Chapter 59 Jealous Gossipers
Chapter 59 Jealous Gossipers
What made her even more aggrieved was that all the top 3 should be promoted as it was once
announced at the beginning.
However, now only Patricia was promoted and both she and the one who got the third place were still
kept on the crowded office on the first floor.
Though she was made the substitute designer, she was aware that her position actually still remained
unchanged. She still worked as a common staff in this department.
Of course, she could tell how huge the gap was between her and the real designer.
So it took all her efforts to get prepared for this competition.
She even deemed herself that she would definitely win the championship. However, the dress designed
by Patricia suddenly looted her champion away. And she should be the only one who enjoyed the
compliments of all.
At the thought of that Lola couldn't help clenching her fists hard and stepped forward. However, she NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
gradually stopped.
Now her mind was filled with what Benjamin once warned her.
'If you dare to plot against my mom again, the draft will appear in the president's office.'
She clenched her fists hard. She had to comfort herself that though she still sat on the same office, as
a substitute designer, she still deemed herself that she should enjoy a higher position than the other
colleagues.
And she told herself that she would definitely revenge on Patricia when the day came.
Marilyn stepped beside Patricia slowly and said, "Patricia, why are you standing still? Come with me."
Patricia paused a bit and then followed her to walk away.
As soon as they left, the director couldn't help shaking her own head.
"Mr. Crawford actually makes his assistant here to notice her. It seems that she did win his attention. I
really regret for not having fawned on this capable rookie before."
Seeing Patricia leave, all staffs in the office looked jealous and dissatisfied.
Then they started to gossip.
"You know what? I heard that it was Mr. Crawford who came to the canteen to notice her himself. He
even asked her to be his dancing partner to dance with him on the banquet!"
"Oh my gosh! Mr. Crawford actually did that?"
"Does he have a crush on that little bitch?"
"Yeah, though Mr. Crawford attaches great importance to those capable ones, the way he treats her
really goes beyond my expectation."
"Hey, there is another more surprising news! Mr. Crawford invited her to attend the banquet together
with him in person. However, she actually refused!"
"What? No way! That should be the dream of all ladies! She dared to refuse?"
"Come on, I heard that she even refused him for three times! It was Mr. Crawford who made it
compulsory and then she had to accept it."
"Come on, she was just pretending. Or she must be playing a hard-to-get trick!"
"Yeah, if she really wanted to refuse, why did she agree still?"
"You are right!"
…
Hearing that gossips, Lola clenched her fists hard, looking annoyed.
The lady who won the third prize stood beside her and sighed, "Lola, all of us even expected that you
would be the champion and it should be you who attended the banquet with Mr. Crawford. Well, but
Patricia…"
Lola huffed and then got back to her own seat, "Patricia didn't even have her own draft. Not to mention
about the final version of it. Obviously, both her draft and final version were provided by others."
"We can't find the evidence just because we don't have enough time! How dare she play hard-to-get
tricks in front of Mr. Crawford! She would definitely be doomed!"
All ladies around nodded when hearing that, "Yeah, that's right. We all believe that you should have
won the champion!"
Lola squinted again, "Besides, you know what? Patricia is actually a slut! She even gave birth to a kid!
And her son is about this tall now!"
While speaking, Lola reached out her hand to gesture in a mocking tone.
Suddenly, everyone around seemed to be ignited.
"Oh my god! Really? But she looks so young! She has a son? When did she give birth to her son?"
"Perhaps when she was only 19 or 20."
"Huh, what a slut!"
"That's how the bitch behaves! I could tell that she even wants to seduce Mr. Crawford this time!"
…
Hearing the gossips about Patricia, Lola finally felt a bit better.
However, as they got off work, they became jealous again.
They all saw that Matthew was walking ahead while followed by Marilyn and Patricia.
All staffs squeezed their ways to look out of the building. They saw a Lincoln limousine park outside the
gate and then Matthew, Marilyn and Patricia all got into it.
Then the limousine slowly drew out of the company.
Lola clenched hard again and thumped on her desk.
She gritted and forced out her words filled with hatred, "Patricia, I will definitely revenge on you!"
But now everyone was watching and no one saw Lola, who stood behind.
Patricia felt quite uneasy as soon as she got into the limousine. She couldn't help looking at Matthew
as if she wanted to make the final struggle.
"Sir, I am really not good at dealing with banquet. I think it would be better for Marilyn to go with you."
Matthew raised his eyes and looked at her with a kind face, "Patricia, that's the rules. You can't have
someone else to be your substitute to attend the banquet."
"But you really feel so reluctant to attend the banquet with me? You don't want to be my dancing
partner at all?"
As excellent as he had always been, he had never been turned down by anyone else. Of course,
Archibald was an exception.
However, Patricia had been refusing him again and again recently.
Patricia shook her head and said seriously, "No! Mr. Crawford, it was you who offered me the job when
I was badly in need of help! You give me the chance to prove myself. But…"
Suddenly, she seemed to come up with an excuse.
"But I didn't even have a nice evening dress. Mr. Crawford, you don't want me to attend the banquet
with you while wearing casual dress and canvas sneakers, right? I don't want you to be embarrassed.
So, please go with Marilyn!"
Matthew couldn't help laughing when looking at her. He still remained friendly, "It's okay. If you love to
attend with casual dress and canvas sneakers, I would like to have such an unusual dancing partner."
Hearing that, Patricia was rendered speechless. It seemed that she couldn't run away from it this
time.
