Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 74

"Jason." Emily greeted Jason.Jason was surprised to see her, "MissJohnson, why didn't you come with Mr. Brent?"Emily smiled and said,"It's a long story. I'd better not say it. Let me ask you, is Mr. Brent in agood mood today?""No." Jason shook his head.Franklin and his wifeworked in the same company, while they went to work separately. Inthis case, no one would feel good."Is there anything he likes to drinkthat will make him feel better?” Emily asked quickly.Jason was smartand worldly. He could guess what Emily was up to with a singlethought. But he thought that Emily was trying to make up with Mr.Brent and please him.So he smiled and said, "Mr. Brent likes to drinktea, sometimes coffee. But there is one thing that few people know. Mr.Brent likes to drink coffee with more sugar and milk. For this reason,Mr. Brent is very disgusted with drinking it himself, and he always feelsthat it will damage his wise and powerful image.""Gee, he's just beingpretentious. He can just drink whatever he likes. It won't do harm toanything,” Emily sneered.Jason said, "Why don’t you make a cup ofcoffee with more milk and sugar and bring it to Mr. Brent personally?Mr. Brent will be happy.""Okay, I go and make it now. Thanks, Jason,”Emily said gratefully.Jason smiled and thought that if Mr. Brent couldfeel better, things would also become easier for them. So in fact, he didthis for his own good.Emily personally made a cup of coffee with sugarand milk, walked to Franklin's office and knocked on the door.Franklindidn't know it was her. He asked her to come in without raising hishead.It was only when Emily came up to him with the coffee and put iton the table that he realized it. He put down the materials in his handand looked up at her in surprise."Alas, why are you looking at me insuch an odd way? I treat you to coffee with extra milk and sugar. Iwonder if you like it or not." Emily smiled.Franklin's eyes deepened andpushed the coffee aside, "I'm afraid there's something else init.""Something else? What's that?" Emily couldn't react for amoment.”Poison!" Franklin said.Emily was speechless.She was so angrythat her face turned red, and she said in a helpless voice, "Don't youknow how to show gratitude? It's fine if you don't thank me for mykindness to make you a cup of coffee. But you suspect me of addingpoison in the coffee. Do you think I'm going to poison you to death?Since you don't believe me, I'll take a sip first."Emily took a sip of thecoffee and put it down, "See? If there is any poison, it's me who's goingto die. Don't worry.""Maybe you have taken some antidotes before,”Franklin said coldly.Emily laughed angrily, "You have read too manymartial arts novels. You think there are antidotes? Drink it or not. If youdon't like it, just pour it into the trash can.""Tell me! What do you wantfrom me?" Franklin asked lazily.Emily's face froze, and she saidreluctantly, "Who wants to beg you? You take yourself as the god ofmercy? Anyone will ask you for help?""You didn't even want to take mycar this morning, but now you made me coffee on your own initiative,and you made it in the way that I like. You must have asked Jason aboutit on purpose! If you don't have any purposes, you won't do such athing. What do you want exactly?""l don't want anything from you. I'mjust... just...""What?" Franklin asked indifferently.Emily gritted her teeth,slammed her hands on Franklin's desk and asked with a seriousexpression, "Actually, I have always felt guilty and grateful for that time.Thank you for saving me and I feel guilty of you. But I only know thetruth today. It turns out that you were in the same situation as me thatday. You were framed and needed to be rescued. I don't have to thankyou at all, because we all take advantage of each other.""Did my cousingo to you?" Franklin narrowed his eyes and asked.Emily immediatelysaid, “It's not him going to me, it's someone else. Anyway, don't changethe subject. Is this true?"Franklin's expression turned cold, and helooked at her coldly.Emily felt a little guilty when he looked at her, butshe kept gazing at him.Finally, with their eyes wide open, Franklinseemed to be defeated. He sighed and said slowly, "Yes, I was indeedtricked that day, but unlike you. Matthew still didn't dare to give mesuch a strong drug, just something to turn me on. They always thinkthat I am too cold and indifferent to women, so they suspect that I amasexual. So he added something to the wine to arouse my sexualdesires, and then let his cousin in revealing clothing lean on me. I foundit out at that time and pushed her away. Then I met you when I left, andI knew what had happened to you as long as I looked at you.""I didn'thave to do those things. It was totally fine. I would just take a coldshower at the most.” Franklin emphasized again.Emily's mouthtwitched, but she said in disbelief, "I don't believe it. Of course, you cansay whatever you want now. If it was really that simple, why did yousend your nephew to Africa? You must hate him for doing that! In fact, Istill don't understand why you take responsibility for me if you're soangry about this. In fact, if you don't want to be responsible for me, it'seasy for you to deal with a person like me."Besides, if he said hewouldn't take the responsibility, she wouldn't pester him."Believe it ornot, that's what happened. The reason I threw him to Africa forpunishment was not because of the drug itself he gave me, but becausehe dared to give me the drug. Since he dared to do it, he had to bearthe consequences,” Franklin said coldly.Emily pursed her lips, knowingthat Franklin was right.In this matter, Matthew really deserved alesson.However, thinking of Ryan's plea, she could only sigh and say,"After so long, he must have known he was wrong. I heard he was stillsick. Why not let him back?""Who exactly found you?" Franklin askedagain.Emily didn't want to betray Ryan, so she refused to tell him again,"l can't tell you.""If you don't tell me, I won't agree to your request,”Franklin said.Emily turned her eyes and asked expectantly, "So you willsay yes if I tell you?"Franklin smiled and tapped his fingers on the table."It depends on your performance."Emily curled her lips and thought fora moment, "It was Ryan that came to me. We met at dinner that day, sohe begged me. He was so sincere that I didn't bear to refuse him. Ofcourse, I have already said everything I have to say. It's up to you todecide what to do in the end. What else can I do? Of course, I won't doanything to please you for someone who indirectly harmed me. Thiscup of coffee is the most."
