Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 28

Letitia finally Letitia understood Shela’s ulterior motive By having her dress, Shela could leave her with nothing to wear. No way Letitia could show her face at the event now; she could either hide in the bathroom or just leave.

She was already tucked away in a corner, minding her own business. Why couldn’t Shela just back off?

“Sorry, Ms. Ward” Letitia cracked a smile, sneering, “You’re kinda on the short side, and my size… it ain’t gonna fit you. That dress would be dragging on the floor on you,” Letitia shrugged, “Wish I could help you out, but you can’t pull it off.”

“You bitch

“Wipe it off, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll go to the restroom. I’ll wash it for you and blow it dry.”

Like Shela would go for that She was done talking. She just reached for Letitia’s dress, “You’re giving your dress to me, whether you like it or not!”

That pink dress was obviously a gift from Mr. Ramirez.

In Shela’s mindset, Letitia, having been in a madhouse, was a low-life and thus, undeserving of flaunting such an extravagant garment!!

“What the hell, Shela!”

“If you won’t take it off, guess I’ll have to lend a hand!”

In a public place like this, if Letitia got disheveled, it’d be a major face-plant. Where’s her pride supposed to go? Shela was playing dirty!

Right then, Vidonia stormed in and blocked Shela, “Whoa, whoa, what’s going on? You think you can just swipe her dress in broad daylight?”

With Vidonia pitching in, Shela was no match all by herself.

And Vidonia gave Shela a shove that nearly sent her stumbling.

“Who the hell are you!” Shela barked, “You dare to push me?”

“My name’s Vidonia!”

“I’m warning you, stay outta my way!”

Vidonia chuckled, “Well, I’m all up in it now, so what!”

She

put Letitia behind her, just like back in their school days when she’d step up if anyone bullied her.

“Letitia, you okay? Fix your dress, quick.”

Letitia quickly fixed her dress, clutching her chest, “I’m fine.”

“I was nearly too late, you’d have been humiliated!” Vidonia asked, “Who’s this?”

Letitia had to spill it, “She’s Elgin’s date.”

“No freakin’ way!”

Shela huffed, “Now you know who I am, right? Make yourself scarce if you know what’s good for you. I’m only after Letitia!”

“Pssh, feeling all high and mighty, mistress?” Vidonia rolled her eyes, “You’re not more than a whore!”

Shela was livid, “What did you say?!”

“Where did that attitude come from? It’s you who should be apologizing to Letitia.”

“Me, apologize to her? No chance!” Shela snapped, “Alright, Vidonia? Better hope our paths don’t cross again!”

Letto quickly interjected, “It’s not Vidonia’s problem Shela. This is between us

“Hey, it’s buzzing in here” That’s when Samson rocked up. “What’s going on?”

Vidonia, not in the best mood, replied. “Ran into a mad dog!” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Samson looked at Shela “Isn’t this Gin’s plus one? What’s got you so fired up? If there’s an issue with Vidonia, she’s under me Come to me

“And you are **

“Samson” he said, “Vice President of the Ramirez Group”

With Samson stepping in, Shela couldn’t throw her weight around anymore

“Mr. Stewart she switched to a polite face instantly. “Letitia stained my dress.”

“Where? Let me see

“Right here. huh?” Shela looked down to find nothing Whatever was there got rubbed off in the scuffle. It was just a smudge of cream, Shela was making a big deal out of it

“Are my eyes deceiving me? Samson spread his hands. “I don’t see it”

Vidonia chimed in, “Mr. Stewart, your eyes are just fine. It’s her heart that’s got problems!”

Shela was red with embarrassment

Why was Letitia always so lucky to have people helping her?

Grinding her teeth, Shela could only skulk away.

“Don’t go” said Samson, “Look, here comes Gin. Let’s get his fair say.”

Elgin had appeared out of nowhere.

Hands in his trouser pockets, tall and cool, his gaze icy as it swept over everyone

“Mr. Ramirez!” Seeing him, Shela rushed over, “You gotta help me.”

He simply said. “The auction’s about to start.”

“My dress”

“Tomorrow, I’ll have the manager send over all their latest collections to you”

Shela felt like she’d regained some face, grinning. “Thanks, Mr. Ramirez!”

She glared triumphantly at Letitia and strutted off on Elgin’s arm.

“You damn…” Vidonia looked ready to charge

“Vidonia,” Letitia shook her head, “Don’t.”

“Letitia, stop letting people walk all over you! You seem to have forgotten that you’re Mrs. Ramirez!!”

How could she allow a mistress to treat her like that? If this were Vidonia, she’d have made sure Shela got a good beaten!

“Earlier… thanks, Letitia said, “But next time, don’t be so rash. Shela holds grudges, she’ll come after you.”

Vidonia stomped, “Fine, my bad for helping you!”

She stormed off, and Samson called after her, “Hey, don’t get so worked up.”

“I’m not Vidonia crossed her arms. “Mr. Stewart, do me a favor, will ya?”

“There’s a fee.”

n trest you to a month of meals.

Santon nodded. “You got it?

Vidoria sad, wanna figure out what’s the big secret with stitia

‘Leave it

it to me.

“You sure you can handle it? Vidonia sounded skeptical “If you come up empty handed, you’re buying me dinner for a year!”

Samson was brimming with confidence, “I’m actually pretty curious myself about the whole Gin and Letitia thing. This gives me the perfect excuse to dig around and satisfy my curiosity”

Vidonia and he high-fived, “Deal!”

Just then, the lights at the venue started to dim, and all the spotlights were trained on the stage.

The auction was about to begin.

Thank you all for attending this charity auction, the host said. “The proceeds from tonight’s event will all go to help those in need. And now, let’s reveal our first item up for bidding.

As the cloth was whisked away, an emerald bracelet came into everyone’s view

It was absolutely stunning, shimmering and crystal clear.

Letitia murmured, “That’s my mother’s bracelet…”
