The Girl He Craves

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Sophie’s pov

Fifty-five employees.

In the ten minutes we were here, Aiden has managed to boot fifty-five employees.

I was still stunned by the number and yes I was counting, who wouldn’t when every second there’s an employee standing up and making that walk of shame out of the room?

He was ruthless. Extremely ruthless. And scary.

He was way worst than how he was in high school.

I gulped. To fire fifty-five employees without batting a lash was crazy. Aiden had grown cold.

But that shouldn’t have been a shocker. This was Aiden after all.

The woman beside me suddenly stands up and I look over at her in confusion until I realize that she had just been fired. The mist of incoming tears in her eyes said as much.

She quickly hurried out of the room, her gaze lowered and her shoulders hunched.

Aiden was cruel.

“Oh crap,” Lisa whispered with a pitch of fear in her voice. One that had my stomach churn ing.

I turn to face her, my eyes a bit wide. “What is it?”

Had they fired her too and I had not heard?

“He’s looking at you.” She whispered, wincing.

I froze, my stomach churning even more. Was about to say goodbye to ten thousand dol lars a month?

I slowly brought my gaze forward and sure enough, Aiden had his intense gaze on me. Such a stormy blue. Those blue eyes I fell in love with. The same blue our son shared.

His eyes turned furious but he was quick to place on a veil that had everyone fooled. But ! saw right through him. He was furious at me.

I held my breath, waiting for him to just pull the rug beneath my feet again and fire me. He was the Ceo after all and even though I was technically working as Bernard’s secretary, I was still Aiden’s employee.

He could do whatever he wanted.

My lungs burned as I held my breath but I don’t let it go until Aiden surprises me by tearing his gaze away and focussing those stormy blues on someone else behind.

I was too busy pulling the air into my lungs to even care to look behind me to see who unfor tunately was misiled with his darkened gaze,

He fired the poor man who cried and begged to keep his job. Aiden wasn’t having it and had two bulky security men escort the wailing man out of the building.

Aiden was as cruel as they said he was. He really was the blue eyed devil.

“This was the most intense staff meeting I’ve ever been in. And he fired a hundred and twen ty-two employees in one day! That’s a new record even for him.” Lisa sighed as soon as the ele vator doors close behind us.

I nodded agreeing with her completely. Aiden was like a cold monster, firing people left and right.

He didn’t even seem to care that half of these people were begging him to keep them be cause they had kids to feed. Every single one of those people he fired today had a family, I was sure.
