Chapter 186 - First quarrel (2) (1/2)
He wanted to stand up and say that it's not what it looks like, but then remembered that they are at work, and he should stay professional... so he only awkwardly smiled and gave a slight nod.
Sophia's cold expression became dark. She glanced at the food in front of him. ”When you are done, come to my office.” She turned around and left while four people followed behind her.
Women resumed their chatting as soon as Sophia left. Felix completely ignored them, he didn't finish his meal before standing up and heading to Sophia's office.
Before he knocked on Sophia's office door, secretary stopped him. ”CEO is in a meeting. She said that no one is to disturb her.”
Felix smiled. ”She told me to come after lunch.”
”And she told me to call security if anyone wants to enter without an appointment.” Secretary responded.
Felix obviously didn't want to cause a scene and he stepped away from the door of Sophia's office. But he was lost. She told him to come, how come he can't enter? Why didn't she tell her secretary to let him in? ”Excuse me, when is CEO Hill free?”
Secretary looked at the computer screen in front of her. ”CEO Hill has meetings until 6 PM.”
He remembered that Sophia said she will give him Mark's slot in the afternoon. ”Does she have a meeting with Felix Martin today?”
”No.”
”How about meeting with Mark Neumann?” She probably forgot to change it. He will just show up at that time.
”No...” Then secretary remembered. ”There was one, but few minutes ago CEO told me to give that slot to director of marketing.”
Felix nodded to the secretary and headed toward the elevator with his head down. 'What happened? Is she avoiding me? Did I do something wrong? Is it because of those women around me during lunch? That is not my fault... they came by themselves, and I didn't encourage them.' Felix had a strong feeling that it was all caused by those pesky women during lunch. If Sophia gives him a chance to explain, he can clarify that they came by themselves, he didn't call them or give them any hint that he is interested.
As he walked towards the lab, thinking about how to talk to Sophia, he bumped into Mark.
Mark saw that Felix is in a bad mood. He could not miss this opportunity. ”What happened, pretty boy? Did you fall out of grace already?” Mark sneered at Felix.
Felix looked at him and frowned.
This only encouraged Mark who gave out a chuckle. ”You come and go... but she will always come back to me.” Mark sneered at Felix.
Felix wanted to punch Mark, forgetting that they are at work. He clenched his fists, but he felt that he had no strength in his arms. He was not able to form a fist with his hands. He lowered his head and continued walking. Ignoring all other remarks that Mark spat after him.
