Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85

He’s even more charismatic in person than in his photos, basking in the sunlight with a signing pen in hand, the button on his cuff catching the light.

He’s got that kind of handsome that’s gentle yet untouchable.

“Mr. Thompson, people from the Ramirez Group Jewelry Department are here,” his secretary reminded him.

He looked up. “Please, have a seat

Odetta flashed a coy smile, greeting, “Mr. Thompson, I’ve heard so much about you, it’s been quite a challenge to get a moment with you”

Odetta tried to make her voice sound sweet, which was enough to give Letitia the creeps.

She quickly coughed twice, trying to send Odetta a signal.

But Odetta blatantly ignored her, striding forward to shake hands with Neil.

Nell slightly frowned but still shook her hand out of politeness.

Odetta clung to his hand, unwilling to let go. “Mr. Thompson, we almost sealed the deal last time. Today, I’ve brought the contract signed by Mr. Ramirez, it just needs your signature to finalize everything.”

Letitia watched, barely able to suppress her cringe. Clearly, Odetta was the one trying to climb the social ladder, yet she had the

cheek to warn Letitia earlier.

“Hmm,” Neil subtly withdrew his hand.

Letitia couldn’t bear to watch anymore and promptly presented the documents, Mr. Thompson, here’s the contract for your

review”

Neil gave Letitia an appreciative glance, nodded, and returned to his seat..

Odetta, glaring at Letitia, muttered under her breath, “Why do you have to meddle?”

“Ms. Odetta, you represent the image of the Ramirez Group,” Letitia replied, “Please, restrain yourself, so as not to make a bad impression on Mr. Thompson.

“I’m the boss here, not you!!

Letitia just shrugged.

Neil signed the contract and looked up at Letitia, Are you new here? It’s my first time seeing you

“Yes, I’ve been with the Ramirez Group for a month”

“To land a job at the Ramirez Group, you’ve got to have the chops, Neil said. “Did you handle the design for this season’s Ramirez

Romantica collection?

Letitia nodded, “Yes, I’m the head designer for Ramirez Romantica, Letitia Sanders”

“Letitia,” Neil mulled over her name with a slight smile, “Nice name, I like it

Everyone likes a compliment, and Letitia smiled back. Thanks, Mr. Thompson. I’ve brought the designs, you can take a look now, and I can answer any questions you might have”

“Sounds good.”

Odetta watched the scene, jealousy barely contained on her face. She had met Mr. Thompson several times, always initiating contact, but he never seemed to notice her

And here was Letitia, hitting it off with Mr. Thompson on her very first visit… What a vixen!

No wonder even Mr. Ramirez was rumored to be involved with Letitia!

As Letitia approached Neil, Odetta hatched a plan, seemingly unbothered, yet discreetly stuck out her foot….

Letitia didn’t notice and barely took a step before stumbling over something, her body uncontrollably falling towards the ground. Everything in her hands went flying

She let out a startled cry as the ground loomed closer

serious, she was on the brink of a fatt, and with her being pregnant, she could not afford such a risk! It could end up in a

She had worked so hard to protect this child, enduring more than one could imagine. She couldn’t lose the baby over a fall.

Despair filled her heart. Was this fate’s cruel joke?

Just when she was about to fall on the floor, a pair of hands reached out in time, encircling her waist, strong and steady, lifting

her up
