Leo opened the door of the car and was about to pick her up. When Ella told him that she will do it on her own.
"She is so stubborn," Leo mumbled to himself.
Ella tried to stand on her feet but she lost her balance and was catched by Leo who again pulled her in his arms. Her face was again red due to embarrassment and entered into the apartment building.
DING DONG
"Who is it," jenny asked
"It's me Ella open the door"
Hearing Ella's voice she opened the door but was shocked to see Ella in Leo's arms.
He then put her down so that she could sit on the couch. He put her bag on the table. He removed her shoes and socks. He covered her with a blanket that was placed on the couch.
What happened Ella? Jenny asked in a worried tone.
"It's nothing serious"
She then looked at Leo and asked;
What happened to her?
The soup spilled on her feet and was burned. But don't worry I had already applied some ointment on the burned area, he said while adjusting the blanket.
"Thank God nothing much happened after all your engagement is on this Sunday."
"Engagement," Ella mumbled the word to herself. Yes I am going to be officially his fiance on this Sunday.
"Where is the medicine box," Leo asked while pouring water in the glass.
"It is on the left shelf,"
Leo gave Ella painkiller with a glass of water.
"Jenny I am leaving her with you take care of her,"
"Ok let me see you off Jenny," said and went towards the door to see him off.
Leaving Ella to her apartment he went towards Davies mansion, as he had to deal with her mother. After all what happened in the afternoon was not an accident it was planned. And the planner was none other then his mother. He saw everything when his mother made Leila their maid fall. But he remained silent.
"Mom what was that all?"
"What do you mean Leo and how dare you to talk with me in loud voice.?"
"I am sorry mom but why you did that to Ella?"
"You are blaming your mother for that ordinary girl!" Freya Davies fumed with anger.
"Mom whether she is an ordinary girl or not but she is going to become Mrs.Davies Leo told calmly."
"I am not against your marriage, I just want a girl who can match your status."
"Mom i don't want to marry anyone else I just want her.
Saying this Leo left her mother in the living room and went upstairs.
Leo entered into his room, placed his coat on the bed, took his clothes and went into the bathroom to get a shower to soothe his nerves.
When he came out of the bathroom he saw Daniel and Erica sitting on the sofa.
"What are you both doing here,"
"What are you doing brother," Erica asked with one eyebrow raised.
"I just took a shower,"
"What was all that you did when Ella's feet were burned?" Daniel asked sarcastically.
"What have I done?" Leo asked like he doesn't know what they are talking about "Didn't you have a date today?"
"Oh! I had a date today thanks for reminding bro,"Daniel smiled and was about to leave when he said.
"Bro I think you are going to lose"
"Lose what?" Leo asked
"Nothing you guys carry on"
"And you too leave I has some work to do"
Leo told Erica to leave his room and opened the door for her to leave.
"I am leaving brother, what's the hurry?" Erica replied while placing the cushion which she was holding. She stopped in the middle of the room and the door.
"Is your important work is related to sis Ella"
Hearing this sentence Leo dragged her out of the room and closed the door.
"Nonsense" He muttered.
He then sat on the bed, opened his laptop and opened his mail. But his mind was a mess he couldn't help but think about Ella.
"Don't think Leo, Don't think" he reminded himself but he couldn't focus. He decided to sleep so that he couldn't think about her.
Jenny crossed her arms and looked at Ella with her eyebrows raised.
"What?"Ella asked pretending not to know what she wanted to say.
"What was all that,"finally jenny spoke
"What do you mean by that"
Jenny sat on the side of the bed and closed her laptop on which she was making her assignment.
"Ok fine what you want to hear".
"What happened there," she asked with a smirk
"Today was the worse day I ever had"
"Why didn't you go there for lunch with your mother-in-law?"
"I don't know Ella,"told with pout
"I don't know how to put this but Leo is different every day. Sometimes he is caring, sometimes he is angry, sometimes expressionless, sometimes he is the most annoying person," Ella explained in just one breath.
"Wow you noted that much," Jenny asked with curiosity.
"It's been only a week since we met but everyday is a mess". Ella explained I don't know what to say.
"So do you like him or not,"she asked to which Ella replied.
