Dolores turned her head to look at Matthew and asked rhetorically, âIs it that obvious what I had done?â
âWhat you did was subtle, itâs only because I know you too well that I noticed.â Matthew gave her a look with a smile, âDo we have a mutual affinity?â. Dolores was speechless.
She didnât argue with him, âI think Armand still loves Theresa.â
âHe didnât change. He just made some mistakes in the past.â Matthew spoke for her friend, âYou will advise Theresa.â
âI canât read her mind,â Dolores said frankly.
She also hoped that someone could take care of Theresa. Instead of finding a new boyfriend for her, she preferred Armand to be her boyfriend. Although she had made some mistakes before, she had learned her lesson.
However, Theresa treats him with indifference. She is not willing to give him a second chanceâ.
She said she wanted to have a celebration party for Boyce and she was sincere, after all, Boyceâs ability and character were competent for this position. She also wanted to use the celebration party to create an opportunity for Theresa to spend time with Armand at the villa.
âAll people have their lifestyle. You donât have to worry too much about it.â Matthew didnât want her to worry about other peopleâs affairs.
Dolores understood what he meant, âI wonât meddle, just create some opportunities for Armand. Itâs a good thing if they can still have a relationship. If they canât, I can only say itâs fate. Iâm not going to persuade Theresa. If she still loves Armand, she will see the good in Armand. If she no longer loves him, itâs useless to persuade her.â
âItâs good that you understand.â Matthew agreed with her.
He didnât like to meddle in other peopleâs love affairs and hoped Dolores wouldnât meddle too much. They were all adults and had their own way of thinking. It was okay to help, but not to impose oneâs own ideas on others.
As they were talking, the car pulled into the companyâs subway parking lot. Matthew parked the car and pushed the door down. When he went over to open the door for Dolores, she had already opened the door and got out. Matthew grabbed her hand.
Dolores struggled for a moment, âIs this going to be bad?â
After all, it was already all over the Internet. There was speculation about her identity and rumors that she was an adult content star and so on.
Although she didnât care, she didnât want to be talked about either. Some of the nasty words made her sad.
Matthew looked at her, âWhatâs wrong with that?â
They were real husbands. Dolores was not a cheater and he was not meeting a mistress. They were open and honest. The more they hid it, the more people would imagine.
Dolores was incapable of winning him over, so she could only let him hold her hand and step into the elevator.
The rumors on the internet were so hot that they spread in the company. When they saw them appear together in the company, they were greeted with more enthusiasm than usual.
The elevator stopped with a clink and soon the door opened. They stepped out one after the other. As they passed the secretaryâs desk, Matthew asked, âAre you thirsty?â
Dolores nodded, âIâm a little hungry.â
She hadnât eaten anything this morning and now she was hungry.
âWhat do you want to eat? My secretary will go buy it.â
âSautéed pumpkin with egg yolk, butterscotch pudding and red bean pie,â Dolores said a string of desserts, now she was on the verge of drooling thinking about food.
Matthew turned to give her a look. They were all sweets, but if she liked them she would still buy them, he ordered his secretary to buy them, âBuy freshly squeezed juice too.â After saying that, she added, âFresh orange juice.â
He was worried that sweet desserts would disgust him, so fresh orange juice, which had some acidity, could offset the sweetness.
The secretary replied, âIâm going to buy now. The head of the public relations department came to see you just now and asked me to call him when you come in, shall I call him to come in now?â
Matthew said yes, âAsk him to come over.â
After saying that, he led Dolores into the office. The secretary saw that her boss was very considerate of Dolores. Thinking about the denigration of some Internet surfers, she couldnât help but scoff at those uninformed people who liked to speculate blindly.
After entering the office, Dolores told him, âDo what you have to do, Iâll wait for you in the living room.â
Matthew had some work to do, so he told her to wait for him in the living room. âIf you want to sleep, take a nap on the couch.â
Dolores said yes, but it repulsed her in her heart, it didnât seem appropriate to sleep in her workplace.
She sat down on the couch and picked up a random book to read.
After a while, there was a knock on the office door. Matthew looked up and said, âCome in.â
Soon, the head of the PR department pushed open the door and walked in, inadvertently seeing Dolores sitting on the couch, he greeted her with a smile, âHello, Mrs. Nelson.â
Dolores felt extremely uncomfortable with this title and smiled stiffly, nodding politely in response.
âIs something wrong?â Matthew put down the document in his hand and leaned back in his chair.
âHave you read the news about yourself?â the head of the public relations department asked bluntly.
Matthew quietly replied yes.
âOur official account is going to be in serious trouble soon. I think you need to make some clarifications,â said the head of the PR department.
Matthew frowned, âWhat does the official account have to do with me?â.
âThe official account is the official company account, not my personal account.â
âWhat happened?â
The head of the PR department explained, âItâs like this, canât you see that the followers of our official account have reached 70 million?â
Matthew leaned over lazily, âIsnât it the PR departmentâs business?â.
The head of the PR department smiled, âYes, it is our business, however, a corporate account can only attract the attention of so many people.â
â¿Y?â
âThatâs why we usually publish the photos of business owners.â The head of the PR department said truthfully, âPeople donât pay attention to the business, they pay attention to the business owners. They pay attention to the business incidentally.â
Matthew looked at him. He was always confident in his ability. He really didnât pay too much attention to public relations. He would occasionally glance at the official Weibo, but he didnât pay too much attention to what was posted. After listening to her words, he took a look at the previous postings on the official Weibo.
He was surprised to see that the postings were all pictures of him.
âYou are more attractive than the company, so he thinks itâs an advertisement for the company,â said the head of the public relations department.
Matthewâs head ached. He pressed his forehead hard: âSo, youâre the one who created all my problems?â.
The head of the PR department unhurriedly explained, âHow dare I create problems for you? I just think you can take this opportunity to reveal your wifeâs identity and let the employees attend your wedding party.â
Matthew looked up. It was clearly a mocking tone, but there was a smile on his face, âThe way you put it, do I still have to thank you?â
âIf you think Iâve done you a favor, just give the employees a large amount of money when you get married.â The head of the public relations department was very good at reading peopleâs minds.
He knew Matthew was not angry before he said this, âYou were single before, but now you have suddenly appeared in public with your wife, which will naturally attract a lot of attention. There is a lot of good and bad speculation about the identity of your wife. Of course, the good ones are good and the bad ones are really bad. I think itâs time for you to give your wife an identity.â
All of this he said putting himself in a womanâs shoes. Although I could see Matthew treating Dolores very well, without an identity of her own, there would always be speculation.
How could Matthew not want it? He had been thinking about it for a long time, but too much had happened to delay it and now she was pregnant.
âI know. You can retire and do your business now.â Matthew understood her words .
