My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

“Mr... Mr. Hawkins!”

Phoebe’s father stood up from his chair immediately, gaping at the man walking into their house in disbelief.

He wondered if he had an illusion. Ernest Hawkins, the most powerful man of City N and CEO of the Hawkins family, had come to his house.

“What have brought you down here, Mr. Hawkins? Please have a seat!”

In a panic, Phoebe’s father wiped his hands on his clothes. Then he rushed to Ernest hurriedly.

Ernest paused. He looked through Phoebe’s father and stared at Phoebe.

He said in a deep voice, “I’m here for you.”

Phoebe’s father paused his action to reach out to shake hands with him. He felt quite embarrassed. It seemed that Mr. Hawkins completely had ignored him.

“Phoebe, why are you standing there? Hurry up and come over.”

“Oh. Okay.”

Phoebe came back to her senses. She walked to Ernest and said, “Mr. Hawkins, please have a seat. What would you like to drink?”

“Nothing. I just want to ask you a few questions. Please answer me honestly,” Ernest went straight to the point.

Phoebe had to stand in front of him obediently as if she was an elementary student answering the questions from her headteacher.

Seeing what was going on, Phoebe’s parents left the room, leaving them privacy.

They didn’t know what questions Mr. Hawkins would ask, but they couldn’t stay there and listen to those questions.

Seeing there was no one else around, Ernest asked, “What have Florence and you done in the villa of Senna International Villa Community?”

Phoebe was startled for a moment. It wasn’t until now did she realize that he was asking about Florence’s matters. No wonder the superior Mr. Hawkins would come to her in person.

In a surprise, she asked, “Haven’t those things been cleaned up yet?”

It had been a long time.

A moment later, she thought of something. Looking at Ernest in surprise, she asked, “Mr. Hawkins, have you just seen the decoration in the villa?”
