My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 234

Florence froze, having no guts to move at all.

She knew Ernest somehow. There was nothing in this world that he dared not to do. If she stubbornly wanted to be against him now, it was highly possible that he would do something.

Florence still wanted to get along with all the coworkers in this meeting room. She didn’t want to make the situation too embarrassing that she couldn’t continue staying here.

Gritting her teeth, she whispered, “Let go of me first.”

“Okay.”

Ernest let go of Florence’s wrist obediently, still gazing at her.

His gaze was like an invisible chain, tying her up.

Florence sat straight in the chair helplessly.

The chairs were only a few centimeters away from each other. However, Ernest’s temperament was so strong, or perhaps he had such a huge impact on Florence, she found it so uncomfortable.

Her heart couldn’t help hammering.

Ernest’s gaze was glued on Florence from the very beginning. Hence, he had found that although she sat down next to him, she was sitting on the edge of the chair, trying her best to keep the longest distance from him.

Her sitting gesture was stiffened. She sat straight, looking quite nervous and awkward.

Ernest’s eyes kept being darkened. Before yesterday, Florence and he had got along more and more harmoniously. She used to be quite restrained, but later she had become easy and relaxed.

However, what happened last night made their progress in vain.

Florence had become more distant and resistant to him than she was when they first got to know each other.

Upon realizing it, Ernest felt as if he had swallowed a cotton ball, which was stuck in his throat. He couldn’t puke it or swallow it down. However, he couldn’t move harshly. Otherwise, Florence would be frightened again.

She had a lot of resistance in their relationship originally. He couldn’t do things that to push her further.

The farce seemed to stop. Everything returned to peace. Looking at Ernest who was sitting next to Florence, Reynold felt so disgusted.

It seemed that there was a pressure in his heart, and he felt quite upset.

He tried hard to suppress the depression and sat down on the other side of Florence.

Ernest’s eyes were darkened. He stared daggers at Reynold dangerously.

His eyes were full of silent threats.

However, Reynold seemed not to see it.

Looking at Florence with a warm smile, he asked, “Have you finished reading the documents? Is there anything that you can’t understand? I can explain it to you.”

Florence’s thoughts were completely disturbed by Ernest just now. When she looked at the documents again, her mind was still blank.

However, she had become the target that attracted almost everyone’s attention. With Ernest sitting next to her, she couldn’t read through the documents in a hurry again.

She shook her head. “Yeah, I’ve finished reading.”

“Brilliant.”

Reynold nodded, while Ernest emanated colder air.

Others all sat down one after another. All of them tightened their bodies, keeping extremely sobered in nervousness.

They had been ready for escaping as soon as possible if something happened again.

Erica took a secret glance at those three, feeling that the atmosphere in the meeting room was so stressful. She could foresee there would be a war in the next second.

Clearing her throat, she said, “All right. Since we all are here, let’s start the meeting. Florence, you can go ahead and present.”

Raising her head, Florence met those gazes, and she felt a bit nervous.

Inhaling deeply, she tried her best to ignore Ernest sitting next to her and focus on her professionalism.

Pressing her lips, she smiled, “I’ll present my thoughts on Erica’s behalf. If I made any mistake, please don’t mind it, and you can also point out it for me.”

Everyone glinted at her, waiting for her to start.
