302 A Middleman
Denise’s eyes widened like a saucer and her mouth fell ajar as she scrolled through some nude pictures of a defeated Xia.
“Wow! Did you rip her clothes off her body?” Denise asked in bewilderment.
“No! I politely asked her to take them off and she did,” Ella said while grinning slyly making Denise laugh her heart out.
“You are so funny sweetheart and patient if I may add. If I were in your shoes, I would dig my nails into her skin like this...” Denise animatedly displayed her thoughts, thereby striking a chord of laughter from Ella. “...and shred her clothes from her body like a hungry tigress.”
“I know what you can do mama bear!” Ella gave Denise two thumbs up.
“Thank you, darling! But it is you that deserves all the accolades. So, bravo, cupcake! Stupendous! Excellente!” Denise shook Ella’s right hand proudly. “You did an awesome job dealing with that brat. I couldn’t have expected anything less from a Treshvire. In her remaining worthless life, she would never mess around a married man.”
“Exactly!” Ella hissed. “The tramp won’t forget me in a hurry. I made sure of that. If not for Leon’s involvement in the whole affair, I would have uploaded these pictures on social media. But, I wouldn’t want the world to know that my husband cheated on me with the slut.” She said thoughtfully. “I don’t intend to damage his public reputation. The only this I’m going to hit hard is his ego. I am going to rub his ego in the mud and smear it all over his face.”
“That’s my gal talking!” Denise sang excitedly.
“By the way, do you have an idea where the tramp is right now?” Denise asked while instructing! Paul to get the dining room set for a celebration feast.
.....
“I want to believe that she’s on her way out of the city.” Ella’s nose crinkled as a memory of Xia’s pleading face crossed her mind. “I gave Leon the ultimatum to fire her and end his business relationship with her family,” Ella said proudly.
“Do you think he would honor your request?” Denise’s tone bore a hint of doubt. “You know it might be difficult to let go of a profitable business and from the little, I know about Leon, he doesn’t joke with business.”
“Well, I didn’t give him any choice but to reconsider my request. Also, he gave me his word that he would comply with my request. Although, I will still make my enquires to ensure that she is gone.”
“That’s great! Right now, you need to change that temptress gown of yours to something cozier” Denise slowly rose to her feet.
“Hmm...” Ella smirked as a sweet memory flashed through her mind You needed to see the way Leon was shamelessly gawking at me this morning. If not for the hospital incident, that sex maniac was ready to devour me earlier this morning.”
“Who could blame him? The young man was spellbound and hooked to you like bees to nectar. But the climax of the birthday surprise was when you came into the conference room looking like a goddess. I counted about thirteen no, fifteen men drooling over you. Then when the kissing started...oh my gosh, you needed to see the number of men licking their lips. Even Tom started nudging me for a hopeful kiss.” Denise’s dramatized speech struck different chords of laughter in Ella.
Ella laughed so hard that she started coughing after a while.
“Time for you to be pampered.” Denise walked across to Ella and pulled her to her feet. “First I want you to soak yourself in sweet-scented lukewarm water in the bathtub. Next, I will give you a relaxing body massage. Afterward, we will have ourselves a treat to a sumptuous feast.”
“Oh Denise, you make me blush at times.” Ella’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she spoke. “It makes me wonder what life would be like if you were a guy.”
“Hmm...” Denise beamed. “Don’t just go there. If I were a guy, we won’t be standing here talking by now. These clothes wouldn’t even be on your body. We would be rocking this whole living room, making our third baby because we would have been married five years ago.”
“Third baby!” Ella went hysterical with laughter. “Oh, mama bear, you are something out of this world.”
“Upstairs, to the bathroom!” Denise softly pulled Ella by the arm.

At about a few minutes past 4:00 PM, Leon met up with Tom at Dove restaurant.
“Bro, what the hell went wrong?” Tom asked angrily.
He didn’t allow Leon to settle down on his seat before he started tongue-lashing him.
“What were you thinking messing around with someone who isn’t as beautiful as your wife? Why do you want to ruin a perfect marriage?”
“Tom, calm down and let me speak,” Leon pleaded.
All day, he had locked himself in the office and buried his frustration in work and more work, all in the bid to forget about his depression. At first, everything was working out well until Tom’s call came in.
“I find it hard to believe what my fiancee told me but thinking of Ella’s unconsciousness now, I finally realize the bitter truth behind her pains. You deserve a punch in the face, man,” Tom glared.
“Tom, please, I need at least one person to speak in my favor. I’ve passed through hell with Ella and I don’t know what awaits me back at home. Please, don’t shred me like your fiancee. I know what I did is bad but I can still make amends.”
Tom heaved a sigh of frustration as he considered his best friend’s nightmare. Even though he felt sorry for Leon, he still felt strongly that Leon needed to be taught a good lesson for his wayward lifestyle.
“Because of you, I’ve not had enough time with my fiancee,” Tom lamented. “She keeps taking care of your wife as though she was her husband.”
“That’s exactly why I needed us to talk,” Leon interjected. “My wife listens to your fiancee and I have this unwavering feeling that if I go through her, Ella would listen to my pleas.”
“Bro, if I understand you correctly, you want me to talk to Denise on your behalf like a middleman?”
“Yes!”
Leon’s reply made Tom roar with laughter.
