The Girl He Craves

The Girl He Craves By Demiah13 Chapter 30

Sophie’s pov

I’m completely stunned.

Bernard had a huge position at his workplace. As I recall, he mentioned being the CFO of Harrington.co. A company worth billions.

It was already shocking that he, a high and successful man would come here every day, in this small run-down diner. But it’s even more shocking that he was asking me to fill in the shoes of his secretary

I was well aware that I didn’t have the qualifications for that kind of job. Especially for such a huge well-known company.

Topened my mouth and then closed it, unsure of how to respond to him.

Seeing my stunned expression, Bernard continues. “Before you say no, I just want to men tion that if you do decide to take the job, you’ll be sitting on a hundred thousand dollars annually. That will be enough to give a better life for you and Ash Sophie. Just think about it okay?”

This was a huge opportunity, it really was. But what about the people who actually deserved this opportunity and had the qualifications for it? Was that not snubbing them of this opportunity that could change their lives to?

“Aren’t there others waiting in line for this opportunity Bernard?” Ignawed on my lips and slid into the chair mirroring his.

I prayed Ressa won’t notice me ‘sitting’ on the job.

Bernard shook his head. “No. I never sent out word that I was in need of a new secretary. I left this empty spot for you specifically Sophie.” He reaches over and squeezes my hand that was on the table.

“I’ve noticed your tired eyes and I’ve seen how stressed you’ve been lately. I want to help you, Sophie. I want to help both you and Ash. Alice will help you with everything on what to do before she leaves. That is, if you do agree?” His eyes shine with hope.

Above eight thousand a month sounds really good. I could give Ash a better life. But at what cost?

“I don’t know Bernard…” I trailed off. What if I wasn’t cut out for the job?

Bernard sighs. “Just think about it okay? Here.” Bernard pulls a red pen from his pocket and grabs the napkin I had given him. He jots down an address I wasn’t familiar with.

“If you agree. Just come here at eight or before eight. There’s a woman at the front desk named Becca, she’ll send you right up to me.” He slides me the napkin and rises from the chair.

My brows furrowed when I noticed he hadn’t taken a bite of anything. “Aren’t you going to eat anything?” I asked.

He looked down at the donuts and coffee. “As much as I want to finish those, I don’t think I have time to today. If you don’t mind, can you bag them all to go, please?”

I nodded, sliding off the chair. “Sure,” I said and went to do just that. When I got back, I hand ed him the two paper bags and his black coffee in a foam cup.

Bernard gives me a thankful smile while taking his order from my grasp. “Thank you Sophie. And please, think about it okay? At least before Alice leaves?” He chuckles lowly and we say our goodbyes before he leaves.

I roller skated to the front counter, saying excuse me as I swing around the corner and head ed to the back where I was sure Mila was.

When she sees me she grins. “I got a guy’s phone number. He was hot.” She pinched the card between her fingers.

I raised a brow and slow down before I reach her. “Are you even going to call?”

She snorted throwing the card to Skyper, one of the other waitresses. “Here you go skyp. He’s hot. But I’d be careful. Sometimes the hot ones are the bad guys.” She warned.

Mila was never one to care for going on dates and all that kind of stuff. She was more so as that one friend who would rather marry herself.
