Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50

The sports car zipped down the street before finally pulling up at a swanky bar.

Elgin stepped out, and the girls passing by couldn’t help but eye him with infatuation.

Tall, handsome, and loaded no wonder he turns heads every time!

“Mr. Ramirez, you’re here,” greeted the bar manager, coming out to meet him. “The usual spot?”

“Mhm, bring the drinks.”

“Right away, sir. Just one moment.”

Elgin strutted over to the booth just to notice Samson was there too.

He nudged him aside and plopped down.

“Look who’s here, Samson remarked. “You look pissed, man. Who owes you money?”

Elgin gave him a once-over, “Shut up, I’m not in the mood for jokes.”

“Ha-ha-ha! Let me guess, you’ve had another spat with Letitia?”

Elgin was silent.

“Couples’ tiffs, man. It will ease away soon, Samson clapped him on the shoulder. “Gotta be the bigger man, you know.” Elgin lowered his head. He was this close to being driven up the wall by Letitia. That woman is a nightmare!

Be a bigger man? She’s carrying another guy’s baby, and he’s supposed to just suck it up?

No way!

Elgin grabbed his beer and started chugging.

“Whoa, straight from the bottle, huh?” Samson applauded, clapping. “In all of AquaCity, only Letitia can get under your skin like that, right?”

“She’s got nothing to do with it!”

“She sure does. I’ve never seen you bat an eyelid, no matter how big a crisis Ramirez Group faces. But here you are, drowning your sorrows!”

The more Samson talked, the more Elgin seethed. If looks could kill, Samson would be dead a thousand times over.

“Gin, you know what it means when a man’s moods are swayed by a woman?”

“What?”

“It means you’ve fallen for her.”

Elgin’s long fingers paused on the bottle.

What? He fell for Letitia? Elgin scoffed, “You must be drunk.”

“Too shy to admit it, huh? Samson patted his shoulder. “Gin, it happens when you don’t notice. And when you realize it, it means you’re already head over heels.”

“What a load of bull.”

“It’s the truth. Think about it. Would any other woman get you this riled up? What about Shela Ward, could she?”

Elgin’s face darkened.

‘See? Samson said smugly. “Hit the nail on the head.”

Thank goodness beer bottles are made of glass, because if it were a can, Elgin would’ve crushed it by now!

Yes, he knew all about Shela’s doing, flaunting by his name and strutting around town, but he simply didn’t care

Even when Shela and Mark played sick to con him, he was just mad at the moment and didn’t take it to heart afterward.

He didn’t want to pick a fight; he just started feeling disgusted and distant towards Shela.

But Letitia? She could get under his skin with just one word! And she’d stick in his mind, lingering there nonstop!

“Come on, man. It’s normal to love a woman at your age,” Samson said. “If you love her, treat her right. Get a hold of her and don’t wait until she’s gone to regret it.”

“Love? Do you even know who Letitia is?”

“I do. The beef between you two is old news, from the previous generation. She’s innocent, and you’re a victim too.”

Elgin replied, “I can’t possibly love her, even if she were the last woman on earth.” Then he stopped talking and just kept on drinking silently, until he was totally wasted.

“Hey, bro, maybe you should stop drinking… If you get drunk, I’ll have to drag you home!”
