My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Florence blushed, “Not that much.”

Everyone present there was smart and sophisticated, they silently paid attention to the atmosphere between Ernest and Florence.

Even if they showed nothing on the outside, but their feelings really kept people making wild guesses.

After some estimations, a high leveled senior took the initiative to and raised her wine glass towards Florence.

“Ms. Fraser, congrats for getting the first place tonight, let me offer you a toast.”

Another toast!

Florence felt scared as she looked at her wine glass, but she just couldn't refuse.

Then Florence smiled as she raised her wine glass to have the toast.

At that time, a white and slender hand blocked her wine glass.

Ernest glanced at everyone at that place before saying, “Since Florence is the contestant, then Florence should offer the toast. Florence, go and offer the toast to everyone.”

She needed to start first, and to everyone there, it would mean that she will just need to drink one glass of wine for the next round.

Florence understood what Ernest meant, and it made her feel warm at heart.

“Dear Seniors, thank you for all the support, let me offer this toast for everyone.”

Florence stood up and raised her wine glass.

Even if they were all high leveled seniors, but they all stood up with respect and toasted to Florence's glass one by one.

The doubts that everyone had before were confirmed, Ernest and Florence must have some kind of relationship, and otherwise the superior Mr. Hawkins would not say anything to help her out.

Soon after, everyone had their own thoughts when they talk to Florence... Seeing that it was almost done, Florence stood up and said goodbye, “Dear Seniors, please eat and drink leisurely, I'll be going back to the room first.”

Florence smiled politely as she left.

Right when she walked out the door, Ernest also stood up without even looking at people on the table; he just walked out with his long legs.

Once Ernest left, the scene immediately became lively again.

“Who knows what's the relationship between Mr. Hawkins and Florence?”

“Else than Mr. Hawkins' fiancée which was set by his family, we have never heard of another woman beside Mr. Hawkins.”

“In conclusion, Florence and Mr. Hawkins must have a special relationship, from now own, even if we don't help her, we absolutely can’t trouble her.”
