Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 23

Emily said solemnly, "Mr. Brent, forgive me. You can really take it as if itnever happened, and indeed I have long forgotten. You have money,face, class, and manner. Just one look could make millions of girls fallfor you. Unfortunately, I don't think I have the luck. So, please... Findsomeone else!"

"So, you're rejecting me. Do you think I'm interested in you?" Franklinleaned back a little and asked sarcastically with one hand tapping onthe table.

"Wasn't it?" Emily thought to herself.

She pursed her lips and said awkwardly, "If not, that's the best. Sorry forthe misunderstanding. I'm too presumptuous.”

"Is that all? Who do you think I am?" Franklin suddenly got up andleaned forward, looking down at her, his gaze hooded, his eyesdarkening. He's breathing harder than usual, and she stoppedbreathing altogether with him.

"So what?" Emily asked in a daze.

Franklin sneered, leaving her with a meaningful look, and then got upand left

"Mr. Brent, you haven't eaten up yet?!" When Emily saw that he wasleaving, she immediately stood up and chased after him.

She ran into him from behind and bumped into his back.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Emily apologized immediately.

Franklin turned around and said gloomily, "Emily, what are you doing?Playing cat and mouse with me?"

"What... What are you talking about? I just think that I have ordered somany dishes. It's a shame to waste them. At least you should eat thembefore you leave," Emily explained timidly.

Franklin gritted his teeth. He had never seen such a woman before. Shewas so stupid... so stupid that she made him want to knock her headopen to see what was inside.

He stared at her exquisitely sculptured mouth. Damn it. He's completelycaptivated by this stupid woman. He held her at arm's length, and theone thing he could think was to kiss her. And he did it.

Emily widened her eyes and wailed in her heart, "Again?"

“Let me go."

Emily immediately pushed Franklin away as hard as she could, snortingand refusing.

"Hey, smart girl. Guess what I meant by kissing you this time." Franklinwhispered. He hadn't taken his hands off Emily.

Emily gasped for air, her eyes reddened from being offended by him,and she felt aggrieved beyond measure.

"So, Mr. Brent, you think money is powerful enough to help you getanything you want? You are wealthy so you can assault me wheneveryou want?"

Emily didn't have much feeling for Franklin, but now she hated him.Most importantly... She felt like she could not catch her breath. Herhead was spinning. She began to feel faint.

Franklin didn't expect that to happen. As soon as she fell, he caught herquickly and looked at her pale face frowning.

"Hey, wake up."
