Single Mother: Struggling With The Dangerous CEO

Chapter 27

 To add, Patrick would never allow this to happen.

He preferred avoiding her altogether.

‘It's only a joke.It's fine just to listen and not react” she thought to herself, brushing the promotion rumors off.

It had been four days, and Patrick still had not come back to work.He had no clue just how serious his illness was.

All the more, he didn't know the exact number of days his body needed to recover fully.

Like a snail moving every minute, Sophia was as busy as ever.

Later that day, Sophia started packing up the files on her desk.

She was just about to turn off the computer and go home after a day's work when John suddenly appeared by the door of the evaluation department.

"Sophia, come out with me for a moment.I need you to do something"

John had a heavy and worrisome look all over his face.

Patrick had been away for so long already.This might have caused an extra strain on John's part.

‘‘Without the guidance of Patrick on company matters, John must be exhausted by now” Sophia thought to herself.

Just around the corner by the stairs, John handed over a document to her.

"You have to go to President Evans’ apartment right now and give him this document.Be there before six o'clock; he must decide by then” John instructed her firmly.

Sophia felt shocked and annoyed by this sudden task.

"It's late already.It's time to get off work and go home, Mr.Ward’’ Sophia replied, wanting to end the day already.

"But this is work” John raised his eyebrows and looked over the file he was holding.

"You could've asked other employees to do this for you.Why does it have to be me?"

Sophia tried to protest in a low voice.She was telling the truth.

Other employees would be so quick to jump at this opportunity to go to their boss' apartment.

They'd do it in an instant before John could even finish the instruction.

Also, Adriana regularly visited Patrick at home; she could do it instead.

"Are you my boss now? Do I have to listen to you? I don't seem to remember that being the case."

John's face went even darker as he said those words.

Already impatient and concerned over the ticking time, John shook the document, indicating Sophia to accept it and do the task.

Sophia remained hesitant, but she knew she had no choice but to do what she was told.John said it perfectly; this was work, and she was merely a lowly employee.

Despite official work hours being finished, she had no reason to refuse.

John gave her the access card to Patrick's place.
