My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 25: If It Was Not On Purpose, It Must be Intentional

The next morning…

When Florence opened her eyes, she was shocked.

She looked unbelievably at the handsome face right in front of her as the two of them were so close. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Didn’t she sleep on the edge of the bed last night? Why was she hugging Ernest?

And she’s hugging him like an octopus…

She blushed in embarrassment and carefully drew her hand back while Ernest was still asleep.

But when she was just about to pull her hand out, the alarm clock rang.

It was her alarm for work.

Florence froze suddenly and stiffly looked towards Ernest. Her eyes instantly met the pair of eyes that had just opened.

He looked at her. His eyes were in a daze as he was just awake, which appeared particularly attractive.

Florence’s heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.

Then she hastily drew her hand back and hurriedly got out of bed.

Looking at her flustered behavior, Ernest pursed his thin lips, showing a faint smile.

“Hugged me all night, and you just leave?”

Florence’s cheeks blushed slightly, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Then was it intentional?”

Ernest propped his head on one hand, looking at her elegantly and casually.

Florence felt extremely embarrassed. She usually didn’t move a lot when she slept, but somehow, she hugged Ernest last night.

She turned her head away in awkwardness, “I… I’m going to wash up.”

Florence ran into the bathroom in a panic. She then realized a critical problem.

She had no clothes to get changed.

Yesterday’s clothes smelled of alcohol and hadn’t been washed. She definitely couldn’t wear them to work today.

So what could she do now?

When Florence was at a loss, the sound of wheels rolling sounded outside the bathroom door, as if someone was pushing something.

She curiously pulled the door to open a crack. She then saw two young women pushing a rack of clothes into the room.

They respectfully said to Ernest, “Mr. Hawkins, these are the latest clothes of the season. Do you want us to hang them in the dressing room for you?”

Ernest glanced at the bathroom door, knowing that Florence was coming out.

He said, “No need, you may leave.”

“Yes.”

The two women walked out in an orderly manner and closed the room’s door.

As soon as they left, Florence quickly came out of the bathroom. She looked at this rack of clothes, and then looked towards Ernest with anticipation.

“Mr. Hawkins, may I borrow one to wear? I’ll return it to you tomorrow.”

She was a fashion designer and was insightful about the clothes on the market. Just by a glance, she could see that these clothes were all limited-edition models from the largest brands of the moment, and each one was worth a lot of money.

Ernest’s tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about something completely normal.

“These are all for you.”

Florence was stunned. Her heart pounded uncontrollably.

They went out of the villa together. Inevitably, Florence took Ernest’s car to the office again.

When they almost reached the office, she still insisted on getting off the car earlier.

“Thanks.”

Standing by the car window, Florence thanked him politely.

Looking at her courteous attitude, Ernest’s eyes showed a slight disappointment. This woman still had such an attitude towards him.

However, there was no rush.

He spoke in a soft voice, “I’ll see you at work.”

Florence was surprised. The last time when she got out of the car, Ernest left straight away without even looked at her.

Now, this was a good trend.

In a happy mood, Florence walked to the office.

At this moment, not far behind her, Elise was holding her mobile phone with a smug look on her face. She had taken several pictures of Florence getting out of the Lamborghini, smiling and talking to the person in it.

“Florence, sleeping with your boss. Let me see how you still have the nerve to continue staying in the company.”

Elise looked at Florence, who was gradually walking away, and laughed maliciously.

When Florence arrived at the design department, she saw a group of women huddled together with a lively atmosphere.

Laughter could be heard from time to time.

Florence asked a colleague, “Why are you all huddling together? Is there anything wrong?”

“You don’t know yet? A young man just joined our company, and he’s so handsome, more handsome than those celebrities on the posters, and he’s very humorous.”

The colleague talked like a fan-girl. She even stood on tiptoes, wanting to get a better look of him in the crowd.

Florence was curious. How handsome was this new colleague that he was able to cause such a fuss?

She also wanted to stand on tiptoes to see him. At this moment, she heard a man’s sound from the crowd.

“Ladies, we’ll continue to talk later when we have time. I’m going to report for duty now.”

The women surrounding him were unwilling but still made way for him.

The man was originally sitting on a chair. Only then did he stand up. His height of six feet suddenly towered over the crowd.

He was extremely good looking and had a good set of facial features. His lips were affectionate but not flirtatious. The smile at the corners of his mouth was even more dazzling. People would have a good impression of him at first glance.

He was dressed in casual attire, casual but still particular. He had an excellent temperament.

The man walked through the crowd and straight towards Florence.

His face showed a nice-looking smile, “Hello, I’m Cooper Scott.”

When Florence looked at him, she found him a bit familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but couldn’t remember for now.

She still politely replied, “Hello, what can I do for you?”

Cooper extended his hand towards Florence, “I’m your new assistant. Please take care of me from now on.”

Florence was slightly shocked. She didn’t expect that her new assistant would be him, such an eye- catching man.

And at the moment, she received envious glances from many of her colleagues around her.

Florence felt some pressure.

After greeting Cooper, Florence led him to her desk and arranged a place for him.

Cooper put his backpack on the seat, and without sitting down, he took out a box of imported chocolates from his backpack.

He handed it to Florence, “This is a first-meeting gift.”

Florence looked at the box of chocolates and was a bit stunned. She was also just promoted from a newcomer, and she didn’t know there was such a thing as a first-meeting gift.

Cooper thought that Florence felt embarrassed to accept it. He then smiled and slipped the chocolate into her hand.

“There’s one for everyone here, so don’t worry and accept it. It’s delicious.”

“Thank you.”

Hearing this, Florence took it at ease.

After that, she sat down in her seat and began to sort out some documents.

At the same time, she said to Cooper, “You should familiarize yourself with the environment first. I’ll give you the documents here when they’re ready. By the way, I didn’t know you were coming before this. Give me a copy of your resume.”

“Okay, it was ready long ago.”

Cooper sat next to Florence. He raised his hand and handed his resume to Florence.

Seeing the contents of Cooper’s resume, Florence vaguely remembered something.

She looked at him with slight agitation and apprehension.

“You’re Cooper Scott?”
