Chapter 193

Don chuckled back at her. "Climbing the corporate ladder ain't a walk in the park, you gotta let your work do the talking here. We don't roll with nepotism, you

No sooner had he finished speaking than a snide "Huh." echoed from behind.

Don frowned and glanced over his shoulder, spotting Patricia stepping out of the elevator. His frown deepened, but in a blink, he slapped on a professional smile and greeted her, "What brings you here, Mrs. Crawley?"

He remembered Brandon giving Patricia the boot from the head office, and that she was barred from visiting.

Marian, spotting Patricia, was thrilled and sweetly called out, "Mrs. Crawley!"

She deftly linked arms with Patricia, surprisingly chummy with her all of a sudden. Patricia, seeing Marian, beamed back, "What are you doing here?"

"Just here for work," Marian replied.

"Congrats!" Patricia smiled, "Must've given your grandpa a real scare, running all the way here for a job."

Suddenly, Sophia remembered the old man she encountered at the hospital yesterday. She didn't want to dwell on that, so she quickly bid Don farewell, "I better get back to work."

Don, not wanting Sophia to catch any flak from Patricia, nodded briskly, "Off you go."

Patricia eyed Sophia with that same condescending look she always had. Don wasn't a fan of that look, but still kept a polite smile on his face, "Mrs. Crawley, does Brandon know you're here?"
