After Divorce, Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant-Chapter 169 Jamil Vanadas.

The sound of Leonica’s palm making contact with the supposed stranger’s left cheek was what drew every single person present out of the haze they had been put in after witnessing what he had just done.

Staggering a few steps back due to the impact, he covered his stinging cheek, while Leonica spat on the floor, going the extra mile to wipe her lips to show how much his act disgusted her.

"I don’t know who you are, but you should have at least known better than to do something like that, especially with someone like me. Don’t you think that’s a bit reckless?"

Jaxson swallowed thickly, not knowing what was happening as the other three people in the room stared at the CEO with shock in their eyes.

"Florence?" Leonica called, catching the other female off guard. "Is your boss crazy?"

Florence remained silent at the question, not because she was too afraid to answer, but rather because even she didn’t know the answer to the question.

I mean, who kisses someone they just met out of nowhere? Love at first sight aside, only a mad man would kiss a lady to jog her memory.

Wait a minute, Florence thought, narrowing her eyes, what did her boss mean by jogging Leonica’s memory?

Had these two met before?

Leonica sighed, and turned to the male. "You, what’s your name?"

He flashed her a small smile and answered. "Jamil Vanadas."

The name rolled effortlessly off his tongue that to the others present, it meant nothing, but to Leonica, who was currently trying her best to keep her expression neutral, it meant everything.

She knew him.

Who wouldn’t recognize the face of their high school bully. The one person who, along with his goons, had nearly made life a living hell, despite all the authority and riches she had thanks to her family name.

"You," She began, pointing at Jaxson and Florence. "And you, get out." She ordered, earning a look of confusion from the two.

"Excuse me?"

"Get out." She repeated. "Unless you want to stay and watch as your boss makes a fool of himself."

The stranger, Jamil, as he was now known as, chuckled and turned towards his two employees. "Leave." He commanded.

When Florence and Jaxson, Florence especially, showed signs of hesitation, the smile on his lips completely disappeared. "Stay if you want the first thing you see tomorrow morning to be lay off letter."

Hearing this, they didn’t dare utter a single word and quickly left, leaving Jamil and Leonica alone in the office.

"What the hell are you doing here, Vanadas?" Leonica asked as she crossed her arms, eyes never leaving the man in front of her.

“Wow,” He laughed. “You still hate me, don’t you.”

“Of course, I do. What type of question is that?” She retorted.

Jamil chuckled, finding her retort funny. “Oh, come on. Are you still mad about the past? You’re holding a grudge against me.”

“I have a right to. Now, tell me what you want or might as well walk your ass out my door.”

“My, aren’t we impatient,” He muttered, earning an eye roll from the woman. “Alright, alright. I came here because I’m interested in forming a partnership with you.”

“No shit Sherlock.” Leonica sassed. Of course she knew that, she had read the meeting briefing.

God, now that she thinks about it, perhaps she should have declined this damn meeting.

“Tell me the real reason Vanadas.”

Jamil sighed. “Fine,” He said, stepping forward. “I’ll cut straight to the chase. I want you.”

“You...” Leonica’s expression looked stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly busted out laughing. “You want me?”

“I want what we had-“ And that was enough to wipe the smile off Leonica’s lips as she abruptly interrupted him.

“Shut up.” Her expression darkened, and she narrowed her eyes, not caring about how Jamil had flinched. “Now listen here, partnership or whatever you call it, I don’t care and I most definitely don’t want it, so you can take your proposal and shove it down your damn throat. Get out.”

Jamil remained silent as Leonica spoke, but he did manage to give her a small smile before saying. “That’s the answer I expected to hear. But,” He took a step forward, closing the distance in a way Leonica didn’t like but she stood her ground. “Do you think you can reject me that easily, Leonica?” She frowned. “I had my way back in high school, and I have it now. I want you, and I will do anything, and I mean anything, to have you. Even if that means destroying you.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Leonica mumbled as her eyes narrowed. “Do you seriously believe you have a chance, Jamil? I was a fool in high school, I gave you a chance, not this time around. So, take your lackeys and your damn self and get the fuck out of my office, before I call security.”

“Tch,” Jamil clicked his tongue. “You haven’t changed a bit, haven’t you. You’re still stubborn and you haven’t gotten rid of your pride. But that’s not a problem,” He leaned forward, his lips a few inches away from hers, but she didn’t push him away.

She simply stared at him, waiting for him to continue.

“I want you that way. And I’ll get you, just you wait.” With that, he turned around and headed for the door, but it opened before his hand could even touch the handle and Owen walked in.

He paused when he saw Jamil, but unlike Leonica, he recognized the male in seconds and he wasn’t in the slightest bit pleased to see Jamil.

Thinking that he might have yet another rival, couple with the fact that Jamil Vanadas, was the tanned skin pretty boy Leonica had dated back in high school, wasn’t setting well with the blonde male.
