Love’s Unexpected Arrival The Bride Who Came Knocking by Rochelle

Chapter 18 I Need a Plus One

At Hawk’s Office in the Cullen Group. Luke stood opposite the desk, holding a folder in his hand and reporting sorts of things. “Mr. Cullen, the news about the Dylan Group’s insolvency has been released. The public response was as we expected. After Carl’s bank loan was disapproved, several EOs who once agreed to lend him money also avoid seeing him, including Carl’s best friend and his father-in-law.” “Got it.” Hawk didn’t even raise his head. He was looking intently at the business documents in his hand. The ten golden years of the real estate industry would soon pass. Nowadays major companies were competing with each other to acquire land. Hawk felt it was necessary to change the development path. He needed to select the industries with the brightest prospects and then invest heavily in them. Luke continued, “Mr. Cullen, Mr. White’s daughter is called Ashley White. The banquet will start on time at eight o’clock tomorrow night.” “Alright.” “Ms. Dylan has returned to China. She will attend the banquet tonight.” “No need to report this to me.” Luke cleared his throat and immediately continued, “Ms. Nolan had an accident at the construction site of Great Mansion a few days ago. The tower pendant almost hit her. It was said that an intern named Mark Groves pushed her away to save her. Mark was seriously injured and is now in the hospital. Maria has been taking care of him and refused the medical compensation from the construction company.” Hawk frowned. No wonder she looked anxious and pale at the bank. Hawk put down the business documents in his hand. He stood up and said, “I’ll go to the hospital!” “Mr. Cullen, you are required to attend the online conference in half an hour,” Luke said immediately. Hawk frowned. “Go to the hospital to see if Maria needs help. If that man’s injury is too serious, transfer him to Harold’s hospital and tell Harold that he will do the surgery himself and make the best arrangements.” “Ok,” Luke said. He was curious. Did Hawk fall in love with Maria? But Maria was indeed pretty. She had fair skin, a slim figure, and lovely eyes. Compared to Hawk’s ex-girlfriend, she was even better! No wonder Hawk liked her. “Luke, what are you hesitating for?” Hawk looked at Luke dissatisfied. “Oh, I’ll go right away!” Luke rushed out of Hawk’s office. After Luke left the office, Hawk took out his phone and called Maria. Maria was extremely nervous when she saw Hawk’s phone call. “Hawk!” “Yes,” Hawk responded and curled up his lips slightly. He could imagine the nervous look on her face. “What do you need me for?” Maria still sounded a little worried. “Tomorrow night, I’ll attend a banquet. I need a plus one,” Hawk said. “But I can’t dance.” “It doesn’t matter. I can lead you.” Maria glanced at Mark unconscious in bed and said, “Well, can you find someone else? I might not be able to leave for the time being” Although she owed Hawk 300 thousand dollars and was supposed to agree to his request, she didn’t want to leave the ward at this time. “We are about to get married. I don’t want another woman standing next to me,” Hawk said. This period was very critical for him. Hawk couldn’t afford any scandals at this time. It was a good time now to be seen with Maria in public, for they were going to marry. He was considering picking a suitable time to take her back to see his grandfather. He hoped Maria wouldn’t disappoint him. “But I really have to stay!” Maria looked at Mark lying on the bed again. She was in a quandary. “I have arranged for the best hospital and the best doctor for the patient you are taking care of. Don’t worry,” Hawk said. Maria was extremely shocked. She asked with surprise, “Really?” “Yes,” Hawk said. “Thank you, Hawk!” Maria held the phone tightly. Tears streamed down the corners of her eyes. She was so touched. At this time, she really needed his help.
