My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 216

Florence had hesitated for a long while, but she failed to make an excuse.

Fortunately, an incoming call rescued her.

After Ernest answered the call, he looked a bit solemn.

He turned around to look at Florence and said, “I’m going to have a video conference. It’ll take around half an hour.”

“Okay.” Florence nodded, seeing that he looked a bit anxious. Then she watched him walk into the study of the suite.

He was indeed quite busy. After walking in, he had been sitting in front of his laptop, concentrating on his work.

It was indeed an opportunity for her now.

While Ernest didn’t pay attention to her, Florence sneaked out of the suite in secret.

When she left the room, she looked back while feeling worried. Until she walked into the elevator, she didn’t see her suite door open. Then she breathed a sigh of relief. She took the elevator to go downstairs.

Ernest’s visit was so sudden that she was off guard.

Florence felt flustered as long as she was staying in the hotel. Checking the time, she found it was almost the appointed time for her to go to explore the fashion of Riverside City with Reynold.

She could take the chance to hide from Ernest.

She wondered if nobody would notice them as long as she didn’t appear in the hotel with Ernest at the same time.

At the thought of it, Florence went to the gate of the hotel to wait for Reynold.

However, just after she had been standing there shortly, a tall and strong figure approached her unexpectedly. She smelt the familiar scent from the person.

She turned around and found it was Ernest.

Florence was so scared that she took several steps back, gaping at Ernest.

“Why, why are you here?”

Instead of answering her question, Ernest looked around.

Then he asked in a deep voice, “What are you doing here?”

“Waiting for someone, of course,” Florence answered.

Then she took a few more steps back and distanced herself from Ernest.

However, Ernest strode forward and approached her.

He asked again, “Whom are you waiting for?”

Florence answered honestly, “Reynold.”

Ernest’s face fell immediately. “You sneaked out just for meeting Reynold Myron?”

There was a threat with jealousy in his sinking tone.

Florence shook her head to deny, “I’m going out to work with him.”

Ernest pressed his thin lips, gazing at Florence in disbelief.

Florence could only explain again, “I’m going on a field trip with him to browse the fashion of Riverside City. Reynold knows the most. Hence he will show me around.”

Florence looked sincere, and Ernest could tell that she wasn’t lying.

It was not until then did Ernest look better. He reached out and grabbed Florence’s hand.

“I just arrived here, so I should invite my employees for dinner. I gave all of you a day off today.”

After finishing his words, Ernest pulled Florence to walk into the hotel without giving her a chance to resist.

Florence was totally confused. A day off?

How suddenly!

Looking at Ernest, she tried to explain again, “Mr. Hawkins, Reynold, and I are truly going on the field trip for study. You don’t have to do this.”

“I truly want to invite my employees for dinner. What do you think?” Ernest asked.

He glinted at her with sharpness and danger.

Florence was rendered speechless, feeling quite uncomfortable. She couldn’t retort that he had done it for her, could she? It would sound so narcissistic.

Since she couldn’t win against Ernest, Florence had to give up.

“Mr. Hawkins, please let go of me. Since we’ve canceled the trip, I need to call Reynold and inform him.”
