Chapter 118

Shela zoned out for a while, then finally resorted to crying a river to Elgin, “Mr. Ramirez, I-I messed up… Please forgive me, I swear! won’t make the same mistake again, pleasel”

Too bad, her tears didn’t do squat with Elgin. He wasn’t buying that act.

Shela had cried too many times and he was sick of it

“Shela, I’ve turned a blind eye to your shenanigans before, let you run wild. But you crossed the line, big time”

“Mr. Ramirez, no, please don’t kick me out.”

“Haven’t I been good enough to you?” he asked, “You dare fake your miscarriage today, who knows what crazy thing you’ll do next time!” Shela shook her head frantically, saying, “I won’t dare, I really won’t ever again. Mr. Ramirez, do you remember when you found me, you said you’d been looking for me for so long.”

Elgin’s face was unreadable, “If I didn’t have a heart, you wouldn’t be standing here crying your eyes out!”

Either way, Shela was down and out for the count this time, wouldn’t dare cause trouble anytime soon.
