Chapter 269: Tremendous Jealousy


    Under the temptation of making progress in her career plus that Timothy had sent the books to her


    room, Florence thought for a second and then decided to stay in her room to read the books.


    Seeing that Florence had agreed with it, Ernest curled his lips into a triumphant smile.


    As for Reynold who was still waiting for Florence in the studio, oh, just let him keep waiting.


    Then Florence began to read the books brought by Ernest.


    Sitting on the other sofa, Ernest was reading a book of other field. He looked quite concentrated at the


    moment.


    Florence shifted her gaze from the look and stole a nce at Ernest. The ambience around them was


    so harmonious and Florence felt it good.


    When Ernest didn’t do those ambiguous things to her, Florence felt it enjoyable to get along with him.


    “Di… Di… Di…”


    A string of ringtone of WeChat message suddenly sounded in the quiet room.


    Few people would send WeChat message to her now as it was early in the morning.


    Florence felt a bit confused. She then put down her book and picked up her phone.


    She opened her WeChat and found it was a message from Reynold.


    Reynold: [Flory, where are you now? Why haven’t youe to the studio?]


    Florence: [I asked for a leave today.]


    Reynold: [Didn’t you say that you want to research the PJ Design today, why did you suddenly ask for a


    leave? Did anything happen to you?]


    Florence then recalled that she told Reynold that he wanted to research PJ Design and Reynold said


    that he would help her.


    Ernest suddenly came to find her and she was shocked by his talentter and she forgot about her


    appointment with Reynold.


    Florence felt a bit sorry for him and hurriedly replied him.


    Florence: [Mr. Hawkins sent all the books about PJ to my room and temporarily I can’t finish reading


    them. It will be inconvenient for me to move them back, so I decided to study in my room.]


    Reynold: [Although you have books, you need someone to exin the knowledge to you. How about


    this, may Ie to your room to teach you?]


    Florence: [No need to be bothered. Mr. Hawkins is in my room and he said he will exin it to me.]


    Reynold: [He’s in your room?! He’s not a designer and PJ is quite abstruse. Does he understand it?]


    Florence: [Maybe he’s a genius. I asked him several questions just now and he really had knowledge in


    it.]


    Reynold was rendered speechless.


    Reynold: [Are you staying in the same room alone? I’m worrying about you.]


    Although it was just a text message, Florence seemed to be able to see Reynold’s worries for her


    through the screen.


    Ernest wanted to have sex with her at that night but failed. Although Florence didn’t tell Reynold about


    that, Reynold was so wise and he could guess what had happed roughly.


    Moreover, when Florence ran out of the room at that night, it was Reynold who booked a room for her.


    After reading Reynold’s message, Florence involuntarily recalled that she and Ernest almost lost


    themselves and had sex before.


    She thought that staying in the same room together with Ernest was a very dangerous thing.


    And she had been trying to evade Ernest during this period of time.


    But now…


    Florence looked up at the man who was sitting not far away from her. He looked casual and was


    concentrated on the book.


    He was enshrouded in an ambience of study, which made him lookposed and intellectual.


    The scene looked peaceful and quite.


    Florence felt it heart to be precautionary of him when she saw this look of him.


    She then recalled that during the past few days, Ernest had been acting gentlemanly and hadn’t done


    that thing to her again. Her alienation and defense against him was decreased silently.


    But she knew deep down about this matter.


    They almost had sex for two times. As for the first time, she was drugged with philter but Ernest didn’t


    do anything to her in the end.


    Last time, although they were both spellbound by each other, he let go of her in the end.


    To be frank, it was the greatest tolerance and protection for her as Ernest stopped his plunder for two


    times.


    As a matter of fact, he never hurt her.


    Florence was not afraid of Ernest at all. Thergest reason why she was startled and then wanted to


    evade him was that she was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions and fall in love with him


    if he was too close and intimate with him.


    Ernest, who was reading the book, noticed Florence’s gaze and looked up, “What’s wrong?”


    His voice was low and pleasant to ears.


    Florence suddenly came back to her own senses. She shook her head and replied, “Nothing.”


    She shifted her gaze and took a nce at her phone and then texted a message.


    Florence: [I’m good. Don’t worry about me.]


    It was not only a reply to Reynold, but also an answer for herself.


    She hadpletely let down her defense against Ernest and she couldn’t lie to herself any longer.


    She had allowed him to stay in her territory.


    At the other end of the phone, Reynold felt so angry when he saw Florence’s reply. But he felt


    overwhelmed by helplessness at the same time.


    Ernest had managed to stay in Florence room now and Florence was not vignt towards him


    anymore.


    The chance for him to get Florence was getting slimmer and slimmer. If this continued, he would be


    completely hopeless.


    No way.


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    It could not continue like this. He must find out a way and take the initiative.


    Although Ernest was reading book, he secretly had his eyes on Florence and saw all her movements.


    She chatted with someone and then put down her phone.


    Taking advantage of his height, he could roughly see the screen of Florence’s phone – it was the


    chatting interface of WeChat.


    But he couldn’t see clearly of whom she was chatting with.


    He roughly could guess who was at the other end of the phone.


    Ernest pressed his lips together and then curled them into an aggressive smile. This was just the


    beginning of theirpetition, and he would not give the chance for Reynold to chat with Florence by


    WeChat in the future.


    Florence was reading book with her head lowered and had no knowledge about thepetition


    between the two men.


    She felt flustered at the moment.


    She was not clear of her feelings towards Ernest.


    Everything seemed to go out of control.


    PJ was a big project and it had to take a long period of time to research it. This was also thest task


    for Florence’s business trip to Riverside City.


    Therefore, for the next few days, Florence had been staying in her room to read the books and Ernest


    was her instructor.


    The atmosphere between them was a bit awkward at the very beginning. But gradually, it became more


    and more harmonious.


    Sometimes when she was in a trance, Florence would feel that Ernest was one of her best friends.


    If this continued, it seemed to be good to be his friend.


    With such a thought in her mind, she subconsciously rxed herself in front of Ernest.


    She became ustomed to it when Ernest stayed in her room for a long time. As they always read


    books together, naturally they had meal together.


    Ernest was still picky even if they were not in City N now. He had an exclusive restaurant and ordered a


    table of dishes.


    He wanted to let her full-up.


    Ernest’s exclusive restaurant was at the same floor of the restaurant for the staff living in the hotel. But


    they were in the opposite directions.


    After finishing the meal, Florence and Ernest would take the lift at the other end of the corridor.


    Generally speaking, they would not encounter any staff of thepany.


    Unexpectedly, when Florence and Ernest walked to the lift, they encountered Reynold.
