New beginning: Billionaire love story (Claire and Alex) novel Chapter 54

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. 

“Maybe I mistaken someone else for Claire.” He muttered to himerit. 

Just as he turned to leave, a familiar voice echoed down the hallway. Christian’s curiosity reignited, and he peeled around the comer, surprised to see Claire engaged in conversation with her secretary. 

“Maybe I did not mistaken her for someone else.” 

He did not expected to find claire on the top floor. 

Taking a deep breath, Christian decided to approach claire, has determination driving him forward. He walked down the hallway, his footsteps echoing softly on the polished floors. As he neared Claire and her secretary, he cleared his throat to announce his presence. 

“Claire.” 

Claire turned around, her eyes widening in surprise at seeing Christian inside the building. 

“Christian, how did you get in here?” she did, a hint of curiosity in her tone. 

Christian lifted up the visitor card he had used to gain access. Claire’s expression shifted from surprise to understanding as she mouthed an “oh” 

Tuming to her secretary, Sandra, Clay dismissed her with a nad. Then, tacing Christian, she gestured for him to follow her. 

“Come on, this way.” 

As they entered Claire’s office, Christian glanced around curiously. “Whose office is this?” he asked, taking in the elegant decor. 

Claire settled into her chair behind the desk at the center of the room. “This is my office,” she replied simply. 

Something dicked inside Christian’s mind, and he dropped the coffee cup he had been holding his expression a mix of shock and realization 

“Wait you are the CEO,” he excialmed. 

Clair sighed, confirming his observation with a nod. Sering the mess he had made, Christian quickly apologized and moved to clean it up, but Claire stopped him. Leave in will call someone to clean it up,” Clair sald dismissively, waving off his attempts. 

Curiosity burring in his eyes, Christian asked, “Why are you here? And how did you manage to keep it hidden for so long?” 

Claire considered his questions for a moment, unsure of how much to reveal. But seeing Christian’s genuine confusion, she decided to give him a brief explanation. “I got into an accident three years ago, lost my memory, then married Alex, she explained teisely, choosing not to delve deeper into the details. 

Christian still looked stunned, trying to process the information “Wow that was unexpected.” he remarked, nodding slowly. Then, cariosity got the better of him. “Why does Alex hate you so much?” 

claire rolled her eyes at the mention of Allex’s animosity. “I’m sure Alex must have told you about our divorce,” she stated, her tone tinged with frustration. 

Christian nodded in confirmation “Yeah, he mentioned it. Said It wasn’t pretty.” 

Claire’s lips tightened in a thin line. “It wasn’t. And I’ve come to realize just how much of a douchebag Alex.can be.” 

Well he can be quite handful sometimes,” Christian stood up as he was going to take his leave. 

“ram really sorry for interrupting your work” 

Η 

“line, Clustian No to apologize,“Claire assured him, waving off his comes, 

“Thanks for telling me 

Christian thanked her for sharing the information and tumed to leave. But as he reached the door, Claire called out to him, stopping him in his tracks. 

“Christian can I ask youtora favor? Please don’t tell Alex about this,” Claire requested, her tone earnest. 

Christian hesitated, tom between loyalty to his best mate and understanding Claire’s situation. After a moment, he nodded. “Okay, I won’t say anything. It’s not
