Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 60

Franklin leaned back slightly. He put one hand on the table and gentlytapped the table with his fingers, making a "thud" sound.

Emily sat up straight at once. Although she didn't get along with himfor a long time, she discovered a secret that every time Franklinthought about something, he would tap the table unconsciously. Now,it was clear that he was considering her proposal.

Sure enough.

A moment later, Franklin said, "It's not impossible for me to let him go.Nonetheless, I'm a man who will not leave my work half done. Now youwant me to let go of him, you have to make me happy.”

Emily's eyes lit up and asked quickly, "How can you be happy?""Well..." Franklin looked at her and said faintly, "Why don't we make adeal? I'll let him go and you do something for me."

Emily's mouth twitched. She hadn't asked him to do anything for her.Why should she promise him something when she asked him to letAnthony go?

But thinking of her mother, she agreed, "Tell me! What is it?"

"What can you do to help me? You can only do some trivial things.Besides, you're a disabled person. You can't finish them if I give youdifficult tasks. How about this? When you get well, you can work for meas an assistant in my company.” Franklin said slowly.

Emily said in surprise, "I'll be your assistant? What about Jason?"

"Do you think you can replace Jason?" Franklin sneered, "I just needsomeone to run errands for me. What Jason does is important.”

Emily pursed her lips, looked at him, and asked doubtfully, "Franklin, doyou like me?"

Franklin was stunned, then revealed a sneer and said, "Emily, why areyou so confident? How can I like you?"

Emily, ".."

If you didn't like me, why did you marry me, be responsible for me, helpme, and take me with you!

Emily complained in her heart and wanted to shout at him. But then shefelt that it was disgraceful to say it as if she was begging him to like her.She bit her lip and snorted, "Humph. You'd better not like me. I won'tlike you anyway."

"You still like Lucas?" Franklin said in a cold voice.

Emily immediately said, "Of course not. He's not my first love. I havesomeone I like."

"Who do you like?" Not only did Franklin's voice turn cold, but hisexpression turned cold.

Emily said stubbornly, "Why should I tell you?"

Then she turned her wheelchair and left the study. Before she left, sheglanced at the picture on his desk and guessed who the woman in themiddle was.

Franklin was so angry that he trembled all over and wanted to beat herup, who already married him but still liked her first love.

But reason triumphed over impulse. He did not do anything impulsiveand embarrassing.

Emily called her mother to tell her that she had made an agreementwith Franklin.

Sure enough, Abigail told her the next day that Anthony had come tothank her. His matter was settled. Although he lost his job, he was ableto keep his identity and was not sued by the court.

"Mom, don't worry about Anthony anymore." Emily thought about itand said to Abigail.

Abigail said awkwardly after a moment of silence, "I see. I'll try not totrouble you in the future. But he’s still your father. You should...""Mom, haven't you got over him?" Asked Emily.

Abigail was completely silent and did not speak. After a while, she saida few perfunctory words and hung up the phone.

Emily frowned. She had forgotten how her parents looked when theywere together. After all, Anthony divorced her mother when she wasvery young and betrayed her mother before she was born, which wasobvious from the age difference between her and Iris. So she neverimagined her parents’ feelings.

Before her mother's car accident, she lived with her mother andoccasionally met Anthony a few times. She didn't move to Anthony'shouse until her mother had a car accident. At Anthony's house, sheknew that Anthony and Elena loved each other.

She really couldn't figure out why her mother had been with someonelike Anthony and she still couldn't get over him.

When Franklin came back, Emily immediately told him about Anthonyand thanked him.

Franklin said coldly, "Don't thank me. We have a deal.”

Emily pursed her lips. Since the last time she talked to Franklin, itseemed that Franklin had been very cold to her for the past two days.He still looked after her, but he stopped talking and didn't even have asmile on his face. He kept a poker face as if she owed him lots ofmoney.

"Anyway, thank you for letting him off the hook," Emily said.

Franklin glanced at her and turned to leave. Emily quickly asked, "Hey,where are you going?"

"My name is 'hey'?" Franklin turned to look at her and asked coldly.Emily smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course not.”

Franklin's eyes were deep, and there was a profound meaning in them.He sighed and said, "It's like casting pearls before swine when I amangry with you. I have something to do. Do you have anything else?""No, if you have something to do, go ahead. We'll talk about it whenyou come back,” Emily said immediately.

Franklin gave her another meaningful look before turning around andleaving.

Emily sighed and patted her cheek. Why did she feel that herrelationship with Franklin was strange after that conversation?

Was he angry because she said she had a first love?

It shouldn't be! He had his first love as well. He even put her photo onthe table and watched her every day.

Emily sighed. It was hard to guess what Franklin was thinking!"Madam, do you want to take a walk in the garden?" The servant cameover to offer her a glass of water and asked her.

Emily shook her head. Although the garden was nice, she was tired of itas she had been walking in it for so many days. Now she just wanted togo out for a walk.

"Then."

"Charge my phone. I want to make a call,” Emily said quickly.

The servant nodded, charged her phone, and then gave the phone toher.

Emily called Joyce, who was excited when got a call from her, "Emily, Ithink you forget about me. You finally call me."

"You're so ungrateful. If I don't call you, why don't you call me?” Emilylaughed and scolded

Joyce said, "You are now Mrs. Brent, a lady of great wealth. How dare Idisturb you?"

"Come on. Others don't know me, but you know me well. Okay, let'snot talk about this. Are you free today? I want to go out for a walk, but Ican't replace anyone to accompany me," Emily said.

"You are a disabled person and you still want to go out! Does Franklinknow that?" Joyce asked quickly.

Emily snorted, "His beloved little sister is back, so he doesn't have timeto care about me. If you have time, come and pick me up. I haven'tbeen out for a long time."

"Okay, you wait. I'll call someone else to go with me to pick you up.”Joyce thought about it and agreed
