270 Unsolicited And Provoking Messages

Going to bed with so many conflicting and antagonizing thoughts did more harm than good to Leon’s overworked brain. Hence, he started his day in a foul mood.

Just when he thoughts things wouldn’t get any worse for him, he received series of unsolicited and provoking calls from different locations.

The first unexpected call was from Anna Robinson, who after sending Leon a pitiful message, called and pleaded for him to grant her audience.

Feeling a bit sorry for her, Leon was forced to schedule an appointment with her before ending the call.

The second set of calls with common objectives was from three major stakeholders of the Treshvire empire, who by some unknown means had learned of Rex’s departure and were sending their condolences with instigating underlining statement.

Although Leon had been expecting that the news of his father’s death would become public knowledge in a matter of weeks or months, he didn’t expect it would be so soon.

He had initially planned on calling for a general meeting a week after his father’s death, to formally address the issue with the stakeholders. But due to the way, things were about to get out of hand, with some stakeholders complaining of being left in the dark, Leon was forced to schedule an emergency meeting, which meant he had to leave town for a day.

The third shortest but threatening call came from a sworn enemy that he had shown mercy because Maxwell asked him to. This enemy was Rodriguez Sacramento.

In the brief call, Rodriguez simply introduced himself and congratulated Leon on his journey to becoming a father, before ending the call.

Leon read the meaning of every word in Rodriguez’s statement and immediately initiated plans to double Ella’s security details. He also made some calls and activated all his spies, while he informed his lethal assassins to get ready in case a blood bath is required.

Leon also alerted Maxwell of Rodriguez’s call. Then he sent some shadow bodyguards to watch over his mum and sisters.

After setting a network of activities in motion, Leon left home for his office.

“Good morning, Mr. Leon,” came the sweet and pleasant voice of Lily as Leon walked into the outer chamber of his office.

“In my office, now!” Leon swiftly walked by, without acknowledging her greeting. His face was void of expression and his darkened eyes were filled with immense rage.

“Who could have offended the boss this morning?” Lily mumbled as she ran after Leon in her suede pencil high-heeled shoe which kept making an annoying click-clack sound.

Leon dropped his briefcase on the table and ran down his new schedule for the day to Lily, who was speedily scribbling everything down.

“Sir, does that mean I should clear your old schedule because you were supposed to meet with Clitino Brothers by 2:00 PM today?” Lily aired her concerns while trembling under Leon’s chilly gaze.

“Do you have a hearing problem?” Leon asked in a riled tone.

“No, Sir!” Lily replied with a feverish smile while avoiding Leon’s glares.

“Do you not know the difference between old and new?”

“I do, Sir,” Lily scratched her itchy palm while staring at the scribbled notepad in her hand. “It’s just that you specifically told me that whenever the Clitino Brothers show up, I should...”

“Lily, don’t tell me you’re too stupid not to read the writings on the wall.” Leon flared eyes widened as he glowered at her, making her forget what she was trying to say.

“Will get the hell out of this office and do as I have instructed.”

“I’m sorry, sir! Yes sir!”

Lily turned around to leave but remembered that she had not made Leon’s compulsory morning coffee.

So she turned again in the direction of the coffee mixer but Leon’s sudden terrifying outburst, asking her to get out of his office made her soul abandon her body while trying to escape Leon’s fury.

Just as Lily was about to shut Leon’s door, he dropped one final instruction.

“I don’t want to see anyone today except Mrs. Robinson before I leave for the airport,” Leon spoke between tightened jaw.

“Yes, sir,” Lily shut the door and breathed a sigh of relief before returning to her desk.

Lily had barely sat down when Xia strolled into Lily’s office looking elegant in her enticing V-neck-shaped black dress.

“Good morning, Miss Chu,” Lily smiled politely while admiring the delicate lady before her.

“Good morning, Lily,” Xia’s lips curved into a brief enchanting smile. “Has your boss resumed this morning?”

“Umm...y...yes!” Lily responded reluctantly. “But, he won’t be seeing anyone.”

“Nonsense!” Xia waved her hand in dismissal and emphatically stated: “call and inform him that I’m waiting outside his office, now.”

Lily stared at Xia in amazement while wondering what was giving her the boldness to assume the status of an untouchable supermodel.

Lily suppressed the urge to chuckle while she calmly explained to an inpatient Xia why calling Leon was going to be a bad idea.

“Can you please remind me of your job description again?” Xia asked in a condescending tone.

“I am the proud personal assistant and secretary to the renowned Leon Treshvire,” Lily said with every bit of pride.

“Good!” Xia face twisted into a frown. “Well, let me introduce myself properly to you since you were not privileged to join the meeting of the board of directors.”

“I know who you are ma’am. I was there the day you were introduced. I was the secretary who was busy taking...” Lily was interrupted by an inpatient Xia.

“Do not feed me with such irrelevant crap, and do not waste my time, young lady.” Xia flared eyes shot an invisible fiery dart at Lily. “All you have to do is pick up your intercom and call your boss. Inform him that a board member is here to see him on an urgent business matter.”

“Miss Chu, please, the boss has no plan of seeing anyone this morning. Although I’m not supposed to say this, he is in a foul mood. I do not want to attract his wrath by interrupting him,” Lily pleaded in a soothing tone. “How about you send him a text message and check back when...”

Lily quickly jumped out of her chair as Xia hissed and walked past her to Leon’s door.

“Miss Chu, you can’t go in there!” Lily almost tumbled on her heels as she ran after Xia, who seemed to be speed walking.

“Miss Chu!”

“Miss Chu...”
