Chapter 51

“Does she deserve it?

Shela barely had time to feel relieved before she heard Elgin say, ‘She’s strapped for cash, and instead of hitting me up, she runs to Walden Sullivan…she loves him so much!”

“Letitia borrowed money from Walden?”

“Yeah to buy her mom some meds! Elgin clenched his fist and slammed it down on the coffee table before staggering to his feet.

Seeing his state, Shela thought she’d better assist him in getting to a hotel. Even if she has to play pretend and pass herself off as Letitia she’s got to fool Elgin!

She can’t wait any longer, opportunity’s knocking!

Shela got up, about to lend a hand to Elgin.

Out of nowhere, Samson, who had been off the radar for a bit, reappeared and blocked her path, “Whoa, whoa, what’s the rush?”

“No need to trouble yourself, I’ll take him home

Shela’s smile faded Samson was clearly at odds with her!

“Mr Stewart. I’m not just some random girl, I’m Mr. Ramirez’s

Samson cut her off, clearly out of patience, Alright, alright, step aside.”

He couldn’t stand the sight of Shela

Managing the affairs of “Ramirez Romantica” was enough of a headache, and now Elgin had him handling the film division too.

That division was all about Shela, dedicated to catering to her. It was just more work piling on his plate

And then there was the charity auction where Shela, claiming Letitia had stained her dress, tried to strip Letitia down then and there,
