Hello, Mr. Brent -
Chapter 43
When Franklin and Emily went downstairs, Mrs. Brent was waiting in theliving room impatiently.
When they showed up, she said unhappily, "What takes you so long?Don't you know I'm here? You have kept me waiting for so long.”"Mother, please calm down. Franklin works hard and he is a newlywed.It's natural for him to get up late in the morning.”
Mrs. Wright-Lucas' mother, also came here. Mrs. Wright stood next toMrs. Brent, playing the role of a sweet daughter.
But maybe it seemed more appropriate if the two changed theiridentities.
Mrs. Brent snorted coldly, "A newlywed? When did he get married?Who admitted it? Whoever in our family has received an invitation toattend the wedding? He is married because he has got a marriagecertificate? Who are you kidding? As his mother, I know nothing aboutit. How can they be newlyweds?"
"The law makes us newlyweds," Franklin said.
Mrs. Brent became angrier after hearing that and pointed at him inexasperation, "Franklin, do you think that you are strong enough to goagainst your mother? Your marriage is the most important of our entirefamily. How can you make the decision without consulting us? How canyou skip the wedding? Have you ever thought of my feelings?"
"If you don't come, I'm going to bring her home today to tell you thegood news and have a family dinner to celebrate it,” Franklin saidcalmly.
Mrs. Brent rebuked coldly, “Family dinner? I don't deserve it. Gettingmarried without hosting wedding ceremony? Franklin, do you think Ihave no idea what you are planning? You're just planning all these forher? You're even taking advantages of this shallow girl to fool me? Youjust want to tell me that if I don't allow you to marry her, you will replace aworse one?"
Emily twitched her lips innocently aside. She was somehow offended.Franklin frowned and said with a cold face, "You can think whatever youwant to! I have been married to Emily anyway. It doesn't matter if youadmit it or not. She's my wife, and she doesn't have to be recognizedby others.”
"Franklin, am I nothing to you?" Mrs. Brent's eyes turned red withanger.
Mrs. Wright quickly stood out and advised, "Franklin, you're going toofar. Mother is worried about you. She came here early in the morningbecause she cares about you."
"Stop it. He doesn't know my thoughts and pain! He's ungrateful andvicious." Mrs. Brent cried.
Franklin was upset but helpless when she was crying, and Emily lookedat all these embarrassedly.
Emily couldn't take it anymore. She went up to Mrs. Brent and said,"Mother, don't be too sad. We've already got our marriage certificate.Maybe you'll like me after getting along with me for a long time.”"Who's your mother? You're so audacious. How dare you call memother," Mrs. Brent scolded her.
When Franklin saw that, he reached out his hand to pull her over andsaid, "Aren't you late for work? I'll ask the driver to take you there. Havebreakfast on the way, and the driver will prepare it for you."
"All right! I'll go first.” Emily nodded and dashed out. It was obviousthat Mrs. Brent really didn't like her. It's better for her to leave.
Perhaps after she left, Mrs. Brent could calm down and talk withFranklin.
The driver drove Emily to Hilton have breakfast. She had never had sucha nice breakfast before. Since Thinking Franklin would pay the bill, sheordered some more and took them to the office.
When her colleagues saw it, they all complaint she should told themfirs, then they would not bought their own first. But what Emily gotlooked really yummy. They could not help having some more eventhough they had already taken some previously.
"Emily, you don't have to spend too much even if you have made afortune! Breakfast in Hilton is quite expensive,” the manager told Emily.She knew Emily's financial condition. Emily's mother needed a lot ofmoney. She didn't want her to spend too much.
Emily smiled awkwardly and said, "It doesn't matter. A friend just gaveme some coupons. It's free. "
"I see! Then I'll take another cheese cake,” the manager said happily.Joyce leaned over and whispered to her, "Mr. Brent is the friend, right?"As the only insider, she was extremely excited.
Emily nodded quietly and said in a low voice, "Yes, so help yourself!""You want to fawn on me just with breakfast! I'm your best friend. Hehas to treat me to a better one before getting my recognition,” Joycesaid in a playful tone.
"Sure, when he is free.” Emily promised her with a smile.
After breakfast, they cleaned up the table and started to work.
First, there was a regular meeting. After that, they went back to theirposition.
A client came to the office, saying he wanted to see the model house,and requiring Emily to show him around.
Emily was surprised and rushed out to meet the client. He's waiting inthe outside, in the car.
"Why are you here?"
"So we meet again, Miss Johnson.”
It turned out the boss was Harry Carter.
"Mr. Carter, I'm sorry, but I have nothing to talk with you. If you reallysay something, why don't you go for Franklin? I still have to work,"Emily said impatiently.
She still remembered that Harry had deliberately deceived her last time.She was very angry that he lied to her. Liar is the tag Emily gives to him.Harry said with a bitter smile, "Are you angry with me? Did I offendMiss Johnson last time that you treat me like this?"
"You didn't offend me. You just lied to me. If you want to play the oldtricks because of your sister, I'm sorry, I have no time.”
"Sorry, it was my fault for hiding the truth from you last time. Franklinhas told you everything! My younger sister is not his childhoodsweetheart, she just admires him. I haven't told you clearly. It's myfault.”
"Mr. Carter, you don't have to apologize to me. This has nothing to dowith me.”
"What about the house? Miss Johnson, can you do me a favor andintroduce to me a fancy one?"
"Oh, I don't think you need another house?" Emily snorted. He took heras a fool!
"Miss Johnson, I really want to buy a house. I promise not to lie to youthis time. You don't want to lose me as a client either! If I like the house,it will be a one-off payment.”
Emily frowned and hesitated. Harry looked sincere. He might be tellingthe truth this time.
If she sold a house to Harry, she would get a hefty commission
"Well, Mr. Carter, I hope that you will keep your word this time and stopbeing a liar."
