Aidenâs pov âWhat is it?â I hissed under my breath and turned my back to face Sophie.
âIs that anyway to speak to your grandfather? I know your parents did not raise you right âLeave my parents out of this Sergio. What are you calling for?â 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.
âI called the office. You didnât pick up.â He said in his usual cold tone.
I rolled my eyes. âBecause I wasnât there. What did you need Sergio? Iâm busy at the moment.â
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 didnât know I could forgive her just yet. Not when Iâm so angry at her for what she did.
âWhere are you?â Sergio asked with unmistakable tightness in his voice.
âAre you with one of your whores parading around and making those damn paparazzi catch you in the act?â He seethed and I could just picture him glaring at a blank wall, hoping that that wall could magically catch on fire âMy whereabouts are none of your concern Sergio. But to put your old mind at ease, no Iâm not up to my usual. Iâm sure youâre happy about that.â I uttered coldly while squeezing the phone in a death like grip.
âEcstatic grandson.â He said sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes when I caught his sarcastic tone.
âSergio you really caught me at the wrong time. â I said with impatience on my tongue.
âOne hundred and fifty.â Sergio grumbles on the other line.
My brows furrowed. âWhat?â
âOne hundred and fifty employees Aiden! You fired one hundred and fifty!? What the hell were you thinking?â He hissed through the other line.
I smirked, well took him long enough. I thought heâd never call to blast my ear off about this decision of mine.
âEmployees that held no importance,â I said casually. âI did the company a favor by letting go of the weak spots.â
âDo you know what those business blogs are writing online about your decision? Theyâre calling it a poor choice and that you might just make the company go bankrupt if you keep at it.â
âThought those blogs focused more on my sex life than my business.....hmmm who wouldâve thought this would move them off my ass,â I said sarcastically.
âAiden 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 youâll run the company down âClearly those blogs donât get their facts right. I sealed a five million deal yesterday, I donât think the company will be on the verge of going into bankruptcy by me just cleansing the unimportant employees. âI cut him off with my cool cold tone.
âYou clearly canât see the big picture Aiden. Having those blogs on your side and saying good things about you will boost the companyâs reputation and yours.â Sergio grumbles.
âI donât need to be on their side Sergio. Those blogs are nothing but pests.â I gritted out.
âYour head is as hard as your motherâs.â Sergio sighed in frustration.
âDonât talk about my mother Sergio,â I warned, getting ready to defend her if needed Sergio sighed on the other end and mumbled. âIâll be sending Derek to the office to collect those data files I told you to print out. Have you finished them?â
I popped my jaw. I have been so damn focused on everything Sophie and now everything Sophie and Ashton that I completely forgot about Sergioâs request.
I pinched the skin between my eyes and let out a frustrated breath. âIâm on my way to the office now. It will be ready in twenty minutes.â I said and hung up the phone.
Whipping around, I walk back over to Sophie and Ashton.
Sophieâs pov I gritted my teeth. âI donât need to get to the office Aiden. I left the job remember?â
Aiden only rolls his eyes.
AL âI didnât accept the letter remember?â He said cooly, a tiny irritating grin curling on his tempting lips.
39 650 âJust make sure you get ready on time Sophie.â He said tightly when he saw my pissed off glare.
He really thinks he can just enter my life and boss me around. Iâll show him.
âFine.â I nod, inwardly smirking at the idea of how Iâd avoid going to the office.
Aidenâs eyes narrow on my face before he shakes his head and rips his gaze from mine to focus on his son. âBe safe bud.â He whispers and then leaves a few seconds later.
Ashtonâs eyes are sad while staring at the door Aiden just departed from. âDada?â Ash pointed a finger at the door and my heart throbs.
Heâs sad that his dad left........
âYouâll see him soon bug. Come on letâs go back upstairs to eat some breakfast and then get ready for daycare.â I said, turning around to walk up the stairs.
Hopefully, Mila hadnât burnt the breakfast like the last time.
Aidenâs pov âGood morning sir.â Noel greeted me as I stormed toward my office.
âYouâre fired,â I said coldly as I walked past her with my head forward.
âI beg your pardon, Mr. Xavier?â Noel asked in shock while rising to her feet quickly âPack your stuff, I want you out before eight,â I said casually and a bit louder in case she hadnât heard me the first time.
âBut sir I opened the door and closed it behind me, silencing her voice.
I loosened my tie and let out a ragged breath. Today had already started on a stressful note.
I thought Sophie would be more grateful that I got rid of that death trap. But instead she really was fighting me on this. She even tore the paper...
âSheâll accept it. Iâll make her accept it.â I gritted out, glaring at my desk as I walked around it.
I had to admit that her defiance was hot. Especially with the way she fumed at me. Her face got a bit flushed when she was mad and it was sexy the way she glared at me...
I brushed my hand over my face in frustration. I canât believe Iâm getting a boner right now.
Her defiance was hot but also irritating as hell, I should also remember that.
Honestly, I didnât think sheâd put up much of a fight.
Sheâs changed. And I liked a challenge.
I smirked. Just wait until she hears the surprise I have for her when she gets here.
The door to my office thrust open and in comes a shocked Noel. âMr. Xavier I donât understand With my hands now on the desk, I gritted out. â What donât you understand Noel? Youâre fired.â
Her eyes widen and she takes a few steps forward, her face going red and eyes tearing up. âBut how, why? Sir 1 âI am no longer in need of your services. This has been long overdue.â I said casually while fixing my tie and sitting down on my leather chair.
âIâve been a loyal employee I rolled my eyes. Here we go again. Another whimpering employee trying to guilt trip me.
Sucking my cock once and she thinks sheâs important to me and the company Delusional woman.
âI already have your replacement Noel. Sheâs coming today and soon, so suggest you clean out your work area.â I said coldly and raised a brow at her. Sheâs crying and this does not affect me.

Noel glares at me and storms out of the office, leaving me rolling my eye at her tantrum.
Rubbing my fingers on my chin, I smirked.
Why hadnât I thought of this sooner?
