Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 147

Lutted her teeth and said, “If I kill you I’m signing my own death warrant. Who in their night mind would

make such a losing

deal?”

He curled his lip with a smirk. “Teisty little wildcat, aren’t you?”

Kneeling on the ground, Odetta cautiously asked, “Mr. Ramirez, I’m off to work. This is all small fry

stuff, I don’t hold a grudge against Letitia Don’t waste your precious time on this.”

“Work?” Elgin raised an eyebrow, “As of now you’re fired”

“What?”

“Pack your stuff and hit the road”

Odetta felt like she’d been struck by lightning, totally blindsided by the sudden job loss! The Ramirez

Group is the top company of AquaCity, a dream workplace for many offering a fat paycheck! And just

like that she’s been kicked out!

Right at that moment, Ranen came back with the coffee, “Mr. Ramirez, here you go

The steaming hot coffee was billowing with heat

Elgin took it and handed it to Letitia, “Hold this”

“What for?”

Elgin said, “Pour it on her”

Letitia was stunned, and Odetta scrambled back even more, “No, no ”

“Isn’t that a bit much?” Letitia said, “That’s like kicking someone when they’re down.”

Sure, Odetta had always been a thorn in her side, making trouble for her, but Elgin had already given

her the sack. That punishment was enough.

“She messed with you Elgin said, “She had it coming.”

“But

“I’m teaching you how to really put the screws on someone” Elgin forcefully put the coffee in her hand,

“Letitia, every ounce of mercy you show others is a pound of cruelty to yourself. If she ever gets a

chance to mess with you again, she won’t be half as nice or hold back”

Plus, Elgin was sending a message to the Ramirez Group employees about Letitia’s status.

Anyone daring to mess with her from now on would be crossing him and end up just like Odetta

Letitia held the coffee, feeling the heat even through the cup

“Pour it Elgin commanded. But Letitia didn’t move.

Odetta had backed into a corner, eyes wide with terror, “Don’t come any closer”

Elgin pressed, “Letitia, make it quick”

She gripped the coffee, still hesitating, when suddenly Elgin’s body pressed against her back.

He wrapped his arms around her from behind, his hands over hers, and flung the coffee onto Odetta.

“Ahhh-” Odetta let out a blood-curdling scream.

Letitia frowned but remained silent.

“She’s not a first-timer,” Elgin said, “Last time she framed you for stealing a ring, this time she stripped

you in public. What about next time? Letitia, you gotta be swift, accurate, and ruthless to nip things in

the bud ”

Letitia looked down, “You’re right. But do you remember, at the charity auction, when Shela claimed I

dirtied her dress and tried to strip me? What about that?”

His lips thinned. Letitia turned to him, “Why don’t you eliminate Shela as a future problem?”

“She’s different”

“Right” Letitia nodded, “After all, she’s someone you once had feelings for”

Elgin frowned, “I never had feelings for Shela.”

“But, she was your woman, Letitia stated.

Eyn went stent. That night, he had indeed been intimate with Shela

Chapter

A sharp pang hit Letitia’s heart, like a needle prick. She pulled away from Elgin’s embrace and turned

to leave.

Elgin watched her retreating figure, his expression gradually turning dark as he swept a cold glance

over the surrounding people.

The employees quickly dispersed to their desks, not daring to look up.

“Have security drag her out.” Elgin ordered, “and blacklist her.”

“Yes, Mr. Ramirez.”

Now, in the eyes of the company staff, Elgin and Letitia’s relationship was as good as confirmed.

They were definitely an item!

In the break room, whispers spread

“That Letitia’s got some moves.”

“Yeah, yeah, does Mrs. Ramirez know?”

“I heard Mrs. Ramirez is all sweet and delicate. Last time Mr. Ramirez had a call during a meeting, lots

of people heard it.”

“With a guy like Mr. Ramirez, who wouldn’t want to throw themselves at him!”

“Shh, shh, shh, here they come.”

Vidonia and Letitia walked into the break room together.

Seeing them, the others quickly left as if nothing had happened.

“They must be gossiping about you,” Vidonia fumed, “What’s Elgin thinking, farnishing your reputation

like that?”

“Let it be ”

“Pfft, he should just come out and say you’re Mrs. Ramirez What’s with all this secrecy?”

Letitia shook her head. “I don’t want it out in the open.”

Her and Elgin, it was doomed from the start, no need for the world to know.

Today Letitia wasn’t staying late. As soon as the clock struck the hour, she packed up and left

Stepping out of the office, she heard someone calling her, “Ms. Sanders, Ms. Sanders!”

A man dressed like a chauffeur approached quickly, “Mr. Thompson wants to meet you.”

“Neil?”

“Yes, he’s at the coffee shop across the street”

Letitia looked up and spotted Neil sitting by the window of the coffee shop, clearly visible.

Neil was always a stand-up guy, and he’d helped her before. She had no reason to snub him.

Plus, it was such an open and aboveboard spot.

“Okay”

Letitia walked over to the coffee shop and took a seat across from Neil.

“It’s been a while,” Neil said, looking at her, “You seem to have lost weight”

Letitia smiled, “I have slimmed down a bit.”

“Busy with work, or.. morning sickness from the pregnancy making you lose your appetite?”

Letitia’s smile froze on her face. The child she lost was an eternal ache in her heart

“I had a miscarnage, Letitia said, “Couldn’t keep the baby”

Neil was taken aback, “What?”

“It’s my fault, I couldn’t protect him. Mr. Thompson, But I want to thank you for your past help, you

saved that child once. I’ll never forget that kindness.”

Neil let out a sigh, “That’s a real shame. Hang in there, alright?”

New had a soft spot for the kid since he’d saved him once before.

Letitia was stirring her coffee, head down, thinking, “Girl, you really shouldn’t get knocked up when

you’re down and out. It’s bad enough screwing over yourself, but dragging a kid into it? The little one

could’ve had a shot at experiencing this crazy, colorful world”

“Would it be too forward if I asked who the father is?”

Lenba gave a bitter twist of her lips.

Chapter 147

Neil ventured, ‘Is it… Mr. Ramirez?”

Letitia shook her head, “It’s not him”

Neil was taken aback. Elgin and Letitia were together, yet the kid wasn’t Elgin’s?

“The truth is, I don’t even know who the dad is, Letitia looked up into Neil’s eyes, “Mr. Thompson, my

past is a hot mess, full of ugliness. No need to dirty your ears with it.”
