Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

As the car window slowly rolled down, Dolores gasped as the mysterious woman was revealed. Dolores would never have guessed she’d see Sampson’s mother smiling back at her. She looked as graceful as always and gave Dolores a small nod in acknowledgment.

‘Why did she come looking for me?’

Dolores tried to ask the driver for information. “Do you know why she wants to speak with me?”

The driver shook his head. “She didn’t say, I’m only the messenger.”

Knowing that Sampson treated her well and was advocating for the best care for Jessica, Dolores figured that his mother wouldn’t have any malicious intentions.

So Dolores turned to the driver. “Okay. Let’s go.”

Dolores walked over to the car and smiled at Camilla with a polite greeting. “Hello, Mrs. Herbert.”

Camilla sat with proper posture and her smile brightened as Dolores approached. “Ms. Flores, are you free at the moment? There’s a café not far away. How about we head over there for some drinks?”

Dolores pondered it for a moment before nodding in nodded.

“Please, get in and we’ll be on our way.”

The driver walked over and opened the door for Dolores to climb in and sit next to Camilla. The driver then climbed in himself and drove off.

It wasn’t long before the car stopped in front of the building and Dolores followed Camilla into the café.

Camilla chose a relatively quiet table in the back corner and motioned for Dolores to take the seat across from her.

After only a few moments, a server walked over. “Good day. What can I get you?”

Camilla put her handbag onto the bench next to her and looked at Dolores. “Order anything you’d like, dear, it’s on me?”

“Just a cup of water for now, please,” Dolores replied dully.

“I’ll have that as well. We’ll call you later if we need you.”
