Chapter 53

The butler responded calmly, “Ms Ward, you gotta make it happen before you talk like this.”

Shela was about to lose her cool when the door swung open, and Elgin stepped out.

“Tell the hospital to keep a close eye on Malinda, and don’t let Letitia anywhere near!” he ordered. “If anyone screws up, you’re in for it!”

“Mr. Ramirez, about the medicine…”

“Don’t give it to her!”

The butler shook his head with a tinge of regret. It was so close! Damn Shela, if she had shown up just a few minutes later, Malinda would have gotten her meds for the month!

Shela was smirking with satisfaction, ‘See, you want to help Letitia? Not gonna happen!”

Shela’s mood was sky-high.

Elgin, with a stormy expression on his face, headed to the office.

The moment Ranen saw him, he thought, “Oh crap. Mr. Ramirez looked enraged, so he’d better not provoke him today.

Sure enough, Ranen’s hunch was spot on.

In the CEO’s office, the execs were coming and going, each one getting chewed out royally.

Elgin held his fifth teacup, the former ones had been smashed to smithereens.

“Ranen,” a secretary asked, “What’s got Mr. Ramirez so fired up today?”

“I’m clueless, he’s been like this since he got in.”

“We all better tread lightly today”

Ranen nodded, “Just do your job, and get someone to clean up the broken teacups

“Got it, Ranen”

At the Ramirez Group, everyone was nervous.

Mr. Ramirez lashed out at the execs, the execs at the managers, the managers at the staff…

Letitia listened to her colleagues gossip about Elgin, eyes cast down.

He had the power, his mood swings had everyone walking on eggshells. And her? Even with cash in hand, she couldn’t buy her mom’s meds.
