Chapter 265: How Intimate They Were?
Tina tried hard to suppress her enviousness and waved her hand at a waiter, “Waiter, please, we want
to order food.”
The waiter quickly came over and handed out three menus to them respectively.
Ernest didn’t take a nce at the menu. He simply sat on the sofa elegantly and looked towards
Florence from time to time.
Although Tina was furious, she was an elite of the industry after all. She sensibly suppressed her
negative emotions and maintained the politeness that a host should have.
Noticing that Ernest didn’t even open the menu, she asked, “Mr. Hawkins, why don’t you order food?
Are you unsatisfied with this restaurant?”
“Florence will order food for me.” Ernest replied in an extremely natural manner.
Florence, who was reading the menu, was stunned. Why did he ask her to order food for him?
Tina was also confused and ufortable. She took a nce at Florence, “Looks like Miss Fraser is
quite familiar with Mr. Hawkins’ preference?”
It was true that she was quite familiar with it.
Florence felt a bit unease and nodded her head stiffly.
Tina felt gloomier. “It’s out of my expectation. It’s not long after your engagement, and I thought you’re
not clear of each other’s preference.
Ernest was superior and was busy in usual times. Therefore, even if Florence was his fiancée, they
would not date each other frequently.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.
She thought they would not be as intimate as those loving couples and would not be so familiar with
each other.
Tina was sighing emotionally, but her words had some connotations and she was actually questioning
it, roughly meaning that Florence would probably order something Ernest didn’t like.
Florence felt a bit ufortable and pressed her lips together. But she didn’t want to retort her or to
argue with her.
Right at this moment, Ernest’s low and indifferent voice sounded.
“We live together and it has been Florence who selects dishes for me.”
Tina was immediately stunned and looked at the persons sitting opposite to her in astonishment.
They were living together?
Their rtionship was enhanced so quickly! And they were so intimate!
And it was Ernest who told her about such a private thing. Apparently, he was very satisfied with
Florence, or more precisely, he didn’t want to hide his rtionship with Florence from the public.
Ernest’s proactivity made Tina realize about Ernest’s attitude towards Florence.
He would not be seduced or snatched by the other woman.
How ridiculous that she racked her mind today and tried to snatch Ernest from Florence.
All her hope was crushed. Tina thought Florence an eyesore and she became more envious of her.
But she had a good control of her facial expressions. Therefore, although she was staring at Florence,
Florence simply regarded it as a gaze of astonishment that was caused by the ambiguous topic.
Hence, Florence felt a bit embarrassed.
Why did Ernest tell such a thing to other people?
Florence felt very embarrassed. A trace of light shed across her eyes and she hurriedly shifted the
topic.
“Ms. Alston, Ie here to exin the thing happened in the morning to you.”
Tina simply fixed her eyes on Florence. She didn’t give her any reply, nor did she say that she didn’t
want her exnation.
Florence knew deep down that Tina didn’t have a good first impression of her and she didn’t think too
much of it. She continued to exin with sincerity, “I actually saw Ms. White knocked over the thing.
But I didn’t expose it, because we were in the fashion show and if I exposed it, it would attract other’s
attentions. The guests were here for the fashion show, not for themotion. Originally, I wanted to
solve the problem in private and asked the one who knocked over the thing to deal with it. But I hadn’t
expected that Ms. White would frame me up.”
She didn’t want to stir up any trouble, but the trouble came to her.
She was really wronged.
Tina stared at Florence coldly, showing no sympathy towards her.
More precisely, she didn’t give a shit to the ident happened in the morning.
No matter Florence was innocent or not, she would not have any good impression of her and she even
hoped so much that she could disappear into the thin air.
“Okay, I see.”
Tina replied casually and calmly. I looked like she didn’t care about it at all.
Florence was stunned, feeling a bit defeated.
She exined it to her sincerely with a wish that Tina would change her attitude towards her. But now it
looked like that her exnation didn’t achieve any effect.
And Florence could tell that Tina still didn’t like her.
As Ernest had been fixing his eyes on Florence, he saw clearly of the inexplicable disappointment on
her face. Her eyes became gloomy.
He pressed his lips even tighter.
Although Tina didn’t have any interest in Florence, she had some feelings for Ernest and moreover, she
wanted to cooperate with him in business.
Therefore, she still had a good attitude towards Ernest, “Mr. Hawkins, I invited you to here tonight to put
an end to the negotiation of our coboration. If we have a pleasant talk this time, I hope we can sign
the contract tonight.”
After finishing the words, Tina gracefully picked up the ss of red wine from the table and toasted
towards Ernest.
This was a kind of greeting that was usually seen at a meal of negotiation.
Ernest looked at Tina coldly. He sat on the sofa elegantly, but refused to lift his hand.
Tina, who was toasting at Ernest, felt awkward.
She hadn’t expected that Ernest would be so cold and aloof and he even embarrassed her by refusing
her toast. She felt very embarrassed at the moment.
Tina kept the posture, her face gradually turning pale and she even failed to maintain the fake smile on
her face.
Florence looked at Ernest in surprise. Although he was also cold and aloof in usual times, he would not
refuse other people’s toast directly and disrespectfully.
Florence hesitated for a while when she saw the awkwardness on Tina’s face and then secretly
touched Ernest’s hand under the table.
But Ernest grabbed Florence’s hand in his palm.
His big palm wrapped her small hand and he rubbed her hand slowly.
Florence immediately blushed. She was flustered and wanted to withdraw her hand. What the hell was
Ernest doing? Tina toasted him, but she ignored her and yed with her hand.
Didn’t he notice that Tina almost failed to control her expression as she was extremely embarrassed?
Tina felt so awkward. Her hand froze in the air and she felt it inappropriate no matter to maintain the
posture or to retreat her hand.
She tried hard to force a smile on her face and reminded Ernest again, “Mr. Hawkins, cheers.”
She thought Ernest would toast with her if she said these.
However, Ernest still sat on the sofaposedly, showing no intention to toast with Tina.
He shifted his gaze away from Florence and spared a nce at Tina as if it was a blessing. His gaze
was so indifferent that it made people tremble.
“Our coboration is cancelled.”
“What?”
Tina was frightened by the four simple words. Her expressions changed dramatically.
She gazed at Ernest with astonishment and disbelief.
“Mr. Hawkins, you must be joking, right? We had several rounds of sessful negotiation concerning
about this coboration and we’re here to decide on some details today and n to sign the contract.”
She thought that he would require having more rounds of negotiation regarding these details, but she
hadn’t expected that Ernest would cancel the coboration without saying anything or reading anything.
It was a great shock to Tina. If it wasn’t because she was sitting on the sofa, she would have fallen
down onto the ground.
