Florence felt the strange atmosphere between the two men. She was a little puzzled and uneasy, what was wrong with them?
The commotion here also caught Madison’s attention. She hurriedly walked over on her high heels.
When she saw Cooper and Ernest were confronting each other, she was shocked. She rushed over and pulled Cooper away.
“Why are you standing like this in front of Mr. Hawkins? Get out of the way.”
Madison scolded Cooper and then turned her head to look at Ernest. She shrewdly curled into a pleasant smile, “Mr. Hawkins, I hope you don’t mind. He’s a newly hired assistant. He’s a little careless in handling tasks and he doesn’t know the rules.”
Cooper was pulled away. His handsome face did not show any unhappy expression and he naturally stood beside Florence again.
It was neither too far nor too close, which was the distance in between friends. But it also showed some man’s protection towards a woman.
Ernest’s eyes darkened and an unknown emotion was sparkling in his eyes.
Then, he pursed his thin lips. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out.
His tall body portrayed a haze of alienated coldness.
Stunned, Madison looked at Ernest’s back and was feeling very puzzled. Mr. Hawkins came for a while and left. What was the reason he suddenly came to the Design Department?
Although Madison was very confused, she completely did not dare to ask.
After walking out of the Design Department, Ernest’s face slightly darkened and he ordered coldly, “I want Cooper’s details.”
Merely an assistant?
Although the confrontation only lasted for a moment, Ernest could clearly tell that Cooper was certainly not that simple.
What was his intention for coming here to work as an assistant?
Timothy spoke respectfully, “Yes, sir.”
Ernest came for a while and left. After that, however, the others in the Design Department did not dare to complain a word about the matter of place this time anymore.
Florence could finally focus her mind to do preparations. She was going to participate in the Ovi Fashion Design Contest after a few days.
Cooper, as the only assistant of Florence, naturally had to go with her this time.
Their works almost intersected so they got off from work together.
After they reached the company lobby, Florence said while walking, “I’m going to take the subway, what about you?”
If they did not go the same way, they would have to separate now.
Cooper hesitated for a second, then smiled and said, “I’ll take the subway too, let’s walk there together.”
“Okay.”
Florence continued to head to the subway but when she reached the roadside, she unexpectedly saw a familiar Lamborghini luxurious car.
Ernest was perhaps the only one who owned this kind of limited car model and arrogant license plate number.
The rear window was slowly opened. Ernest’s exceptionally handsome face was revealed.
He spoke in a low voice that was unquestionable, “Get in the car.”
Florence was stunned. She looked Ernest in her eyes and knew that he was certainly speaking to her.
However, this was the entrance of the company. Many people were watching.
If she blatantly got into his car…
As their relationship was special, Florence had a guilty conscience. She walked to the car but she did not get in.
She whispered, “Mr. Hawkins, is there any matter?”
“Get in the car.”
Ernest repeated in a cold tone.
Florence was on the fence. Although this was the entrance of the company, Ernest’s attitude was so determined to let her go in so something should have happened and that was why he must bring her away now.
And they were many people here. In addition, their relationships were complicated so it was not suitable for him to say directly.
Having thought of this, Florence spoke to Cooper.
“Cooper, I just remembered that I have something to do with Mr. Hawkins. So, I’ll get in his car now and I can’t be on the same way as you anymore.”
Cooper looked at them thoughtfully but his lips were still curled into a pleasant smile.
He waved his hand in a dashing manner, “Alright, see you tomorrow.”
Cooper turned and walked away but Ernest’s face did not look good.
Cooper?
