Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Never one to miss a chance to belittle Letitia, Shela tossed out a derogatory comment and then slyly checked Elgin’s reaction. The look on his face suggested that Letitia and the gentleman she was with were more than just passing acquaintances.

Elgin looked away and walked past Letitia into the venue without giving her another glance.

“Letitia,” Walden began, “How can he show up with another woman and leave you out here?”

“It’s my business, not yours.”

“No! I’m going to confront him!

“Walden!” Letitia grabbed him, “Don’t make a scene! I’m fine, let’s just go inside.”

Walden couldn’t believe her, “Letitia, how can you stand Elgin doing this to you?”

She smiled, “I’ve got no right to be angry, so there’s nothing to tolerate”

Walden looked at her with pity

“Alright,” she said, “Don’t offend Elgin on my account; it won’t do you any favors.”

To make Walden give up, she added, “And it won’t move me either.”

Elgin was already sensitive about her past with Walden, and now, with her as the head designer at the Ramirez Group Jewelry Department and Walden as the general manager of the Sullivan Group Sunbeam Gems, they were competitors! Inside the venue, everyone was sipping champagne, laughter filled the room.

Letitia found a corner and focused on the desserts on the table.

Elgin was the center of attention, surrounded by people eager to suck up to him.

“Mr. Ramirez, is this Mrs. Ramirez?” someone inquired.

Elgin didn’t bother to clarify. Shela wasn’t yet, but she might be in the future

“The title isn’t that important, Shela responded, “what matters is that I’m the one by Elgin’s side right now.”

The savvy crowd got the hint. So, this woman wasn’t Mrs. Ramirez, but her status was even higher, able to be his plus-one at the event! So they began to flatter Shela-

“Ms. Ward, you look so amazing today!”

“You’re a perfect match with Mr. Ramirez.”

“Ms. Ward, you should join our ladies’ gatherings more often.”
