My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 234: Using His Mouth

Florence froze, having no guts to move at all.

She knew Ernest somehow. There was nothing in this world that he dared not to do. If she stubbornly wanted to be against him now, it was highly possible that he would do something.

Florence still wanted to get along with all the coworkers in this meeting room. She didn’t want to make the situation too embarrassing that she couldn’t continue staying here.

Gritting her teeth, she whispered, “Let go of me first.”

“Okay.”

Ernest let go of Florence’s wrist obediently, still gazing at her.

His gaze was like an invisible chain, tying her up.

Florence sat straight in the chair helplessly.

The chairs were only a few centimeters away from each other. However, Ernest’s temperament was so strong, or perhaps he had such a huge impact on Florence, she found it so uncomfortable.

Her heart couldn’t help hammering.

Ernest’s gaze was glued on Florence from the very beginning. Hence, he had found that although she sat down next to him, she was sitting on the edge of the chair, trying her best to keep the longest distance from him.

Her sitting gesture was stiffened. She sat straight, looking quite nervous and awkward.

Ernest’s eyes kept being darkened. Before yesterday, Florence and he had got along more and more harmoniously. She used to be quite restrained, but later she had become easy and relaxed.

However, what happened last night made their progress in vain.

Florence had become more distant and resistant to him than she was when they first got to know each other.

Upon realizing it, Ernest felt as if he had swallowed a cotton ball, which was stuck in his throat. He couldn’t puke it or swallow it down. However, he couldn’t move harshly. Otherwise, Florence would be frightened again.

She had a lot of resistance in their relationship originally. He couldn’t do things that to push her further.

The farce seemed to stop. Everything returned to peace. Looking at Ernest who was sitting next to Florence, Reynold felt so disgusted.

It seemed that there was a pressure in his heart, and he felt quite upset.

He tried hard to suppress the depression and sat down on the other side of Florence.

Ernest’s eyes were darkened. He stared daggers at Reynold dangerously.

His eyes were full of silent threats.

However, Reynold seemed not to see it.

Looking at Florence with a warm smile, he asked, “Have you finished reading the documents? Is there anything that you can’t understand? I can explain it to you.”

Florence’s thoughts were completely disturbed by Ernest just now. When she looked at the documents again, her mind was still blank.

However, she had become the target that attracted almost everyone’s attention. With Ernest sitting next to her, she couldn’t read through the documents in a hurry again.

She shook her head. “Yeah, I’ve finished reading.”

“Brilliant.”

Reynold nodded, while Ernest emanated colder air.

Others all sat down one after another. All of them tightened their bodies, keeping extremely sobered in nervousness.

They had been ready for escaping as soon as possible if something happened again.

Erica took a secret glance at those three, feeling that the atmosphere in the meeting room was so stressful. She could foresee there would be a war in the next second.

Clearing her throat, she said, “All right. Since we all are here, let’s start the meeting. Florence, you can go ahead and present.”

Raising her head, Florence met those gazes, and she felt a bit nervous.

Inhaling deeply, she tried her best to ignore Ernest sitting next to her and focus on her professionalism.

Pressing her lips, she smiled, “I’ll present my thoughts on Erica’s behalf. If I made any mistake, please don’t mind it, and you can also point out it for me.”

Everyone glinted at her, waiting for her to start.

However, they were also watching Ernest at the same time.

Although they didn’t know what had happened between Ernest and Florence, as well as among Reynold, as employees, they felt quite nervous because Ernest attended this meeting, who had never get involved in their work before.

Especially under such a sensitive moment, if there were one single mistake, probably Ernest would vent his anger on it.

Everyone has their own thoughts. Florence still had to bite the bullets and continued presenting her thoughts. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

However, since her mind was in a mess when she spoke, her rhythm became messy gradually. She wasn’t so familiar with this area originally, and now she couldn’t help but stammer.

At this moment, Reynold would help her properly and spoke a few lines to make a good ending to the current topic.

Florence glanced at Reynold gratefully. She whispered, “Thanks.”

“Please go ahead. I’ll help you.”

Reynold smiled at her in return.

They both whispered to each other, but Ernest was sitting next to them and he could hear everything.

His face became darkened. With a cold look, he cast a glance at the document in Florence’s hands. There was all professional content about design on it, which he had never studied, so he couldn’t understand them at all.

For the first time, he wanted to chime in but failed to find the topic.

Ernest looked more annoyed.

The atmosphere in the meeting room became more stressful as if the air had been compacted. Everyone found it harder and harder to breathe.

Since Florence was sitting next to him, her reaction was the most obvious.

She couldn’t understand -- last night Ernest had done such things to her and it should be his fault, shouldn’t it? However, he came into the meeting room so fiercely as if he was angrier.

What was he angry about?

Florence couldn’t help being distracted. Absent-minded, she made a mess when speaking again.

Reynold frowned slightly. He reminded her in a low voice, “Florence, you’ve skipped a few pages.”

“What?”

Florence was taken aback. Coming back to her senses, she found that she had skipped a few pages.

She was indeed in outer space.

She blushes in embarrassment, hurriedly turning the pages back. However, she was so panicked that her fingers were cut by a piece of paper that was turned harshly.

“Hiss--”

Florence could feel the edge of the thin paper cut her skin like a blade. She lifted her hand immediately, only to find a long cut wound on her finger. Blood flew out instantly and turned her finger red.

“You are bleeding. Don’t move!”

Since Reynold was looking at the document in her hands, immediately he noticed that Florence had a cut on her fingers.

He grabbed her hand and pulled it over. Then he pulled out the tissue in his pocket and wiped the blood for her.

“Please press the wound using the tissue. Later I’ll get the first aid kit and disinfect it for you.”

“Okay.”

Florence felt awkward after her hand was grabbed by Reynold. She was about to withdraw her hand and press the wound with the tissue by herself. Right then, her wrist was grabbed by another strong hand.

Ernest frowned deeply. He acted in a domineering manner and pulled Florence’s hand in front of him.

Looking at the bleeding wound, he put her finger into his mouth without any hesitation.

Feeling the soft touch, Florence stiffed suddenly. She lowered her head and incredibly looked at the man who bent down his head in front of her.

What was he doing?

The superior CEO of Hawkins Group was sucking her blood using his mouth...

Florence felt that her heart was like being pinched by an invisible hand, which almost squeezed her heart. However, her heart stubbornly hammered. It beat faster and faster, almost jumping out of her chest.
