Her clothes were new and they cost her over forty thousand yuan. She bought them specially to wear
them when she delivered the report to the director at the end of the month. The only time she was able
to see the director was when she submitted the monthly report to him at the end of the month.
There was one other meeting that involved up to a hundred senior managers and her position was low
and couldn’t see him clearly. This was the only time that she could interact directly with the director.
Furthermore, she knew that he had just rejected a marriage and was single and available. She had to
capitalize on this opportunity. If she was successful in gaining his favor, then she could become Mrs.
Nelson.
Dolores was startled and she didn’t notice her. It was her mistake and she apologized profusely, “I’m
sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”
“Do you think that you can resolve this with a sorry? Do you know how much these clothes are? Can
you afford to compensate them?” Candance glared at her. Her beautiful dress was stained. How could
she see the director like that?
She hadn’t seen Dolores around and remarked, “You’re new here?”
Dolores was afraid that she would ask about which department she was and said, “No.”
Candance’s expression became even more hostile. Apart from Helen who just left Matthew, he didn’t
have any other woman. There weren’t any woman colleagues at this level, so where was she from?
Could it be that she also heard about Matthew’s marriage rejection and came to work on gaining his
favors?
Candance’s expression darkened further when she thought of this.
“I’ll open the door for you if you want to go in.” Dolores felt bad spilling the water and just as she was
about to open the door, Candance grabbed her hand and flung it away. Dolores took several steps
backward and the water spilled from the cup onto her chest and neck. Thank goodness the water was
not hot and it only soaked her clothes.
She wore a satin dress and when it was wet, her undergarment could be clearly seen. She quickly
covered her chest. Although she had given birth to children, she had maintained her figure very well.
She was shapely and had a nice figure.
When Candance saw her chest, she was stunned and scoffed, “What a slut. Who are you trying to
seduce by wearing so little?” Candance thought that she was here to seduce Matthew.
Vying with her?
“Shameless.” Candance scoffed.
Dolores became fired up. She had already apologized and why did she continue to make things difficult
for her?
“Learn to forgive and forget. As a staff of such a big company, don’t you have a bit of graciousness?”
“You… who are you referring to?” Candance stammered.
Dolores couldn’t be bothered with her and turned to return to the pantry but was held back by
Candance who said, “Don’t think that you can leave without apologizing to me!” Candance was furious.
No matter what, she was a finance manager of WY group.
Dolores was just a new staff here. Why should she be worried about Dolores? She was confident of
winning this encounter.
Dolores glared at her, “I already apologized that I spilled water onto you. Now you should be the one
who apologized to me.”
“Ha! Are you worthy of my apologies?” Candance scoffed, “I think that you don’t want to remain at the
office anymore. How does a small staff dare to be so arrogant? Do you believe that I’ll make life difficult
for you here?”
Dolores was speechless.
Now the office door was opened and a man stood at the doorway. He looked around, back at Dolores
and then the water on the floor.
“Mr. Nelson, I came to deliver this monthly report to you and this newcomer spilled water all over me.
Not only didn’t she apologize, but she was also very arrogant. Our company should not have this type
of person.” Candance was quick to accuse.
For this kind of matter, the person who spoke first would have the upper hand. If she laid out the
situation first, then Dolores would be on the defensive. As she said, she caressed her beautiful hair and
moved closed to Matthew. She drooped her head pitifully and appeared to be seeking comfort from
Matthew. Matthew heard everything clearly in his office. Dolores had apologized right from the start and
it was her who made a mountain out of a molehill.
“How do you think this should be handled?” Matthew asked Dolores.
Before Dolores could answer, Candance looked happily at this tall and divine man. Was he asking her
how to deal with Dolores? She felt so pampered. Candance felt like her heart could jump out at any
moment.
“This type of person should not remain in the company. Her character is flawed.” Candance’s said as
she looked at Matthew.
His strong frame was dressed in an immaculate business suit. His body exuded a strong manly
presence. The more she looked at him, the more her heart raced.
It was silent for a couple of seconds.
Dolores looked at Candance and took a deep breath and didn’t pursue the matter. She asked Matthew,
“Are you still thirsty?”
“Yes.”
Dolores turned to walk to the pantry.
Candance was stunned for a couple of seconds. What did this mean?
Then she reacted, “Mr. Nelson wants a drink? I’ll get some water for you.” She then turned to run
ahead of Dolores to pour the water.
Matthew didn’t bother to look at her and said, “You’re fired.”
Candance’s expression changed. Was he referring to her? Impossible.
“Mr. Nelson, it wasn’t me. She was the one whose character is flawed…” Candance tried to explain.
She was flustered. Why did things turn out this way? Shouldn’t it be this woman who was fired?
She noticed the report in her hands and Candance found a reason to beg Matthew and said, “Mr.
Nelson, this is this month’s report. It was that woman who was creating a scene here. I’m a long time
staff here. How could you say that I shouldn’t come anymore? Shouldn’t she be the one who should
leave?”
Matthew’s expression darkened as he looked down on her hands that grabbed his sleeve.
Abbott just came back from some errands and was about to report to Matthew. When he saw
Candance pestering Matthew, he was startled as to what had happened.
Matthew hated others to touch him. What happened when he wasn’t around? What did he miss?
“Mr. Nelson.” Abbott walked over.
“Do not let me see this person in the company anymore.” Matthew flung away Candance’s hand like he
had touched something filthy.
Candance was upset that she was the one who was fired.
“Mr. Nelson…” She wanted to explain further and malign Dolores but Abbott stopped her and calmly
said, “Come, you should know Mr. Nelson’s temper. Since when had he changed his mind?”
“But it wasn’t me!” Candance still didn’t think that she was in the wrong.
Dolores held onto a glass of water and covered her chest with the other hand. Abbott was stunned
when he saw her. How come she was back?
“Ms. Flores.” Abbott nodded and smiled.
Dolores nodded gently, “He’s thirsty, I’ll take this in first.”
“Okay.” Abbott replied.
Abbott looked at Dolores’ wet clothes and could guess what had happened.
Candance was stunned. She looked at Abbott with her eyes wide open, “You called her Ms. Flores, do
you know her?”
“Yes.” Abbott took the document from her, “Give them to me. Pack up your things and leave today.”
“Who is she?” Candance swallowed her saliva and realized Dolores’ connections with Matthew. The
way she reacted to Abbott appeared that they had known each other for a long time.
“Who is she?” Abbott looked at the closed door and thought that she must be someone in Matthew’s
heart.
In the office, Matthew removed his suit jacket and he wore a white long-sleeved shirt. His sleeves were
folded to reveal his forearm.
Dolores placed the glass of water in front of him, “Here you go.”
Matthew raised his gaze…
