Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 72

"Emily, do not make trouble out of nothing." Franklin glared at herangrily, never expecting her to say such a thing.Emily pursed her lipsand shouted to the driver, "Stop the car. I want to get off.""Mr. Brent,"Facing a dilemma, the driver looked at Franklin.Emily yelled, "I told youto stop. If you don't stop, I'll open the door and get off.""Stop the car,”Franklin said coldly.The driver had no choice but to stop the car.Emilypushed the car door open and got off and slammed it shut as she

left. Although a voice in his head kept telling him to stay calm andsensible and tell him that he should chase this ungrateful andunreasonable woman back because it had been late. But emotionsswayed him from making the move."Let's go!" Franklin ordered thedriver with a heavy voice, with a very sullen expression on his face.Emilyleft angrily, cursing as she walked. After she had walked quite a longway, she realized she didn’t know where should she go in the middle ofthe night."Joyce, are you home? I'm outside now. Can you take me infor a night?" Emily called Joyce pitifully.Joyce said as she put on themask, "Of course, no problem. Do you want me to pick you up? Okay,then you can take a taxi. I'll wait for you." Twenty minutes later, Joyce'sdoorbell rang.Joyce ran to open the door and was hugged by Emily themoment she opened it."Joyce, it's good to have you," Emily saidgratefully.Joyce quickly pushed her away and said, "Come on. You'remarried. Not as close as before. Why are you here? Where's your richand handsome husband?""Don't talk to me about him. I quarreled withhim," Emily said angrily.Joyce quickly asked with a gossipy expression,"Why did you two quarrel? I saw that time he was quite protective ofyou and liked you quite a lot.""You don't know anything. In his eyes, Iam just his cat's-paw. He married me to deliberately piss off his mother,and possibly to show those relatives of his on purpose. Otherwise, whydid he say I was his assistant but did not introduce me as his wife at thehotel today?" Emily said in exasperation.After Emily telling Joyce thewhole story, Joyce frowned and said, "He actually only said that youwere just his assistant? Did he say that on purpose to that Miss Carter?Does he have a thing for that Miss Carter?""I don't think so. He firmlydenied it," said Emily.Joyce snorted and said, "Not to mention women,men have the same attitude when it comes to relationships, they are allin denial. Sometimes the more you deny it, the more you care, andthat's something I've learned over the years.""I still believe him on thispoint that he doesn't have a crush on Ivy. If he did have a crush onanyone, it would be that Miss Lewis who hasn't returned to our country.But all in all, he was just too much for me. I didn't expect him to make abig deal out of introducing me, but it's too much to be so perfunctory.”Emily was getting angrier as she spoke.Joyce quickly comforted her,"Well, you don't like him either. You two get what you need from eachother. Why do you care so much about how he introduced you? Areyou falling in love with him?""I didn’t,” Emily deniedimmediately.Joyce's words somehow made her feel jealous, and Emilyhad an indescribable feeling inside."Well, just wash up and sleep! Youdon't have to go to work tomorrow, but I have to renovate the house. Ihave an appointment with Christian. I can't be late,” Joyce saidimmediately.Emily pursed her lips. After all, it wasn't good to disturbpeople's rest in their homes, so she had to go wash up and then wearJoyce's clothes to bed.Joyce was drifting off to sleep when her phonesuddenly rang.Emily was also asleep. After she was woken up by theringing of her phone, she tapped Joyce and said, "Your phone isringing."Joyce closed her eyes and used her hands to replace her phone.She finally found the phone after searching for a while, picked up thephone and said, "Hey, who is it!""Is Emily with you?" The voice on thephone asked in a clear, cold voice.Joyce said, "Yes."Then the phone overthere hung up.Joyce's mind was muddled. She didn't think much aboutit, and she threw her phone away.The next day, Joyce woke up feelingvague that she had received a call last night, but she wasn't sure if shehad. She shook her head and hurried to the bathroom. When she cameout, she called out for Emily and ran out to buy breakfast.Emily was alsowearing Joyce's clothes today. Emily sat at the dining table, eatingbreakfast and staring at Joyce.Joyce was so frightened by Emily's starethat she finally couldn't stand it and asked, "Why are you looking at melike that? I'm getting goosebumps.""Joyce, tell me if you're in arelationship,” Emily asked.Joyce looked embarrassed and saidawkwardly, "Are you a detective? How can you tell I'm in love?"Emilysnorted coldly, "I know you like the back of my hand. You usually goout to buy breakfast with your hair down and in your pajamas, andwhen have you ever been so conscious of your appearance? You evenput on make-up to get breakfast today and dressed so formally. Youmust have been afraid of meeting someone and that's why you want todress up for others to see. And you eat far less quickly than before, nolonger gobbling but chewing slowly, which means that's how you'vebeen eating lately, am I right?""All right, you're a great detective. You'reright.” Joyce wanted to deny her words. But she couldn't control herselfand smiled coyly.Emily's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, "Who ishe? Which handsome guy? Do I know him?"Joyce blushed and nodded.When Emily saw Joyce's expression, she felt that she was indeed right.There was a saying that was right, "You can't hide a cold or a loveaffair.""Christian?" Emily suddenly thought of someone and asked insurprise.Joyce blushed even more and nodded again. If she didn't holdthe pancake in her hand, she would have covered her face with herhands After thinking about Christian, Emily couldn't help but smile andsay, "Christian is very good. I didn't expect you to be with him, but youwill be well matched.""But he liked you before, will you mind?" Joyceasked quickly."How is that possible? You're my best friend, and I thinkhe is good enough for you. Let's not talk about the past. Anyone canfall in love with someone accidentally." That's true.” Joyce giggledagain."How did you two start?" Emily asked, gossiping.Joyce's gigglingface fell for a moment and she beamed, "We haven't even started arelationship yet. I'm secretly in love with him and he doesn't know ityet. I'm thinking about whether to confess my love to him.""Ah, hedoesn't know yet?""Oh, no more talking. Let's go. I have anappointment with Christian. I can't be late." Joyce quickly dragged Emilyout.The two of them ran downstairs, not expecting a familiar car to beparked downstairs.Joyce didn't know the car, but Emily knew it verywell. Emily could not help but look serious and glared at the back doorwith resentment.The driver got out of the car and said to Emily with asmile, "Madam, please get in the car!"The driver opened the car door,and Franklin sat inside and gave Emily a cold look, but did not speakanything.
