Chapter 58 Part of the Award
Benjamin didn't utter again until Patricia fixed her eyes on him, "Karina, you told me that you got the
news from your dad's company, right?"
Hearing that, Karina turned around to look at Patricia, "Yeah, I got the news from my dad's company."
Patricia looked around them suspiciously.
Then Benjamin held up the chopsticks and food and handed them to Patricia, "Mommy, just eat it!
Otherwise, Karina will take away all delicious meat."
Karina stared at him while holding the lunch box filled with meat. Then she said while her mouth was
still stuffed with food, "Stop talking nonsense! I never do that!"
How hilarious!
Patricia ruffled his cute little head and smiled, "Okay, since the competition is finished, I have nothing
else to do in the afternoon. Let me get off work earlier and I will stay with my baby!"
Benjamin reached out his arms to hug Patricia with bright smile, "Yeah! I got the best mom in the
world!"
Karina put down the chopsticks with her lips pressed, "Patricia, I am afraid I can't stay with you now. I
need to go to tend my brother. He is in a bad mood recently."
Patricia patted her hand gently, "Okay, just go ahead, Karina, thank you. You always come to help me
first when I am in need."
Karina pinched her face and laughed, "Come on, we are best friends!"
Patricia then put Benjamin in Karina's arms, "Well, could you please send him back to school on your
way home?"
While leaving with Karina, Benjamin turned around again and again to look at Patricia, "Mommy, don't
forget your promise! Be back soon!" Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Patricia nodded with a smile, "Of course babe, I will be back soon!"
When both of them left, Patricia started to clean up her own desk.
However, footsteps sounded as someone was walking over in a pair of leathered shoes.
Patricia raised her head and saw Matthew come to her front.
"Mr. Crawford?"
Matthew sat down opposite her with a smile.
Seeing that, Patricia sat down as well.
"Mr. Crawford, what can I do for you?"
Matthew nodded a bit and said, "I am going to attend a banquet tonight. But I don't have a dancing
partner yet. So Patricia, can you do me a favor for that?"
"Mr. Crawford, I believe that there are so many ladies who have been dreaming to dance with you on
the banquet. I am afraid that I can't do that as I have something else to deal with today."
Seeing that Patricia stood up immediately, Matthew was still a bit stunned.
However, Marilyn, who stood beside, hurried to stop her, "Wait, Mr. Crawford hasn't finished."
"Perhaps you haven't known that being the dancing partner of Mr. Crawford is another award for the
champion this time." Marilyn started to explain while looking at her confused face.
Hearing that, Patricia was a bit stunned. She didn't even expect that it was part of the award.
She was rendered a bit speechless. No wonder those women were being so crazy. They were all so
jealous as if they were about to tear her apart when seeing that she won the championship.
No wonder it happened.
Patricia nodded at both Marilyn and Matthew apologetically, "Sorry, Mr. Crawford, I participated the
competition as soon as I just registered for the job. I made it in a hurry so I didn't notice the award. I am
so sorry! I can't attend the banquet."
She lowered down her head and continued, "If it's possible, I would like other designers to take the
glory."
For Matthew, it was his first time to be turned down for three consecutive times!
But he still kept a gentle smile, "You have refused me again and again. Do you have something
important to deal with?"
Patricia nodded, "Yes, I promise to my son that I will be back home early tonight."
No one expect that Patricia actually gave up the chance to stay with the president of the company
because of her own son. And she also gave up the exciting opportunity to get in touch with the upper
class!
Matthew squinted again. He could tell that this woman was so much different from what Archibald once
said to him, who claimed that Patricia always appeared to be scheming and sophisticate.
He stood up from the seat slowly, "Patricia, if you are worried about leaving your son alone at home, we
can also take him to the banquet. But you can't refuse as it's part of the award. If you turned it down, I
would be humiliated. Please pardon me."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Marilyn, who stayed behind, talked to Patricia seriously, "Don't leave so soon when you get off work
today. We will drive you home."
Before Patricia could refuse again, Matthew left with Marilyn soon.
Patricia looked a bit frustrated while moving her lips a bit.
It seemed that she had to coax her sweetheart again this time.
She couldn't help clenching her fists. Everything she had done was for work!
When she got back to her seat, the office director walked over with a smile.
She held Patricia's hand kindly with great smile, "Wow, Patricia, welcome back!"
Seeing that everything on her desk was cleaned up, she frowned confusedly, "Where are my
belongings?"
The director patted on her hand gently as if they were old friends.
However, she actually embarrassed her in public yesterday. How ridiculous!
"Now you serve as the designer of the group! All your belongings have been transferred to the sixth
floor. Now don't need to work here! Now you will have a huge office for a few designers only! You will
have a more spacious and comfortable working condition!"
Patricia slowly withdrew her hands from the director's, "Well, I got it. Thank you."
Noticing her alienation, the director didn't even look a bit embarrassed.
"I am so glad that you still say thank you to me! I heard that you will attend the banquet with Mr.
Crawford tonight. Well, Patricia, I hope that you can make a pitch for me in front of him tonight."
Then she even got closer and said, "You should know that I have been staying on the position for too
long! I just want to get promoted as well…"
Patricia took a few steps back and said coldly, "Sorry, you should know that I can't decide on the
promotion. I am sure that Mr. Crawford should be clear about those who deserve to be promoted."
Lola, who sat behind, couldn't help clenching her fists. Though she was the second place, she still
insisted that she should have been the final winner.
She should have got the certificate and she should have attended the banquet with the
president.
