Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65

Elgin was heading to the car when he said, “Also, Samson will support your acting career, so don’t be too picky. If you tick him off, there is be no one to hold your hand through Hollywood!”

Shela let out a reluctant “Oh with a hint of discontent.

Just as she was feeling sorry for herself, Letitia breezed past her.

“Hey, what are you up to?” Shela grabbed Letitia. “Where do you think you’re going?”

“Headed home in the car, of course.”

“You, you..”

Letitia chuckled, “What’s with the ‘you, you? I’m Mrs. Ramirez, hitching a ride home with my hubby. That’s just how things roll, right?”

Shela was fuming mad again.

“Mrs. Ramirez, huh? When Mr. Ramirez was out there, soaked to the bone and freezing his butt off with a cold, where were you with all your tender loving care?”

Letitia was caught off-guard for half a second. Elgin was soaking wet? What’s up with that?

Seeing her expression, Shela ramped up her lecturing. “Look at you, you don’t even know. What’s the point of keeping a woman like you around?”

She was about to continue her rant when the car window rolled down, and Elgin’s cool voice interrupted, “Get in the car.”

Letitia did as told

As the car drove away, Shela stared after it, her anger not subsiding one bit.

If Letitia stays by Elgin’s side for much longer… who knows, they might grow affection.

Time to think of a new plan!

Inside the car.

Elgin was flipping through some documents, not even looking up.

Apart from the sound of pages turning, there was also his occasional coughing.

Letitia glanced at him a few times, then took the initiative to ask, “You got a cold?”

Elgin acted as if he didn’t hear her.

“Only been two days since I saw you,” she said, “and the weather’s been pretty good…”

“Shut it, you’re driving me nuts.”

She sat quietly.

Just managing to keep the baby from Elgin’s clutches was a stroke of luck. Letitia didn’t dare to provoke him further. He must have been shook by her determination to rather die than give in.

As the car was nearing Ivory Towers, Elgin asked, “What were you and Shela talking about just now?”

“Huh?”

His tone was impatient, “What, are you deaf or dumb?”

“What could Shela and I possibly talk about? We were arguing, of course. Letitia replied, “We’d hardly be friends, right?”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was off.

“Elgin, you wouldn’t be…” She eyed his profile, her expression hesitant.

Elgin turned to meet her gaze, “Spit it out.”

“Forget it. Wouldn’t want to make you mad

His mouth turned down a notch, “Not saying it will piss me off more.”

Letitia sighed, “Alright, I just thought… maybe you want me and Shela to get along? Wanting to keep us both by your side?”

Elgin cough got worse. After coughing, his voice was a bit hoarse, “You think you’re on the same level as Shela?”

Letitia bit her lip. Guess she was overthinking it.

She had this tiny feeling that Elgin might like her, but it seemed like it was just her wishful thinking.

liking come from? There’s nothing but hatred between them.

The moment Elgina tormenting seemed a tad gentler, she got this illusion… That’s bad.
