Chapter 159
Patricia’s voice wasn’t exactly hush-hush; her mellow, chuckling tone immediately had the whole office turning heads towards Sophia.
The office was filled with newbies; no one knew Patricia, but her comment about “the compensation my son gave you” reeked a bit of the ol’ casting couch, and the crowd’s expressions quickly turned into a mixed bag.
Right there in the office, Don happened to look up and catch the scene at the door. He quickly put on a smile and stepped in to smooth things over.
“Hey, Mrs. Crawley, what brings you here?” He approached with a grin, subtly wedging himself between Sophia and Patricia. “Sophia here’s our head honcho in design, handpicked for the job.”
Patricia scoffed, ready to retort, but Don beat her to the punch. “You’re here about the project, right? Let’s talk shop in my office.” While leading her away, he shot a worried glance back at Sophia.
Sophia’s face was the picture of serenity.
Seeing Don’s concerned look, Sophia returned a courteous smile and turned to face the HR specialist.
The HR person knew Patricia and had been specifically instructed by the big cheeses to handle the elevator card. Their gaze at Sophia was now laced with extra curiosity and probing.
Sophia didn’t accept the card.
“I won’t be needing that, thanks,” she said softly, her voice as gentle and calm as ever. “If you’re worried about explaining this to the higher-ups, just tell them I refused. If there’s an issue, they can come to me directly.”
The HR person hesitated but finally nodded, “Alright.”
