Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife
Chapter 75

Chapter 75

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

Shela 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.

Shela 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, Shela said, thoughtfully pouring him some red wine. “This is our first dinner together, you know”

Elgin clinked glasses with her, sipping the wine thoughtfully.

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

Shela 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 glance.

Shela, 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 Shela

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

Shela’s face lit up. “Okay!”

She eagerly refilled his glass, 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, Shela stood up. “You need a good rest.”

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

He was indeed a dreamboat!

He was so handsome that Shela 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,” Shela 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.”

Shela was shocked ‘Mr. Ramirez”

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

Shela was persistent. Ill stay and keep you company”

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!” Shela thought in her heart.

After a moment, Shela left the room. She still had one last ace that she hadn’t played!

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.

Shela 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, come 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 would come. Once she did, she could take him home.

That was Elgin’s last thought before falling into a drunken slumber

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

Chapter 25

The spent was indeed intoxicating.

She placed the candle on the nightstand, and the bedroom was full of a seductive fragrance soon afterward. Even Shela felt a tingling desire

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

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

Shela stripped off her clothes, lay 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 this late

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

Letitia laughed.

During a shopping trip. Vidonia picked a white spaghetti strap dress for Letitia, which flattered 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 place for a relationship. 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 explain 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 Shela’s place this late? Why would I want to be the third wheel if Elgin and Shela were getting cozy?” she wondered.

But Elgin’s words were like commands. 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 Shela 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 eyes lacking the sharpness they had during the day, looking chilled out

then

Shela 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 Shela 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?
