My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 266

Ernest didn’t mind what reaction Tina would have at all. He held up Florence’s hand and stood up.

His handsome face looked cold when he strode towards outside.

“Let’s go.”

Florence was pulled up from the sofa. She was bewildered.

What was going on? They came here to have a meal, but Ernest wanted to leave before they could have a taste of the dishes.

Moreover, Florence knew Ernest well. If he hadn’t decided to sign the contract, he would not come to this appointment today. But now that he was here, why did he suddenly change his mind and decide not to sign the contract?

Like Florence, Tina was also perplexed.

Not having the mood to care about other matters, Tina hurriedly stood up and ran towards Ernest in high heels and then blocked his way.

“Mr. Hawkins, I don’t understand why you suddenly decided not to sign the contract. Can you please give me an explanation?”

Ernest furrowed his brows and a trace of impatience flashed across his eyes.

He gazed at Tina coldly and said as if a reasonable and natural thing, “You displeased Florence.”

Tina was dumbfounded as if she had gotten a head-on blow and she felt dizzy. She was so stunned that she was lost for words.

It was simply because she displeased Florence?

Such a simple reason?

The two companies, which all had excessively large scales, began the negotiation of this collaboration several months ago and this involved the interests of many parties and aspects. Otherwise, Ernest would not come to the meal to sign the contract in person.

However, simply because of Florence, Ernest gave up such a big collaboration without a second thought?

So a contract worthy of several billions was not comparable to Florence? Just because she was a bit unhappy, Ernest actually gave up the contract!

Tina staggered and took two steps backwards and then knocked herself onto the edge of the table. Then there came a loud sound.

Tina was in a trance as her mind had totally gone blank. She felt like a gush of blood was stuck in her chest and she felt so painful and uncomfortable.

She couldn’t imagine what would happen to her career if the collaboration was cancelled because of her. It was so cruel for her that she fell from heaven down to the hell.

She regretted it.

She shouldn’t have coveted Ernest and shouldn’t have vented her anger on Florence even if she was envious of her.

Only now did she realize that she could be forgiven if she offended Ernest, but the consequence of offending his beloved woman was horrible.

Ernest didn’t have any interest in Tina and directly left the restaurant together with Florence.

He looked quite composed, as if the loss caused by the cancellation of a contract worthy of several billions was nothing to him.

“What would you like? Let’s go to the other restaurant.”

Florence finally came to her own sense when she heard his words.

She gazed at Ernest with a trace of light flashing across her eyes. She pondered for a while and finally asked as she was really curious, “Mr. Hawkins, it’s your excuse, right? What’s the real reason behind it? Why did you cancel the contract?”

Florence didn’t believe that it was because of her.

Ernest walked forward steadily hand in hand with Florence.

He turned his head to take a glance at her and curled his lips into a light smile, “Is it necessary for me to find such a crappy excuse?”

It was so ridiculous if it was just an excuse, just like when you wanted to break up with your girlfriend, then you told her ‘Let’s break up. I’m disillusioned with the mortal world and want to be a monk for the rest of my life’.

Not to mention it was business collaboration. It could not be so hasty.

Even if he wanted to find an excuse to cancel the collaboration, he should find a reasonable one so that both parties would not be embarrassed, which would leave room for their future collaboration.

So, Ernest really cancelled the collaboration because she was a bit displeased?

Florence widened her eyes in astonishment, not knowing how to react.

It was such a significant collaboration, but Ernest gave it up easily because of her.
