The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 64

Aiden’s pov

“What is it?” I hissed under my breath and turned my back to face Sophie.

“Is that anyway to speak to your grandfather? I know your parents did not raise you right

“Leave my parents out of this Sergio. What are you calling for?” I hissed and run my fingers through my hair.

This man knew how to hit my nerves and get me irritated and furious. I suspected he enjoyed getting on my nerves. It was a game to him.

“I called the office. You didn’t pick up.” He said in his usual cold tone.

I rolled my eyes. “Because I wasn’t there. What did you need Sergio? I’m busy at the moment.”

Having Ashton in my arms felt like home. It felt like a piece of the missing puzzle I was missing in my heart. I was missing another and I knew where I could find that other.

I just didn’t know I could forgive her just yet. Not when I’m so angry at her for what she did.

“Where are you?” Sergio asked with unmistakable tightness in his voice.

“Are you with one of your whores parading around and making those damn paparazzi catch you in the act?” He seethed and I could just picture him glaring at a blank wall, hoping that that wall could magically catch on fire

“My whereabouts are none of your concern Sergio. But to put your old mind at ease, no I’m not up to my usual. I’m sure you’re happy about that.” I uttered coldly while squeezing the phone in a death like grip.

“Ecstatic grandson.” He said sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes when I caught his sarcastic tone.

“Sergio you really caught me at the wrong time. ” I said with impatience on my tongue.

“One hundred and fifty.” Sergio grumbles on the other line.

My brows furrowed. “What?”

“One hundred and fifty employees Aiden! You fired one hundred and fifty!? What the hell were you thinking?” He hissed through the other line.

I smirked, well took him long enough. I thought he’d never call to blast my ear off about this decision of mine.

“Employees that held no importance,” I said casually. “I did the company a favor by letting go of the weak spots.”

“Do you know what those business blogs are writing online about your decision? They’re calling it a poor choice and that you might just make the company go bankrupt if you keep at it.”

“Thought those blogs focused more on my sex life than my business…..hmmm who would’ve thought this would move them off my ass,” I said sarcastically.

“Aiden this is no time to jester around. Those blogs have recently pinned you under their attention for months now. You have to be careful with what you do or you’ll run the company down

“Clearly those blogs don’t get their facts right. I sealed a five million deal yesterday, I don’t think the company will be on the verge of going into bankruptcy by me just cleansing the unimportant employees. “I cut him off with my cool cold tone.

“You clearly can’t see the big picture Aiden. Having those blogs on your side and saying good things about you will boost the company’s reputation and yours.” Sergio grumbles.

“I don’t need to be on their side Sergio. Those blogs are nothing but pests.” I gritted out.

“Your head is as hard as your mother’s.” Sergio sighed in frustration.

“Don’t talk about my mother Sergio,” I warned, getting ready to defend her if needed

Sergio sighed on the other end and mumbled. “I’ll be sending Derek to the office to collect those data files I told you to print out. Have you finished them?”

I popped my jaw. I have been so damn focused on everything Sophie and now everything Sophie and Ashton that I completely forgot about Sergio’s request.

I pinched the skin between my eyes and let out a frustrated breath. “I’m on my way to the office now. It will be ready in twenty minutes.” I said and hung up the phone.

Whipping around, I walk back over to Sophie and Ashton.

Sophie’s pov

I gritted my teeth. “I don’t need to get to the office Aiden. I left the job remember?”

Aiden only rolls his eyes.

AL

“I didn’t accept the letter remember?” He said cooly, a tiny irritating grin curling on his tempting lips.
