Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 48

“Me, like her? As if!” Samson waved dismissively. “You gotta be joking me!”

Just as he spoke, Vidonia pushed the door open, “What joke?”

Hearing it, Samson’s voice vanished into thin air.

“Who are you gossiping about? Vidonia asked with a curious look on her face. “You’re not keeping secrets and juicy gossip from me, are you?”

Letitia struggled to hold back a giggle.

“No, no, no,” Samson gestured with his hands. “Our Designer Sanders here thought she got overpaid and came to check

with me about it.”

“Oh, right, Letitia, you’ve got to treat us now that you’ve got your paycheck!”

Letitia nodded her head, “Sure, I’ll treat. What do you guys want for lunch? It’s on me.”

Samson was her career’s lucky star, and Vidonia was her best friend. Without their help and support, she wouldn’t have been able to do the job she was good at and loved.

“I guess it’s only fair to have you spoiling me with a lavish meal then,” Vidonia said, her eyes sparkling with mischief, “I want steak! The kind that costs top dollar per person at those swanky places!”

Letitia agreed to it.

However, Vidonia was just teasing. After enjoying their high-end steak meal, when Letitia went to settle the bill, she found out it had already been paid.

That’s what true friends are like. Letitia felt a warm glow in her heart.

After lunch, she went back to the company and headed for the CEO’s office.

“Ranen,” she asked, “is Mr. Ramirez in?”

“Mr. Ramirez should be napping around this time, ma’am. Would you like to go in?”

“I wouldn’t want to disturb him.

“I’m just guessing though, Ranen added, “Mr. Ramirez’s sleep hasn’t been great. If it’s urgent, you can go in.”

After a moment’s thought, Letitia gently pushed the door open and walked in.
