296 Feeling Generous
Leon felt his heart leap out of his chest when Ella made mention of Xia’s name. The coldness in her voice and the way she abruptly ended the call instantly told him that there was fire on the mountain.
Throwing all cautions to the wind, and even offending some high net-worth clients, Leon abruptly stood up and speedily adjourned the meeting.
Before storming out of the room, he hastily asked Lily to reschedule the same meeting for the following day.
As he was speed walking to Xia’s office, so many nerve-wracking questions kept popping and taunting his peace of mind.
‘What was Ella doing in Xia’s office? Why was she sounding so harsh and cold when she spoke to him? What special gift was she planning on giving him before Xia? Did Xia say anything about their affair?’ Leon found it difficult to pull the plug on his spiraling thoughts.
When he got to the entrance to Xia’s office, he observed the Xia secretary was busy working as though nothing was amiss.
However, this did not put his mind at ease, being a man who knew the secret of the underworld. Instead, it made him tenser because most evil schemes were usually carried out in quiet environments.
“Good morning, Mr. Treshvire.” The secretary quickly shot up to her feet and greeted Leon when he came close to her table.
“Is your boss in the office?” Leon ignored her greeting as he slowly walked past her table.
.....
“Yes Sir, she has a v...” the secretary didn’t get to finish her statement when Leon left her talking to herself and entered Xia’s office.
Immediately Leon stormed into the office, the sight before he alarmed and crippled his heart. Seeing the backside of Xia’s nudity, while having the knowledge of Ella’s presence in the same office was both appalling and threatening.
“Xia! What is the meaning of this?” Leon boomed fiercely. He hadn’t gotten the opportunity to see her badly bruised face or his wife pointing a gun at her when he drew his first wrong assumption.
In Leon’s horrified thought, Xia was trying to blackmail him before his wife, and this angered the soul out of his body.
Leon was just a few inches close to Xia when Ella’s calm but chilly voice stopped him cold on his track.
“Welcome to the real party, dear husband. I hope you love your birthday gift?”
“Babe!” Leon slowly turned to face Ella and was dumbfounded to see her pointing a gun at Xia.
“Cut the crap, Leon. There is no need to ‘babe’ me anymore.” Ella spoke rather calmly, making Leon wonder if she was playing or being serious.
“Let’s just stick to my first name for the time being, shall we? Standing before you is your pretty mistress waiting to be devoured.” Ella gestured mockingly at Xia. “She complained bitterly that you took off her bra and panty the last time but forgot to perform the main action.”
“What?” Leon’s eyes widened like a saucer as he glared at Xia, who continued to avoid his gaze.
“Don’t pretend to be surprised, husband, it doesn’t suit you!” Ella scoffed at him.
“I’m feeling very generous today, so I will allow you to complete your unfinished business with your whore of a mistress. As you can see, I took the liberty to have her ready for you. I don’t want you fumbling with her tight-fitting clothes. All you have to do is just take off your pant and stick your loose cannon into her rotten cunt. Also, I have already taken a few snapshots of what she looks like now and I would take another when you are done with her. Bon appetit.”
“Sweetheart, I don’t...”
Bang!
Like a gunslinger on the ready, Ella swiftly removed the safety of her gun and released a close-range shot. The bullet narrowly missed Xia’s arm by an inch and hit a picture frame on the wall.
The close proximity of the flying bullet and the loud sound generated from its release made Xia screech in terror. She was so terrified that she accidentally peed on the bare floor while holding her chest as if she had been shot.
“Get rid of the pet names and address me by my first name, you shameless bastard!” Ella said between gritted teeth.
She slowly inhaled and exhaled to push out the tension enveloping her before meeting Leon’s horrified gaze.
“Don’t tempt me, dear husband, you know I don’t miss. Let this serve as a warning to you. The next time you flaunt my instruction, you’ll be forced to watch your mistress bleed.” Ella stressed her last word with so much bitterness.

Outside Xia’s office, Her secretary jumped out of her seat and took cover under her desk when she heard the gunshot.
In the secretary panic activated mind, she swiftly alerted the security guards, telling them that a crazy intruder was in Miss Chu’s office and has taken the CEO and Miss Chu hostage.
Instantly, both internal and external security swung into action as they hastily moved down to Xia’s office, ready to take out the intruder.

Back inside the office, Ella gently placed her gun on the table and leaned her back on the soft couch. She slowly crossed her legs revealing a good portion of her fresh and tempting porcelain skin, while holding Leon’s pleading gaze.
“So what is it going to be, husband? Are you going to f**k your mistress in my presence or would you rather I shoot her in the head for daring to sleep with my husband?”
“Ella, please! I know you are angry right now but this is not the right way to go about this.” Leon said firmly as he sought a way to approach his dangerously calm wife.
He was both intrigued and bewildered at the way Ella had managed to set him up in such an awkward position. The fact that he never predicted her intelligent move got him wondering what other of his secret life she knew about.
“You think you know how I feel? Do you think you’re in a position to tell me what is right from what is wrong? I...”
The sound of some people trying to break into Xia’s office interrupted Ella but Leon instinctively moved toward the door and opened it.
