My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 18

Although Ernest had extended the time limit for her to hand in the design outline, it was the first time that Florence had played a leading role in such an important project and carried out the task alone, so she was busy with the project until getting off work.

She stretched herself lazily in her working position, stood to her feet and then headed towards the toilet.

The moment she walked into the toilet, she came across Elise.

Florence didn’t like her, so she didn’t intend to greet her and walked straightly towards inside.

Elise stared at Florence jealously and maliciously.

She stopped Florence and pushed her shoulder unscrupulously.

“You pushed yourself forward at today’s meeting in front of all staff of the company, are you feeling quite complacent now?”

As Elise had exerted great forces, Florence felt a sharp pain on her shoulder and took two steps backward uncontrollably.

She knitted her brows and warned Elise with detest, “Elise Bennett, we’re still in the company now. Don’t be physical and provocative.”

The company banned by explicit rules that fistfight or group scuffle were not allowed among its employees because such kind of actions would have a strong impact on the company’s reputation. It was also a big blow to a designer’s reputation.

Elise was indeed a person who knew what should be done and what shouldn’t; however, she had lost control of herself as she was extremely angered by Florence.

If it was not because of Florence, her design draft would have been selected and she would be the winner of the competition, which meant that she would be granted the opportunity to design the new president’s attire and that her status as a designer would be promoted.

Moreover, she saw Florence nestling in Ernest’s arms in the office yesterday. If it was not because of Florence, she would be the woman in his arms.

She should be the one who enjoyed all these, but the opportunities were snatched by Florence.

“Florence Fraser, you made me feel uncomfortable. Wanna peace? Your wish!” Elise took a step forward to snatch Florence’s phone, walked into a toilet cubicle and then threw it into the toilet bowl.

Florence stomped her feet in anger seeing her phone being thrown into the water.

“Are you insane?”

“It’s just a warning for you tonight. Florence Fraser, if you don’t leave the company on your own, I will not show mercy to you anymore. I will definitely ruin you.” Elise threatened her ferociously and then strode towards the door in high heels.

When she walked out of the toilet, she slammed closed the door.

Florence furrowed her brows remorsefully with a gust of fret surging in her heart.

She wished so much that Elise was not an employee of her company as she felt disgusted to be her colleague.

Florence took out some tissues and picked up the phone from the toilet bowl and then wiped clean the phone. Nevertheless, the phone had been damaged by water and could not be turned on.

She could only put the phone into her pocket as she didn’t have any other choices and then walked out of the toilet.

Nevertheless, when she reached the door and put her hand on the door handle, she found she couldn’t open the door no matter how much forces she had exerted.

The toilet was locked from outside?

The one who did this must be Elise Bennett.

Florence was so angry that she even became speechless. This woman was really so silly that she even locked her in the toilet.

She swatted the door, “Elise Bennett, hurry up to open the door!”

“Open the door! Can you not be so childish?”

“Elise Bennett, if you don’t open the door, I will tell the Director about this as well as the president! Let’s see how you will explain to them if I tell them.”

…

Florence shouted so hysterically that she lost her voice. Nevertheless, she still didn’t get any reaction from Elise and no one came to open the door for her.

Generally speaking, the staff of the company just got off work and some employees would come to the toilet during this period. But the weird thing was that no one came here.

As Florence had no idea about what Elise had done outside, she became more and more restless.

Was Elise going to lock her in the toilet for the whole night?

When thinking of this, Florence felt coldness creeping onto her back. She hurriedly turned around to lean against the door, but when looking at the row of toilet cubicle, she felt more terrified.

At nine o’clock in the evening…

There was no needless guess in YY International Hotel as apparently someone had made a block booking.

Two arrays of ceremonial usherettes in short dresses were standing at the entrance and greeting the guests in unison, their voice sweet and pleasant.

“Welcome, Mr. Hawkins.”
