Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 86

Besides, it was a close call with Neil catching her. If anything had happened to the kid, she would’ve

never let Odetta off the hook! Odetta was clenching her teeth in frustration She hated Letitia even more

now.

Alright. Letitia thinks she’s so great? She’s just made an enemy for life! Since so many guys are into

her, fine, she’ll just go cry to Mr. Ramirez and see how Letitia deals with that!

With her mind made up, Odetta beelined it for the CEO’s office.

Standing in front of Elgin, she spiced up the story as she retold it-

“Boss, Letitia Sanders nearly messed everything up. I took her to meet Mr Thompson to give her a leg

up, to mentor her, but she actually flirted with him! How can we keep an employee like that? And to top

it off. Mr. Thompson gave her his business card when we were leaving

If you ask me, it won’t be long before Letitia’s got Mr. Thompson on the hook. Today she wasn’t just

batting her eyelashes, she was all over him, pretending to fall into his arms!”

Elgin, lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed, listened with a nonchalant air.

Seeing Mr. Ramirez’s lack of reaction, Odetta started to doubt herself. Had she not painted Letitia slutty

enough?

Just as Odetta was about to add more to her tale, Elgin waved his hand dismissively, “Get out.”

“Mr. Ramirez, I swear I’m telling the truth.”

Elgin suddenly stood up. I said get out! Scram!”

His anger was too much for Odetta to handle, and she left the CEO’s office in a hot mess

Elgin’s chest heaved, and a vein pulsed at his temple.

Letitia’s allure was seriously impressing him!

Sure enough, with Walden out of the country, she couldn’t stand being alone. Upon seeing Neil, she

latched on to him right away!

Elgin kicked over a chair and stormed out of the office.

Dusk fell

Letitia had to work late until 8 p.m. because her meeting with Neil had set her back.

Everything went smoothly, with no interruptions

Back at Ivory Towers, as soon as she stepped into the living room, Elgin’s voice cut through, Come

here.

She set down her bag and walked over to him.

He tilted his chin up. The thing in your pocket, take it out.”

1.

“Take it out!”

No choice but to comply. Letitia took out Neil’s business card.

Elgin snatched it and flung it in her face, “Are you that desperate for men?

Letitia had a hunch about what was going on, Odetta must’ve ratted her out to Elgin.

“I was just doing my job,” she said. “Mr. Thompson appreciated my work, that’s all. I haven’t even

saved his number in my phone, and I don’t plan to

She knew exactly what status Neil was in

She was pregnant and held tight in Elgin’s dark grip, with no chance of getting close to a guy like Neil

Letitio knew her place.

“Why did Neil only give you his card?” Elgin shot back. “Because you’ve got charm, because you’re

good at hooking men?”

rip, “Can’t you be reasonable?”

“whatever look on her face

After all, che was clean, nothing to hide, while Elgin was just… being dramatic Yeah, the guy was being

a drama queen! And she couldn’t even defend herself!

Seeing Letitia acting like this. Elgin got even angrier. He said darkly. “Letitia, you’ve got to pay the price

for your actions!”

“Just spit it out, how do you want to torment me?”

Letitia knew that after last night, Elgin would only be more ruthless with her than ever before.

“Kneel” Elgin squinted, ‘until you admit your mistake”

She didn’t move

“Do I need to help you bend your knees? Huh?”

Letitia looked at him. “I thought not hitting women is your bottom line?”

Elgin snorted and forcefully nudged her knees! In pain, she fell to her knees with a thud.

“Know your place compared to Neil,” Elgin said. “Plus, Neil’s got a girlfriend, he’s not gonna give you a

second look.”

Letitia, stubborn to the core, retorted. “I’m not Shela. I don’t go around homewrecking”

“She’s my woman.”

“So she’s the homewrecker

Elgin bent down, lifting her chin, “Go ahead, use your Mrs. Ramirez title to pressure her. But Letitia,

once we’re divorced, if I keep you, you’ll be the other woman too. becoming the very thing you

despise!”

Letitia gritted her teeth. “You’re shameless!”

Elgin’s grip tightened

“Shameless” she still spat out, her jaw nearly dislocated, but she had to say it to feel better.

“Kneel for an extra hour Elgin dropped this line and walked away.

“Are you jealous?! Letitia called after his retreating figure. “Elgin, are you jealous because Neil and I hit

it off right away?”

He’d said before that she was the one who got jealous. Turns out, he could get green-eyed tool

Elgin didn’t look back, “Neil is out of your league; I’m just punishing you.”

Jealous? As if! That was one emotion he’d never feel!

The living room fell silent, save for the ticking of the clock

After serving her time, Letitia’s legs were numb when she stood up, and she had to rub them for ages

on the couch.

She’d never go to Neil; a man of such refinement and stature was worlds apart from her. But since Neil

had personally promised to help, she’d try reaching out if needed.

At least she had one more option, one more path.

Letitia hoped she’d never be so down on her luck to need it.

In the master bedroom

As Letitia pushed the door open, Elgin stepped out of the bathroom

Casually wrapped in a towel, his muscular upper body glistening with water droplets.

“Ah. Letitia let out a yelp, turning her face away.

Why on earth can’t this guy just throw on some pajamas after his shower like a normal person!

“Who you trying to fool? It’s not like you haven’t seen it all before, Elgin said, cool as a cucumber. And

it’s not like you haven’t touched it.”

“You, you…” she stammered, her cheeks flaming beyond her control

Letitia was shy, innocent, with nothing but that one night experience

ow could he just blurt out that kind of stuff without batting an eye?

shy? Elgin snorted. “If you knew anything about shame, you wouldn’t have gotten knocked up with a

bastard

ther? Why isn’t he manning up and taking responsibility?”

Leuta fell silent.

She would never forget that night for as long as she lived, nor the promise “I’ll marry you.”
