Chapter 78

*Mrs. Ramirez was getting more difficult by the day,” Ranen pondered.

Letitia was sure as hell Elgin wouldn’t come to her.

How could such a big shot as the CEO of the Ramirez Group come to see a little-known designer like her in person? Unless he was seeking to create niore scandalous headlines about himself!

Ranen had no choice but to bail, wondering how he could break the news to Mr. Ramirez in the gentlest way possible.

Right after Ranen left, Letitia got up, heading to the company’s entrance to pick up her delivery.

She’d just grabbed her package when she turned around to see Phedra getting out of an SUV, dressed to the nines like some fancy lady.

Letitia shielded her face with the parcel, not wanting to bump into Phedra.

“Stop hiding. I’m here specifically for you,” Phedra called out to her. “Letitia, you must be some big deal. You have me coming to see you in person.”

Letitia stopped dead in her tracks, wondering what Phedra was up to.

“Something the matter?” she asked, her tone ice cold.

Phedra approached her saying. I’m your mother-in-law, after all. I only want to check on you. Wouldn’t want people saying I ignored your pregnancy.”

Letitia’s guard went up instantly. She couldn’t take anything about the child lightly.

She shielded her belly. “I can take care of myself. Thanks. No need for your concern.”

“Come on. I’m the baby’s grandma, Phedra said with a smile. “I’ve booked you a comprehensive prenatal examination at the hospital. Let’s go right now.

Saying so, she reached out to grab Letitia.

Letitia dodged. Thanks, but no. I’m busy”

She had no idea what Phedra was planning. In no way would she fall for Phedra’s trap. Once at the hospital, with everything set up by Phedra, she’d be helpless, shouting for help to no avail. That’d be a real danger!

“Hey, Letitia, don’t bite the hand that feeds you,” Phedra’s smile vanished instantly. “I’m trying to help, not harm you!”
