Chapter 31 She Was the Second
Chapter 31 She Was the Second
Matthew listened to Patricia, and he recalled the lonely figure.
He held his forehead as if he was helpless. That was more than memory. He would remember him to
the end of his life.
"Well, don't mention him." Matthew felt cold when hearing his name.
Patricia stepped forward and put the soaked business card on Matthew’s desk.
“I am late on the first day. No matter what decision you’ll make, I will accept.”
Matthew squinted and looked at Patricia, “What? Do you think I’ll ask you to leave Crawford Group
now?”
Patricia raised her slightly surprised face and looked at Matthew, "Isn't it?"
Matthew nodded slightly, "Normally, you should leave. But I will not give up on a talent like you.
Besides, I am quite satisfied with your response to the matter today."
One more thing Matthew didn't say was that she was the second person he misjudged in his life, and
she was a woman.
Patricia bowed and nodded at Matthew, and then said with excitement, "Thank you!"
Matthew nodded slightly, and then handed Patricia a work card. "This is for you. Now you will start at
the bottom as a designer. Are you OK with this? As I said yesterday, you have to start from scratch."
Patricia nodded earnestly, and then accepted the work card with respect, "Yes, I know, thank you,
Matthew."
Matthew nodded slightly, and then pointed the door, "You can go now. My assistant will take you to your
cubicle."
Patricia nodded repeatedly, and then exited his office slowly.
Sitting in the office, Matthew started a video call with a contact on his computer.
As soon as the video call was put through, the screen was occupied by Archibald Randolph’s fabulous
face.
Archibald gradually became impatient, “Matthew, you’ve got nothing to do now?”
Matthew curled his lips and couldn’t hide his smile, “I’m not, I’ve got a genius designer recently. But in
case she aims too high and becomes arrogant, I plan to let her start from scratch.”
Archibald paused slightly, and he was impatient, “Why would she agree to join your company?”
“She promised without complaints. What’s interesting is that she is the second person I have
misjudged. I didn’t expect that there would be someone besides you.”
Archibald’s expression was cold, but he said with a charming smile, “It’s easy for you to make such
mistake since you are stupid.”
Archibald didn’t set eyes on Matthew and left him a side face the whole time. And there was constant
sound of typing.
Suddenly, the typing stopped. Archibald turned his head and looked straight at Matthew.
"What did you just say? A woman?"
Matthew nodded slightly, and felt nothing wrong, "Yeah, a woman."
Archibald raised his hands and applauded for Matthew, and looked peacefully.
“It seems that you are interested in that woman. It is good for you, as you can finally be off the market.”
Matthew stared at Archibald snappishly, “What do you mean by off the market? I focus on my career
now. But, Archibald, do you want to visit my company next time? That woman seems smart and could
be your match.”
Archibald glanced at Matthew coldly upon hearing his words.
“My match? You are exaggerated. I have no interest in another woman. I’m a married man.”
Matthew shook his head and said helplessly, “Yeah, you are married, but you only care about your son,
you don’t even touch your wife. How aggrieved it is to be your wife?”
Matthew didn’t finish when the video was hung up by Archibald.
He shrugged helplessly; he didn’t lie.
Archibald got into a flash marriage with an unheard woman, and there wasn’t even a wedding
ceremony. He didn’t touch her in three years.
Marilyn who was wearing a career suit led Patricia to a cubicle beside the window.
“This will be your cubicle from now on.”
Patricia nodded slightly and smiled at Marilyn, as she saw the perfect supporting equipment on the
table.
“Thank you.”
Marilyn paused, “By the way, the company will hold a design competition soon. You have to submit the
finished product and then take it to the competition.”
She looked at Patricia, couldn’t help but say a few more, “If you get the top three, there would be a
promotion. And there will be many companies there, you could be famous.”
Looking at Marilyn who was about to leave, Patricia said, "Why do you tell me this?"
Marilyn stopped, and then continued, "The President asked me to tell you, but you must remember that
your time is almost running out. You only have two days. Other participants have finished their work. If
you want to participate, I will sign up for you now, but the finished product..."
Before Marilyn finished her words, Patricia nodded seriously, "I want to participate. I will definitely give
you the final product within two days."
Listening to Patricia's firm tone, Marilyn turned and left.
The female employee sitting next to Patricia clenched her hands and was full of resentment. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Patricia was here, and she was escorted by the President’s assistance Marilyn. She pointed the wrong
way for Patricia earlier today, and Patricia was definitely late for work.
How could she still be in Crawford Group? She was late without doubt. The President hated people
who were not punctual.
Obviously, the entire company noticed that Patricia was special to Crawford Group.
Her colleagues around were whispering and gossiping about Patricia, but nobody approached her in a
friendly way.
She ignored the gossips, and what was on her mind was the design competition.
