My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 232: Oh No, She Came Across Him!

Erica received a phone call from Ernest before. She was a wise person and came to wait for Florence at the door of the meeting room early in the morning.

She felt relieved when she saw Florence. But unexpectedly, she found Florence was coming together with Reynold.

They walked towards the meeting room side by side while talking with each other smilingly. They looked like a perfect match of a handsome man and a beautiful woman, which was quite harmonious.

But Erica suddenly had a premonition of disaster.

Ernest called her in the morning and she learned that there were some problems between Ernest and Florence. But now, the ambience between Florence and Reynold was so harmonious and it looked like they were a couple.

But Florence was Mr. Hawkins’ fiancée!

If Florence fell in love with the other man, she couldn’t imagine what would happen…

Erica was a bit startled. Watching Florence walking towards her, she suddenly got an idea. Erica then hurriedly walked over and held up Florence’s hand.

“Florence, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long while. Please come in with me.”

“Erica, what’s wrong?”

Florence was confused and followed Erica.

Reynold was left behind.

Seeing that Florence was getting farther and farther away from him, he hurriedly walked over.

There was a rectangle table in the meeting room and usually the attendees could seat themselves at will.

Florence was bewildered, “Erica, is there anything urgent?”

Erica was a bit stunned when she heard the question. It was just her excuse to separate Florence and Reynold; otherwise, if they walked into the meeting room together, they would sit beside each other.

Mr. Hawkins’ relationship with Florence was so subtle now and it would be a disaster if he saw Florence being together with Reynold.

Erica quickly put on her thinking cap and casually found an excuse, “I found a problem this morning and I want to discuss with you.”

When speaking, Erica took out a folder and turned to a page and then found a topic to start a conversation with Florence.

Florence had always been a conscientious person and she immediately became serious although this seemed not to be a big problem for Erica.

Moreover, Erica never had a discussion with her in usual times, why did she suddenly come to her today?

When Florence was still guessing randomly, a tall man suddenly sat down beside her.

Florence turned her head and found that it was Reynold.

A charming smile appeared on Reynold’s half-blooded handsome face as he said casually, “Go ahead with your stuff.”

Florence smiled at him and then continued to discuss the problem with Erica.

But Erica felt quite depressed. She had tried her best to separate the two of them. Moreover, Reynold always sat with his men when there was a meeting, why did he sit beside Florence today?

The situation would be deteriorated if Mr. Hawkins saw this.

Erica felt her temples aching.

“Erica, Erica.”

Florence called Erica’s name twice when seeing that she was in a trance.

Erica then came to her own senses. Embarrassed, she rubbed her temples, “I didn’t have a good sleep last night. So I’m a bit absent-minded today.”

“You shall have a rest. It will be good to you even if it’s only a two-or-three-minute nap.”

Florence put down the file folder.

Erica pondered for a while and then replied, “How about this? Florence, please read this document carefully. You will go to the stage to give a presentation in place of me.”

“Me?”

Florence was quite surprised. Although she was a newly-emerged designer, Erica was a real senior designer and was qualified to make a presentation here.

“But I’m really overtired. Flory, you also read this document just now and you’re familiar with it. I will only rest assured if it is you to deliver the presentation.” Erica said with an earnest look.

Seeing that Erica was pleading for her help, Florence felt it hard to refuse her even though she was not confident in herself.

“Okay.” Florence nodded her head constrainedly.

When Florence agreed to her request, Erica immediately became highly-spirited again. She held up Florence’s hand and stood on her feet, and then led Florence to the host seat which was at end of the rectangle table.

She pressed Florence onto the seat and enjoined her righteously, “Sit here. It would be convenient for you to deliver the speech.”

“Isn’t it inappropriate?”

Erica never sat on the host seat when she was making a presentation in usual times. Would other colleagues think that she was flaunting her powerful connections if she sat here today?

Florence wanted to stand up when speaking, but was stopped by Erica.

Erica gave her a justification, “You will deliver the speech in place of me and I won’t allow other colleagues to belittle you. So you should sit here. In this way, they will feel respectful towards you.”

“But…”

Florence felt that something was wrong, but she didn’t know how to retort Erica.

Reynold took a glance at the empty seat beside him and looked up to Florence who was far away from him. He then slightly furrowed his brows and took a glance at Erica as if thinking of something.

She deliberately distanced Florence away from him?

She’s indeed Ernest’s capable and loyal subordinate.

Could she think that she was able to separate Florence and him by this means? How naïve!

Reynold curled up his lips into an enchanting and aggressive smile.

Reynold decisively stood up and walked to Florence. He then looked down at the page that Florence was reading and asked in a gentle voice, “What a coincidence. I made a systematic analysis of this topic several days ago. You can take my analysis as a reference and it will be easier for you to understand it.”

Reynold then sat down beside Florence. He turned on his tablet PC and then put it at the place between him and Florence.

“Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Myron.”

Florence was so anxious just now because she couldn’t fully get hang of the key points of this topic in such a short period of time, and Reynold’s analysis was a timely support for her.

She was cheered up and began to study the document with Reynold’s analysis as a preference. Then she found that she understood it quickly.

Apparently, Reynold was very familiar with this topic. He answered Florence’s questions from time to time, which pleased her a lot.

Erica, who watched the scene aside, pulled a long face.

She had racked her brain to find a way to separate Reynold and Florence. But Reynold was like a sticky candy and became more intimate with Florence.

Now they even read the document together head to head, which looked excessively intimate.

If Mr. Hawkins saw this…

“Click.”

The clicking sound of leather shoes suddenly sounded.

Following the sound, they saw a 1.9 meter high man stopping at the door of the meeting room. He was in a black wind coat, which made him look quite slender and elegant. There was a layer of frost on his coat.

The chill spread from him and it seemed the temperature of the meeting room plunged to below zero in an instant. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

When seeing clearly who the man was, Erica was stiffened, a drop of cold sweat streaming down her forehead.

She had tried her best to separate Reynold and Florence, but she hadn’t expected that Ernest would come so soon and saw…

At the moment, Erica’s mind was occupied by four words – they will be doomed.
