Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 72

Letitia couldn’t even bear to glance at the design

In the CEO’s office, handing over the sketch to Elgin, she said, “I have a… tiny favor to ask.”

Elgin didn’t even look up, “Go ahead.”

“Can we maybe not go around bragging that I’m the brain behind this ring’s design?”

She was senously worried it would trash her reputation in the jewelry design world!

Elgin eyed the sketch in his hands.

For real. It was a pretty lackluster design, all flash and no elegance, not a whiff of that high-end luxury vibe

Letitia quickly clarified. These are all Shela’s ideas and she oversees the whole thing. It’s all her taste, not a reflection of my skills.”

“But, this sketch came from your hand.”

“Anyone could’ve drawn it.”

Elgin raised an eyebrow, “You’re this reluctant to admit you designed the wedding ring?”

“It’s simply not my taste.” Letitia said politely, “Mr. Ramirez, you could give this promo opportunity to some other designers, I really don’t need it.”

This ring was going to be publicized for “Ramirez Romantica”. Because it was pricey and could ride the wave of Elgin’s fame.

He was a golden boy in the AquaCity, with more influence than a superstar.

“This chance is yours. Elgin said in a plain tone, ‘no turning it down.”

Letitia replied in exasperation, “Why bother… just to spite me?”

As Mrs Ramirez, she had to design an engagement ring for a mistress and even take charge of the promotion.

It was rubbing salt in her wounds.

“Get started, Elgin commanded, “use the finest gems and the purest diamonds to craft this ring.”

Letitia replied, “Sure.”

She bit back the urge to roll her eyes and grabbed the sketch, heading out.

Just then, Samson barged in with a smile and exclaimed, “Gin, big news! Oh hey, Letitia, you’re here too. You’re a person of great merit, you know! NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“What’s the good news?” Letitia asked.

“Since Ramirez Romantica’ launched, our new jewelry series will be released at noon today, and guess what? Samson clapped his hands, “Sold out in a flash! Not a single piece left in stock!”

Elgin lifted his eyebrows slightly, showing a glint of approval in his eyes.

“The factory’s working overtime now, trying to get those orders shipped out as soon as possible. What a smashing debut!”

Letitia smiled, “All thanks to Mr. Stewart’s marketing skills. You’ve been working hard, Mr. Stewart”

Samson was indeed a business whiz.

His approach was completely different from Elgin’s, always full of wild strategies that somehow always paid off.

Samson had split “Ramirez Romantica” into two.

One part was by-invitation-only, offering customized services to ultra-VIPs.

The lower limit for the membership is ten million.

The other part was for the general public, with counters in major cities and an official online store. Its prices ranged from a few hundred to a few thousand.

In this way, high-end members got their exclusive custom pieces

The average could also buy jewelry from the same brand as the rich folks to boost their status.

The credit isn’t all mine, Samson replied, “Your designs are a hit, which makes customers happy to open their wallets.”

It’s a team effort, all designers work hard on their sketches.”

You’re just too modest. The bestseller is that Radiant Beam Necklace you designed”

Letitia modded, “If it’s selling like hotcakes, I’ll work on new Radiant Beam senes.”

“Fantastic. If this trend continues, your bonus next month is gonna be hefty.”

She felt a surge of confidence and determinallon.

Money was super important to her right now

Her dad needed cash for some smooth sailing in prison, to dodge the bullying and targeting. And her mom needed pricey medicines

for treatment

She had to spare no effort to turn around her dire situation.

Elgin’s gaze swept over her briefly

He hadn’t expected Letitia to be talented in design and skyrocket “Ramirez Romantica” to fame.

if her life had stayed on track, she’d be a shining star in the jewelry field as a top-notch designer

But in Letitia’s normal life, there was no room for Elgin

The one who would grow old with her and stand by her side could only be Walden

At the thought of it, Elgin grew thoughtful in his eyes

“Oh yeah!” Something suddenly came to Samson, “Gin, find someone else to handle errands about that film department, I can’t do it.”

“No one’s got your chops for it

“I won’t take it anyway. It’s a department exclusively created for Shela.”

Elgin nodded. That’s the idea. She wants to act

“She might as well wish to fly!” Samson could rant about Shela for days, “She wants big productions, top directors, star-studded casts, and the lead role. So, I bust my chops to meet all these demands.

Guess what?”

Letitia was all ears, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, waiting for him to drop the bomb.

She wanted to know how far could Shela push her luck.

“She demands three stand-ins! One for kissing scenes, one for back shots, another for crying scenes! Because she can’t cry! Now the directors bailed. No matter how much money will bring him back, he doesn’t want to ruin his reputation.”

Letitia couldn’t help it and snorted with laughter.

Elgin massaged his temples.

“Maybe it’s time to rethink this film division, Letitia suggested, “Isn’t Shela an internet celebrity? She’s cut out for short clips and live

streams

Samson agreed, “Exactly. But I’m done with it, your call.”

He and Letitia left the CEO’s office together.

Elgin sat there quietly until Ranen entered, “Mr. Ramirez.”

“Leave the files.

“Sure, Mr. Ramirez”

Ranen neatly placed the paperwork on the desk Suddenly, he heard Elgin ask “Are you sure the woman from that night was Shela?”

Ranen was stunned for a while, “Mr. Ramirez, we’ve been digging into this for ages… there’s no way it’s wrong, right?

Each and every Elgin’s crew was competent.

Hunting down the woman who escaped that night was an order from Elgin and no one dared slack off, let alone pick someone at random to impersonate.

Elgin was feeling antsy, trapped in a muddled mood.

Shela, the vibe she gave off now was totally different from that night.

She seemed to be another person.

The woman from that night was green, frantic, and pure without a trace of greed or vanity. She just thought it was shameful and left while he was still asleep.

But Shela now? Totally the opposite!.

She’s all about the money with no skills but a truckload of bad temper, lusting the high life and throwing her weight around..