"I don't know whether I like him or not"
"In my opinion you should think with a clear mind and then decide."
"But it doesn't matter now I don't have any choice". Ella replied and opened her laptop again.
"And if you had the choice then"
Hearing Jenny's last words Ella stopped what she was doing and looked at Jenny who was about to leave.
"See you are hesitating". Jenny said while pointing towards her face. "Anyway good night I am going to have my beauty sleep."
Ella was left alone in her with her thoughts. She was confused about Leo again. All she was thinking if she really had the choice what she would had chosen. Her mind was a whole mess.
"Luna, what's the schedule for today? Do I have any meetings? asked Leo while jogging in the park covered in sweat. "Yes, sir you have two meetings Luna continued, one with the Ceo of the REGIUS company to sign the contract for the upcoming fashion show at 12:00 pm", "And the other one?" "The other one is with Miss Samantha, the manager of Miss Aria". "I totally forgot about that. Did you contact her?" "Yes sir I already contacted her and they agreed to meet in the Italian restaurant at 11:00 am". "Send Daniel to attend the meeting with Miss Samantha and I will deal with the other one," Leo said while sitting on the bench. "Ok I will do as you said Luna told him. Do you need anything else sir?" "For now there is nothing else you go and do your work," Leo said and hung up. He then wiped his sweat with the towel when his phone started to ring again. Ring! Ring! "What's the matter Daniel?" Leo asked while gulping water from the bottle. "I am on leave and I can't go to the meet
"Do you think Leo will come?" Aria asked Samantha over the phone."Of course his secretary told me that he would arrive in a any minute.""That's good then. By the way, how am I looking?" Aria asked while showing her herself into the video call. she was wearing a neckline cutout white blouse tucked in a taupe high waist pants. And her hairs tied in a neat bun. She did a nude make up."Absolutely stunning.""Ok now I am hanging up because I think Leo arrived." She told with a smile."Ok ok" Said Samantha with a smirk.The door opens only to reveal Daniel. All her happiness drowned in a deep sea of silence. She couldn't speak for a minute."Should we start the meeting?'' Daniel asked while taking the seat in front of her.The only thing which came out of her mouth at that Time was;"What are you doing here? Where is Leo?""He had something important to do so that's why I have to attend this meeting,'' Daniel informed her.He knew that she must be upset after all she was still in love wi
Miss Ella, wants to talk with you Mr.Leo."Leo smiled when he heard that she came here to talk with him."Send her to my office,'' He added a few minutes later."Is your chick here to talk with you," His brother Daniel Davies asked him with curiosity. "Does this have to do with that proposal you asked for yesterday?""Apparently, she is not a chick, she is a lion," Leo chuckled while he took a gulp of his latte."Leo Davies, I want to talk with you in private", Ella fumed while crossing her arms."Daniel and Luna, you two leave and let me talk with my wife in private", Leo asserted with a smirk."I am not your wife".
Nice to see you again Mr Davies" the employer said formally after greeting him. "We booked the usual room for you". Nora will guide you. "Thank you Nova," Leo answered and followed the waitress. "Looks like you have been here with many girls," Ella sarcastically added. Everyone here knows you very well. Leo chuckled on her statement. He pulled the chair for her like a gentleman. When they sat, the waitress gave them the menu. "Order what you want to eat," Leo told her while giving her the menu to choose. "Stir fried beef and Green peppers, crispy chili beef with fried rice, '' Ella added while placing the order. "Add
The sun bright light was falling on her face which made her wake up. She sat up on her bed, stretched her both arms and was about to get up from the bed, when a notification popped up on her screen showing the sender ID. It was a message from Leo saying that "meet me at my office".To which Ella replied," Like I will obey you".She placed her mobile on her bedside table and went to the bathroom to get a shower to clear her mind. Jenny was also awake at that time and was making breakfast for both of them.After taking a shower to soothe her nerves. She stood in front of the mirror, made a high ponytail, and applied some light lipstick on her soft lips. She took her phone and went towards the kitchen where Jenny was placing the breakfast on the table."Good morning Jenny" Ella greeted her and sat on the chair in front of Jenny."Today you are in a good mood," Jenny said with a smirk."No I am always like this," Ella said while pouring so
