My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 39: Why Did You Lie?

Florence felt the strange atmosphere between the two men. She was a little puzzled and uneasy, what was wrong with them?

The commotion here also caught Madison’s attention. She hurriedly walked over on her high heels.

When she saw Cooper and Ernest were confronting each other, she was shocked. She rushed over and pulled Cooper away.

“Why are you standing like this in front of Mr. Hawkins? Get out of the way.”

Madison scolded Cooper and then turned her head to look at Ernest. She shrewdly curled into a pleasant smile, “Mr. Hawkins, I hope you don’t mind. He’s a newly hired assistant. He’s a little careless in handling tasks and he doesn’t know the rules.”

Cooper was pulled away. His handsome face did not show any unhappy expression and he naturally stood beside Florence again.

It was neither too far nor too close, which was the distance in between friends. But it also showed some man’s protection towards a woman.

Ernest’s eyes darkened and an unknown emotion was sparkling in his eyes.

Then, he pursed his thin lips. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out.

His tall body portrayed a haze of alienated coldness.

Stunned, Madison looked at Ernest’s back and was feeling very puzzled. Mr. Hawkins came for a while and left. What was the reason he suddenly came to the Design Department?

Although Madison was very confused, she completely did not dare to ask.

After walking out of the Design Department, Ernest’s face slightly darkened and he ordered coldly, “I want Cooper’s details.”

Merely an assistant?

Although the confrontation only lasted for a moment, Ernest could clearly tell that Cooper was certainly not that simple.

What was his intention for coming here to work as an assistant?

Timothy spoke respectfully, “Yes, sir.”

Ernest came for a while and left. After that, however, the others in the Design Department did not dare to complain a word about the matter of place this time anymore.

Florence could finally focus her mind to do preparations. She was going to participate in the Ovi Fashion Design Contest after a few days.

Cooper, as the only assistant of Florence, naturally had to go with her this time.

Their works almost intersected so they got off from work together.

After they reached the company lobby, Florence said while walking, “I’m going to take the subway, what about you?”
