Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 169

WY Group.

The wall behind the front desk had a gold background and was inlaid with bold and powerful words “WY Group”. It looked magnificent and stood out to people’s eyes like dragon’s nest, making people afraid to underestimate it.

“Sorry, you haven’t made an appointment, I can’t let you go up.” The receptionist said in a professional tone.

Theresa stood at the front desk anxiously and said politely, “I really need to meet your president and ask him something. It’s very urgent.”

Dolores hadn’t been to the store for two days and couldn’t be contacted. Dolores had moved to Matthew’s villa and she didn’t know where it was. She was a little worried, so she had come here wanting to ask Matthew why Dolores wasn’t coming to the store.

The store had just opened recently and most of their customers came for her reputation. Her absence was going to make the customers feel like they were not being treated sincerely.

Moreover, Dolores was very serious and passionate about her word and she was not the kind of person who will stop going to the school without saying anything.

If she could have contact her and Dolores said that she wasn’t coming to the store because she had something to do, then Theresa would have felt at ease. But right now, she couldn’t even contact her.

How could she not worry?

“I am really sorry. I can’t let you go up without an appointment. If everyone behaves like you then our boss will not be able to do anything apart from meeting people like you and waste his time.” Although she maintained her dignified manner, her words were not as gentle as before as she was annoyed by Theresa.

“Why can’t you guys be a little accommodating? Or how about you call your boss and let me just talk to him on the phone.”

“No. If you have a lot of time, you can sit in the lobby and wait for him to come down. You can talk to him yourself and if he is willing you can ask him whatever you want.”

“Why are you being like this?”

“Sorry, this is my job.”

Theresa dropped her head sadly. The people in this huge company were so unkind. She only wanted to see Matthew.

“Hey, Theresa!” Armand walked in from the door, twirling the car key in his hand, looking idle.

Theresa didn’t bother to pay attention to him.

She turned around to leave.

“Hey.” As she passed him, he grabbed her arm, “How come you hide every time you see me? I don’t eat people. Besides, we are friends, we should say hello when we meet. Aren’t you being too impolite?”

Theresa frowned and tried to wrestle her hand out of his grip, “Politeness also depends on who the other person is. You grab my wrist as soon as you come. If I didn’t know you, I would think you were a playboy.”

Armand raised his eyebrows, flicked his dust-free suit and squinted at her, “I can sue you for slander for speaking like that.”

Theresa’s face sank and she said unhappily, “Are you crazy? You provoke me first and now you make bogus accusations. Wow! This is eye-opening.”

Armand wasn’t actually going to sue her but was only teasing her. Seeing her angry, the corners of his lips raised slightly, “Are you here to meet Matthew?”

He had heard her talking to the receptionist as he was walking in.

Before Theresa could answer, he said, “Do you fancy our Matthew?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?!” Theresa was annoyed and her face flushed red. Matthew was very handsome; he had the charm that only a mature man could have.

But she knew very well that he was Dolores’s.

She had never thought about him that way.

He actually had the guts to tease her?

He was simply not a person!

“Are you angry?” Armand tilted his head to look at her.

Theresa really wanted to slap him, and it took all her strength to not do that. She glared at him fiercely and then hurried away.

Armand curled his lips and stood his ground as he stared at her with a strategic look, “You came to meet Matthew to ask about Ms. Flores, right?”

Armand had just come from Boyce’s office to discuss the matter of prosecuting Maria. He had learned from Boyce that they there was no news of Dolores. He had heard that Matthew was in a bad mood due to this. As his friend, he had to come and care about it.

Theresa’s footsteps stopped. He knew about Dolores!

But thinking about his brazenness, she resisted and didn’t talk to him immediately.

“Something happened to Ms. Flores, don’t you care as her friend?” Armand turned around and looked at the hesitant Theresa.

Something happened to Dolores?

How could something happen to her?

Theresa didn’t believe him. She wouldn’t doubt if someone else had told her, but she didn’t have a good impression of him.

“Don’t try to fool me. Dolores is fine! Why are you cursing her? What are you up to?”

Armand, “…”

Did she not believe him?
