My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 12

“Cooperate with me, and let’s finish what we started last night,” Ernest said nonchalantly, but his resoluteness to achieve his goal was conveyed through his imperative tone.

Florence’s fluke mentality that she had gotten away from the matter yesterday shattered as he brought it up again.

She stared at Ernest and said adamantly, “Mr. Hawkins, I will definitely submit the summary to you tomorrow.”

After finishing her sentence, Florence packed her belongings hurriedly as she could not bring herself to look at Ernest again.

“I will get off work now, see you tomorrow.” She grasped her bag and bolted at the speed of light, dreading being in the same room space with Ernest any longer.

Florence walked out from the lobby of the company but was surprised to be greeted with a downpour. Pea-sized rain droplets struck the floor relentlessly, and the gusty storm came with a blustery wind that blew vigorously on her.

Florence couldn’t help but to shiver uncontrollably. She looked out from the lobby, frantically trying to search for taxis nearby butt that was to no avail.

The taxi drivers must have gotten off work and gone home in this horrible weather, she thought to herself. Her colleagues had left too, leaving her no one to share an umbrella with.

Her only option now was to make a dash to the subway station which was around a few hundred metres away in the heavy shower…

Staring firmly at the pouring rain, Florence gritted her teeth and mustered her courage to sprint for the subway station after some moment of hesitation. Just when she was about to take off, a limited-edition customized Lamborghini stopped in front of her.

The back-seat window rolled down at a slow pace, unveiling Ernest’s stunning face. He looked at her, his thin lips opening slightly, and he said, “Get in.”

Florence was indecisive, standing still on the ground as she carefully weighed the benefits of getting a lift at times like this. Even though it was very tempting, she felt uneasy and fearful to take a ride in Ernest’s vehicle.

Ernest pursed his thin lips lightly, and danger started to manifest in his gaze on her.

“Why? Do I look scary?” he asked.
