Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 68

After he left, Sophia endured the pain in her leg and got out of the hospital bed. She put on her clothes and took a cab to Harris Corporation.

Even if their parents went to the police station, the policemen would not let him go easily as long as Charles was involved. She had to look for him.

It was six o’clock in the evening. It would be almost six- forty when she arrived. Charles was a workaholic, so he should still be in the company at this time.

Sophia arrived at Harris Corporation, and as soon as she entered, she was stopped by the front desk staff. “I’m sorry, Miss. That elevator’s only reserved for the CEO, so you can’t ride it.”

After Sophia turned her head, the staff found out that she was the infamous Ms. White from two years ago. She was slightly startled and looked a little embarrassed.

“I have something to ask from Mr. Harris. Can I just use it?” Everyone in Harris Corporation knew of her. She used to use the elevator to go straight to meet him. It was an old habit that she did not get a chance to fix.

The staff sneered. “Do you have an appointment?”

“... No.” As she saw the reflection of her red swollen face in the staff’s pupils, Sophia used her hair to cover up her red cheek as much as possible.

“Then, I can’t let you.” The staff coughed dryly. “How about you make an appointment with Mr. Harris first and come again?”

It was merely a polite remark. The employees of the Harris Corporation knew that the relationship between Mr. Harris and Mr. White had turned sour because of Ms. Jones.

Sophia held onto the corner of her shirt. She did not expect that it would be hard to see him. She loosed the corners of her clothes. “Can you please tell Mr. Harris that I’m here?”

The staff had a formulaic smile on their faces, but their eyes were full of resistance. Mr. Harris had such a bad relationship with Sophia. If they called to ask, would they not be scolded very severely?

“Please.” Sophia pleaded.

“... Alright, wait here for a while. I’ll call someone from the secretary’s office.” The staff walked to the front desk, looking back from time to time for fear that she would enter the password and get on the elevator.

Sophia did not plan on doing that at all. Even if she entered the elevator’s password, the security would drag her down anyway. Furthermore, it would upset Charles even more, so it was better to wait there patiently.

“Mr. Harris said to let you go up.” The front desk staff came over with a look of disbelief.

Sophia had not placed much hope either, so she was stunned for a while. Then, she nodded and went to enter the password.

The entire password pad turned red as the password was wrong.

She was shocked as her eyes grew wider. It felt like her heart had been stung by a bee. It was painful and numb.

Did Charles change the password to protect himself from her?

“I’ll do it.” The scene was a little embarrassing, and the staff smirked as she stepped forward to enter the password. Then, she stepped aside. “Please, Ms. White.”

“Thank you.” Sophia pursed her lips and got on the elevator. She stopped on the 36th floor and went to the CEO’s office.

In the office, Charles was wearing a white shirt and was sitting on his office chair. His sleeves were slightly rolled, revealing his beautiful forearms.

He lowered his head as he looked at the report in his hand.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was standing at the desk, reporting something to him. He stopped when Sophia came in.

“Go on.” After he asked her to come in, Charles ignored Sophia and did not even glance at her.

Sophia’s leg hurts so much that she could no longer hold it, but she did not dare to sit without getting his permission beforehand.

In fact, even if he told her to sit, she might not dare to sit down.
