Chapter 110

Shela finally got it and giggled, “That makes sense… This ring is truly meant for the real Mrs. Ramirez to have.”

Che was bursting with joy inside, picking up the ring and deliberately showing it off to Letitia.

It’s so gorgeous, ordinary folks would have to hustle for generations to afford it,” Shela said. “It’s just too beautiful. With this on my finger, all the ladies in AquaCity will be green with envy…”

She slowly slipped the ring onto her ring finger, basking in the sunlight, admiring it non-stop.

It was so pretty. Shela totally digs this kind of lavish style.

She strutted over to Letitia, “What do you think? All thanks to your design, huh?”

“Oh, I forgot to tell you, Letitia said with a smile, “I hope when you wear it out, you don’t go around saying I designed it”

“Why? Jealous much?”

“Because it’s a stain on my design career, Letitia responded. “I don’t want to admit something so tacky and tasteless came from me.”

“Hmph, you’re just jealous of me!”

Letitia stood up, “Yep, the whole world’s jealous of you. I won’t intrude on your little love nest any longer, I’m outta here.”

“Wait, you killed my baby, I haven’t forgiven you for that!” Shela called her back, “You’re not getting off the hook that easy!”

Shela wanted her to get an abortion again, and she was pushing her so hard.

Letitia clenched her teeth, trying to stay cool, “It’s peak season for the Jewelry Department right now, with new releases and marketing to handle, I’m swamped. Unless you want to destroy the sales of ‘Ramirez Romantica’ that we’ve just built up!”

“Ramirez Romantica’s best-seller was Letitia’s Radiant Beam, the star product.

If she had a miscarriage, she definitely wouldn’t be able to work, and both her mental and physical health would take a massive hit.

Shela didn’t expect Letitia to come at her with such an indisputable argument.

“Mr. Ramirez, she…”

“Mr. Ramirez has to think about the company too,” Letitia cut in, “why the rush right now?”

Just wait a little longer, just give it a little more time.

Shela had already put the ring on, the day she’d have the proof wasn’t far off!

Elgin looked at her with deep eyes, “Letitia, you just keep making excuses.”

He was wondering how long she could drag this out.

Her belly’s getting bigger by the day, and it’s just getting more and more in his way!

Letitia didn’t respond and left in a hurry.

Back at the Jewelry Department, she was a bit restless, uncertain if the bug would prove to be crucial.

As she worried, Vidonia called her into the office.

“Come on, listen to this,” Vidonia passed her the specialized earpiece for the bug, “we’ve got audio.

Letitia quickly put it on. The sound was crystal clear, not glitchy at all.

“Shela’s wearing the ring, that’s why we can hear her so well, Letitia noted. “I wonder if it’ll be just as effective if she puts it in her purse or pocket”

“It’s gotta work, otherwise, it’s money down the drain. You know how much that tiny thing cost… uh…” Vidonia clapped a hand over her mouth, realizing her slip.

“Was it expensive? Letitia felt guilty, “I’m sorry for the expense, I’ll pay you back when I get my paycheck”

“It’s not about the money, what matters is collecting the evidence!”

Right!

The two of them huddled together, intently listening to the conversations coming through the earpiece.

Shela was still in Eigin’s office

Mr. Ramirez, are you free tonight?”

Tm bury

Bestly couch recovered By next week we can… we can resume cur intimate relationship

Elgin remained silent.

“Mr. Ramirez, I really want to have your child… this miscarriage has given me a huge psychological blow, but for you, I’m willing to

overcome it.

Lets talk about it later.”

Shela started to act coquettish, “But we should seize the moment, who has that many laters? Let’s start tonight, I’ll move into the

master bedroom with you.”

At this, Letitia was taken aback.

Shela hadn’t moved into the master bedroom?

Letitia had assumed that after she moved to the servant’s quarters, Shela had been sharing a bed with Elgin.

“No need, Elgin bluntly refused her, “from tonight on, you’re moving back to Breezy Bay Condos.”

“What?! But,”

“You and Letitia should stay separate, to avoid further incidents.”

Shela stammered, unable to form a complete sentence. She had just settled in, still buzzing with the thrill of living with Elgin, and now, she was being uprooted yet again!

Sheia felt off balance. She had been pregnant and then had a miscarriage, yet Elgin was still treating her this way.

Upon reflection, Shela’s temper flared, “Mr. Ramirez, do you have… feelings for Letitia?”

“What did you say?”

“You see her every day, feelings develop, you like her,” Shela complained, she’s good at seducing men, you’re charmed by her, aren’t you?”

Letitia was speechless.

Shela thought everyone was like her, always trying to please men!

But what surprised her more was Elgin’s answer- “Maybe.”

Letitia’s mind went blank

Even Vidonia gave her several looks, pressing the earpiece hard, thinking she’d misheard.

What does “maybe” mean? Elgin was perhaps charmed by her? What was he getting at?

Shela didn’t expect her question to get such an answer either, “Mr. Ramirez, you really…”

“It’s none of your business,” Elgin said, “you’d do well to leave her alone.”

“But..”

“No buts Shela, I always felt that night… Elgin dragged his voice out, but didn’t continue.

Letitia waited anxiously, but in the end, Elgin’s words stopped right there.

Shela left, the sound of her high heels clicking echoed through the earpiece.

“What’s Elgin on about? Vidonia asked, taking off her headphones with a curious look. “What does he think about that night? Why did he clam up all of a sudden?”

Letitia just shook her head.

That night? Did he share some sort of memorable night with Shela?

Uke… the way she did with the father of the baby she’s carrying?

“Shela’s a true vixen.” Vidonia scoffed, Too bad for her, her tricks are so lame that most guys don’t fall for them.”

“Elgin’s not most guys, though.”

“He must’ve been bewitched by Shela!”

Letitia chuckled.

Feelings in this world, they’re just so hard to pin down.

When you’re in love, you’re in love.

vidoria advised, “You should spend some time getting to grips with the eavesdropping device when you can. It can play back, and it’s not like you’re glued to those headphones 24/7
