Thinking of how he could punish Florence, Ernest raised his hand and snapped his laptop.
All the senior executives in the video conference were confused when seeing the darkened screen.
They couldn’t help wondering what happened.
Would the meeting be continued?
It was so hard to figure out what was on the CEO’s mind.
Ernest was not in the mood to deal with his business again. Walking out of the study, he was about to go back to his bedroom and take a shower.
After he walked a few steps, he heard someone speaking at the corner not far away.
It seemed that Charlotte was speaking on the phone.
“Florence, have you arrived?”
Upon hearing that she was calling Florence, Ernest stopped moving.
Then, he overheard “not really. I just want to check on you. How’s going with your date with Cooper?
“I saw him hugging you in that way yesterday, so I know he likes you very much. Today you are dating... Florence, honestly, is Cooper the man you like for real?
“Haha... It seems I’ve disturbed your date. All right. Tell me when you come back home. Enjoy your date!”
Hearing what Charlotte said, Ernest looked more and more annoyed. His face was as dark as the ink-plate, looking quite terrible.
Florence didn’t want him to go with her just because she was having dinner with Cooper...
Ernest had never expected that the person would be Cooper.
Charlotte hung up the phone, walking over as if she didn’t do it intentionally. Then she acted to be quite surprised to see Ernest standing there.
“Er… Ernest, why are you here?”
Thinking of what she had said just now, she looked quite guilty. “When did you come here? Have you heard what I was talking on the phone?”
Ernest pursed his thin lips without speaking.
His body emanated sharp coldness and the atmosphere around him was extremely low and dangerous, quite terrible.
With an arctic cold look, he strode forward.
Seeing him like this, Charlotte pretended to be quite panicked as if something secret was found by him.
Hurriedly she explained, “Ernest, please listen to me. I was just kidding with my sister. She has nothing to do with Cooper. They are just having dinner as friends. Please don’t misunderstand her.”
Her words sounded quite sincere, but seemingly she was telling a very poor lie that revealed the truth.
“Besides, Ernest, you are such an excellent man. You and my sister love each other. My sister cares about you, so she wouldn’t be tangled with other men ambiguously. My sister is always a loyal woman.”
Ernest’s face looked even colder.
It didn’t matter if Florence was a loyal woman or not. The most important was that Florence didn’t love him at all.
She used to have an extremely good relationship with Cooper and Cooper always had a crush on her. However, she didn’t reject him at all...
Ernest couldn’t help but wonder if Florence loved Cooper...
“Bang!”
Ernest kicked the bedroom door open irritably.
The coldness around him almost formed the ice. He strode in.
“Ernest, please don’t over-think it. My sister is not dating Cooper...” Charlotte explained anxiously.
When she was about to follow him in, the door of the bedroom suddenly was smashed towards her face.
She hurriedly backed up, dodging from the smash narrowly. Then she heard an extremely loud bang smashing the door close.
The door was smashed from the inside, shutting her out.
Behind the door, she couldn’t see Ernest’s current status. However, she curled up her lips into a complacent and vicious smile.
Ernest was angry.
For a man with such a high status, he could never endure that his fiancée would cheat on him.
Charlotte was looking forward to Florence’s return very much, wondering how Ernest would deal with Florence.
A punishment?
Or the cancellation of their engagement.
