Chapter 87


    Maybe it’s just wishful thinking on her part


    “Yeah, the child I’m carrying doesn’t hold a candle to Sh’s precious one,” Letitia responded, “She’s


    lucky, caught your eye in a heartbeat, living the life of luxury. How could I everpare?*


    Elgin replied nonchntly. “If you were carrying my child, you’d be living even better than her.”


    But how could that ever happen? He hasn’tid a finger on her, and doesn’t n to anytime soon


    As Elgin walked towards the walk-in closet, he heard Letitia’s whisper-soft voice, murmuring like a


    mosquito, “What if there was no bad blood between us, would you fall for me?


    He abruptly stopped in his tracks, “Say that again.


    Letitia was startled, he actually heard her? Has his hearing always been this sharp?


    “It’s nothing.” she denied, “I didn’t say anything”


    Theard you


    Letitia bit her lip. Then why ask?


    After a few seconds of silence, Elgin said, Without the deep-seated hatred, we wouldn’t even know


    each other.


    Like two parallel lines, destined never to intersect, each living out their own lives just fine.


    Letitia replied. That’s not what I was asking.”


    It was about love. Whether he could love her.


    Elgin let out a sarcasticugh, Letitia, can’t you feel it? Why even ask?


    But he would never admit it, not even a sliver! He’s too proud, and she’s too stubborn.


    Elgin entered the walk-in closet and mmed the door shut with a bang.


    Letitia ruffled her hair, wondering if she had knelt for too long causing poor cirction and making her


    brain slow, to even ask


    such a question.


    Love? There’s no love between them. It’s all hatred.


    He hates her, and she hates him even more. They had been torturing each other without mercy.


    Letitia sat on the floor, nursing the redness on her knees, applied some heat, and gradually fell asleep.


    When she woke up, it was already light outside


    She found herself in the big bed, alone, with no sign of Elgin


    What’s going on… Did she sleepwalk onto the bed again? When did she start doing this? Maybe she


    should check it out at the hospital someday


    Otherwise, who knows when Elgin might just toss her off the bed.


    Arriving at the office, Letitia was heading to her workstation when Odetta came up to her


    “Yo, what happened to your leg?” Odetta asked in a mocking tone, “Someone beat you up?”


    “Nope, sorry to disappoint you


    I don’t go around seducing men like you. Sooner orter, someone will grab you by the hair and teach


    you a lesson!


    Letitia shed a smile, “If we’re talking about seducing men, then as you saw yesterday, I didn’t do a


    thing, and the guy just came


    at me What can I do?”


    “You… You’re proud of this?”


    Of course, it means I’m irresistible. Letitia aimed to rile her up. “Unlike you, hanging all over Mr


    Thompson and still getting pushed away with disgust


    furning “Fine. Letitia, you better not fall into my hands!”


    capable of hurting me in the slightest retorted Letitia.


    Ramirez would openly back you up here in thepany! You’re just his mistress!”


    So Odra thought she was Elgin’s mistress How amusing


    Letitia raised an eyebrow, “To deal with you, I don’t need someone like Mr. Ramirez. Just Vidonia alone


    could make you regret it. And if all else fails, there’s Mr. Stewart.”


    Unable to outtalk her, Odetta stormed off with anger distorting her face, and she deliberately bumped


    into Letitia’s shoulder on her way


    Letitia snorted.


    Aside from being totally dominated by Elgin, Letitia never lost a battle of wits with anyone else!


    “Letitia!” Vidonia greeted her with a bag in hand and a cheery smile, “Morning”


    “Morning.”


    “Why the long face.. Hey? Why are you limping?”


    Letitia sighed. “Long story.”


    “What is it, did you trip?”


    “It’s Elgin, Letitia answered That scoundrel


    When ites to punishing her, Elgin’s methods are never the same twice. He could be called a


    master of variety!


    “Did he hit you?” Vidonia eximed. No way, that’s domestic violence! Call the cops, get him!”


    “He didn’ty hands on me himself, it’s just… never mind, it’ll be okay in a couple of days.


    Letitia knew this wasn’t a big deal, just a bit numb from kneeling too long, a little blood cirction and


    bruise treatment would help her recovering.


    Vidonia was always one for getting even. After such a blow, she’d definitely want payback!


    Holding back was not an option!


    “No way, we can’t just let this slide, Vidonia pulled Letitia along. We’ve got to get even.”


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “Vidonia, stop kidding, that’s Elgin.. Elgin!”


    Is revenge that easy? Is it that simple?


    “I know.” Vidonia snapped her fingers, ‘But there are plenty of ways to tick him off.”


    She’s always been full of mischief. Letitia looked at her curiously


    “Come on, Vidonia motioned with her finger, Listen to me


    She whispered a n into Letitia’s ear Letitia hesitated, “Will this really work?”


    “Of course! It all depends on your acting skills, how you pull it off!


    “L.. I’ll give it a try”


    “If you’re going to do it, do it right! Otherwise, don’t bother. If you don’t achieve the desired effect, it’s all


    for naught


    Letitia gripped her phone, her face resolute, “Okay”


    Vidonia patted her on the shoulder. Don’t be scared, nobody knows you’re Mrs Ramirez! But everyone


    knows Elgin! Go for it”


    Letitia went to execute the n.


    Meanwhile, in the conference room…..


    Elgin sat at the head of the table, eyes downcast, exuding a chilly aura, always decisive in business


    matters.


    His subordinates were seriously reporting on their work.


    Everything was proceeding smoothly, until the ringtone of a phone pierced the silence


    Everyone turned their gaze to Elgin


    Everyone at the Ramirez Group knows that if Mr. Ramirez is in a meeting, you’d better put your phone


    on silent or you’re dead


    chout


    But this call,


    ising from Mr. Ramirez’s own cell


    and thought, Elgin reached to hang up, but then he saw the caller ID.


    ally calling him? How add


    With a flick of his finger, Elgin hit the answer button, “Hello?”


    The others were caught off guard, Mr. Ramirez actually took a call!


    In the hushed conference room. a gentle, goddess-like voice came through the earpiece, “Hello, honey-


    The voice was so cutesy, so tender and sweet, it could make your heart melt.


    Turns out it was Mrs. Ramirez on the line. No wonder Mr. Ramirez picked up!


    No one in thepany had ever seen Mrs. Ramirez, and today was the first time they even heard her


    voice!
