Free The Words He Wanted To Hear (The Billionaire's Baby) Book 1 by Helen Cooper Page A

to remember I’m sure.” She checked the latest text message from her Aunt and smiled. “And it will allow my Uncle and Aunt to go on that cruise that they have been talking about for years.”
     
    “Yay. I am soo excited. Let’s go shopping tomorrow. We only have a few days left until Christmas. I hope Maxwell talks my parents into buying me a new car.”
     
    “I doubt it.” Sophie laughed. “Not after you totaled the last 3.”
     
    “It wasn’t my fault.” Ella pouted.
     
    “3 Mercedes totaled in 3 months is your fault!”
     
    “Stop you start up as well Sophie. Wouldn’t you rather be driving right now, than in this stuffy train?”
     
    “Not really.” Sophie laughed, happy that she didn’t have to drive with crazy Ella. She was scared for her life every time she got in a car with her friend. “But hey, I never have enough money saved for a car so maybe you can drive with me.”
     
    “Oh Sophie, that’s great.” Ella smiled at her friend. “That will be awesome.”
     
    “I know it won’t be a Mercedes but it will still be 4 wheels.” Sophie beamed at her friend. One of the things she loved about Ella was that she didn’t judge her because she didn’t have as much money as her friend. Her Uncle and Aunt had been able to send her to boarding school because of the insurance money and she had gotten a scholarship to college. The $3000 she had in her account was from her part time job working at a pet shop and she was looking forward to buying the 2004 Toyota Corolla that her professor was going to sell her.
     
    “A car is a car. Soon we will be college graduates and we will be able to travel the country at our will.” Ella squealed with excitement.
     
    “Well, I don’t know about that.” Sophie frowned at her friend. “You know I’m looking for a job. If I want to stay in the City, I need to have an income coming in.”
     
    “Yeah, yeah.” Ella looked down at her phone. Jobs meant nothing to her. Having grown up in a family that was in the Forbes top 100 richest families in the country, Ella had never had to worry about things like money and jobs. “You should just ask Maxwell to hire you as an executive in one of our companies, then you won’t have to worry so much.”
     
    “I can’t do that.” Sophie smiled at her friend and sighed. She would love to work for Maxwell, it would be heavenly to see his face everyday and to smell and touch him. “Anyways Maxwell would never want to hire me.”
     
    “Yes he would. He knows how smart you are.” Ella grins at her friend. “Do you know how many times he has told me that he wishes you were his sister instead?”
     
    “Yeah, you told me.” Sophie faked a smile and tried to keep her disappointment to herself. She didn’t want Maxwell to see her as a sister; she wanted him to see her as a sex God and lust after her. She wanted him to push her into a room and ravish her quickly before Ella came down the stairs. She wanted them to have romps in the car and in the fields and laugh at how naughty they were. But no, all Maxwell did is peck her on the cheek and talk about what a good friend she was to his sister before he hit the town and had fun with a bunch of other girls. The last time Sophie had stayed over at the Van Harkel’s she had seen Maxwell making out with a girl in the garage. He had seen her peaking at him and had winked at her before he had continued ravishing the beautiful blond and Sophie had gone to her room and cried. She had managed to skip going with Ella for over a year now but hadn’t managed to bail out of this visit. It was the last Christmas that they would be in school and Ella had managed to emotionally blackmail her into coming.
     
    “Sometimes I think he likes you more than he likes me.” Ella grinned and with her blue eyes sparkling Sophie knew she was just kidding.
     
    “Well, he knows I can cook a better pie.”
     
    “Ooh, does that mean you will make one for Christmas? I’m sure Mrs. D
