Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 40: Be My Companion

“Ms. White, her salary has to be deducted, right?” Carole was aggressive.

Helen spoke with a business-like tone, “According to the system of the company, yes.”

“I originally have no intention to make a scene since this is just a small matter but she is obviously late

and she persists to say that she has taken a leave of absence. The personality of a person who says

such lies must be…”

“She had taken a leave,” When Carole was triumphantly criticizing that Dolores’s personality was bad,

a low voice sounded and interrupted her.

Carole froze for a moment, thinking that she might have heard it wrongly. Would such a matter be

handled personally by Mr. Nelson?

It was obviously not possible.

“The person who lies and comes late is bound to have a bad character. Such a person should not be

allowed to stay in the company.”

“I had accepted her request for asking for a leave, do you need me to mention it again?” Matthew’s

tone aggravated. He said slowly and heavily, apparently making others felt a sense of being

oppressively questioned.

Carole could hear clearly this time. One time might be a hallucination, but it was already the second

time she heard it, so it was impossible to be a hallucination.

She felt that it was too unbelievable.

This kind of matter should be handled by Ms. White but why did the boss personally handle it?

What was the relationship between this woman and Mr. Nelson?

Two times already…

“Well, you guys go and do your work.” Helen pretended to be bland.

But she was actually anxious and panicked.

Dolores inadvertently glanced at Helen’s face that was pretending to be calm. A thought flashed

through her mind. She wanted to prove Coral’s words that Matthew did not love Helen and there was

another reason for him to be with her.

The reason was related to going to A Country.

Initially, she only wanted to take it as a coincidence.

However, the words uttered by Coral and Sampson today made her took them to heart.

Her child indeed needed a father.

Helen followed Matthew into the office. After reporting all the itinerary, she closed the schedule list and

asked tentatively, “Is it that you’ll ask Ms. Flores to attend the banquet tonight with you?”

Matthew seemed to be a little tired as he closed his eyes. After keeping silent for a few seconds, “You

go with me.”

Helen heaved a sigh of relief, “I’ll go out now and do my work then.”

After closing the door, Helen turned around and saw that Dolores was standing behind her. Helen’s

pace stopped.

“Ms. White, I have something to ask you, can I have a word with you?” Dolores asked.

Helen was surprised that Dolores would take the initiative to find her.

She would like to hear what she wanted to say, “Sure, let’s go to the café downstairs.”

They took the elevator and reached the café on the first floor.

They found a seat with no noise and sat down.

Both of them did not utter a word. Dolores said something only after the coffee was served for quite a

moment, “Ms. White seems to have great animosity towards me.”

“Matthew and I are couples. We’re forced to be separated. If Ms. Flores stands in my position, what will

you do?” Helen asked.

Dolores pinched the spoon and gently stirred the coffee in the coffee cup and felt that Helen was really

good at telling a flawless story.

“You are clear that Mr. Nelson and I are just implementing the marriage contract. It’ll not last for long

but Ms. White seems to be very eager to stop it and also very afraid of me.” She slowly raised her

eyes.

“Why do you say so?” Helen smiled and took a sip of coffee.

“I know, you know. Spreading the news of my pregnancy in the place where I live, asking people to

vilify me, and stimulating my mother, I think Ms. White knows well about the reason that you did all

these things.” Helen could disguise well but Dolores was even greater than her. It was as if she had

controlled everything in her hands.

“I can’t get what Ms. Flores meant. The thing I do is just that I’m dissatisfied with the marriage between

you and Matthew. If Ms. Flores wants to complain to Matthew, just go ahead, I don’t care. Matthew will

understand me, I’m just a woman, a woman in love, a woman whose original position was taken by

others. Understandably, I’ll do something out of the ordinary.” She smiled faintly and looked at Dolores,

“Whereas, Ms. Flores’s action of taking the initiative to ask me out for a talk shows that you seem to

blow your cool.”

Dolores smiled without saying anything. Her inscrutable look made Helen’s hair stood on end.

An icy-cold tone sounded, “Why’re you laughing?”

“I heard a funny thing, is Ms. White interested in hearing it?”

“What?”

“I heard that Ms. White had followed Mr. Nelson for a long time but he did not fall in love with Ms.

White. The reason he suddenly gave Ms. White the status of being his girlfriend was because…”

Dolores purposely paused to observe Helen’s face.

As expected, her expression changed. Although she was trying to hold back, Dolores was still able to

notice the change.

“Because of what?” Helen was not as calm as before.

“I just heard a few gossips, so Ms. White doesn’t need to really care about it.” Dolores purposely said

some and stopped saying the rest to ensure that Helen did not know how much did she know. She

deliberately left Helen in suspense.

“Matthew and I sincerely love each other. So, there are naturally people who are not happy and green

with envy to see it, and gossip about it. If Ms. Flores wants to take it seriously, I also can’t do anything.”

Helen stood up while saying, “There is still half a month. The position that belongs to me will always

belong to me.”

She took a glance at Dolores and left.

“How does Ms. White know that I’m pregnant for two months?” Dolores also stood up.

“I had told you, I guessed it.”

Dolores walked over, “My belly is not obvious to be recognized as pregnant. It’s impossible to

determine how long I have been pregnant by just looking at it but Ms. White can guess it immediately. I

think even women who have experience of giving birth to a child will not have the same ability as Ms.

White, right?”

“Maybe it’s a coincidence? I could guess it because I’m lucky. Anything can happen in this world,

maybe I really have this kind of talent?” Finished speaking, Helen walked towards the elevator.

The door of the elevator slowly closed. In the gap, Dolores and Helen stared at each other.

Although Helen did not show any flaws in her words, she knew that Dolores must have found out

something.

Otherwise, Dolores would not come to find her and put out feelers today.

Helen did not know how much did Dolores know.

The strength in Dolores’s body was drained the moment the door of the elevator was fully closed.

Many signs indicated that her guess might be true.

But she was unable to understand the details.

If it was really Matthew, why did the woman who introduced her to the business that day give her

money?

Why did Matthew…

Just to fulfil his desire to have sex?

She could not figure it out. It was like a mystery with a hidden conspiracy.

But she had no clue to find it out.

After work, she went home as usual.

“You come back alone?” Coral poked in the direction behind Dolores.

Dolores nodded in slight disappointment. When she got off work, she saw Helen, who was dressed

exquisitely, get into his car.

She was no longer confident with her guess as before. Perhaps Matthew really loved Helen sincerely?

The reason he did not love her before was just that he did not realize it himself.

She was confused.

“Why didn’t you come back with the young master?” Two people should spend more time together to

strengthen the bond.

“He went out with Ms. White.” Dolores only felt disheartened. After having the guess, her attitude

towards Matthew had changed.

Coral sighed, “You have to put in more effort.”

Dolores smiled bleakly. As she did not want to talk about this topic, she purposely said, “I’m a bit tired, I

want to take a nap.”

Coral could feel that she was obviously not in a good mood, “Go and rest, I’ll call you when dinner is

ready.”

Dolores answered and went into the room.

She lay on the bed and felt exhausted. She slowly closed her eyes and really wanted to sleep for a

while. When she was dazed and about to fall asleep, her phone rang.

She took out the phone and picked up the call.

“Lola, can you do me a favour?” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

This voice…

Dolores instantaneously lost all her sleepiness. She sat up, “Go ahead and tell me.”

“I need to attend an occasion so I need you to be my companion.”

After a few seconds of keeping silent, Dolores replied, “Okay.”

“Send me your location, I’ll go and pick you up.”
