Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 71

"I wonder who the lady is?" Someone asked

Just as Emily was about to answer, Franklin said first, "She's myassistant.”

Emily was speechless.

She pursed her lips and looked at him sadly. Why was he so afraid toadmit that she was his wife?

“Franklin.” Ivy ran over and took Franklin's arm and smiled

"Hello, Mr. Carter.” Everyone else greeted Harry.

The young and talented all set their eyes on Ivy. No one dislikedbeautiful women, not to mention such a beautiful woman with strongand rich family background.

Emily was quickly left behind. No matter how close Franklin was to her,she was just an assistant and not worth everyone's attention. Ivy wasdifferent. She was Harry's favorite little sister, and she was so beautiful.Besides, she was so close to Franklin that she might become "Mrs.Brent".

Seeing that Franklin was surrounded by the crowd and could only beseen vaguely, Emily could not help but slightly pout. Suddenly, she feltthat Franklin was a person far away from her, both physically andspiritually.

"I don't expect you to be Franklin's assistant.” Andrew approached herand said in a low voice.

Emily was stunned. Seeing Andrew leaning over, she avoided himsubconsciously and said angrily, "You still dare to see me? Aren't youafraid of me calling the police?”

Andrew sneered, "Call the police? Then accuse me of raping? It wasyour father who sent you to me. Besides, I didn't do anything to you."Emily gritted her teeth, and her face turned red with anger.

Andrew was right. It was Anthony who sent her to him. And, indeed hedid nothing to her. It was useless for her to call the police.

But she really didn't want to see this man. He would remind her of thehumiliation that night.

"I'm curious about what happened after you ran away that day. Whohelped you?" Andrew added.

"It's none of your business.”

"Was it Franklin?” Andrew guessed, but his tone was firm.

Emily frowned.

Andrew continued, "You hurt me that day. I thought I was hurt badly byyou. Luckily, I was fine. Otherwise, I would have haunted you all overthe city. But that your being together with Franklin was out of myexpectation. I heard that he's an ascetic. You were charming that day,but did he really have sex with you?"

"You bastard.” Emily was so angry that her face totally turned red, andshe couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

If it were on a common occasion, she would have punched Andrew.Andrew chuckled and his eyes shone.

Emily was so frightened by his gaze that she quickly went to the otherside to avoid far away from him.

After the greetings, everyone sat down to eat. Emily wanted to sit nextto Franklin. But he already had Ivy by his side. The other side wasempty, but it was next to Andrew, so Emily had no choice and sat nextto Harry.

She didn't know anyone else except Harry.

"Why is this assistant still here?" Someone asked in surprise.

Emily was stunned and looked around in surprise. Only then did sherealize that all the assistant secretaries that the bosses had broughtwith them had gone out, and she was the only one sitting here.

"I'l be right out." Emily stood up awkwardly.

Harry held her hand and smiled, "It's Ok. Let's eat together!"

He said to the man who had just questioned her, "It is my friend, andalso a little sister of mine. Is Boss Ho unhappy for her?”

"Oh, how could I? It turns out that it's not only Mr. Brent's assistant butalso Boss Zhong's little sister. I'll make a cup of wine as a penance formy being disrespectful and offensive.”

Emily smirked but gave Franklin a resentful look.

How mean he was! He had behaved so well before as if he had treatedher very well. She didn't expect him to be so heartless and ungratefulthat he would leave her alone at such an occasion.

Fortunately, Harry was nice. He chatted with her and helped her withthe food. This meal was not too awkward.

"What happened to you and Franklin?" Harry asked in a low voice whilefilling her bowl.

Emily snorted, "I don't know. We were fine before.”

But when they came here, he treated her like a stranger.

"We all heard that Franklin didn't introduce you. Perhaps, he didn't wantto be misunderstood!" Harry said.

Emily looked at him, and Harry smiled again, "Have some more."

Emily pursed her lips, not knowing what to eat.

Finally, the dinner was over, and everyone left with compliments. Itseemed that Franklin also disliked this kind of occasion, so he tookEmily out first.

Before they left, Andrew wanted to shake Emily's hand.

In front of so many people, Emily could not refuse, so she had toendure the nausea and shake hands with him.

She didn't expect that he would be so shameless that he scratched herpalm and smiled ambiguously.

"Bastard! Asshole!" Emily cursed in her heart.

After getting in the car, she was still angry and could not calm down atall.

Franklin looked at her in surprise, reached out his hand and touchedher cheek, "What happened? You look so angry. Who irritates you?"Emily thought of Franklin's perfunctory response to her just now, andshe awkwardly avoided, and said, "None of your business.”

"Weren't you afraid to introduce me to others as your wife? What wasthat mean of 'your assistant’? Stop harassing me!" She thought."What's wrong with you? You were not sitting next to me. Was Harry'sservice so great?" Franklin asked unhappily.

He was very angry about the meal. He didn't expect that she wouldchoose to sit next to Harry instead of sitting next to him.

Besides, she and Harry had a great time talking during the meal. Shekept whispering and did not take him seriously.

"How could you complain about me? Didn't you have a good chat withIvy?" Emily retorted angrily.

Franklin snorted coldly, "When did you see that I was having a goodchat with her? I have been paying attention to you. There was no timeto talk to anyone else.”

Emily's heart trembled a little when she heard this, and a strangefeeling arose in her mind.

However, thinking that he refused to introduce her, she still feltwronged and snorted coldly, "I am just an assistant to you. What doyou mean by paying attention to me all the time?"

Franklin was in a daze.

"You are really unreasonable.” Franklin was furious. It was the first timehe had seen Emily so unreasonable.

Emily's eyes were filled with tears. It was him who had overdone, butnow he said she was the unreasonable one.

"Yes, I am unreasonable. Miss Carter is more sensible and cute than me.If you regret it now, it will not be too late. Anyway, I am not pregnant,and divorce is not a matter. I think that Miss Carter would love to marryyou."
