My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 233

Since Ernest joined the meeting so suddenly, the noisy meeting room quieted down immediately.

Everyone gazed at Ernest in surprise and nervousness. They all stood up from their seats, standing straight.

Ernest ignored all of them except that he looked over at Florence deeply.

Seeing that she was sitting next to Reynold and they were so close to each other. He felt that they were so intimate as if they would hug each other at any time.

Moreover, the harmony between them was like the sparks flying over the gas, which immediately made Ernest furious.

He couldn’t help wondering if it was because of Reynold that Florence kept resisting him.

Did she have a crush on this man whom she just got to know a few days?

Florence was studying the documents in her hands carefully. She sensed that there was a weird silence around her together with a threatening coldness that was targeting her.

She raised her head and found the tall and strong man standing at the door.

The warm sunshine shining outside the window fell on him, making him outstanding and handsome. However, he emanated more and more coldness as if he was wrapped with the frost. He walked towards her step by step.

Feeling the coldness raised from the bottom of her feet, Florence tightened her body by instinct.

Noticing that the smile disappeared from Florence’s face, Ernest looked more annoyed. The fury inside his heart almost reached the boundary to explode.

In Reynold’s presence, she could smile so brightly. But she could never smile so freely in front of him.

The jealousy that Ernest had never had before almost ruined his reason.

He looked extremely irritated, striding over to Florence.

Gazing at her sharply, he had dangerous flames burning in his eyes as if she would be burned into ashes the next second.

Sensing the attacking aura from the man, Florence couldn’t help but recall what had happened last night.

He was just so fierce and dangerous as he was now.

He almost had swallowed her alive.

Florence’s nerves were so tightened as if they were about to break down. Subconsciously, she stood up and wanted to leave in a hurry, distancing herself from him.

However, as soon as she moved, Ernest grabbed her wrist.

His palm was quite hot. However, when the heat reached Florence’s skin, she felt extremely cold.

Ernest asked in a pretty low voice, “Where else are you planning to go?”

Florence stiffed, her face pale.

His question was reechoed in her mind. Last night, she escaped from the room. She wondered if he came here to catch her.

Reynold also stood up. Reaching out his hand, he grabbed Ernest’s wrist. Although he was smiling, he behaved quite aggressively.

“Mr. Hawkins, could you please let go of Florence first?”

Staring at the man’s hand on his wrist, Ernest frowned in disgust.

He suddenly shook off Reynold’s hand forcibly and stared daggers at Reynold.

“You don’t deserve to mind my business yet.”

He was so proud and arrogant, his words full of threats.

Although Reynold was famous and powerful, he was just a famous designer starting from scratch. No matter how good his career was and how many achievements he would make, even he would become one of the rich, he still couldn’t compare with Ernest’s in terms of the background.

As long as Ernest would do something to him, Reynold probably would disappear from the design business.

If he were smart, he wouldn’t have the guts to be against Ernest at this moment, because it was to make fun of his own career and future if he did so.

Others were also worried about Reynold, extremely nervous. They thought that Reynold would have analyzed the current situation and give in provoking this angry man.

Much to their surprise, Reynold put away the smile on his face. Gazing at Ernest, he didn’t look fearful at all.

His tone was even full of provocation.

“Florence is my friend. If it’s her business, I have the right to help her. No matter who the person is, as long as she’s bullied, I won’t allow this to happen.”

As he spoke, Reynold took a step forward. His tall and strong body stood in front of Florence like a mountain, hiding her behind.

It was the posture when a man was protective of a woman.
