My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 246: Trick Competition

Although Florence felt so disappointed at the failure to get the ticket, she still stayed up late and finished the books from Ernest.

She had almost stayed up the whole night and roughly finished reading.

As soon as she closed the book, she was so exhausted that she was so weak. Again, she had to admit that Ernest was a freak indeed.

In the early morning, Florence, with two dark circles under her eyes, took the books and walked to Ernest’s suite, returning the books to him.

“Knock... Knock... Knock...”

Florence had knocked on his door several times, but nobody answered.

Wasn’t he there?

Florence was confused. Hesitating, she pulled out her cell phone. After finding Ernest’s caller ID on her phone, she hesitated again before tabbing on it.

It was Ernest’s private number, which she seldom called. Now she was in an embarrassing relationship with him. It would also be awkward for her to call his personal number.

She still couldn’t convince herself. After hesitating for a moment, she scrolled down and found Timothy’s caller ID. Then she tabbed it.

Timothy quickly answered the phone.

“Good morning, Ms. Fraser.”

“Good morning, Timothy. Sorry for bothering you so early. May I know where Mr. Hawkins is now?”

“He’s in the mini-library right now.”

How come Ernest went to the mini-library in such an early morning?

She wondered if he truly fell in love with the design field recently as he was reading those books so actively.

Looking at the books in her hands, Florence felt lucky. Fortunately, she stayed up late last night and finished reading them, so she could return them to him on time without delaying his business.

Immediately, she walked towards the mini-library.

There were less than thirty team members in a total of both design teams. Usually, not so many members would go to find the books in the documentation room, and others even didn’t know there was a mini-library. Hence, fewer coworkers would go there.

When Florence walked into the mini-library, she saw the scene the same as what she had seen the previous day.

Ernest was sitting next to the small desk with a book in his hands. He bent down his head to read, looking noble and elegant. The whole scene looked peaceful and beautiful.
