Ernest asked unhappily, “Timothy, where’s my breakfast?”
Timothy, who was at the other end of the phone, was a bit sunned and hastily replied, “When I sent you the breakfast, I bumped into Miss Charlotte. She was preparing breakfast and told me that just leave it to her. And she let me go.”
“So you followed her order and left?”
Ernest’s tone of voice became colder and gloomier, “You’re even not clear about who is your boss. Do you want to get fired?”
“Sir, I was wrong.” Timothy instantly admitted his mistake sincerely.
Ernest’s tone was still colder, “Remember my living habits. No one will be an exception for me, except Florence.”
“Yes Sir. I’ll remember it.”
“Send me a breakfast again.” Ernest hung up the phone coldly.
Florence, who was standing by his side, looked at him in a dumbfounded state.
She heard clearly of what he said just now. ‘No one will be an exception, except Florence. So he had been pampering her?
She was a special exception for him?
And this was the reason why he would accompany her to eat street snacks, to eat the unsavory noodles she cooked, and to allow her to use his kitchen…
Florence’s heart suddenly skipped one beat and she felt as if she had been struck by electric shock.
Originally she was quite sure that Ernest had no feelings for her. But now she was not certain of it.
Timothy sent a new breakfast over after a short while. He knew that he had done something wrong and was quite ginger this time, but Ernest still gazed at him coldly.
Timothy felt very stressful.
Charlotte walked forward, “Let me help you.”
As she was speaking, she reached out to the bowls and dishes in the meal box. But Timothy dodged her swiftly.
This time, Timothy was quite resolute. Moreover, he was discontented with Charlotte.
“No need. I can do it by myself. Mr. Hawkins doesn’t like outsiders to touch his food.”
Outsider! Again!
Ernest said that she was an outsider, now even his assistant also said that.
Charlotte felt extremely embarrassed and her face turned burning hot with anger brewing in her heart.
But Timothy ignored her and quickly placed the dishes and bowls on the table and then quickly left the room under Ernest’s cold gaze.
He now understood thoroughly after today’s accident that Florence was the only special one in Ernest’s heart.
And that he only needed to play up to Florence in the future.
When seeing Charlotte’s gloomy face, Florence knew how she felt inwardly. She sighed helplessly.
If someone angered Ernest, he would pick on him/her until he/she was extremely embarrassed.
However, Charlotte was her sister after all. Florence could only say to her with a smile, “Come here to have breakfast.”
Charlotte seated herself. But obviously she was in a bad mood and had a poor appetite, so she just casually took some bites.
With an outsider at the table, Ernest also lost his appetite and he put down his chopsticks after a short while.
Florence was the only one to enjoy the dishes. But as Charlotte and Ernest had finished the breakfast, she felt embarrassed to eat too much.
Therefore, the breakfast time ended quickly.
Ernest hadn’t taken a glance at Charlotte again during the whole breakfast and totally ignored her.
He stood to his feet and said to Florence, “I’ll go to the study. Send me a cup of coffee later.”
“Okay.” Florence replied quickly.
Charlotte was totally ignored as if she was transparent. She sat at the table and was shrouded in depression.
After a long while, when seeing that Florence was about to go upstairs with a cup of coffee at her hand, she suddenly said, “Florence, Ernest don’t like me, right?”
