Billionaire Daddy, GO, GO, GO!

Chapter 30 Office Politics

Patricia left Sidney Kindergarten. Not long after she had walked out of the kindergarten, Bus 220 had

already stopped next to her.

She got on the bus in surprise. She was still in a trance when the bus stopped at the entrance of

Crawford Group.

Patricia shook her head, and then stepped into the office building.

Standing in front of the floor map of the building, Patricia deepened her frown. Where was the

president’s office? Crawford Group was so huge, and she didn’t see the president’s office!

Watching a female employee passing by with a cup of coffee, Patricia turned to catch up with her.

"Hello, I wonder where the president’s office is?"

The female employee stared at Patricia, who hadn’t put on any makeup but still looked stunning, and

squinted her eyes gradually. "The president’s office? Why do you want to go to the president’s office?"

Patricia raised the name card in her hand to the female employee’s face. " President Crawford asked

me to report for duty at 8 am this morning in the president’s office!"

Staring at the name card in Patricia’s hand, the female employee squinted her eyes slowly,

contemplating.

The other female staff had gone through several interviews and climbed up to their current positions

step by step, while this woman would actually go to the president’s office personally with the president’s

name card!

The female employee cast another glance at Patricia’s face, and squinted. It seemed that this woman

was not simple!

"Well, the president’s office… Go along that corridor and then turn left. There is a stairway heading

straight for the president’s office."

The female employee pointed at the way in front of them and said gently.

Patricia’s eyes squinted slowly. "Why the stairway? Isn’t there an elevator in the Crawford Group?"

Smiling, the female employee shook her head. "Of course there are. It’s because something went

wrong with the elevators today, and we need to climb stairs to work today."

Patricia dropped her head slightly. She walked along the way the female employee told her, looking

grateful.

"Thank you. I’m going up now."

The female employee watched Patricia leaving. The kindness disappeared from her face immediately,

and only a disdainful smile was left.

She tilted her head, watched the clock aside, and then began to smile slowly.

"When you finally realize what’s going on, it should be over 8 am."

The female employee smiled and shook her head. Then she walked to her desk with the cup of coffee.

Walking along the way the female employee just told her, Patricia frowned gradually.

The deeper she went, the darker it became. How could it be that the president’s office was in the

deepest part of the corridor? Which president would keep such interest and hobby?

Patricia stopped her footstep slowly. It seemed that she was about to leave the corridor.

While at this moment, her phone rang.

Patricia took out her phone from her purse. She read the text message sent by Benjamin and was

completely puzzled. How come Benjamin send her a message?

She opened the message, read it and was slightly stunned.

'Mom, I forgot to tell you the address of the president’s office! It’s on the 17th floor!'

When Patricia finished reading Benjamin’s message, she cast another glance at the time shown on the

phone screen.

It was 7.57! She was running out of time!

Patricia rushed towards the fire stairway in the deepest part of the corridor. Carrying her purse, she

climbed two steps at a time, dashing upwards.

Finally Patricia arrived at the 17th floor. Before she could catch her breath, she ran straight to end of

the 17th floor.

Patricia saw the doorplate on the president’s office and let out a sigh. Then she rang the doorbell and

walked in.

In the president’s office, Matthew was sitting calmly at his desk, and then he glanced at the watch on

his wrist unhurriedly.

He raised his face, which always looked gentle, and stared at Patricia. "It’s 8.02. You are two minutes

late."

Patricia pursed her lips and lowered her head. "Sorry, it’s my fault. It won’t happen again."

Hearing Patricia’s words, Matthew’s eyes squinted slowly, his face full of curiosity and interest.

He knew very well what had happened on the first floor of the office building, including the fact that the

female employee had fooled Patricia.

He knew that Patricia had figured out the truth and not fooled by that female employee, but she was

still late.

However, even though she was late, Patricia mentioned nothing about that female employee who

should be blamed.

"Well? Is there an excuse?" Seeing that Patricia didn’t mention it, Matthew could only give her a hint in

another way.

Clearly, Patricia got Matthew’s hint, but she didn’t understand what he meant.

"If there is an excuse, it’s because I was too slow to respond."

With his chin on his hand, Matthew stared seriously at Patricia and asked, "If that female employee

hadn’t fooled you, you should have been here in time."

Patricia was slightly stunned. "It was me who was too slow to adapt to the office life. If I had been able

to react sooner, it wouldn’t have turned out like this."

Matthew nodded, his hand slipping from his chin. "But there is another reason. You still believed her."

"What?" Patricia tilted her head in puzzlement.

Matthew tapped the desk gently with his finger. "There’s nothing wrong with the elevators of Crawford

Group."

Patricia heard Matthew’s words, but there was no trace of surprise on her face, as if she had already Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

expected it.

Actually, she had long realized that there was nothing wrong with the elevators of Crawford Group.

Crawford Groups was a huge company, and it was among the top-notch enterprises in Midfort. In such

a company, there shouldn’t be anything like an elevator emergency.

Even if there was some tiny problems, it would be fixed at once!

But at that time, Patricia was not familiar with Crawford Group at all. If she turned around to look for the

elevator, she would have to ask someone, so she had to spend more time looking for help.

In that case, when she arrived at the president’s office, she must be late for more than two minutes!

Therefore, she chose "the hard way".

"So, President Crawford, if I turned around to look for the elevator at that point, and asked someone for

help, how would it turn out to be? I’m afraid I would be late for more than two minutes."

Matthew heard Patricia’s words, and this time, it was his turn to be stunned. Because he hadn’t thought

of what Patricia said. It didn’t occur to Matthew that he would be mistaken about a woman.

Matthew shook his head with a smile on his face. "Patricia, you are the second person whom I’m wrong

about."

Patricia was stunned, and then smiled. "The first one who made President Crawford wrong about must

have impressed President Crawford a lot."
