The Girl He Craves

The Girl He Craves By Demiah13 Chapter 48

Sophie’s pov

I was nervous.

For Bernard’s reaction. I knew he would feel disappointed that I was leaving. Especially since I had no other reason to quit other than Aiden.

Ignawed on my lips as I approached the entryway of Harrington.co. I greeted the two buff security men and they greeted me back politely.

I was going to let that ten thousand dollars a month go today. I would only do the rest of the day and I won’t come back tomorrow.

I feel awful for leaving Bernard on such short notice but I knew that I just won’t be able to handle seeing Aiden anymore, especially with other women. I couldn’t handle being ignored by him.

I greeted everyone I passed before entering the lift. When I’m inside I let out the breath I didn’t know I was holding. Nerves bubbled in my stomach when the elevator door slides open. I step out and head to where I’m stationed.

Bernard mentioned being a little late today, so I wasn’t expecting him to be here yet. When I’m settled in my chair I take out the folder I had the resignation letter tucked in. I placed it neatly on the desk, my stomach knotting.

Was I really about to pass up this great opportunity to give Ashton a better life because his father was being a huge jerk and I couldn’t handle the pain of knowing that he had forgotten about me?

Wasl a bad mother for making this decision?

I sighed and rubbed my forehead.

If I do stay….Would I be able to handle seeing Aiden with other women? My stomach twisted. No. I wouldn’t

I shook my head, pressing my palm on my forehead. Why did Aiden have to be the Ceo of Harrington.co? In fact, why hadn’t I searched up Harrington.co before even agreeing to come here?

And what would I tell Bernard when he questions me on why I wanted to quit? I can’t exactly tell him that Alden and I had a past and I refuse to let it torment me even more.

“Uhh.” 1 groan and slammed my head on the desk. A little louder and harder than I had planned.

“Ouch that must’ve hurt.” A soft feminine voice said. I lift my head while rubbing the tender spot | had just abused on my forehead,

I smiled in embarrassment when Lisa smiled at me politely. “What made you want to do that to yourself?” She nudged her head to the desk.
