Sold to Bastard Alpha after My Divorce! novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Chapter 108

Aria’s POV

It rang once.

"ARIA!"

Sophie’s voice exploded through the speaker so loud I had to hold the phone away from my ear.

"Oh my GOD. FINALLY. I’ve been waiting for you to call ALL DAY. How did the interview go? Did you get the job? Why haven’t you updated me? I’ve been DYING here!"

Despite everything, I smiled. "Hi, Sophie."

"Don’t ’hi Sophie’ me! I need details! All of them! Immediately!"

"I got the job."

"YOU GOT THE—" A pause. "Wait. Why don’t you sound happy about that? You should be screaming. You should be celebrating. Why do you sound like someone ran over your dog?"

"I don’t have a dog."

"That’s not the point!" I could hear her pacing. She always paced when she was agitated. "What happened? Tell me everything. Right now."

I leaned back against the couch. Closed my eyes.

Where did I even begin?

"It’s been... a lot."

"A lot good or a lot bad?"

"Both?" I laughed weakly. "Mostly bad. Definitely mostly bad."

"Okay. Start from the beginning. I’m sitting down. I have snacks. I’m ready."

So I told her.

Everything.

The job interview. The late-night preparation. Falling asleep at my desk like a lunatic. The mysterious phone call about the inspection. Lina’s first day at school. Meeting Celestia at the gates. The confrontation.

Sophie made appropriate sounds throughout. Gasps of outrage. Muttered curses. The occasional "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"

When I got to the part about Felix calling Lina "human stink," she actually screamed.

"THAT LITTLE MONSTER! I swear to God, Aria, if I ever meet that kid—"

"It gets worse."

"HOW CAN IT GET WORSE?"

"Rebecca Silver Fang is his mother’s friend. Or something. Her daughter goes to the same school."

Silence.

"I’m sorry." Sophie’s voice was dangerously calm. "Did you just say Rebecca?"

"Yes."

"As in Rebecca Silver Fang? The psycho ex-girlfriend? The one who made your life a living hell?"

"The very same."

"And she’s at your daughter’s SCHOOL?"

"Her daughter is. The one who started the whole ’human stink’ thing."

More silence.

Then Sophie started swearing. A creative string of profanity that went on for a solid thirty seconds.

"—absolute GARBAGE human being! No, not even human! She’s a DEMON! A blonde, designer-wearing demon from the lowest pit of—"

"Sophie."

"I’m not done!"

"There’s more."
