Chapter 238 Bumping Into Mr. Crawford
Forty minutes later, the car arrived at the office building.
The black Bentley stopped in front of the entrance. Luke stepped out of the car with his leather shoes, and he held the DNA test report in his hand.
No company employee would dare to make a fuss in front of their boss, especially by standing in front of their boss's way.
However, Yvonne was about to do that.
She was talking to the receptionists in the lobby. "My friend isn't someone bad. What mischief can we do if we go to the top floor? There are security cameras everywhere. Why can't we go there and hang around for ten minutes?"
The receptionists might be lowly employees, but they had greeted their fair share of VIPs before. Of course, they had seen many individuals like Yvonne who displayed their intelligence, or the lack of it, the moment they opened their mouths.
The receptionists knew that Yvonne wanted to bring her friend to the top floor so that she could show off.
The top floor was the CEO’s office. Even though Mr. Crawford might not be in the office often, the top floor was nonetheless forbidden territory. None of the employees may enter without permission.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Gideon, you can bring your friend to the floor you work in, or the common area on the second floor," one of the receptionists answered diplomatically.
Yvonne's face was green with anger after she heard the receptionist repeat the same thing again. She slammed her palm onto the marble counter. ’ Are you a robot? Do you only know how to say that? You're too inflexible!"
The two receptionists looked at each other. They retained the apologetic smile, though their gaze was becoming disdainful.
Yvonne might be ignorant, but she could see the disdain in the receptionists' eyes. She sneered and said, "Just you wait. I'll get Brother
Luke to fire the two of you tomorrow!"
There was only one Luke in the entire company. Yvonne thought that the two receptionists would be intimidated when she name-dropped the boss...
Unfortunately, she was wrong.
The two receptionists looked at the entrance with smiles on their faces, then bowed at the same time. "Good afternoon, Mr. Crawford."
Yvonne turned around and saw the man entering through the revolving entrance door of the building. Disregarding his forbidding aura, Yvonne pounced over to the man and said coyly, "Brother Luke, they..."
The receptionists began to look flustered.
Their senior in college had recommended them to apply to T Corporation. They also knew that ever since Luke took over the reins, he had made sure that the company rules applied to everyone, including himself.
That Yvonne had called the boss "Brother Luke" in public...
If she was really someone personally close to the boss, they were uncertain if they would get to keep their jobs.
Luke did not allow Yvonne to get close to him. He used the hand that was holding the DNA test report to block her advance and asked casually, "Why is she still in the company?"
That question was meant for Jason.
The boss might not sound angry, but Jason nevertheless admitted his oversight.
He knew very well how much the boss hated Ms. Gideon, especially today when Kevin Rayne had passed away.
Yvonne was digging her own grave!
"I'll handle this right away!" Jason nodded solemnly. Then, he took a step forward and, with a fierce expression, gestured to Yvonne as though saying "This way, please."
Yvonne's grievances were stuck in her throat.
The receptionists exhaled heavily, relieved that they were not going to get into trouble.
If the boss arrived at the company late today with his brows tightly knotted together, it meant that he had something serious plaguing his mind. Yvonne happened to be unlucky to meet him in the lobby.
Yvonne, who had been coyly calling her boss "Brother Luke," was also wondering what was going to happen to her.
"Why is she still in the company?' What does that mean?'
She did not understand.
'Where else should I be during office hours, if not at the company?'
Jason sighed and said, "Ms. Gideon, please go upstairs and pack up your belongings." "Why should I pack up my belongings?" Yvonne had a hunch that she was getting fired and began to throw her spoiled-rich-daughter tantrums. "I'm doing fine here. Are you telling me to leave?"
Jason was speechless for a moment.
'Yes. I'm telling you to leave.'
Meanwhile, several other employees who were stepping into the elevator grimaced. They were thinking of the same thing, 'That Yvonne doesn't know her position. She got into trouble during the outdoor expedition the last time, and now this.'
They were all secretly trembling when they saw how serious and harsh their boss was earlier...
In the conference room on the top floor of the building, the meeting started.
Jason knew that the meeting would not be ending anytime soon. The boss would definitely want to run through the entire agenda so that he could focus on settling Mr. Rayne's affairs.
If Mr. Rayne were still alive, he would eventually become the boss's father- in-law.
At the lobby, the police came to arrest Yvonne for a serious crime.
Not only was Yvonne scared into tears and kept on denying that she did not exhort someone to abduct her colleague's grandfather, but even the department leader of the design department also called the top floor.
Jason remained silent. He did not answer any calls coming from downstairs.
He felt that Yvonne had brought it unto herself. If not that she had made several mistakes in a row because of her impetuosity and angered the boss, she would not have to go to prison at such a young age.
Time passed by slowly. Eventually, it was half-past four.
Jason glanced at his wristwatch, then went to the school to fetch the two children back to the boss's office.
They arrived at five o'clock, though it was only until seven o'clock when the conference room doors opened.
The two children had already fallen asleep.
