Chapter 93
âChela, this kid. Since heâs a total no-show, letâs just keep it that way!â
Shela was confused, âHuh?â
âMiscarriage, find a way to have a miscarriage.â Mark said, âMake the kid disappearâ
âDad, if thereâs no baby, Mr. Ramirez wonât treat me this well!
Mark gave a sinister smile before replying. âThis baby, as valuable as he came, should leave with a bang Shela, Iâm definitely not suggesting you just casually get rid of it; we need a fall guy!â
A tall guy Shelaâs eyes lit up. âYou mean Letitia?â
âExactly! Mark nodded. âThink about it If your baby âdiesâ on her watch, what situation would that create?â
Itâs like hitting two birds with one stone! Not only does it solve the fake pregnancy issue, but it also makes sure Letitia can never bounce back!
The crime of killing off the Ramirez family bloodline thatâll have Letitia suffering for a lifetime!
âDad, youâre so smart! Shela nodded excitedly. This is pure genius!
âShush, this isnât going to be easy to pull off. We canât afford any slip-ups, otherwise, weâll be the ones in hot waterâ¦â
âThereâs still time! Plus, Iâm now living in Ivory Towers, I see Letitia every day!â
The father-daughter duo huddled together, plotting the whole affair.
it had to be watertight, without any mishaps, to make Mr. Ramirezâs heart bleed and to pin it all on Letitia!
From start to finish, Letitia was the thorn in their side, a real pain in the neck!
âI got it Shela said with a gleam in her eyes after hearing the whole plan. âDad, to avoid any complications, III seize the opportunity and
act fast
Mark pulled out a bag of plasma, Shela, whether you live the good life in your later years depends on this one moveâ
âFailure is not an option!â
âAfter this, Mr. Ramirez will feel guilty, will pity you. You can also grab any chance to actually get pregnant.â
Shela looked at the bag of plasma in her hands and nodded firmly.
At the Ramirez Group, Letitia was diligently at work on her design drafts, nestled in front of her computerâ¦
Her Radiant Beam design was incredibly popular, it sold out as soon as it hit the shelves, and every restock was snapped up in a
flash
So, she started working on a series of products like smiley rings, smiley earrings, and so on.
âLetitia, go deliver this document Odetta suddenly walked over, âDonât dawdle, hurry up.â
âMe?â
Odetta nodded impatiently. âYeah, you. Are you deaf or something?â
Letitia finally looked up from her computer, âYou need to speak human for me to understand, you know.â
âOh, look at you, acting all high and mighty when I ask you to deliver a document! Odetta, flaunting her slightly higher position, was bossing her around
Alright, Letitia wasnât going to take it anymore.
âFirst off, Iâm a designer, not your errand girl. Second, you have a secretary. And lastly, if you asked nicely, maybe I wouldâve considered
Odetta said arrogantly. âIâm your boss, so you have to do what I tell you to!â
She thrust the document at Letitia and tumed to leave
âWait. Letitia called her back, stood up, and tossed the document right back at her.
Odetta didnât catch it, and the document fell to the floor, papers scattering everywhere.
âYouâ She stomped her foot in a fit, âYou dare to lay hands on me!â
79 your own fault for not catching it, why blame me for it?â
âAlright then, Letitia, today I willâ¦
what? Vidontas voice suddenly cut in. âMaking a racket during work hours, whats all this about!
Udenaâs face changed. Vidonia was a supervisor, mnked above Odetta, and was close with Letitia!
âMs. Bailey, I. I was just asking Letitia to do something, and she snapped on me, talking back and getting physicalâ Odetta explained.
Vidoma walked over. Really? in the company, we should speak according to the rules. Letitia, seems like thereâs a problem with your
attitudeâ
Odetta, seeing this turn of events, got a bit confused.
What? Vidonia wasnât immediately taking Letitiaâs side? What was going on?
Suddenly, Odetta felt emboldened again
âThatâs right,â she quickly chimed in. âNow sheâs the darling of the Jewelry Department, looking down her nose at everyone. Ms. Bailey, one of these days, she wonât even take you seriously!â
Letitia coughed Being friends with her for years, she knew Vidonia too well.
Whenever Vidonia wanted to really get someone, sheâd start by playing dumb.
So. Letitia was going to play along!
âAbsolutely not Ms. Bailey Letitia replied, âMr. Stewart tasked me with finishing the Radiant Beam design drafts before the end of the month for production. Iâve been working overtime every day, not slacking offâ
âOh, then how did you end up clashing with Ms. Odetta?â
âShe asked me to deliver documents. I mean, come on, thatâs not my job.â
Odetta immediately interjected, âI thought you were zoning out in front of the computer, so I figured you could help out! I had no idea youd blow a fuse!
âMs. Odetta, you focus on handling projects, so you donât understand design. I wasnât zoning out, I was searching for inspirationâ
Odetta was about to retort when Vidonia cut in, âAlright, Iâve heard enough
After a few seconds of thought, Vidonia said, âItâs just a document delivery, folks. Letâs stay cordial. But⦠Ms. Odetta, looks like your secretaryâs slacking, huh.â
âUh?
âThe company gave you a secretary to do the running around, yet youâre out here looking for others to deliver documents, thatâs a penalty Vidonia declared. âDock your secretaryâs bonus for the month. You apologize to Letitia, and then Letitia, you apologize to her.â
Odetta was stunned Docking her secretaryâs bonus was like a slap in her face! And why should she apologize first?!
âMs Bailey, butâ¦â Odetta began, still eager to say more
Vidonia put on a serious face and quipped, âWhatâs up, got a problem with that? Everyoneâs watching, so chop chop.â
âIâ¦â Odetta had no choice but to suck it up, âNo, I donât have a problem.â
âThatâs what i thought. You called the shots with Letitia, so you were in the wrong first. She dropped the files afterward, so she apologizes secondâ
Under Vidoniaâs so-called âfairâ resolution, Odetta grudgingly muttered, âSorry, Letitia, I shouldnât have made you run errands for meâ
Letitia grinned, âNo worries, just donât do it again. My bad for not holding onto the files tight enough.â
âYou didnât just not hold onto the.
..
âThatâs enough,â Vidonia patted Odetta on the shoulder, go get those files delivered, donât hold up the work.â
Odetta stormed off, furning.
Letitia and Vidonia exchanged glances and both sneaked a chuckle
If those two teamed up to prank someone, that person wouldnât stand a chance!
