Chapter 75


    Elgin stowed his phone away, but his brows remained furrowed, never smoothing out.


    Sh went all out to create a romantic vibe, setting up a candlelit dinner.


    With the riverscape outside and a romantic candlelit dinner inside, he also had red wine and a hot girl


    at his service.


    Sh slipped into a silk spaghetti strap dress, the neckline plunging to her chest, revealing more than


    little skin.


    She had spritzed on some perfume and curled her hair. She was dead set on luring Elgin into her bed


    tonight! No more dilly-dallying!


    “Mr. Ramirez, let’s toast, Sh said, thoughtfully pouring him some red wine. “This is our first dinner


    together, you know”


    Elgin clinked sses with her, sipping the wine thoughtfully.


    He kept quiet. Whatever Sh said, he just hummed in response and took another drink.


    Sh moved closer, sitting beside him. “Mr Ramirez, let’s enjoy tonight together”


    Her shoulder strap slid down, and she thought no man could resist this temptation. But Elgin didn’t


    even spare her an extra nce.


    Sh, not easily discouraged, pressed herself against Elgin again. “Mr. Ramirez, we’re almost through


    this bottle of wine.”


    “Pop open another,” said Elgin


    “You want more? You’ll get drunk, replied Sh


    “I’ll crash here if I get drunk.” Elgin yed with his wine ss. “Not going back.”


    Sh’s face lit up. “Okay!”


    She eagerly refilled his ss, and two bottles of wine were empty before they knew it.


    The wine had quite a kick.


    They didn’t feel it at first, but in less than half an hour, the drunkenness started to kick in.


    “Mr. Ramirez, let me help you to your room, Sh stood up. “You need a good rest.”


    With her help, Elginy on the bed, and his deep-set eyes were half-closed.


    He was indeed a dreamboat!


    He was so handsome that Sh was almost entranced.


    “What a hot and loaded guy,” she thought, swearing to seize this now-or-never chance!


    “Mr. Ramirez, let me get you into your pajamas,” Sh said, ‘Come on Let me unbutton you…”


    Her hand touched Elgin’s Adam’s apple. As she reached the second button, Elgin suddenly brushed


    her off. “Fuck off.”


    Sh was shocked ‘Mr. Ramirez”


    “Get out.” He pressed his brow, muttering, “Leave me…. alone…”


    Sh was persistent. Ill stay and keep youpany”


    Elgin just waved her off and closed his eyes to rest


    “No worries. As long as Mr. Ramirez is here, I still have a shot. No rush for now!” Sh thought in her


    heart.


    After a moment, Sh left the room. She still had onest ace that she hadn’t yed!


    Her father had given it to her, which would make a man thirsty and hot all over, perfect for spicing


    things up with Mr. Ramirez.


    Sh rummaged through her stuff and found it a candle with a seductive, desire-stirring scent.


    She caressed it gently, smiling. “Tonight’s the night.”


    In the bedroom, Elgin groped for his phone, pausing on the screen for quite a while.


    Finally, he found Letitia’s name and sent a voice message to her.


    [After the celebration,e to Breezy Bay Condos.)


    After sending it, he tossed the phone aside, the drunkenness taking over even more.


    Letitia wouldn’t dare ignore him, and she woulde. Once she did, she could take him home.


    That was Elgin’sst thought before falling into a drunken slumber


    The door lock clicked softly, and Sh entered with the lit scented candle.


    The spent was indeed intoxicating.


    She ced the candle on the nightstand, and the bedroom was full of a seductive fragrance soon


    afterward. Even Sh felt a tingling desire


    “Mr. Ramirez, let’s have a beautiful night together.”


    Elgin was fast asleep, motionless, as Sh undid his shirt buttons and belt.


    Sh stripped off her clothes,y beside him, and pulled his hand to rest on her waist, snuggling into


    his embrace.


    It was eleven at night.


    The celebration was over.


    “Til take you home, Vidonia offered. “It’s not safe for you to go alone thiste


    Letitia chuckled. “No womes. ll take a cab. You’ve had a long day, too. Go home and get some rest”


    “You look too stunning tonight I can’t leave you alone Vidonia teased


    Letitiaughed.


    During a shopping trip. Vidonia picked a white spaghetti strap dress for Letitia, which ttered her


    perfect figure Letitia’s sexy curves and natural elegance made her look incredibly soft and gorgeous.


    Several guys from the Jewelry Department were quite forward in chatting her up tonight


    “If you weren’t mamed, you could consider dating some of the guys in our department,” Vidonia winked.


    “Quite a few are into you”


    Letitia shook her head “With my current situation, I’m not in the right ce for a rtionship. Besides,


    there have been rumors about me and Elgin at work. The good guys steer clear of me


    Her mamage with Elgin was a secret, not public knowledge.


    But since she was frequently seen entering and leaving the CEO’s office, and Ranen went to see her


    now and then, gossip naturally started


    Letitia acted oblivious to it all because she couldn’t exin her situation.


    Stepping out of the hotel, Letitia checked her phone and saw Elgin’s voice message.


    “Head to Breezy Bay Condos? Why would I go to Sh’s ce thiste? Why would I want to be the


    third wheel if Elgin and Sh were getting cozy?” she wondered.


    But Elgin’s words were likemands. She had to go. Otherwise, he’d throw a fit.


    Letitia hailed a taxi

    Arriving at Breezy Bay Condos, she was about to ring the bell but found the door ajar, not closed.


    Without overthinking it, she walked in.


    The entire apartment was bathed in light. Letitia spotted Elgin’s suit jacket casually strewn across the


    living room couch and unfinished food on the dinner table.


    “Elgin?” Letitia called out tentatively. “Where are you?”


    He’d called her over but was nowhere to be seen. What was this all about?


    Noise came from the bedroom, and Letitia frowned slightly Could it be that Elgin and Sh had already


    gone to bed?


    The thought crossed her mind, and she felt a sting in her heart.


    The image of them cuddling and sleeping together popped into her head


    Letitia held her breath and crept slowly towards the bedroom


    The bedroom door was wide open, and she could see everything inside crystal clear from the doorway


    Elgin was out like a light on the king-sized bed, his brows and eyescking the sharpness they had


    during the day, looking chilled out


    then


    Sh curled up in his arms, her brown hair spreading across his shoulder and chest


    They looked so close and erotic. The scene was intimate and suggestive. And the kicker was neither of


    them was wearing a stitch. Their clothes were all scattered on the floor


    The scene was exactly like what Letitia had pictured in her mind!


    Letitia, unable to help herself, stumbled back two steps, her shaky frame crashing into the door with a


    loud “bang. That noise woke Sh up


    “Who’s there?” she mumbled and sat up in a daze. When she saw it was Letitia, she paused for a


    second before asking. “What are you doing here?
