Chapter 50

The sports car zipped down the street before finally pulling up at a swanky bar.

Elgin stepped out, and the girls passing by couldn’t help but eye him with infatuation.

Tall, handsome, and loaded no wonder he turns heads every time!

“Mr. Ramirez, you’re here,” greeted the bar manager, coming out to meet him. “The usual spot?”

“Mhm, bring the drinks.”

“Right away, sir. Just one moment.”

Elgin strutted over to the booth just to notice Samson was there too.

He nudged him aside and plopped down.

“Look who’s here, Samson remarked. “You look pissed, man. Who owes you money?”

Elgin gave him a once-over, “Shut up, I’m not in the mood for jokes.”

“Ha-ha-ha! Let me guess, you’ve had another spat with Letitia?”

Elgin was silent.

“Couples’ tiffs, man. It will ease away soon, Samson clapped him on the shoulder. “Gotta be the bigger man, you know.” Elgin lowered his head. He was this close to being driven up the wall by Letitia. That woman is a nightmare!

Be a bigger man? She’s carrying another guy’s baby, and he’s supposed to just suck it up?

No way!

Elgin grabbed his beer and started chugging.

“Whoa, straight from the bottle, huh?” Samson applauded, clapping. “In all of AquaCity, only Letitia can get under your skin like that, right?”

“She’s got nothing to do with it!”

“She sure does. I’ve never seen you bat an eyelid, no matter how big a crisis Ramirez Group faces. But here you are, drowning your sorrows!”

The more Samson talked, the more Elgin seethed. If looks could kill, Samson would be dead a thousand times over.

“Gin, you know what it means when a man’s moods are swayed by a woman?”

“What?”
