Sophie’s pov
My fingers tremble as I dialed Mila’s number. She was probably already on her shift but right now I wasn’t thinking clearly.
I brought the phone to my ears and lifted my thumb to my mouth to bite on my nails. Anxiety was eating me alive right now, and I needed to hear a familiar voice to ease me and hold me down to reality. Because right now, I was convinced that this was a crazy dream and that I hadn’t actually seen Aiden.
Because there was no way in hell Aiden would ever ignore me after all those years. He would at least want to give me a piece of his mind or at least say my name, right?
Why was I even frustrated that he hadn’t acknowledged me?
I groaned and chewed on my nails. This really was a bad habit I should stop.
Mila answers on the fourth ring. “You caught me on a bad time Soph
“Sorry. I uh-I think I just saw Aiden Mila.” I breathed out in a rush as an image of Aiden in the elevator with me pushes into my mind.

Lisa smiled politely and outstretched her hand over the desk. “I’m Lisa, Bernard’s PA. Wel come to Harrington.co. I had meant to greet you earlier but you looked out of it.”
| smiled awkwardly and took her hand in mine. She shakes my hand firmly. “I’m Sophie. Bernard’s new secretary. Sorry about earlier, I thought I just saw…
I trailed off unsure of what to say without sounding crazy.
“I thought I saw a ghost.”
Really Sophie? A ghost doesn’t make you sound crazy at all. My conscious mocked me sar castically.
I wanted to groan out loud. I must sound like a complete nut job right now.
Lisa’s brows furrowed but she doesn’t push me to elaborate. Instead, she changes the sub ject, which I was more than grateful for.
