Sophie’s pov
My stomach knots and my throat hurts. I swallowed the lump tickling in my throat and stared at his arrogant face.
He’s looking at me with a raised brow, his eyes growing confused when I hadn’t answered him right away.
Did he c*m inside her too?
Did he stare into her eyes like he did me?
Did he moan her name?
I tore my eyes away from him and cleared my throat while rising to my feet. “If you’ll excuse me I need to use the bath- room.”
I moved around the desk ready to walk away from him but fingers warm and long wrap around my upper arm and stopped me.
I keep my head away from his face, not wanting to look into the eyes I’ve drowned into many times.
His eyes are piercing through the side of my face and I hold in my shiver. I gnaw on my lips and waited with battered breath to
see what he would do or say next. With Aiden, things were a bit unpredictable.
He steps closer to me, his stomach brushing against my upper arm. I stiffen, my heart skyrocketing. “Sophie,” He breathed out
my name above my head.
His grip around my arm tightens. “What’s wrong?”
I clenched my eyes tightly, coaxing my heart to stop beat- ing so quickly for him, and then answered while peeling my
eyes open.
“Nothing. Nothing is wrong. I just need to use the bath-
room.”
I lied straight through my teeth and honestly I had a feel- ing Aiden knew that I was not telling the truth with the way his grip
around my arm turned even more firm.

“Sophie,” His tone has a warning to it. One I don’t take heed of and pull my arm out of his grasp. He doesn’t budge.
“Let me go,” I murmured lowly, my back to my neck filling with goosebumps when his head dips and his lips brush against my
ear.
“Not until you tell me what’s wrong with you.”
My stomach does many flips that had me almost queasy. His lips are still brushing my ear and his breath feathering against it.
Those goosebumps are in no rush to leave my skin.
I ground my teeth, clenching my eyes tightly while I prayed that I can get a hold of myself.
Suddenly the image of the red thong and the words writ- ten on the paper had me remembering why I shouldn’t be feeling this
way for him.
I breathed out through my nose and then peeled my eyes open. “There’s nothing wrong with me Aiden. Now let me go.”
His grip only hardens and he grumbles. “I know when something is wrong with you Sophie. Do you really think that I am a fool?”
I take a few seconds before answering with a nod. “Yes, I do take you as a fool. A really big one to be exact. Now if you don’t
want pee on your shiny marble floors, I would let go of me if I were you.”
Aiden sighed and after a few seconds peel his hand off me. I’m relieved because if he held me any longer, my heart and mind
would go back to fawning over his touch and soak- ing up in his heat.
I walked away with my head held high and my fist clench- ing at my sides. I didn’t even want to pee, this was a tactic to not talk
to him for longer than necessary.
I didn’t want to be in his presence right now when I was so d*mn angry with him when I know I shouldn’t be.
“You’re going the wrong way.” Aiden’s gruff voice mut- tered loud enough for me to hear him.
I stopped, clenching my eyes, and then peeled them. open. Turning to face Aiden I asked tightly. “Would you mind pointing me in
the right direction of the bathroom then Mr. Xavier?”
Aiden raises a brow when I called him Mr. Xavier and then nods stiffly. He gives me directions and I leave soon after.

When I am in the bathroom, I rush to the sink and open the faucet. I let the water run for a little and clench the edge of the
counter while staring at myself in the mirror.

Flashes of the red thong and the note bombard my mind
and I grit my teeth. “He hasn’t changed one bit.” I gritted out and cupped my hand under the running water and bend down to
throw it over my face.
When I was done, I stared at my reflection for G*d knows how long until I heard the faint sound of knuckles kissing the surface of
the door.
I closed the faucet and turned to the door when I heard his voice fluttering in. “Sophie. Are you okay in there?” Aiden asked with
a surprising hint of concern in his voice.
I cleared my throat a little and answered. “Yes. I’m fine.” I lied and looked at myself one last time in the mirror before walking
towards the door and pulled it open.
One of his arms is leaning against the doorframe while the other clutches a few papers. He’s leaning forward a little and not quite
expecting him to be so close had me taking a surprising step back.
His stormy gaze eyes me in curiosity. “You’ve been in here for quite some time Sophie. Are you sure you’re okay?”
I let out a breath. “G*d Aiden, yes I am fine,” I said and side step him.
“Clearly you’re not if you’re spending so long in the bath- room with the faucet open the entire time. And your eyes-
I whipped around and glared at him. “What do you want to hear Aiden? You want to hear that I am not okay? That I am not fine?
Is that what you want to hear!?” I snapped.
His jaw ticked and he approaches me.” I want to hear

what’s bothering you.”

My jaw clenched. “I’m not obligated to tell you anything. You’re my boss and not-
“I’m the father of your child Sophie. I think I need to know what has upset the mother of my child. Don’t you think?” He cuts me
off in an annoyed tone.
I shake my head. “And I’ve answered you already. I’m okay.”
Aiden snorted and glared at me in impatience. “And obvi- ously that’s a lie. Has anyone told you that you’re not a good liar?”
I narrowed my eyes and seeing as I wouldn’t win this bat- tle with him, I decided to leave before it escalates.
I throw my hands up and huffed out in irritation. “| thought we were done arguing for today?! Jeez, Aiden can we act professional
for once?”
I turned around to leave but again his fingers wrap around my hand and tug me back.
I gasp when he spins me around. His name is on the tip of my tongue, ready for me to tell him off when I felt his warm soft lips
capture mine.
