89 Sophieâs pov I shook my head.
He wasnât getting it.
This was far too dangerous. We canât go through with this.
âIt wouldnât matter if you scrap everything about me Aiden. It wouldnât leave out the fact that we have a son to- gether. They will piece together everything and will know that I was a teen mother. What am I suppose to say when they ask why Ashton was never seen with you?â I threw up my hands in exasperation.
âWould this not ruin your reputation? Will this not-
He cuts me off.â Then we come up with a plan to make him known to the public on our terms.ââ
I rise to my feet, breathing out fire. âMy son will not be in some gossip tabloids Aiden! I donât want that kind of life for him!â
Aidenâs gaze turned stormy, he was angry. âHeâs my son too Sophie! Iâm a CEO, the richest in New York. Every tabloid hangs off on every word I say, every move I make. It wouldnât be long until they find out about him. He will be in the public eye no matter how much we fight this.â
Iâm seething. Angry. Furious at his words.
I knew he was right but I didnât want him to be.
âOver my dead body Aiden. Our son will have a normal life. And for your information I will not agree to be your fake fiance. You go down that rabbit hole yourself. Iâll not be doomed along with you.â I hissed and stormed my way out of his office, slamming the door on my way out.
I donât care if heâs my boss or not. He should never have placed me in such a position that I was too dumbfounded to know better.
I ruffled my hair, not even caring that I was messing it up. Damn him for putting me in this position.
What did I expect anyway? This was Aiden we were talk- ing about.
The guy only thinks for himself and what would benefit him, not caring about the other people heâll put in the cross- fire.
For the next hour or so Iâm doing my best to work effi- ciently. But my mind keep straying to the huge problem Aiden and I was about to face.
I pretended to be his fiance in front of his grandfather who was a powerful man. What would happen when he finds out we lied?
I rubbed my forehead and sighed.
If I could rip Aiden a new one Iâd do it in a heartbeat.
âWhat are you still doing seated?â Aidenâs voice grumbles above me.
I snapped my head up. I was slouched and had my fore-
head on my opened palm as I thought of possible ways to get out of this situation.
I didnât even pick up on his footsteps.
I winced and straightened my spine.
Is he going to be that boss whoâs uptight and rude when they find their employees slacking off?
Especially with the way I blasted him in his office earlier.
âSorry. Was deep-
Aiden cuts in before I am done making up an excuse.â We need to be on our way to that interview.â He lifts his hand, his eyes falling on his watch around his wrist. âWe should get. there in the next thirty minutes or so.â
My brows knot. Am I missing something?
âIf you donât mind me asking Aiden. But what interview are we heading to? And why do I need to tag along?â
Are secretaries allowed to even tag along with their boss for interviews?
Aiden looks at me like I have grown a second head.
âMy PA isnât here yet so that leaves you to be the one to take her place for now. Also did you not read the file I gave you yesterday? It clearly stated everything I have to do today and the rest of the week.â He said with a slight shake of his head before his eyes narrowed down on me.
âIf youâve already forgotten about that, I imagine youâve forgotten that youâre supposed to bring along optional suits for me to wear for the said interview?â His eyes flash in amusement.
My eyes widen.
I was?
Aiden chuckles when he sees my expression and pulls out his phone from his pocket.
He dials a number and then places the phone to his ear. âOlivia, would you please send suits-
He walks away leaving me a bit angry that he was calling Olivia instead of just giving me the numbers for the stores. I could call them too Aiden!
I glared at his back only for him to catch me in the act when he turns around to lift his brows. âArenât you tagging along mama bear?â
I nod, standing up.
âOh and bring that file along. You need a bit more study- ing it seems.â He said with a teasing smirk plastered on his face.
I glared at him and he chuckled, turned around and con- tinued to speak on the phone with this Olivia woman.
âIt seems you pick your days when you want to be a devil Aiden,â I gritted while taking the bag and following after him.
If he thinks Iâll bring that file he had another thing coming.
âMr. Xavier!â A woman with a head-worn condenser mi- crophone shouts and glasses shouts across the room, waving her hand to catch Aidenâs attention.
Sheâs beaming with a look of awe as she rushes over to Aiden.
âMr. Xavier Iâve been asked to show you to your private changing room. Follow me.â She chirps after giving Aiden a very seductive look and completely ignores me like everyone else.
The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)
ï¤Chapter 88 As soon as we got on set, no one and I mean no one seem to acknowledge that I was standing beside Aiden. Everyone seemed to be so transfixed by him that youâd think he was some kind of God and not the blue-eyed devil his employees deem him to be.
The woman brought us to a private dressing room.
âSo you can wait here until the interviewer arrives. Sheâs running a bit late today. Thereâs water in the mini fridge and a few drinks. But it would be wise to stay clear-headed for your interview.â She chirps.
How can someone be so chirpy so early?
I mean it was eleven forty but it was way too early to be chirpy.
Or maybe youâre just angry because no one has yet to look at you and all those women are sending all these sugges- tive looks Aidenâs way.
âIâll see you soon Mr. Xavier.â The woman grins and then leaves soon after.

When she was gone, I glared at Aiden. You have them falling at your feet like dominoes.â
Aiden tugs on his tie as he settles himself on the chair in front of the mirror. He looks at me through his reflection in the mirror, his lips curving into a grin.
âAre you jealous mama bear?â
I snorted. âOf course not.â I denied.
He shakes his head and with a chuckle murmurs. âYou see you wouldnât have been if you agreed to be my fake fiance. At least then youâd have a right to tell them off.â He winks.
