Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap

Chapter 71: No Pain, No Gain

She pushed the door open after being permitted.

The office was spacious and unique, with a rectangular desk in the middle and two mannequins

dressed in various gorgeous gowns at the side. In front of her sat an elegant elderly woman. She was

dressed in a small suite with a bun at the back of her head. She was wearing a strand of saltwater

pearl necklace around her neck. The pearls were shiny and uniform in size, complementing the pearl

earrings on her ears and presenting the elegance of the elderly woman to perfection.

“Sit.” Mrs. William was holding an exquisite box in her hand and was fondling it lovingly.

Dolores had a glance and sat down, “What can I do for you?”

Mrs. William put the box on the table still without letting go of her hand. She briefed, “I’m planning to

open a branch in B City in China. You’ll be in charge of it.”

There was only one LEO Corporation. And since its inception, there had been a rule of not setting up a

branch in other countries, just this only one.

And for them, they had received orders from all over the world.

They were one-on-one services, with every gowns and wedding dresses sold were the one and only

one and absolutely unique.

And that was why LEO Corporation was favored by many women.

Mostly for those attending significant occasions, such as celebrities walking down a red carpet or

brides-to-be getting married, their dresses and gowns were indeed essential for them too. It would be

their first choice to go for something that could be customized and absolutely unique.

“Isn’t it stipulated that LEO Corporation will not open any branch?” Dolores was puzzled.

Besides, the branch was to open at China, and even to her surprise, the location was in B City, a place

that she rejected the most.

She would have agreed without hesitation if it was at other countries.

Mrs. William sighed and said helplessly, “No pain, no gain.”

LEO Corporation was established by Mrs. William, and the rules were set by her too.

Mrs. William was in her nineties now, and this rule had been for about sixty years. How could they just

break the rule at will?

“Mrs. William, do you have any hardship?” Dolores looked at the box that Mrs. William had been

fondling.

It was like something too precious stored inside it.

Mrs. William seemed not to be willing to talk any further, “I’ve decided it.”

Dolores felt something way too unusual for this sudden decision.

The chosen location was too coincidental.

She wouldn’t believe it as a coincidence.

If it wasn’t a coincidence, then who would want her to go back?

“Lola, if you don’t agree, there won’t be any shops that want to recruit you.” Mrs. William could tell that

Dolores was reluctant and sighed, “In fact, it isn’t a bad idea. After all, that’s your hometown.”

Dolores felt complicated with her head down, “Can you tell me why to make such a decision?”

“Because of this.” Mrs. William picked up that exquisite box. “I always knew who had kept it. But no

matter how much I offered, that person refused to sell it…”

Mrs. William met with Mr. Nelson from China yesterday afternoon.

He made a trade with Mrs. William with this item. He would give it to Mrs. William, and she had to open

a branch in B City in China with Dolores as the person-in-charge.

And Mrs. William had to warn Dolores that she would be forced out in this industry if she tried to leave

LEO Corporation.

She had to go back, even though she was unwilling!

Dolores pursed her lips, trying to get it right, “Someone gave you a thing, that you always wanted, but

with a condition. That is, opening a branch in B City in China, and the person-in-charge is me?”

Mrs. William shook her head, not to disapprove of her words, but for being too smart.

“A woman is more adorable when acting silly. But I think that gentleman must be very fond of you.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t find me.” Mrs. William liked Dolores very much. She reached out and patted her

shoulder, “You can’t solve your problem by running away. You’re truly letting go of it only if when you

can face the people and things in the past calmly. You’re still taking this to heart, means that you still

haven’t let go of it.”

Dolores didn’t want to admit it, “I’ve let go of it.”

“Since you’ve already let go of it, then what are you afraid of?”

Dolores didn’t know too. Just that, from the bottom of her heart, she felt reluctant to go back. She didn’t

want to meet those people in the past or to recall things that happened before.

Those were too unpleasant.

“I’ve made my decision, and it’s up to you to think it over. I’ll leave you to it.” Mrs. William held that

elegant box, examining it.

As if she saw someone through that box.

Dolores got up and left.

Theresa Gordon was waiting outside for her. When she saw Dolores came out, she hurried, “What are Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

you going to do?”

Theresa was also from China. She came in after two years Dolores did. At that time, she couldn’t be

admitted as she wasn’t graduated in this particular field. It was Dolores that let Theresa follow her and

learning in LEO Corporation.

After knowing Dolores for quite some time, she knew some about Dolores too.

Dolores gave a wry smile, “I have no choice.”

Mrs. William’s words were exact. If she rejected, there wouldn’t be any shop that wanted to hire her.

Mrs. William was reputable in the industry, and people would show respect to her.

“Do you know what is inside Mrs. William’s box?” Dolores was very curious about that thing, that made

her break the rules for many years.

Theresa shook her head, “Not sure.”

Dolores sighed. Although she was curious, her biggest worry now was returning to her country.

She took the file back to her office, browsing through it and got to know her customer needs. She took

out a drawing paper and a pencil, but she couldn’t quiet her mind. She was holding the pencil, but

couldn’t write out anything.

She rubbed her face and let Theresa make her a cup of black coffee.

“Didn’t you rest well last night? You’re not looking good.” Theresa asked with concern.

Dolores took a sip of the coffee. Not just that she didn’t have a good rest, she didn’t even sleep at all.

“This is not urgent. How about you go home and take some rest?” Theresa suggested.

“I can’t sleep even if going back now. I’ll leave you to it.” She took a deep breath, “Life goes on.”

Dolores couldn’t slacken off, especially during this time.

Her kids still needed her.

“Alright, then.”

Theresa walked out of the office and closed the door. Suddenly, a large hand opened the door. Theresa

turned around and saw a tall man standing behind her, “You…”

“Shh!” Matthew Nelson whispered, “I’m looking for her.”

Theresa remembered the way he pulled Dolores away in a sudden that day. They knew each other and

had an unusual relationship.

She took the hint and backed out without saying anything.

Matthew closed the door and went in.

Dolores had calmed down, and she was concentrating on her design.

As the customer requested, the wedding dress should be a wrapped chest, and a wrapped chest

wedding dress would be suitable for a fishtail skirt. This type of mermaid wedding dress required a

specific kind of body shape.

Matthew was standing behind Dolores, looking at her working conscientiously. It was the first time he

saw her drawing.

An ordinary pencil, as if it was enchanted. With just a few strokes, the appearance of a wedding dress

was done on the piece of paper.

Dolores sensed someone standing behind her quietly. She thought it was Theresa, as Theresa had a

habit of watching her drawing, so she didn’t feel strange. “Theresa, do you have any information on the

customer’s height and weight?”

She wanted to choose the design according to the customer’s body shape.

She didn’t hear any reply and so turned around, “Th…”
