The Girl He Craves

Chapter 44

Sophie’s pov When I ordered a cup of coffee the woman serving me looked at me a bit strangely.

Was it weird that I felt for coffee at this hour? I mean people usually drank coffee in the morning but it wasn’t that crazy to see someone drink coffee at noon.

But maybe it wasn’t weird to me because I worked at a diner where most customers or dered coffee at any time of the day.

“Thank you.” I thanked the woman as I try to hold the box of donuts, the box of cupcakes, and the two cups of black coffee in my arms. It was a bit of a struggle to fit them all but I man aged.

I was heading back to the office, I saw no point in staying in the staff canteen when I had to drop off stuff for Lisa and Bernard.

I tilted my head slightly away from the pile in my arms so I could see where I was heading off to. On the way to the elevator, I got stopped by Gregg. I didn’t want to be impolite so I stopped to talk to him.

“Sophie right?” He feigned a look of confusion as his eyes roamed over me.

His lips quirked into a smirk that didn’t quite suit his innocent baby face. Then again, that guy didn’t seem the least bit innocent.

I nodded, wanting to tell him that I was currently struggling under the weight of the stuff in my arms so I needed to go. But me being the nice person that I am, I bit my tongue and stayed quiet.

“You look breathtaking today,” Gregg smirked. He was flirting, well trying to, that much was obvious.

“Thank you Gregg, you don’t look too dashing. I mean too bad yourself.” | giggled in embar rassment.

Gregg chuckled. “I get that a lot. Hey, do you by any chance have any free time to grab din ner or lunch tomorrow
