Chapter 54 Alexander Harris?

Christian had just picked up his usual coffee order from his favorite coffee shop when his gaze fell upon Claire entering Metacuctes building across the street.

He frowned, his curiosity piqued by the sight of Claire making repeated visits to the same building. It wasn't the first time he had seen her here. Deciding to satisfy his curiosity, Christian crossed the street and followed Claire inside the building. As he entered, he made his way to the receptiomat "Pacuse me," Christian began politely, addressing the receptionist. "Do you know Claire? I believe she works here.

The receptionist smiled politely, her professional demeanor evident. "Do you have an appointment with her, sir?":

Christian shook his head. "No, I don't

"I'm sorry, sir, but we can't disclose details about our employees due to company policies," the receptionist explained apologetically.

Unbothered by the rejection, Christian requested a visitor cand. "I just want to meet with a friend," he explained, hoping to bypass the strict protocol

The receptionist hesitated, clearly hesitant to grant his request without a valid reason related to the company.

'sit, if you don't have as appointment or business-related matters, I'm afraid I can't issue a visitor card,"

Christian's patience wore thin, and he sighed in frustration. "I just need to see Claire. It's personal"

The receptionist's expression softened slightly, but she remained firm. "understand, sr, but without an appointment..."

Christian cut her off, growing increasingly annoyed, "I don't need an appointment to see my friend," he insisted, his tone a mix of frustration and determination After some back-and-forth person, the receptionist reied and issued Christian visitor card. With a nod of thanks, Christian beaded to the elevator, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Inside the elevator, Christian realized he didn't know which floor Claire's office was on. Taling a chance, he pressed the button for the highest floor, hoping to get bucky.

As the elevator doors opened on the top floor, Christian stepped out, his eyes scanning the unfamiliar surroundings.
