The Girl He Craves

Aiden’s pov

“What is it?” I hissed under my breath and turned my back to face Sophie.

“Is that anyway to speak to your grandfather? I know your parents did not raise you right

“Leave my parents out of this Sergio. What are you calling for?” I hissed and run my fingers through my hair.

This man knew how to hit my nerves and get me irritated and furious. I suspected he enjoyed getting on my nerves. It was a game to him.

“I called the office. You didn’t pick up.” He said in his usual cold tone.

I rolled my eyes. “Because I wasn’t there. What did you need Sergio? I’m busy at the moment.”

Having Ashton in my arms felt like home. It felt like a piece of the missing puzzle I was missing in my heart. I was missing another and I knew where I could find that other.

I just didn’t know I could forgive her just yet. Not when I’m so angry at her for what she did.

“Where are you?” Sergio asked with unmistakable tightness in his voice.

“Are you with one of your w**es parading around and making those d**n pa***zi catch you in the act?” He seethed and I could just picture him glaring at a blank wall, hoping that that wall could magically catch on fire

“My whereabouts are none of your concern Sergio. But to put your old mind at ease, no I’m not up to my usual. I’m sure you’re happy about that.” I uttered coldly while squeezing the phone in a death like grip.

“Ecstatic grandson.” He said sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes when I caught his sarcastic tone.

“Sergio you really caught me at the wrong time. ” I said with impatience on my tongue.

“One hundred and fifty.” Sergio grumbles on the other line.

My brows furrowed. “What?”

“One hundred and fifty employees Aiden! You fired one hundred and fifty!? What the hell were you thinking?” He hissed through the other line.

I smirked, well took him long enough. I thought he’d never call to blast my ear off about this decision of mine.

“Employees that held no importance,” I said casually. “I did the company a favor by letting go of the weak spots.”
