A STOLEN KISS FROM THE CEO! - Season 3 Episode 100

Earlier, after Xia Chu narrowly escaped being shot by Ella, she ran out of her office looking like a crazy person seeking redemption. Her brain and body were numb with both pain and the trauma of experiencing Leon’s insane wife.

She was oblivious to her disoriented state, as she sought out for anyone to console and protect her.

Her eyes were red and swollen from excessive crying. Her throat was patched and itchy from temporal dehydration. The bruises inflicted on her face by Ella’s assaultive slaps and the single blow on her forehead, were a sight for sore eyes. Not to mention her slightly bleeding thigh and her aching butt.

Xia found it difficult to believe that just a night of pleasure was capable of turning her world upside down.

If someone had told her that the beautiful, fragile, and harmless wife of Leon was capable of single-handedly inflicting so much pain on a rival, she would have called that person a fibber.

However, in her current state, she now understood and appreciated the saying that, ‘hell has no fury like a woman scorned.’

While Xia was looking around her current deserted environment for someone to help her, she ran into the head security guard Leon had previously spoken to.

“Miss Chu, is that you?” The head security guard questioned in bewilderment. “What happened to your face and why are you dressed like…” He found it embarrassing to let her know that she was improperly dressed.

Xia followed the security guard’s gaze to her chest and discovered that she had mistakingly left her bra back at her office.

…..

“Not again!” Xia hissed as she pulled the front edge of her suit jacket together in mortification. Her eyes instantly locked with those of the security head guard and she regretted bumping into him.

In the frenzy of dressing up, she forgot to strap on her bra. All she wore was her see-through lace camisole. Then she threw her jacket over her body without buttoning it up.

Hence, seeing the surprised look and the undeniable spark in the security guard’s eyes got Xia both embarrassed and disgusted.

“G…get me out of this p…place!” Xia stuttered in a slightly raised tone.

“Okay,” the security guard pointed towards an elevator. He was tempted to ask her if she got into a fistfight with a powerful opponent. However, the horrified look in her eyes and her constantly looking over her shoulder gave him the answer he sought.

“Miss Chu, if you don’t mind, I’ll advise you to go into one of the ladies and clean yourself up. It wouldn’t be nice for people to see you this way.”

“Okay, but you have to stand watch by the door.” Xia pleaded as though someone was after her life.

“Okay, ma’am,” the head guard replied politely as he escorted her to one of the deserted ladies’ rooms.

“Can you please also send me a female security guard? I would need someone to assist me with some female stuff.”

“Certainly, ma’am, I would do just that.” The security guard left and did as Xia had instructed.

Leon stood on the spot for a while as he watched Ella’s car slowly reverse and drive off. When he was certain Ella had left his company premises, he slowly brought out his phone and made a series of calls.

Afterward, he trudged back to his office and waited patiently for Xia to be brought to him.

Unable to force his badly depressed and weakened mind to think or act, he leaned back on his seat and shut his eyes.

It didn’t take long before his intercom rang, with Lily informing him that Xia was outside his office.

“Send her in,” Leon said curtly and dropped the phone back on the receiver.

When Xia finally entered his office, slightly trembling with anger and hurt, Leon stood up and walked up to meet her.

He placed his two hands on her quivering shoulders and stared intensely into her twitching eyes.

The sight of her bandaged face and the pain in her eyes made him feel both resentful and empathetic toward her.

Even though he wanted to blame his current heartache on Xia, he knew he was eighty percent at fault.

“Xia, I’m sorry for everything that happened back at your office. I’m sorry for the emotional and physical pain you feel right now. If I could go back in time, I would ensure we never crossed paths.”

“What!” Xia’s eyes flared in anger. Her heart was just warming up to his tender touch and his apology before his last statement turned everything sour.

“You wished we never crossed paths?”

Xia freed herself from his hold and glared at him.

Being privileged to see the subtler side of Leon when he was earlier kneeling and begging for his wife’s forgiveness, Xia thought she could bend him to her will. So she wrongly assumed that she could call him to order and make him feel bad for the way Ella had abused her.

Unfortunately, she didn’t get to even scratch the surface when Leon unleashed his fury on her.

“How dare you, Leon? How dare you say those hurtful words to me? Do you know how much pain I feel right now due to all the injuries inflicted on me by your lunatic of a w…”

Smack! Smack!

Xia didn’t get to finish her statement when another fiercer wave of pain stung either side of her cheeks. This made her shriek in pain as she fell to her knees and buried her face in her hands.

“Are you crazy? Do you have a death wish or something?” Leon’s eyes suddenly darkened as Xia’s wrong choice of words slowly awakened the sleeping monster in him. “How dare you call my wife names? Do you think you’re worth anything to me? Do you think I care if you live or die right now?”

Putting a restrain on his emotions, Leon left Xia weeping on the floor and strolled towards his floor-to-ceiling window.

“Listen attentively if you wish to live,” Leon said between tightened jaws while backing her. “I have called your father and spoken to him at length. As we speak, the contract binding your family business to my company is been dissolved, with a proper settlement. Hence you no longer work for this company.”

“No!” Xia cried harder at the thought of returning home to meet her father empty-handed.

“Your father is a reasonable man and has sent his private jet to come over and take you back home. My men would take you to the airport and ensure you leave this city, today.”

As Leon was speaking, a secret door in his office opened up and three men dressed in dark suits and dark shade walked in.

“Take her away,” Leon said coldly without sparing her one last glance.
