My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 186

In the company.

After Ernest finished his meeting, there was still an hour left for him to knock off.

It was just the right time for Florence to do the modeling.

Ernest went directly to the stylist after the meeting was dismissed. He also asked Timothy to check what Florence was doing. If she was not busy, he could take her to the dressing room directly.

Anthony had been waiting in the dressing room a long time ago. Seeing Ernest coming in, he raised the goblet in his hands to Ernest.

“Happy birthday, birthday man.”

“Thank you.”

Ernest’s mood was obviously quite good. He sat on a sofa casually.

Anthony raised his eyebrows and looked behind him. “Hasn’t Florence come yet?”

He was waiting here for doing the hair and makeup for Florence. As for Ernest, he was a man, so he didn’t need to do something so delicate. Besides, based on Ernest’s handsome face, something simple would be enough.

Ernest nodded. He picked up a goblet of wine and had a taste.

Anthony checked the door again. For the time being, nobody was seen over there.

With a smile, he teased, “Ernest, all through the years, this is the first time I’ve seen you holding a birthday party for yourself, and you’ve made it so grand. What’s your plan?”

“What do you think?”Ernest asked casually.

He took a sip of the wine, and a slight arc was shown at the corners of his mouth.

Anthony’s guess had been confirmed.

He couldn’t help but heave a sigh. “TSK. TSK. Sure enough, it’s for Florence. Although the engagement ceremony was grand as well, only the family and relatives of the Hawkins family attended. For your birthday banquet this time, you’ve invited all people in the upper-class of City N. I guess you’re planning to formally introduce Florence to all of them.”

Online and in the private, there were crazy rumors about his relationship with Florence. Even there was some news about preparing their wedding on the Hawkins family’s side. However, his relationship with Florence hadn’t be announced officially for even just once.

Ernest wanted to give Florence everything undisputed.

“Crick crack... Crick crack..”

Some footsteps were heard on the corridor outside.

Ernest’s hand holding the goblet paused. He looked in the direction of the door, his eyes filled with some expectation.

As the footsteps got closer, a man’s figure appeared at the door.

Timothy came in, looking quite solemn.

However, there was nobody following him.

With a trace of disappointment in his heart, Ernest looked up at Timothy, and his sharp sights were with doubts.

Timothy felt a sense of guilt.

After hesitating for a while, he said, “Mr. Hawkins, I went to the design department, but they said that Ms. Fraser left the company in the afternoon. She didn’t tell them when she would come back.”

Ernest frowned. “Where has she gone?”

“She didn’t tell them.”

As soon as Timothy finished his words, Ernest looked annoyed. Timothy immediately added, “Probably Ms. Fraser went out for something urgent. She might come back later.”

Anthony also echoed, “Yeah. It’s still an hour left before knocking off. We can wait for Florence to come back. She wouldn’t be late.”

Pressing his lips and sitting there, Ernest emanated an aura that lowered the air pressure around him.

One hour passed in a blink.

It was time to knock off, but Florence still hadn’t come back to the company.

Ernest looked more and more annoyed. He couldn’t help checking the door from time to time, but Florence still didn’t show up.

He wondered where she had gone.

Anthony was also waiting together with him. The longer he waited, the more flustered he felt.

It was such an important day today. How could Florence suddenly leave the company?

It was so late now, and the banquet was about to begin. Florence hadn’t done the hair and makeup yet. Anthony was afraid that she would be late for the banquet.

He whispered to Timothy, “Go and check on Florence again to see if she has come back. If not, just check where she has gone.”

“All right.”
