Sophie’s pov
No?
I looked up at him and peered into his eyes. There’s no trace of any emotion that would tell me what he
was thinking in his head right now.
“I’m not going to stop bringing it up. I’m going to keep saying it until I no longer feel anger every time I
think about it, Sophie.” He grumbles.
“Don’t act like you don’t know why I did what I did Aiden! At that time I thought I was making the right
choice. I’ve always put Ashton’s best interest before mine
“Putting his best interest by keeping him away from his father. Is that what you call putting his best
interest, Sophie!?” He barked, the veins in his neck more visible.
“I did what I thought was right! You’ve always hurt me, I thought you’d hurt him too! I wanted to protect
him Aiden. You can’t be mad that I thought you’d not love him, especially with the way you treated me
for years.”
My chest rose and fell as I breathed heavily and quickly.
Aiden remains quiet but his stormy gaze is still on me. And then he spoke up after a couple of stifling
seconds.
“What makes you think I wouldn’t have loved him, Sophie? Was I that much of a villain in your story
that you thought I’d not love my own son?”
I peered at him and then I laughed.
But it comes out dry and dried out of emotion. “Villain? Aiden you must’ve forgotten how you treated
me during high school. But don’t worry, you’re not the only villain in my story. I’m also a villain. So I
guess we’re both villains. So don’t act like what you’ve done to me is any better than what I’ve done to
you. We both screwed up.”
Aiden looked at me and then shook his head. “I’m not going to argue with you right now Sophie.
Especially when we both might say something the other will regret.”
“Good because I don’t feel like arguing right now either. I’m tired of arguing with you today. Let’s focus
on the main issue at hand right now. I refuse to be your secretary if you only want revenge Aiden.” I
said sending a pointed look his way.
Aiden snorted. “You really don’t have a choice in this Sophie. But.” He stops and reaches for the phone
on his desk.
“Revenge is the last thing on my mind.” He finishes and I didn’t believe a single word he just said.
If Aiden was the same guy from high school then revenge was definitely on his mind. It would be the
first!
Seeing as there was no way out of this I stayed silent. What would be the point in continuing to fight
him on this when he would only threaten me with Bernard again?
And of course, I wouldn’t risk Bernard getting fired because of me so I would agree and he’d get
exactly what he wanted.
Eyeing him curiously as he punched in a few numbers I asked.
“Am I dismissed then boss?” I asked him sarcastically.
Since I had a new role in being the Ceo’s secretary then I might as well go to see where I was
stationed to work.
Aiden looks up from the phone, shook his head no then lifted his finger to silence me and tell me to
wait.
A woman’s voice filters through the office seconds later and I stiffen.
“Yes Mr. Xavier?” The woman coughed a bit.
Looking at me without batting a lash, Aiden said. “Get the best women’s brand office clothes in my
office in less than thirty minutes.” He ordered.
“Size sir?” The woman squeaked through the phone.
Was that his personal assistant? Was she not sick?
Aiden’s eyes roamed over my figure before he responds cooly. I watch in shock as he says my exact
size and I squirm when his eyes practically feast on my breasts.
I sat back down on the sofa awkwardly because that was the only way I could get his eyes to move off
my breasts without acting foolish.
But his eyes just followed and I glared at him. Noticing my glare, he had the nerve to smirk and wink.
I let out an annoyed breath. One minute we were down each other’s throats the next Aiden was flirting
with me and I was fighting the urge to jump his bones.
When he ends the call with the woman I asked in curiosity. “How do you know my size?”
His eyes went back to roaming my figure and they stopped yet again on my breasts. I blew out a breath
through my nose.
“Eyes up here Aiden!” I snapped and he had the audacity to chuckle.
His eyes snapped back up to mine and he smirked, and answered my pending question. “I got my
measurements from the last time you were in my office.”
My brows drew together as I rake my brain. What was he talking about?
How did he get my measurements from the last time I was here…..
Noticing my confused questioning gaze Aiden replied. “I measured your size by feeling you with my
hands the last time you were inside here. You know the day we C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“Okay okay, I get it!” I cut him off before he reminds me of the day I supposedly was meant to make
him eat that resignation letter. Only for me to be on his desk with my legs spread wide open a few
minutes after entering his office.
I was still embarrassed about being so easy that day. Then again I was always easy to fall for his
charms. Something I’m still working on.
Aiden chuckled and pushes off his desk. I rose from the sofa when he started walking forward.
Aiden struts over to the door with one hand in his pocket. I
was beginning to think this was his signature. He would always have his hands in his pockets.
Opening the door, he looked at me over his shoulder and smirked when I looked at him confused. He
opens the door wider and motions for me to pass through.
“Ladies first.” He smirked.
Trolled my eyes and approached him. “Since when are you such a gentleman?” | mocked him
sarcastically.
Aiden was no gentleman, especially when that smirk was printed on his face.
Why do I feel like I was getting into yet another trap of his?
Aiden chuckles and leans down to breathe beside my ear when I am beside him. I stiffen as a shiver
rakes down my spine.
“I’m only a gentleman when it comes to you mama bear.” He breathed out, his warm breath tickling my
ear.
