256 A Beautiful Pitch

After a sumptuous breakfast, Ella and Denise both left the villa for work. They were driven by John and closely escorted by Ella’s three bodyguards in a different car.

On their way to Ella’s company, Denise showed Ella some of the pictures she took of her.

“See, I posted about five different poses of your current outfit online about thirty minutes ago and so far, it has gotten over thirty thousand likes and more than five thousand comments,” Denise said beaming with pride.

“Wow!” Ella’s eyes sparkled as she read some of the heartwarming comments.

Majority of the comments were from fans, pregnant women, and aspiring mothers. While others were from male admirers; who were seeking a chance to get to know her.

“As a bonus, I tagged your husband,” Denise said with a mischievous glint in the corner of her eyes.

“Denise!” Ella chuckled.

“What!” Denise pouted animatedly. “I want him to see that you are not lying on the bed sulking like he would have hoped. I want him to see that you’re in high spirits and you are about to storm the city with your cuteness overload. In fact, after work today, you and I are going shopping!”

“Yeah!” Ella did a little victory dance. “You know I miss when it was just two of us with no men between us.”

.....

“Exactly!” Denise’s smiling face contoured a little.

“Men with their never-ending issues. Life is a little bit less complicated without them. However, If they are not present in a woman’s life, it becomes boring as hell. They are a necessary evil that female folks can’t do without. one minute they’re all loving, sweet, tender, and juicy.”

Denise’s mind flashed to her ex and her eyes darkened as she spoke.

“But the next minute, they are ripping your heart out without empathy. If it’s not their almighty male ego on the line, then it’s their testosterone spike that makes them act foolish and aggressive sometimes.”

“That’s true!” Ella concord. “Sometimes, I secretly wish I wasn’t in a relationship. But other times, I’m grateful for being in one.

“Enough of the male talk, it’s too depressing. Let’s talk about more juicy things like the idea that just popped into my head.”

The spark returned to Denise’s eyes as she spoke.

“Ooh! Tell me about it!” Ella’s eyes widened in excitement.

“How about we create a fashion line for pregnant women using your pregnancy as our inspiration?” Denise said in an excited voice.

“Umm... I don’t know about that! Leon might just develop a cardiac arrest if I choose to announce my pregnancy to the world by going through with such a fashion show.” Ella said in an anxious tone.

“Come on Ella, it is a great idea. This is not about Leon or what he feels. This is about you making a bold statement about your pregnancy. We won’t be dragging your husband’s name in the mud. Instead, the Treshvire name will gain more popularity and more businesses.” Denise said convincingly.

“Hmm... That’s true!” Ella nodded her head slightly.

“I know, right!” Denise beamed. “There a lot of pregnant women out there suffering different forms of rejection like yourself. They are yearning to be heard but they don’t know how to come out of their shell. You will be giving them hope and a voice by giving this clothing line a trial.”

“Wow! I can imagine their pain right now! Ella’s forehead furrowed.

“That’s not all! Denise was happy that Ella was beginning to key into her idea.

“There are many pregnant women out there who feel like the proverbial ugly duckling and hide in oversize baggy clothes fished out of their husband’s wardrobe.”

“Hahaha!” Ella roared in laughter at Denise’s statement.

Denise also chuckled at her statement before continuing with her speech.

“Do you know how many homes we will be saving by ensuring that pregnant women look fabulous for their husbands? I don’t mean to scare you but, are you aware that some shameless men sort for younger girls whenever their wives get pregnant.”

“Seriously!” Ella’s eyes shone in bewilderment.

“Yes! I have been privileged to see some of these men and even interact with them. Don’t forget my ex was one of them.” Denise scoffed at the thought of her ex.

“If Leon ever slept with another woman because of my pregnancy, I will make sure I make his life a living hell,” Ella swore under her breath.

“What if he does?” Denise asked Ella in a challenging tone. “Would you leave him for the girl and deny your children the opportunity to be with their father.”

“No, I made a promise that I will never leave him or even cheat on him with another man. Leon remains my man till the end,” Ella said reassuringly. “However, I will make him regret ever sharing his body which belongs to only me with a stranger.”

“That’s more like it!” Denise clasped her hands together joyfully.

“Just out of curiosity, why would a man want to cheat on his pregnant wife?” Ella asked.

“For a lot of reasons my dear.” Denise dramatically cleared her throat, making Ella chuckle.

“When you ask most men the reason why they cheated on their pregnant wives, the majority of their answers are always the same. She is fat! She no longer dresses attractive! She has weird morning routines! I can take her out with my friends because the expensive dress I bought for her doesn’t fit. I am no longer attracted to her! She can no longer satisfy me sexually!”

“Wow!” Ella blew out forced air. “That’s a lot to take in!”

“I know right!” Denise grimaced slightly. “That’s why we need to create this fashion line. All we have to do is design something unique and out of the world. Something that makes pregnant women feel comfortable yet sexy and fabulous. Something they can wear for different occasions. Something elegant, sleekier, and sexier to show off their baby bump just like the one you are adorned in.”

“We have limited fashion brands that deal in maternity fabulous outfits. If you give this a trial, we would storm the fashion and retail market with a big bang. The profit will be unimaginable.”

“Oh Denise, this is a beautiful pitch. I can already imagine walking down the runway as a pregnant model/CEO.” Ella gestured dramatically, with Denise cheering her on.

“Ma’am, we have arrived,” John said politely, interrupting the two best friends’ happy moments.

“Bubble buster!” Denise hissed in John’s direction and stepped out of the car, without waiting for John to open the door for them.

Just as Ella was about to alight from the car, her phone beeped. So, she sat back and hastily went through the message when she saw that Leon was the sender.

[Leon: Ella, what the hell is wrong with you? Why would you post pictures of your pregnant self and put them on social media? I have been receiving stupid calls and messages all morning. When I said you could do whatever you like with your pregnancy, I never meant going public with it. Take down those pictures, now!]
