My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 185

Ernest whispered to answer, “Nothing special.”

It was an ordinary banquet but Ernest had ordered such a luxurious dress for her. Florence couldn’t help but think that he was way too wealthy.

While bitching about him, Florence circled the dress for few rounds, appreciating the work from the famous designer.

Then she thought of something and turned around to look at Ernest in worry.

“Mr. Hawkins, if I come home to do my hair and makeup after knocking off, would I be too late for the banquet tonight?”

Ernest pressed his lips. “You still can catch up with it. You can take the dress to the company. The stylist could do your hair and makeup in the company’s dressing room.”

After a pause, he added in a deep voice, “Actually you don’t need to work today. You can take a rest in the morning. In the afternoon, after your modeling is done, we can go there together.”

Such a plan sounded quite good as well.

Florence hesitated for a moment, but she shook her head. “I still have something to deal with in the company. There’s nothing to do at home. I’d better go to the company. Mr. Hawkins, are you going to the company?”

As she said, Florence wondered if Ernest didn’t get up early this morning because he didn’t have the plan to go to the company.

If she went to work alone, she wondered if there would be any transportation.

Looking at Florence’s face, Ernest understood what was on her mind.

The banquet tonight was quite important for him, so he had the plan to take one day off without going to the company. He even had called the stylist to come over for Florence’s modeling this afternoon.

However, Ernest naturally nodded. “Of course, I’ll go to work.”

Florence breathed a sigh of relief. She said with a smile, “Then let’s set off from the company after knocking off, shall we?”

“Sure,” Ernest agreed, nodding.

As usual, after Florence and Ernest arrived at the company, they started working.

After the release, Florence had become a famous designer, so as a consequence, she got more work to do.

However, she still had much freedom. After she made a work plan for the whole day, she tried her best to finish her tasks so that she could go to Anthony for the modeling.

In that case, as soon as they knocked off, she could leave with Ernest directly without wasting his time.

Florence had planned everything well, but there was always an unexpected accident.

“Ring... Ring... Ring...”

Suddenly, her cell phone rang. She checked the caller ID and saw it was Phoebe.

She wondered why Phoebe was calling her.

Confused, Florence swiped to answer the phone. “Hello, Phoebe?”

“Boohoo... Flory, help me! Come over...”

Phoebe’s cry in pain was heard from the other end of the line.

Florence was shocked. “Phoebe, what’s wrong with you? What happened?”

“My belly hurt so much. I’m sweating all over my body. I can’t even stand up. The pain almost killed me. My parents are on a business trip now. I can’t find someone else, so I called you...”

“Don’t panic. I’ll go to find you right now. Tell me. Where are you now?”

As she spoke, Florence packed up her handbag, rushing out in a hurry.

Shirley saw Florence leaving, so she followed her hurriedly and asked in confusion, “Florence, what happened? Where are you rushing to?”

“Something happened to my friend. I’m going to find her,” Florence answered casually.

She left her office without looking back.

When she stepped into the elevator, she recalled Ernest’s banquet that she agreed to attend with him. It seemed that she couldn’t make it tonight.

In a hurry, she called Ernest.

“Beep... Beep... Beep...”

She waited for the call to be connected for a long while, but nobody answered the phone.

Florence hesitated. Then she could only press the button to the floor of the CEO’s office.

After arriving on the floor, before entering the CEO’s office, she saw that Ernest was in a meeting through the half-transparent window of the meeting room.

The attendees in the meeting seemed to be all the important directors in the company.
