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?

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.
