    Chapter 41


    Sophie’s pov


    : I smiled at the woman beside me as I sat down on the chair beside hers. She smiles politely back


    even though she didn’t know me.


    Lisa sits to my right and sighed. “I’m nervous.” She admitted, her feet bouncing on the floor.


    I noticed everyone was on edge as I scan my eyes through the crowd of people waiting for this CEO to

    show up.


    Was the CEO that bad?


    “Is he that bad? The CEO I mean?” I asked, turning to her. If everyone was so on edge, I can’t help but


    feel like I should be nervous too.


    Maybe I should be shitting my pants right now.


    Lisa nods. “Oh yeah. He wasn’t named the blue-eyed devil for nothing. He’s the Chairman’s grandson


    and when he took over thepany everyone thought that finally, they wouldn’t have to work under a


    hard and cold man anymore. Turns out that he was even worst than his grandfa ther. Bummer because


    he’s so young and handsome. Makes one wonder what he went through to turn out like that.”


    Blue-eyed devil?


    Well, that was surely a name to set fear into someone.


    I gulped. If he acted like the devil they named him as then I did have to fear.


    “He sounds….


    I drawled out.


    “Scary I know.” Lisa nods. “Even though he’s so cold, women still flock towards him. I mean if you saw


    that face and body, you’d be too.”


    I highly doubt it. Men are thest thing on my mind right now and the only male that was, was my little


    Ash bug, And Aiden. But that was because I couldn’t stop thinking about him when our son was his


    exact replica.


    Speaking of…


    I scan my eyes over the mass of heads around me in search of him. There were no signs of him. I


    puffed out an annoyed breath.


    It wasn’t him Sophie. Just your mind ying tricks on you.


    “But I should warn you. Don’t let those good looks fool you. He’s a womanizer and rumor has it that the


    chairman is fed up with his womanizing ways.” Lisa snorted. “I think he slept with most of his


    secretaries and most women working here…well excluding me of course.”


    Wow, that CEO sounds like a piece of work and disgusting.


    “How young is he?” I asked out of curiosity.


    Lisa’s eyes narrowed. “He should be in his early twenties. I heard he likes to keep his past a secret. No


    one knows anything about him personally.”


    I furrowed my brows. The more she describes this guy, the more I feel repulsed and con fused. He was


    a womanizer yet private? Could he be any more cliché?


    Bernard waves at us as he makes his way to the front row. We waved back. “I thank God ev ery day


    that I got Bernard as my boss instead of working as the CEO’s PA. His current one is un der a lot of


    stress. He doesn’t even care that she’s sick.”


    “Wow. He sounds like an awful human being.” | nodded, already making up my mind that hated this


    man.


    Lisa nods. “Yeah, but at least his looks make up for it.” She snorted with a giggle.


    I smiled. “I don’t think his looks will save him. If he’s an awful person from the inside then it will show


    from the outside.”


    Lisa suddenly breathed out. “Oh God, he’s here.”


    My brows clench. Judgment day has arrived. God was here?


    “God’s here?” I voiced out. My Ash bug


    Lisa shook her head. “No I meant to say the CEO is here. Look. He’s making his way to the stage.” She


    nudges her head to the left and I quickly follow her gaze. Only for the air to get stuck in my lungs.


    My heart ms in my chest harshly.


    “Aiden?” I breathed out.


    “Yeah, Aiden Xavier. Do you know him personally? If you don’t, I’d suggest you to not call him by his


    first name, he doesn’t like it and it’s unprofessional.” Lisa suggested.


    I started but I can’t even think properly much less speak. Was this a joke?


    Oh God, I was hallucinating again.


    There was no way Aiden was the Ceo of Harrington.co. How was this even possible?


    “Is he- uhm- is he the CEO?” I breathed out shakily as I watched him walk to the stage with powerful


    strides.


    He looked so good.


    My lower belly swirls with heat despite knowing I shouldn’t be feeling such a way in a crowd ed area.


    “In the flesh. But as I said, don’t make his handsome features fool you, he’s a womanizer and sleeps


    around. I don’t want you to be his next victim so you should stay clear of him.” Lisa warned.


    Oh Lisa, if only you knew how much of a victim I had been to his charms. I even have a full lit tle


    human to show for it.


    I shook my head. Reality was biting me in the ass and I didn’t quite like it.


    Aiden walks up the steps leading to the stage and strolled slowly to the front. His hands were in the


    front pockets of his expensive pants and his eyes were cold, freezing everyone in the room.


    But as if like mas, those blue storms swept over to me and connected with mine. I held my breath


    and squirmed in the seat at the intensity of his gaze.
