The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 49

Sophie’s pov

Fury. Burning fury. That’s all I felt when I punched in his floor number brutally. I wasn’t allowed up there, but right now I didn’t care.

I had nothing to lose anymore.

Aiden only gave me more than enough reason to leave.

As soon as the elevator doors slid open, I stepped out of the lift seething as my heels slammed against the floor with the harsh and stormy way I walked.

If Aiden was the storm then I was going to be the hurricane today
I was going to give him a piece of my mind.

Ceo or not, he does not get to be my bully anymore.

He’ll not bully me into staying.

I clutched the paper in my grasp tightly, my anger burning in my belly hotly.

The woman, Noel, I suppose is her name, lifts her head quickly when she hears my loud storming footfalls.

Her brows rise in surprise but she swiftly regains her composure and stands up.

“You’re not allowed to be in here Noel started with a scowl, but I pinned her with one of my own.

“Shut up you damn parrot.” I snapped and stormed past her with the paper clutched in my hand.

She looked stunned by my hostility and flinched when I passed her without glancing at her.

“You’re not allowed here you wench!” She snarled behind me and I’m well aware of her quick footsteps behind me.

Wench? Are we in the 19th century? I ignored her and walked faster.

I swung the door open before she could stop me, my eyes falling on the guy who was always running through my mind without warning.

The guy who was now causing me distress and anger.

Aiden.

He seemed to have been pacing his floor, because as soon as the door thrust open he whips around, angry with cold furious eyes.

But when he noticed it was me standing in his doorway, seething like a kettle, the anger slowly diminishes in his eyes.

“You!” I start with a seethe on my tongue as I glared at him.

I knew I was disrespecting my boss and surely I could really pay for it.

But at the moment, I didn’t care.

“Mr.

Xavier, I’m so sorry.

I tried to stop her but Noel rushed in, shouldering me harshly.

I turn my glare to her, praying that it would cause some damage.

“It’s fine.

Excuse us, Noel.” Aiden said without emotion, waving a hand casually before placing them in his front pockets.

He seems unfazed by my anger and it irks me.

I want to throttle him and probably kick him where the sun doesn’t shine.

But I hold in my anger until Noel is out of the door and we were the only two left in the room.

As soon as the door closes behind her, I turn my furious gaze to the ‘Ceo
He still looks unfazed by my anger and that resulted in me taking a step forward.

“What makes you think you have a say in what I want to do Mr Xavier? I want to resign from my post, and I’m going to do it whether you like it or not I took another step forward when he leaned on his desk, crossing his ankles and crossing his arms over his chest Aiden’s stormy gaze sweeps over my body, lingering on my lips that tingled.

“That’s not happening.” He said coldly I blanched in shock.

Was he really going to keep me here against my will?
What the hell was his problem? “You’re threatening an innocent man just to get your way.

What you’re doing is wrong, you can’t keep me here against my will.

This is preposterous!” I huffed, flinging my arms out in frustration
Aiden’s brow lifts and he looks at me with a tiny gleam of amusement that had me gritting my teeth.

Was this some kind of entertainment to him? Was some kind of joke?
| slammed my heels on the floor, and sure it was childish to do so, but I wanted my frustration to come across.

“You’re unbelievable.” I shook my head.

What would it take for his composure to crumble? Aiden lifted one of his shoulders in a barely there shrug, the corner of his mouth lifting.
