Good news

When his PA entered the room, Patrick was speaking on the phone with his friend Charles about a legal matter relating to his business. As he listened to the conversation on the phone, Patrick raised an eyebrow at his friend.

Alex addressed his boss, "Mr. Patrick, I hate to interrupt your conversation, but someone is here to see you."

Before speaking to the caller, Patrick gave him a quick glance.

He removed the phone from his ear and begged, "Please hold on, Charles." "What is it, Alex?"

"Sorry, sir, but you have a visitor."

"Why do I feel like he is important? I hope the person is, because I am quite busy now."

"He is. Mr. Gideon Crowley is here to see you."

"What?!" he cried out. "Are you sure about that?"

"Yes, he is in the lobby. Susan had gone down to bring him to the office."

"How come nobody tells me that he was coming?"

Alex retorted, "I didn't get a notice either." "I guess he wanted to surprise you."
