Snare of Love
Chapter 107: Men Are All The Same

Dolores was speechless.

She didn't respond as she didn't have much to do and that Terry would go over afterward. Teresa could handle the work at the shop. She hadn't been so free for a long while.

After she gave birth to Samuel and Simona, she had to prepare for the examination, and thereafter she had to work. She had not relaxed for several years. She should use these days to rest. She leaned back into the chair, retracted her hand from Matthew, and said, "Drive carefully."

Matthew felt that he was missing something even though he was holding onto the steering wheel. He felt the emptiness and only when he was closer to this woman would he feel more complete.

It was red lights at the traffic junction. He seemed to unconsciously place his hand onto Dolores' thigh. Dolores was speechless... this man.

He even started to grab her gently and before Dolores could object, he said, "We are married." If you don't sleep with me, at least let me touch, he thought. He was a regular man and she couldn't expect him to be a monk.

A woman's thigh was a very private part of her body. Furthermore, he was very daring to continue to rub her thigh until she was starting to feel aroused. She grabbed a part of her clothes tightly and looked away, and did not dare to look at him.

Her heart continued to pound and didn't seem to be able to control her own heart. She couldn't seem to control her emotions whenever she was with him. Dolores didn't object and Matthew felt satisfied. His hand remained on her thigh but didn't move. He continued to drive towards the towering business district.

Very soon, the car reached the WY group building underground garage. It was a new car Matthew had just bought for Dolores and it had not been registered with the car parking system. The guard yelled, "This is a garage for WY group and is not opened to the public. Please go elsewhere."

Matthew wound down the window and as soon as the guard saw him, he quickly raised the barrier and welcomed, "Oh, it's Mr. Nelson, I didn't know that it was you." He definitely shouldn't stop the boss from entering for fear of losing his job. He looked at the woman seated beside Matthew and was stunned. He had been working at that place for almost five years and had never seen a woman in Matthew's car. This was the first time and he couldn't help but take a good look at her. Matthew glared at him and wound up the window to block his view.

After the car was parked, Matthew gave the keys to Dolores and she took them over.

"Thanks." Although he kept emphasizing that they were married, Dolores knew that this marriage was not done willingly and out of mutual attraction. It was an arranged marriage by the parents.

She found out that this car cost over a million yuan. He didn't want any money from her but she felt uncomfortable and should express her gratitude.

"Do you really want to show your gratitude?" Matthew grinned.

Dolores said naturally, "But of course."

He leaned over, "If you really mean it, then kiss me to express your gratitude, hmm?"

Dolores was speechless. What's up with this man? Didn't he know where this was? It was his office! What if someone saw him?

Dolores pushed him and said, "Don't mess around."

"Then you owe me." He took Dolores' hand and placed it in his arm and walked to the lift.

Dolores was uncomfortable and bit her lips as she said, "Would it be inappropriate for the staff to see us this way?" Her status was rather awkward.

Furthermore, he had just rejected a marriage. Would others think that she was the cause of that?

"I don't want others to think that I'm a mistress. I don't like it." She didn't like the concept of a mistress. The notion of falling in love at the wrong time or meeting the loved one at the wrong moment... All these were excuses to her.

Just like Randolph had a change of heart and couldn't be bothered about the life and death of his wife for the sake of his enjoyment.

"We'll do this in the future..." She was willing to hold his hands in public if he still liked her and not due to the current surge of emotions.

Matthew was deep in thoughts. He also didn't like mistresses because there was one in his family. He let go of Dolores' hand.

When the lift stopped, some people stepped in and greeted Matthew, "Mr. Nelson." Matthew gently nodded in acknowledgment. It was unusually quiet in the lift.

Matthew slowly reached over to touch Dolores' hand and she felt the electrifying touch and quickly shifted her hand behind her and took a step away from him.

One of the staff in the lift turned around to look at Dolores and asked, "Are you working at WY group? How come I've not seen you around?"

Dolores worked several days at WY six years ago to do some translation work for Matthew. Time had gone by so quickly and definitely no one would remember her after all this time. Dolores didn't know how to respond other than to say, "I'm new here."

"Oh? Which department?" A male colleague asked.

Dolores was speechless and wrung her hands.

Matthew stood still and took up a good portion of the lift. He grinned slightly and was curious about how Dolores would respond.

Ding.

That colleague got off the lift. Dolores heaved a sigh of relief as her shoulders relaxed.

"I'm short of a secretary," Matthew said.

Dolores looked at him and rejected, "Impossible, I have my own job."

She didn't want to serve him. She would be insane to give up doing what she liked as a designer to work as a secretary for him.

"Do you want me to speak to Mrs. William to close her branch here?" Matthew asked.

Dolores immediately faltered, "No."

"No what?" Matthew pressed on.

"Don't say that to Mrs. William," Dolores replied.

"Okay. Kiss me and I won't." Matthew teased.

Dolores was speechless and almost lost her mind at his antics.

"Aren't you being a scoundrel?" Dolores glared her eyes.

"I always am." Matthew declared.

Dolores was speechless once again.

Matthew suddenly grabbed Dolores' waist and before she could react, she could feel him breathing down her neck. His soft lips pressed onto her forehead. Matthew very quickly released her and the entire process happened so quickly that Dolores thought that she was hallucinating. But she knew that it wasn't. She could still feel clearly the warmth on her forehead and his lingering breath.

He stood on one side and grinned like a kid who just received a toy.

As the lift stopped, Matthew got off the lift and walked towards his office, and said, "I'm thirsty."

Dolores looked around and didn't see anyone else. Was he talking to me? She thought. It was obvious that he was talking to her because there wasn't anyone else around them. Did he really treat her as his secretary? Dolores sighed and she went to the pantry with familiarity as if she had worked here. She found the pantry easily and poured a glass of water for him.

There were some changes here. In the past, there were several women but now there were only men at this level. She sighed emotionally as she pondered how time could change a lot of things.

The manager of the finance department, Candance Jones, was taking a monthly report for Matthew to sign.

She met Dolores just as they were entering the Director's office.

Dolores carelessly spilled some water onto her and her expression darkened instantly.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
