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?
“Is my character so bad?”
“Are you even a person?” Theresa stared at him coldly. Talking to him was useless.
Seeing that Theresa was really angry, Armand straightened his expressions and said seriously, “Ms.
Flores has been missing for two days and there is no news of her. Now, it’s hard to tell even if she is in
City B or not. Do you believe it now?” After saying that, Armand walked towards the front desk and
stood there. At the front desk, he swept his hand on the table that reflected the people’s face in it and
looked at the receptionist and winked at her.
Although Armand did not come to the company often, everyone knew about his relationship with
Matthew. The receptionist had already seen his interaction with Theresa just now.
Armand knew her.
She knew that Theresa might really have a real reason to meet Matthew.
But she had never seen this woman. Where did she come from?
She couldn’t help but gossiping, “Who is she?”
Armand raised his brows, “It’s nothing you should know about. Gossip less and do your work.”
The receptionist pursed her lips and replied dryly, “Understood. No gossip.”
“Good girl.” Armand smiled at her with a charming gaze.
The receptionist took a sip of water. Although, Armand was not as attractive as Matthew, he was still a
‘diamond’ among ordinary people.
And he had just winked at her just now.
The receptionist was looking at Armand like a love-struck fool, not knowing that she was almost
drooling.
Armand sighed in disgust.
Dolores was missing?
Was it real or fake?
Theresa looked at Armand in confusion. Her worry about Dolores overcame her dislike for him, “Did
something really happened to Dolores?”
She had in fact not been able to contact her for two days.
Armand looked at her as if she was an idiot, “Can such a thing be joked about? Besides, why would I
lie to you?”
“Then what should we do now?” Theresa almost cried anxiously, “What about Samuel and Simona?”
Armand didn’t react for a while, “Samuel and Simona? Who?”
“Dolores son and daughter.”
“Wait...” Armand walked over and pulled her aside. Dolores had been married to Matthew before. It
didn’t last long and was a hidden marriage. Not a lot of people knew about it, only a few close to
Matthew knew.
But now she was saying that Dolores had given birth to children.
Whose children were they?
Matthews?
This was…
After all, after so many years after divorce, it was difficult to say it they were indeed Matthew’s.
Moreover, did Matthew know that Dolores had children?
“You said, Ms. Flores gave birth to two children, how old are they?”
“Five or six years old. They are twins so both are of same age. What is the matter?” Seeing caution in
Armand’s eyes, Theresa also became vigilant. Why was he asking this?
“Do you know that Ms. Flores was married?”
“Yeah.”
In fact, Dolores never told anything about herself to anyone, nor did she mention her short marriage to
Theresa. Theresa only said this because she had guessed.
Because Dolores was not someone to sleep around casually. Theresa had been with her for so long,
knowing her character and personality, she would have never given birth to someone’s children unless
she was married.
And according to her observation, the man she had been married to was Matthew. She didn’t know why
they had divorced in the first place. She could see that Matthew still had feelings for Dolores.
Armand tutted twice, “You know it all, looks like you are quite close to Ms. Flores. Then you would
know the father of the two children…”
“Huh, what do you want to say?” Theresa snorted coldly, obviously feeling that he thought Samuel and
Simona did not belong to Matthew.
“Dolores is not someone who sleeps around casually. Don’t think too much and don’t think that she is a
bad person.” Theresa was angry again because Armand doubted Dolores and her children.
Since childhood, the two children had been raised alone by Dolores. Their father had never fulfilled his
duties even once. But now, even his friends were casually questioning the identity of the two children.
How could she not be angry?
Armand looked at her, “You are angry again.”
“I have nothing to say to you.” Theresa did not want to deal with him at all but out of politeness, she
said, “Thank you for telling me about Dolores.”
After speaking, she turned around and walked. Armand chased her outside, “Wait a minute.”
