My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 41

Before Florence could take a couple of steps, she saw the man open a door and walked in. The large back view of the man suddenly disappeared from her sight.

Florence walked over and saw the closed door yet didn’t see clearly the man’s face.

“Florence, what happened?” Cooper picked up the luggage and rushed over while asking curiously.

Florence hesitated, shook her head, and said, “Nothing.” Perhaps she was mistaken.

This was the hotel that participants of the Ovi Fashion Design Contest stayed. It was totally closed to the public. Ernest couldn’t possibly appear here. As she was preparing to leave, she looked up and saw that the door was her room number.

The hotel staff walked over and officially gave the key card to Florence.

“Ms. Fraser there is a buzzer for service in the room. You may call us if you need anything.”

“Okay, thanks.” She dismissed the staff and Cooper helped Florence with the luggage.

He looked around the room and joked, “Florence, your room is more luxurious than mine.”

His room is on the ninth floor and was a luxurious room but Florence was a presidential suite. Florence didn’t think much of it, opened her luggage and started to unpack her clothes, and casually said, “Perhaps I’m lucky to be assigned this room.”

“Yeah,” Cooper answered but a thought flashed across his mind.

When they came, it was the end of the semi-finals. After those who were eliminated left, the remaining designers held a night of celebrations. The venue was at a beach in front of the hotel.

The area was arranged elaborately and the environment was very conducive. There were delicious food and red wine on every table. Florence was extremely bored as she sat at the table and was surprised to see Grayson.

He wore a well-fitted business suit and his hair was nicely styled. He looked very dashing and handsome. Isabel stood beside him and clutched his arm like a bird perching on a branch. They looked like a perfect couple.

The organizer of the event rushed forward to receive them enthusiastically, “Mr. Russell, you’re here as well? What an honor, please take a seat!”

“I’m here to see Isabel,” Grayson said tenderly and it was clear that he cared very much about her.

Those who attended this celebration were participants in the competition. Even boyfriends, husbands were unable to attend. Thus, Grayson and Isabel were the only couple there.

Many looked at them with envy and commented.

“It was said that Mr. Russell is one of the investors in this competition. It looked like his investment was because of Isabel.”

“Mr. Russell really knows how to spoil a girl. Isabel is so fortunate.”

“Truly, I’m envious to death!”

Every one commented neutrally but were full of envy. This greatly satisfied Isabel’s vanity. She lifted her chin and looked at Florence with arrogance and provocation. The last time Florence felt a pinch when saw Grayson and Isabel kissing during their engagement banquet but now, she was totally indifferent. Florence was expressionless as she ignored Isabel’s provocation. She simply took a sip of the drink.

Cooper sat next to Florence and saw Isabel’s look. His eyes were keen and noticed something. His deep gaze sized up Grayson. Grayson’s disappointed gaze fell upon Florence when he noticed that she was unfazed. He felt uncomfortable from her lack of reaction.
