My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

“Do we love each other? She never truly loved me.” Cooper pouted, giving out a sense of desolation and sarcasm. “Our encounter here back then was planned by her. She had been approaching me on purpose from the start till the end. Until we engaged three months ago, it was then I know the reason about her being together with me is just for money.” Florence was extremely surprised. “Could there be any misunderstanding in this? She doesn’t look like that kind of person.”

“I was deceived back then too. I was completely deceived like a fool.” Cooper was filled with an air of lethargy and he continued, “Sorry for what happened today, that you’ve encountered such an awkward situation. I’ll not keep you company any further, sorry. Also, you don’t have to worry much about that, do get back and have a good rest.”

Florence looked at him with worry and she did not know what to say to console him. Outsiders are incapable to intervene in such a matter anyway.

As Florence reached the workplace the next day, she went to the design department first to categorize and arrange her work documents throughout the year and her work during student times. Although experience was the one she was lack of, she was still competent. There were three places to represent the company to participate in the Ovi Fashion Design Contest, and she had to make Ernest agree to let her have one.

She held the documents in her arms and was figuring how to start upon meeting Ernest along the way. Yet the moment she arrived at the office, she was surprised to see that there were already quite many people gathering in the president’s office. Everybody was standing straight like vertically-placed javelins and they all seemed nervous and uneasy, whereas the man behind the office desk did not have any discernable change in expression on his handsome face, instead he was filled with a vague sense of ferocity. He tossed a folder casually and spoke with a frigid voice, “Get your wage in the financial department.”

A middle-aged man’s face went cadaverous at once and his voice trembled when he spoke, “Mr. Hawkins, please give me one more chance, I’ll definitely make the best of the planning proposal.”

from the ground. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to let out a single breath. The office was filled with a nerve-wrecking and horrifying atmosphere the whole morning. No one who came here got a single praise, and their proposals were all rejected. Some had even gotten fired at the scene. Everyone was frightened
