Chapter 74: I won’t Marry Him


    “I won’t marry him.”


    Florence quickly exined, her voice was firm and resolute.


    Even though she may have some special feelings about Ernest, she never thought of making the fake


    engagement into a real one. And now Ernest still had someone he liked, she would not presume to


    interfere in their rtionship.


    “Miss Marlon, I don’t know what to say about your affairs and I wouldn’t interfere with it. The agreement


    between Ernest and me is onlyst for a month. When the timees, I will dismiss the marriage with


    him.”


    After a pause, Florence added, “Or, if he wants to terminate the agreement earlier, I will also


    cooperate.”


    Gemma seemed relieved, “Flory, Ernest have been feeling sorry to me because of this matter, so he’ll


    constantly avoid discussing this matter with me. Today, I’ve identally told you so much, I hope you


    won’t tell Ernest about this.”


    “Okay.” Florence nodded.


    “Flory, you’re really a nice person. From now on, you’re my friend!”


    Florence bit her lips and said nothing. Her rtionship with Ernest was just an agreement, but she still


    felt that it wouldn’t be easy to make friends with Gemma.


    When the banquet was over, Gemma sent Florence and others out of the hall.


    It was alreadyte at night, and the weather was getting cold again, the wind was blowing chilly.


    Ernest took off his suit and naturally wanted to put it on Florence’s shoulders.


    Florence noticed his actions. She felt her heart tighten a little, and Gemma was still here. This action of


    his seemed way too ambiguous.


    As she thought of this, she immediately dodged a little.


    Ernest’s hand holding the suit froze in mid-air.


    “I’m not cold.”


    Florence looked at Gemma awkwardly and whispered to Ernest, “Don’t let her misunderstand.”


    “Misunderstand what?”


    Ernest didn’t understand what she meant. His eyes deepen as he realized Florence had been avoiding


    him and keeping a distance from him deliberately throughout the banquet tonight.


    “Miss Marlon, thanks for your hospitality, see you next time.”


    Florence smile at Gemma and waved her hand. She didn’t even took a nce at Ernest and got into


    the car.


    Ernest looked unpleasant. He pursed his thin lips with a cold expression and got into the car too.


    He didn’t even say goodbye to Gemma.


    Gemma looked at his cold back as he left. A sinister look shed across her eyes. He was treating her


    as if she was invisible whenever Florence was by his side.


    Ernest got into the car, his tall body sat just beside Florence.


    Florence immediately sat further away from him.


    She looked out of the window, intentionally wanted to alienate him.


    A feeling of anger rose in the heart of Ernest, but he had nowhere to vent his frustration. He was


    depressed that he couldn’t what was wrong with thisdy.


    He spoke in a deep voice to Timothy, who was in the driver’s seat, “Drive.”


    Timothy hesitated for a while. He took a nce at Harold and Anthony, who was still chatting at the


    door. Then, he started the car and drove away.


    “Eh, why did Ernest leave?” We’re still here.”


    Harold was the first one to react. He looked at the car that was driving away in dismay.


    Since Ernest had his fiancée, he never treated them nicely. He would just leave them alone and left.


    Anthony looked at Harold’s dismay face, but he remained calm and stood there without saying


    anything.


    Gemma hid her feelings with a smile and said, “You have your own cars, why must you always sit in


    the same car with Ernest? Come, I’ll let the driver to you guys back.”


    “Luckily Gemma still has a conscience.” Harold provoked. He secretly despised Ernest, the womanizer


    a thousand times in his heart.


    Anthony looked at Gemma with concern, “How’s your body’s condition now?”


    When it came to this topic, the smile on Gemma’s face stiffened.


    She then said, “Not bad, I almost recover after the two years of foreign treatment.”


    Two years ago, Gemma had a serious car ident in order to save Ernest.


    She nearly died from that ident, but atst she still survived. However, she lost a uterus because of


    it and she could never be a mother for the rest of her life. These two years, she had been in a


    specialize institution abroad to recuperate her body. Until recently only then her body was considered


    recovering well from the injury.


    And because of this, Ernest had been feeling sorry towards her. Hence, he treated her like his younger


    sister. He cared for her and took care of her.


    But, what Gemma wants was never a brother-sister rtionship…


    However, she knew that once she asked Ernest for love and affection, she would lost himpletely.


    Originally, he only had her by his side. Even though they were only friends, or brothers and sisters, she


    wouldn’tint about it. But now, she never expected that Florence would appear in between them.


    What she didn’t tell Florence was that she not only knew that Ernest was faking his engagement, but


    she also knew that Ernest was really going to marry Florence.


    She wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen. Otherwise, her jealously would drive her crazy.


    Hence, she came back in advanced and carefully nned all of this. She arranged the women to talk


    beside Florence, decorated her room like Ernest’s room, put the photos of their pictures taken from


    childhood to adulthood on the dresser…


    She knew Ernest was a proud and arrogant man. As long as Florence constantly keeping a distance


    with him and rejecting him, he would lose his patience and let her go.


    …


    The next morning, Florence went to work as usual. But when she just reached the door, she


    unexpectedly saw a familiar and particrly eye-catching Lamborghini.


    The window from the back seat was winded down, and Ernest’s handsome face was exposed, looking


    exceptionally handsome andfortable.


    He said to her, “Get in.”

    Florence stood still, puzzled. She asked, “Mr. Hawkins, where are you taking me?”


    Today was her first day at work at the Hawkins Group, she didn’t want to be absent for no reason.


    Ernest said naturally, “To the office.”


    It was also her destination.


    But…


    Florence looked at Ernest and hesitated for a while, she asked embarrassingly, “Mr. Hawkins, did you


    intentionallye to bring me to work?”


    She was a bit shy to ask this question. After all, Ernest was a respected and busy CEO of the


    company. He should not have the time to pick her up specially.


    However, something must be rified.


    Ernest pursed his lips, “Yes.”


    It was deep and attractive voice, which sounded firm and clear.


    The meaning of his words shocked Florence.


    Did he reallye to pick up her? He wanted to fetch her to and fro from the office?


    Florence looked very uneasy, “You don’t need toe intentionally to pick me up. It’s not appropriate if


    someone noticed us.”


    “You’re my fiancée.” Ernest reminded her.


    “But… There is only a week left before we dismiss the engagement. We better don’t let anyone know


    about our rtionship at this moment, or else it will be troublesome for us to dismiss the engagement


    later.”


    Especially for Florence, she would meet a lot of trouble after they dismiss the engagement. Many


    people would surelye and ask her why they dismiss the engagement.


    She was really afraid that she couldn’t work peacefully.


    Moreover, Ernest should already have a way to be together with Gemma in a proper manner. By then,


    she would be the only one who was incredibly embarrassed.


    Ernest did not expect her to say this. He was slightly stunned, and a hint of displeasure was caught in


    his eyes.
