Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 42

Letitia was on the verge of biting her lip till it bled, “Got it.”

“Get lost.”

She turned and walked out

Elgin always had a way of sparking a glimmer of hope in her before plunging her deeper into the pits of despair.

She lied to her mom, saying she was doing great, working at Walden’s company and a high-paying job, spinning a beautiful web of lies

Her mom had just woken up from a long coma and hadn’t recovered. Knowing the truth about her situation would probably break her heart.

Elgin had too much dirt on her, too many weak spots.

Back at her desk, Letitia stared at the design drafts, her mind a blank slate.

She whipped up all sorts of jewelry designs for “Ramirez Romantica,” from necklaces to rings to bracelets, all smooth sailing, with inspiration through the roof.

Except for Shela’s wedding ring…

“What’s with the daydreaming? Vidonia slapped her shoulder, “lacking ideas?”

She glanced at the sketches on Letitia’s desk, her brows furrowing, “What the heck is this? Tacky and common, not al hint of elegance. It looks like something a person of no class would show off. This isn’t your style, Letitia!”

“It’s for Shela. Letitia replied, “She’s into this style.”

“No wonder…” Vidonia rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached heaven, “Do you think Elgin’s got something wrong with his eyesight? All these rich, pretty, and famous girls throw themselves at him, and he goes for Shela? She probably had her whole face done.”

“Guess it’s fate.”

Just as Samson returned from meeting a client, Vidonia quickly called out to him, “Mr. Stewart, do you know which eye clinic in AquaCity is the most renowned?”

“What’s up? You got an eye problem?”

“It’s not me, it’s for Elgin!”

Samson spread his hands, “What’s his blindness got to do with me? By the way, Letitia, I showed your designs to an overseas client, and they were over the moon. Keep up the good work.”

Letitia nodded, “Sure thing, Mr. Stewart.”

“With this trend, our Ramirez Romantica’ is gonna blow ‘Sunbeam Gems’ from the Sullivan Group out of the water this year!” Samson boasted, “Just some juicy gossip for you, Walden’s been having a rough time lately!”

Letitia’s heart skipped a beat, “What happened?”
