Chapter 72
Letitia couldn’t even bear to nce at the design
In the CEO’s office, handing over the sketch to Elgin, she said, “I have a… tiny favor to ask.”
Elgin didn’t even look up, “Go ahead.”
“Can we maybe not go around bragging that I’m the brain behind this ring’s design?”
Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
She was senously worried it would trash her reputation in the jewelry design world!
Elgin eyed the sketch in his hands.
For real. It was a prettyckluster design, all sh and no elegance, not a whiff of that high-end luxury
vibe
Letitia quickly rified. These are all Sh’s ideas and she oversees the whole thing. It’s all her taste,
not a reflection of my skills.”
“But, this sketch came from your hand.”
“Anyone could’ve drawn it.”
Elgin raised an eyebrow, “You’re this reluctant to admit you designed the wedding ring?”
“It’s simply not my taste.” Letitia said politely, “Mr. Ramirez, you could give this promo opportunity to
some other designers, I really don’t need it.”
This ring was going to be publicized for “Ramirez Romantica”. Because it was pricey and could ride the
wave of Elgin’s fame.
He was a golden boy in the AquaCity, with more influence than a superstar.
“This chance is yours. Elgin said in a in tone, ‘no turning it down.”
Letitia replied in exasperation, “Why bother… just to spite me?”
As Mrs Ramirez, she had to design an engagement ring for a mistress and even take charge of the
promotion.
It was rubbing salt in her wounds.
“Get started, Elginmanded, “use the finest gems and the purest diamonds to craft this ring.”
Letitia replied, “Sure.”
She bit back the urge to roll her eyes and grabbed the sketch, heading out.
Just then, Samson barged in with a smile and eximed, “Gin, big news! Oh hey, Letitia, you’re here
too. You’re a person of great merit, you know!
“What’s the good news?” Letitia asked.
“Since Ramirez Romantica’unched, our new jewelry series will be released at noon today, and guess
what? Samson pped his hands, “Sold out in a sh! Not a single piece left in stock!”
Elgin lifted his eyebrows slightly, showing a glint of approval in his eyes.
“The factory’s working overtime now, trying to get those orders shipped out as soon as possible. What
a smashing debut!”
Letitia smiled, “All thanks to Mr. Stewart’s marketing skills. You’ve been working hard, Mr. Stewart”
Samson was indeed a business whiz.
His approach waspletely different from Elgin’s, always full of wild strategies that somehow always
paid off.
Samson had split “Ramirez Romantica” into two.
One part was by-invitation-only, offering customized services to ultra-VIPs.
The lower limit for the membership is ten million.
The other part was for the general public, with counters in major cities and an official online store. Its
prices ranged from a few hundred to a few thousand.
In this way, high-end members got their exclusive custom pieces
The average could also buy jewelry from the same brand as the rich folks to boost their status.
The credit isn’t all mine, Samson replied, “Your designs are a hit, which makes customers happy to
open their wallets.”
It’s a team effort, all designers work hard on their sketches.”
You’re just too modest. The bestseller is that Radiant Beam Ne you designed”
Letitia modded, “If it’s selling like hotcakes, I’ll work on new Radiant Beam senes.”
“Fantastic. If this trend continues, your bonus next month is gonna be hefty.”
She felt a surge of confidence and determinallon.
Money was super important to her right now
Her dad needed cash for some smooth sailing in prison, to dodge the bullying and targeting. And her
mom needed pricey medicines
for treatment
She had to spare no effort to turn around her dire situation.
Elgin’s gaze swept over her briefly
He hadn’t expected Letitia to be talented in design and skyrocket “Ramirez Romantica” to fame.
if her life had stayed on track, she’d be a shining star in the jewelry field as a top-notch designer
But in Letitia’s normal life, there was no room for Elgin
The one who would grow old with her and stand by her side could only be Walden
At the thought of it, Elgin grew thoughtful in his eyes
“Oh yeah!” Something suddenly came to Samson, “Gin, find someone else to handle errands about
that film department, I can’t do it.”
“No one’s got your chops for it
“I won’t take it anyway. It’s a department exclusively created for Sh.”
Elgin nodded. That’s the idea. She wants to act
“She might as well wish to fly!” Samson could rant about Sh for days, “She wants big productions,
top directors, star-studded casts, and the lead role. So, I bust my chops to meet all these demands.
Guess what?”
Letitia was all ears, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, waiting for him to drop the bomb.
She wanted to know how far could Sh push her luck.
“She demands three stand-ins! One for kissing scenes, one for back shots, another for crying scenes!
Because she can’t cry! Now the directors bailed. No matter how much money will bring him back, he
doesn’t want to ruin his reputation.”
Letitia couldn’t help it and snorted withughter.
Elgin massaged his temples.
“Maybe it’s time to rethink this film division, Letitia suggested, “Isn’t Sh an inte celebrity? She’s
cut out for short clips and live
streams
Samson agreed, “Exactly. But I’m done with it, your call.”
He and Letitia left the CEO’s office together.
Elgin sat there quietly until Ranen entered, “Mr. Ramirez.”
“Leave the files.
“Sure, Mr. Ramirez”
Ranen neatly ced the paperwork on the desk Suddenly, he heard Elgin ask “Are you sure the
woman from that night was Sh?”
Ranen was stunned for a while, “Mr. Ramirez, we’ve been digging into this for ages… there’s no way
it’s wrong, right?
Each and every Elgin’s crew waspetent.
Hunting down the woman who escaped that night was an order from Elgin and no one dared ck off,
let alone pick someone at random to impersonate.
Elgin was feeling antsy, trapped in a muddled mood.
Sh, the vibe she gave off now was totally different from that night.
She seemed to be another person.
The woman from that night was green, frantic, and pure without a trace of greed or vanity. She just
thought it was shameful and left while he was still asleep.
But Sh now? Totally the opposite!.
She’s all about the money with no skills but a truckload of bad temper, lusting the high life and throwing
her weight around..
