Yes Aiden. Fuck indeed.
You’ve royally screwed us both and it seems for the first time you’ve now noticed your wrongs.
“I didn’t have time to think of another solution Sophie. You were the only option. It was either you or get dragged into settling down with a woman I don’t love just for the sake of the company.” He grumbles.
I shook my head and clapped my hand lightly. “Wow Aiden Xavier, the big bad blue eyed devil didn’t have other so- lutions to unscrew himself and decided to pull his child’s mother in his mess too.” Aiden glared at me in annoyance.
the truth Sophie. I didn’t have a choice-
You know that’s not
I held my palm up and shook my head. “No Aiden. That’s where you’re wrong. You always have a choice but you never choose right. Can’t you see this will only benefit you? Your reputation will be clean while mine, God knows what they’ll say about me especially when they find out about my back- ground. “
I laughed dryly as I cracked. “Just imagine their reaction when they find out I got pregnant as a teenager. And imagine their faces when they know that I got pregnant fby you. What would you do then Aiden? What would you tell them? And what if they dig so much they find about-
I stopped my heart growing heavy. I hate thinking about Carson. I always feel sick to my stomach.
Aiden’s gaze grow cold as if knowing what I was about to say. He probably did.
“They don’t have to know about your past Sophie. There are ways I can hide them from the public eye. The same way I hid that I served jail time for a crime I did not commit.” He said in a cold voice that lacked emotion.
“Then why don’t you hide your playboy ways from the public eye Aiden instead of thinking about this absurd idea?!” I huffed.
No wonder there were no records of his past in high school when I searched online. He cleaned out his records.
Aiden snorted and leaned back in the chair. “You see So- phie, I can hide what the public eye has no knowledge of, but I can’t hide something they’ve seen already. I was quick to clean off my record before I turned Ceo. Before they even knew the name Aiden Xavier.”Sophie’s pov
I shook my head.
He wasn’t getting it.
This was far too dangerous. We can’t go through with this.
“It wouldn’t matter if you scrap everything about me Aiden. It wouldn’t leave out the fact that we have a son to- gether. They will piece together everything and will know that I was a teen mother. What am I suppose to say when they ask why Ashton was never seen with you?” I threw up my hands in exasperation.
“Would this not ruin your reputation? Will this not-
He cuts me off.” Then we come up with a plan to make him known to the public on our terms.”
I rise to my feet, breathing out fire. “My son will not be in some gossip tabloids Aiden! I don’t want that kind of life for him!”
Aiden’s gaze turned stormy, he was angry. “He’s my son too Sophie! I’m a CEO, the richest in New York. Every tabloid hangs off on every word I say, every move I make. It wouldn’t be long until they find out about him. He will be in the public eye no matter how much we fight this.”
I’m seething. Angry. Furious at his words.
I knew he was right but I didn’t want him to be.
“Over my dead body Aiden. Our son will have a normal life. And for your information I will not agree to be your fake fiance. You go down that rabbit hole yourself. I’ll not be doomed along with you.” I hissed and stormed my way out of his office, slamming the door on my way out.
I don’t care if he’s my boss or not. He should never have placed me in such a position that I was too dumbfounded to know better.
I ruffled my hair, not even caring that I was messing it up. Damn him for putting me in this position.
What did I expect anyway? This was Aiden we were talk- ing about.
The guy only thinks for himself and what would benefit him, not caring about the other people he’ll put in the cross-fire.
For the next hour or so I’m doing my best to work effi- ciently. But my mind keep straying to the huge problem Aiden and I was about to face.
I pretended to be his fiance in front of his grandfather who was a powerful man. What would happen when he finds out we lied?
I rubbed my forehead and sighed.
If I could rip Aiden a new one I’d do it in a heartbeat.
“What are you still doing seated?” Aiden’s voice grumbles above me.
I snapped my head up. I was slouched and had my fore-
head on my opened palm as I thought of possible ways to get out of this situation.
I didn’t even pick up on his footsteps.
I winced and straightened my spine.
Is he going to be that boss who’s uptight and rude when they find their employees slacking off?
Especially with the way I blasted him in his office earlier.
“Sorry. Was deep-
Aiden cuts in before I am done making up an excuse.” We need to be on our way to that interview.” He lifts his hand, his eyes falling on his watch around his wrist. “We should get. there in the next thirty minutes or so.”
My brows knot. Am I missing something?
“If you don’t mind me asking Aiden. But what interview are we heading to? And why do I need to tag along?”
Are secretaries allowed to even tag along with their boss for interviews?
Aiden looks at me like I have grown a second head.
“My PA isn’t here yet so that leaves you to be the one to take her place for now. Also did you not read the file I gave you yesterday? It clearly stated everything I have to do today and the rest of the week.” He said with a slight shake of his head before his eyes narrowed down on me.
“If you’ve already forgotten about that, I imagine you’ve forgotten that you’re supposed to bring along optional suits for me to wear for the said interview?” His eyes flash in amusement.
My eyes widen.
I was?
Aiden chuckles when he sees my expression and pulls out his phone from his pocket.
He dials a number and then places the phone to his ear. “Olivia, would you please send suits-
He walks away leaving me a bit angry that he was calling Olivia instead of just giving me the numbers for the stores. I could call them too Aiden!
I glared at his back only for him to catch me in the act when he turns around to lift his brows. “Aren’t you tagging along mama bear?”
I nod, standing up.
“Oh and bring that file along. You need a bit more study- ing it seems.” He said with a teasing smirk plastered on his face.
I glared at him and he chuckled, turned around and con- tinued to speak on the phone with this Olivia woman.
“It seems you pick your days when you want to be a devil Aiden,” I gritted while taking the bag and following after him.
If he thinks I’ll bring that file he had another thing coming.
“Mr. Xavier!” A woman with a head-worn condenser mi- crophone shouts and glasses shouts across the room, waving her hand to catch Aiden’s attention.
