Hello, Mr. Brent -
Chapter 82
The moment Emily and Franklin went home, the housekeeper told themHarry sent a car to them and now it was in the garage.
Franklin nodded and said okay.
But Emily was surprised and exclaimed, "Does he really send a car tome?"
"Well, do you think he’s joking?" Franklin chuckled.
Emily curled her lips and said unhappily, "Franklin, I replace it hard tounderstand you. You are so sophisticated. Sometimes I really don'tknow what you're thinking."
"What are you thinking about? Why should I be so easy to be seenthrough by a silly person like you?" Franklin brushed her hair.
"Don't touch my hair.” Emily dodged him again. She had told him notto touch her hair many times before, but he just ignored her.
Hearing this, Franklin smiled and touched her hair again behind herback.
Just as Emily was about to scold him, Franklin said, "Since he sent youthe car, let's see what it looks like."
"Hmph." Emily groaned with annoyance and walked to the garage withhim.
The driver and Jason would drive their car out of the garage to sendthem to work every morning. Therefore, Emily had never been there.When she got there, she was surprised and could not even believe whatshe saw.
Was this a garage or an auto show?
There were a dozen luxury cars of different colors in the garage, andthey were staggering than any cars she had seen in exhibitions.
"It's this one. It's not bad.” Franklin pointed to a white BMW.
Emily gulped a little bit. She could recognize the BMW logo. She justdidn't expect Harry to be so generous to give her a BMW.
"Do you like it?" Franklin asked.
Emily nodded vigorously. She liked it so much. She got her driver'slicense in college, but she had no money to buy a car. She was now sosurprised and could not love it more.
"Well, I don't allow you to drive this car though you like it so much. Justleave it here! If you like cars, I'll send you another one.” Franklinsignaled her to choose one among dozens in the garage as she liked.Emily asked in surprise, "Are these all your cars?”
"Of course, who else do you think?"
"How do you..."
"I have money and can get anything I like." Franklin answered beforeshe asked.
Emily was speechless.
She curled her lips. What else could she say?
"Have you made your mind? Which one do you like?" Franklin asked.Looking at the luxury cars in line, Emily was almost tempted into sayingyes. But after looking around, she shook her head and said, "Il won'tchoose anyone. They are too luxurious. I'm not very good at drivingand haven't been in the driver's seat for a long time. What if I have anyone of them scratched? I cannot afford it! I'd better save some moneyand buy an ordinary car on my own!"
"Silly girl, I'm your man. Can't I even afford a car? Just have a look andchoose the one you like. I'll send it to you." Franklin was amused by herreply and felt a little angry. He reached out and rubbed her hair againgently.
Emily blushed slightly, but she insisted, "No, I don't want you to give itto me. I'll buy it myself. I've already saved up a little money. I'll getenough money soon if I try hard.”
"It is up to you. You can buy whatever car you want. Do not worry aboutthe price. Just one condition: do not buy a car with poor quality. Safetyis the most important.”
"So is this car parked here?" Emily nodded in assent and pointed at thecar Harry sent to her.
"This car belongs to you. You can do whatever you want except thatyou drive it." Franklin said.
"Is it really mine?" Emily said in surprise.
"Of course, I don't own it." Franklin smiled.
Emily seemed quite excited said happily, "Can I sell it?"
She could get quite a lot of money by selling this car. She could savesome of the money as her and her mother's living expenses, and usedthe rest to buy an ordinary car for herself so that she wouldn't have tohitch a ride with Franklin anymore.
"That's a good idea. I'll replace a buyer for you." Franklin thought it was agood idea to sell the car that Harry sent over.
"No, I'll replace buyers myself." Emily didn't trust him and wanted to sell itat a satisfactory price. She might as well take care of it herself.
"Okay, you can do it." Franklin did not mind it so much and nodded inassent.
The two of them came out of the garage and walked back. Emilyremembered that Franklin lost his temper with Ivy and mentioned thelast time in their talk.
She wanted to know what it was and asked him, "The last time youwere angry with Ivy, you mentioned the last time. What was it about thelast time?"
Franklin paused for a moment and said in a level voice, "Nothing. It wasjust the past and it has nothing to do with you.”
"Oh, I see! But you were so serious and furious. I can't bear to see a girlbeing treated in this way.” Emily commented.
"She has nothing to do with me. Why do I treat her nicely? You are theonly woman I want to cherish, and I do not care about anotherwoman." Franklin snorted.
Emily was touched by what he said. Holding his arm, she said, "Yourwords make me dream you might like me."
Franklin chuckled and rubbed her hair again.
But Emily took selling the car seriously.
The next Saturday, Emily asked Joyce out for dinner.
Emily wanted to thank her for giving her a stay last time and saw whatshe could help with their renovation. By the way, Emily wanted to askher to replace a buyer since Joyce had a lot of social connections.
Emily told Joyce that Harry gave her a BMW, and Joyce immediatelyexclaimed, "Damn, how lucky you are! You're gonna be fucking rich.Spare me some luck please!”
"Stop talking about any luck. Down to business, do you know how tosell this car? I want to sell it." Emily knocked on her hand
Joyce said, "Don't you want a car? Why are you selling it? You can driveyourselfl"
"I don't want to drive such an expensive car, and it's too eye-catching. Ijust want to drive an ordinary car.”
"What a waste! You just cannot live in wealth. I do know someone whowants to buy a car recently. I'll help you contact him. I remind you firstyou cannot get the same price as a new car, though there won't behuge differences.” Joyce said.
Emily nodded, "I know that.”
"Emily, I'm so envious of you. You are going to live a better and betterlife since you met Franklin. You'd better replace a way to make Franklin fallin love with you so that he cannot live without you. Then you do notneed to worry about anything for the rest of your life. I remind you thatyou can't replace another rich and handsome man like Franklin.”
"Make him fall in love with me? Forget it. I can't even see through him."Emily shook her head and sighed.
The longer she had been with Franklin, the harder she felt tounderstand him
He cared about her but it made her confused at the same time. Shedidn't have the confidence to make Franklin fall in love with her. Andshe did not know where his first love was. She did not know what theywere doing now.
Joyce didn't know about Emily's struggles and thought she just lackedconfidence.
She then changed the topic and talked about herself. She said with ablush, "I've been doing well with Sebastian lately. We've been togetherevery day. I think he should know that I like him."
