Sophieâs pov No?
I looked up at him and peered into his eyes. Thereâs no trace of any emotion that would tell me what he was thinking in his head right now.
âIâm not going to stop bringing it up. Iâm going to keep saying it until I no longer feel anger every time I think about it, Sophie.â He grumbles.
âDonât act like you donât know why I did what I did Aiden! At that time I thought I was making the right choice. Iâve always put Ashtonâs best interest before mine âPutting his best interest by keeping him away from his father. Is that what you call putting his best interest, Sophie!?â He barked, the veins in his neck more visible.
âI did what I thought was right! Youâve always hurt me, I thought youâd hurt him too! I wanted to protect him Aiden. You canât be mad that I thought youâd not love him, especially with the way you treated me for years.â
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.
âWhat makes you think I wouldnât have loved him, Sophie? Was I that much of a villain in your story that you thought Iâd not love my own son?â
I peered at him and then I laughed.
But it comes out dry and dried out of emotion. âVillain? Aiden you mustâve forgotten how you treated me during high school. But donât worry, youâre not the only villain in my story. Iâm also a villain. So I guess weâre both villains. So donât act like what youâve done to me is any better than what Iâve done to you. We both screwed up.â
Aiden looked at me and then shook his head. âIâm not going to argue with you right now Sophie. Especially when we both might say something the other will regret.â
âGood because I donât feel like arguing right now either. Iâm tired of arguing with you today. Letâs focus on the main issue at hand right now. I refuse to be your secretary if you only want revenge Aiden.â I said sending a pointed look his way.
Aiden snorted. âYou really donât have a choice in this Sophie. But.â He stops and reaches for the phone on his desk.
âRevenge is the last thing on my mind.â He finishes and I didnât 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 wouldnât risk Bernard getting fired because of me so I would agree and heâd get exactly what he wanted.
Eyeing him curiously as he punched in a few numbers I asked.
âAm I dismissed then boss?â I asked him sarcastically.
Since I had a new role in being the Ceoâs 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 womanâs voice filters through the office seconds later and I stiffen.
âYes Mr. Xavier?â The woman coughed a bit.
Looking at me without batting a lash, Aiden said. âGet the best womenâs brand office clothes in my office in less than thirty minutes.â He ordered.
âSize sir?â The woman squeaked through the phone.
Was that his personal assistant? Was she not sick?
Aidenâs 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 otherâs 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. âHow do you know my size?â
His eyes went back to roaming my figure and they stopped yet again on my breasts. I blew out a breath through my nose.
âEyes up here Aiden!â I snapped and he had the audacity to chuckle.
His eyes snapped back up to mine and he smirked, and answered my pending question. âI got my measurements from the last time you were in my office.â
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. âI measured your size by feeling you with my hands the last time you were inside here. You know the day we âOkay okay, I get it!â 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 Iâm 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.
âLadies first.â He smirked.
Trolled my eyes and approached him. âSince when are you such a gentleman?â I 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.
âIâm only a gentleman when it comes to you mama bear.â He breathed out, his warm breath tickling my ear.
