wife of the CEO, the words of her presence in the company soon spread around like wildfire.
There were lots of unnecessary salutations and whispering as the couple walked towards Leon’s private elevator. Some of the many compliments directed towards Ella got Leon wondering if she planned to show off her baby bump with him by her side. Even though he was slightly angry at the many congratulatory remarks directed towards them, he was happy to see the heavenly smile on Ella’s face.
Alone and inside the elevator, Ella slowly turned to face him. She sensually wrapped her arms around Leon’s neck and planted a brief kiss on his lips.
“Thank you for honoring my first request.” Her eyes sparkled like a billion stars as she spoke. “Can you take me to your conference room, because I would like to see it for myself and compare it to mine?”
“There is nothing interesting to see in my conference room.” Leon softly kissed her forehead while wrapping his hand around her waist. “The only thing there are just some boring seats and a long oval table. How about we go to my office and I will treat you to something special.”
Ding!
The elevator door opened, forcing Leon to release Ella from his sensual hold.
“The conference room, don’t make me beg.” Ella plucked his nose and stepped out of the elevator.
“Okay!” Leon said reluctantly. “Anything for my sweetheart. But I hope after the conference room, we will be going straight to my office?”
“We will see about that,” Ella clicked her lips and winked at Leon.
“Hmm...” Leon felt heat rush up to his face as he watched his wife flaunt her temptress body from side to side.
“I don’t know what your mission is, babe, but I’m loving it,” Leon confessed out loud as he caught up with Ella and led the way toward the conference room.
“Good morning, sir. Good morning, ma’am,” a young professionally dressed lady, whose office shared the same room as the conference room entrance greeted politely.
“Thank you,” Ella smiled at the lady and urged Leon to go open the door while she adjusted her dress.
“Okay!” Leon nonchalantly walked over to the conference room door and pushed it open.
SURPRISE!
Happy birthday!
A lot of people shouted at the same time and started singing the happy birthday song.
??????
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you, Mr. Leon Treshvire,
Happy birthday to you
??????
Hip! Hip!! Hip!!! Hurray!
Standing in front of everyone were Lily, Charles, Denise, Tom, and Xia, with a host of the company staff.
Leon faces instantly turned red with anger and his expression darkened as he glared at the euphoric faces of everyone singing. He was more infuriated when he caught sight of Xia who was busy singing while blowing kisses to him.
“What the h...” Leon didn’t get to finish his statement as Ella came from behind and slipped her hand from his shoulder to his chest.
In slow motion should move in front of him for everyone to see her clearly and cupped his face in her hands.
“Surprise! Happy birthday, sweetheart.” Ella leaned closer and sealed his lips with a passionate kiss ignoring the bulging eyes, the noisy murmuring, and the happy cheers that engulfed the room.
Leon who had been dying to kiss his wife ever since he laid eyes on his this morning took full advantage of the welcoming kiss. He instinctively wrapped his hands around her and kiss her tenderly.
On purpose, Ella shamelessly allowed a couple of soft moans to escape her slightly parted lips as Leon’s tongue twisted and twirled with hers. She allowed him to ravish her lips with his intense longing while reeling at the effect it would have on her husband’s mistress.
While the kissing scene was ongoing, Xia almost passed out from both shock at seeing Leon’s beautiful wife and watching him throw all caution to the wind as he kissed her passionately in the presence of everyone.
“This can’t be happening! I must be hallucinating! Yes, it is definitely a horrible dream and I have to wake up.” Xia raised her trembling hands to face to shield her eyes from watching the excruciatingly painful display of passion happening before her.
Lily, who had been briefed by Denise to keep a close watch on Xia and prevent her from leaving the conference room, came to stand beside her.
“Miss Chu, are you alright?” Lily did her best to hide the hilarious glint in her eyes.
