Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Letitia finally Letitia understood Shela’s ulterior motive By having her dress, Shela could leave her with nothing to wear. No way Letitia could show her face at the event now; she could either hide in the bathroom or just leave.

She was already tucked away in a corner, minding her own business. Why couldn’t Shela just back off?

“Sorry, Ms. Ward” Letitia cracked a smile, sneering, “You’re kinda on the short side, and my size… it ain’t gonna fit you. That dress would be dragging on the floor on you,” Letitia shrugged, “Wish I could help you out, but you can’t pull it off.”

“You bitch

“Wipe it off, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll go to the restroom. I’ll wash it for you and blow it dry.”

Like Shela would go for that She was done talking. She just reached for Letitia’s dress, “You’re giving your dress to me, whether you like it or not!”

That pink dress was obviously a gift from Mr. Ramirez.

In Shela’s mindset, Letitia, having been in a madhouse, was a low-life and thus, undeserving of flaunting such an extravagant garment!!

“What the hell, Shela!”

“If you won’t take it off, guess I’ll have to lend a hand!”

In a public place like this, if Letitia got disheveled, it’d be a major face-plant. Where’s her pride supposed to go? Shela was playing dirty!

Right then, Vidonia stormed in and blocked Shela, “Whoa, whoa, what’s going on? You think you can just swipe her dress in broad daylight?”

With Vidonia pitching in, Shela was no match all by herself.

And Vidonia gave Shela a shove that nearly sent her stumbling.

“Who the hell are you!” Shela barked, “You dare to push me?”

“My name’s Vidonia!”

“I’m warning you, stay outta my way!”

Vidonia chuckled, “Well, I’m all up in it now, so what!”

She

put Letitia behind her, just like back in their school days when she’d step up if anyone bullied her.

“Letitia, you okay? Fix your dress, quick.”

Letitia quickly fixed her dress, clutching her chest, “I’m fine.”

“I was nearly too late, you’d have been humiliated!” Vidonia asked, “Who’s this?”

Letitia had to spill it, “She’s Elgin’s date.”

“No freakin’ way!”

Shela huffed, “Now you know who I am, right? Make yourself scarce if you know what’s good for you. I’m only after Letitia!”

“Pssh, feeling all high and mighty, mistress?” Vidonia rolled her eyes, “You’re not more than a whore!”

Shela was livid, “What did you say?!”

“Where did that attitude come from? It’s you who should be apologizing to Letitia.”

“Me, apologize to her? No chance!” Shela snapped, “Alright, Vidonia? Better hope our paths don’t cross again!”

Letto quickly interjected, “It’s not Vidonia’s problem Shela. This is between us

“Hey, it’s buzzing in here” That’s when Samson rocked up. “What’s going on?”

Vidonia, not in the best mood, replied. “Ran into a mad dog!”

Samson looked at Shela “Isn’t this Gin’s plus one? What’s got you so fired up? If there’s an issue with Vidonia, she’s under me Come to me

“And you are **

“Samson” he said, “Vice President of the Ramirez Group”

With Samson stepping in, Shela couldn’t throw her weight around anymore

“Mr. Stewart she switched to a polite face instantly. “Letitia stained my dress.”

Vidonia stomped, “Fine, my bad for helping you!”

She stormed off, and Samson called after her, “Hey, don’t get so worked up.”

“I’m not Vidonia crossed her arms. “Mr. Stewart, do me a favor, will ya?”

“There’s a fee.”

Santon nodded. “You got it?

Vidoria sad, wanna figure out what’s the big secret with stitia

‘Leave it

it to me.

“You sure you can handle it? Vidonia sounded skeptical “If you come up empty handed, you’re buying me dinner for a year!”

Samson was brimming with confidence, “I’m actually pretty curious myself about the whole Gin and Letitia thing. This gives me the perfect excuse to dig around and satisfy my curiosity”

Vidonia and he high-fived, “Deal!”

Just then, the lights at the venue started to dim, and all the spotlights were trained on the stage.

The auction was about to begin.

Thank you all for attending this charity auction, the host said. “The proceeds from tonight’s event will all go to help those in need. And now, let’s reveal our first item up for bidding.

As the cloth was whisked away, an emerald bracelet came into everyone’s view

It was absolutely stunning, shimmering and crystal clear.

Letitia murmured, “That’s my mother’s bracelet…”
