Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Letitia jolted awake from her dream.

Blinking sleepily, she gazed at Elgin and mumbled, “What’s… what’s going on?”

She couldn’t remembe: she had done anything.

Did she accidentally wake him by talking in her sleep, or did she go sleepwalking?

Elgin’s face was getting darker by the second, and Letitia shrank back. “I told you I shouldn’t be crashing here. Sorry, I’m leaving right away”

She quickly bent down, scooped up her pillow and blanket, and made a beeline for the door

Little did she know that her tousled hair and just-woke-up vibe were irresistible allure to him

Before she could get far, Elgin yanked her into his embrace. “Are you playing the seductress all day to reel me in? Fine, I’ll play along!”

“I mph…”

Elgin’s lips came crashing down

Letitia was scared silly with her mouth unwittingly agape..

He sneered, “Oh are you that much eager, huh?”

It snapped Letitia back to reality, and she tried to clamp her lips shut. But Elgin pinched her chin so hard it made her wince, which seemed like an invitation to his kiss.

How could she be kissing Elgin? They were enemies!

“I wouldn’t touch you even if you stripped naked in front of me,” Elgin said icily, biting her lip so hard that it bled. “Letitia, you’re nothing but a toy to me. You disgust me!”

The blood trickled down, landing on the back of her hand.

Letitia didn’t understand his rage. All she could do was stand there with her head down, devoid of the right to resist

Elgin looked at her and felt even more irritated. “Get the hell out.”

After a few steps, she heard Elgin command, “Don’t wander far!”

As a result, Letitia slept right outside his bedroom door that night.

She didn’t dare sleep deeply, fearing she might tick Elgin off again, so she spent the night in a half-awake daze until dawn.

At around eight, Letitia heard footsteps inside. She immediately got up and stood at attention.

The door opened, and Elgin glanced at her.

“Morning, uh… Mr. Ramirez,” she quickly greeted

Seeing her looking as fresh as a daisy pissed him off even more because he didn’t catch a wink last night!

His voice was ice-cold. “A lowlife has a lowlife’s fate, suited only for sleeping by the door”

Letitia ventured. “So I’ll just bunk here from now on?”

“Of course!”

She breathed a sigh of relief. In her mind, sleeping outside was way better than under Elgin’s bed!

Seeing her relaxed expression made Elgin’s blood boil even more fiercely

Come to the office with me, he ordered, “Don’t even think about slacking off at home!”

“Understood

Chapter 6

After breakfast, Elgin got into his Rolls-Royce and zoomed off.

Letitia, on the other hand, walked to the Ramirez Group.

By the time she arrived, it was past ten in the morning. The CEO’s office was bustling but eerily quiet, strangely quiet.

“Ranen,” Letitia whispered, “Is there anything I can help with?”

Elgin would blow his top if he found out she was loafing around. She thought it was better to find some work to do.

In the whole company, only Ranen knew she was Mrs. Ramirez

“Uh… Mr. Ramirez hasn’t given any orders yet, Ranen said, glancing toward the office, “He’s like a bear with a sore head today and has already sent three directors packing. I think he didn’t sleep well. Or, maybe you could get him a black coffee”

“Alright.”

After a while, Letitia grabbed the coffee, sparking an idea.

She decided to purchase some herbal medicines and make some scented candles to aid his sleep.
