Snare of Love novel Chapter 40

“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 lodge a complaint 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. It’s understandable that 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.
