My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 91

As Florence could not see the contents of the document from her current position, she had to walk to Ernest's side.

Nevertheless, Ernest put the folder at a very low position, and it took her great efforts to view the documents even if she stooped.

Ernest said like he was giving her a reward, "Sit down."

"Okay."

Florence did not think too much about it. She sat down beside Ernest outright and finally saw the contents that Ernest was talking before.

She hurriedly started to explain it to him in a professional manner.

Ernest fixed his eyes on the woman that was quite close to him. Smelling the faint scent from her body, thin lips were inexplicably curled up into a small smiling arc.

This woman had been accustomed to being in close contact with him.

He casually pointed at one place on the document, "What does this mean?"

Gemma watched the scene in disbelief, her face gradually turning pale.

She was quite clear about Ernest's educational background and his insights, and apparently he must know the answers for the questions that he asked Florence just now.

But he deliberately pretended to be confused and asked those questions. It was safe to say that he…

The two of them were quite close and Florence was sitting by Ernest’s side while Ernest was listening to her explanation intently. Their relationship seemed to be indescribably harmonious.

Gemma tightly clenched her fists with rampant jealousy in her heart. She had never thought that Ernest would like Florence to such an extent.

In order to get closer to Florence, he even applied such childish tricks.

After explaining a bunch of questions to Ernest, Florence finally finished the speech when she felt thirsty.

At the moment she finished speaking, Ernest handed her a cup of warm milk.

"Thanks." Having been speaking for a long while, Florence felt very thirsty. She took the milk from Ernest and finished it with a gulp.

Ernest fixed his eyes on her with pampering in his eyes. Nevertheless, he himself didn't noticed it

"When I came here just now, I was wondering why Ernest would prepare milk in his office. It turns out that it was prepared for you, Flory." Gemma said surprisingly and there was a touch of teasing tone in her voice.

It sounded like a joke between friends.

But Florence had a totally different feeling when hearing the words. Gemma was actually Ernest’s girlfriend, so was she jealous?

Florence was a bit flustered, and she hurriedly put down the milk.

"Miss Marlon, don't misunderstand it. Mr. Hawkins has always prepared all kinds of beverages in his office. And he would offer it to everyone who comes to report work to him."

"Is that so?" Gemma asked with a fake smile. Florence had no idea about whether she was convinced or not.

Florence felt unease all over. In fact, even she herself would not believe such a statement.

After all, she really hadn't seen any other staff being offered with a cup of water when they came to Ernest’s office.

"Ahem, I'll go first then." Florence picked up the documents from the desk and intended to leave.

Ernest, however, spoke steadily, "Come to a place with me."

Florence was dumbfounded

Ernest moved his thin lips again to utter two words that Florence could not refuse, "Business trip."

Gemma's face became even paler. She gazed at Ernest in disbelief, feeling a gush of chillness from top to toe.

"Ernest, are you going to take Flory with you?"

"Yep." Ernest answered in a low voice without any hesitation.

Gemma's body trembled uncontrollably. She tried hard to restrain herself and suppress her emotions.

"It's about my personal business after all. Isn’t it inappropriate to bother Flory?"

Florence widened her eyes in shock, wondering what was going on at the moment. Ernest asked her to go on a business trip with him and it was related to Gemma? Would Gemma come with them?
