Hello, Mr. Brent -
Chapter 86
"Okay, I'll let her attend. Tomorrow I'll send her to you. Please teach herwhat to do,” Franklin said slowly.
Emily looked at him in shock, "Why did you agree with her?"
She thought that Franklin would oppose the suggestion. After all, Mrs.Brent's attitude towards her was very clear. If she went there, thatwould be like asking the fox to spare the chicken.
But her objections were ignored by everyone.
Mrs. Brent moved her lips slightly and finally smiled with satisfaction,"You haven't forgotten your identity and responsibility. Since you'veagreed, let her come to me tomorrow!"
With that, Mrs. Brent stood up and left with Ivy.
"Why did you agree?" As soon as Mrs. Brent left, Emily rushed toFranklin and questioned him.
Franklin pinched her cheek and said, "Why, are you still afraid of her? Ithink you're quite audacious. There is no woman who has ever been soarrogant to my mother.”
"Am I arrogant? You think too highly of me. But I'm really afraid of yourmother. Why did you agree? I know nothing about managing thehousehold. I am afraid that your mother probably doesn't really want toteach me! It's possible for her to play tricks on me." Emily yelled
"She's my mother, and that's a fact that can't be changed. Sooner orlater, you'll be faced with her, and I think she's right. If you don't learnabout household affairs, you'll never understand how to do it. You'remy wife, the mistress of the Brents. In the future, you will have to beresponsible for all the affairs in the Brents. If you don't learn now, willyou let her take charge of them instead of you forever?"
"Who has told you that I want to spend the rest of my life with you?"Emily said in a strained voice.
Franklin looked sullen, "Otherwise, do you have other ideas?"
Emily thought that she didn't have any other ideas, it was he who hadsome thoughts!
"If there is something wrong with our marriage, all of my efforts will bein vain," Emily muttered.
Franklin said, "Rest assured, your efforts will count. If somethinghappens, I'll hire you to be my housekeeper. It may not be easy forsomeone like you to replace a job when you leave me. If you learn theskills well, they will be very useful.
Emily, .."
Emily curved her lips and looked at him speechlessly. So, this was whathe had been thinking about!
It was surprising that he had considered to hire her as a housekeeper ifthey got divorced. Did he ask her to learn such skills to protect MissLewis?
That's right, it was unnecessary for Miss Lewis to know about thesethings. It would be good if someone had learned about them instead ofher. Franklin really cared much about his beloved.
"That's it. You don't have to go to work tomorrow. I'll let the driver takeyou to the house. You'll learn from my mother. Of course, if shedeliberately makes difficulties or teases you, you can fight back. Don'tforget that I'm your support.” Franklin was obviously not used to sayingthings like that. He coughed softly with a blush on his face when itcame to the last sentence.
Unfortunately, Emily didn't feel the concern in his words. All she couldthink about was that Franklin was caring about his beloved. She staredat him with great anger, but she was sad and could do nothing else.Joyce called her, saying that she had contacted the buyer and askedEmily to meet him.
Emily dressed herself up sadly and left the house. When Emily met upwith Joyce, Joyce hugged Emily and asked, "I have finished the task yougave me. It is up to you to clinch the deal later. What about mine? Haveyou finished writing the love letter?”
"What, didn't Sebastian look for you?" Emily was surprised.
Emily thought Sebastian would call Joyce if he couldn't get through toEmily's phone after hearing the news.
Joyce said with a blank face, "Why did he look for me? Have youalready told him about it?"
"Absolutely not.” Emily quickly denied it when she saw that Joyce wasnervous.
If Joyce knew that Franklin had called Sebastian, she would probablywant to strangle Emily to death.
As expected, Joyce patted herself and said, "You almost scared me todeath. I have thought you have told him. Just write a love letter for meand I'll tell him myself."
"Joyce, why don't we put aside writing the love letter? Who still writeslove letters nowadays? It's really old-fashioned. We should makeanother plan.” Emily said sincerely.
Joyce thought about it and said, "Yeah, okay, I'll do it myself! After all, Iam the one who is going to tell him about my feelings, so it is better forme to think about it by myself. Let's go and see the buyer. You can talkdetails about the price
"Well, Joyce, thank you," Emily said gratefully.
She would replace a chance to have a secret talk with Sebastian later! Shewould figure out what he was thinking, as long as she didn't giveherself away.
Joyce brought Emily over. The man who wanted to buy the car was aman in his thirties. He was very satisfied with Emily's car.
Emily said about the price and allowed him to bargain.
But she didn't expect that this man said, "There is no problem with theprice. As long as I like it, the price is okay. But to tell you the truth, it isnot me but my friend who actually wants to buy the car, I just help himcheck it in advance.”
"Ah, not you? Then why have you told my friend that you wanted tobuy a car?" Joyce was anxious and shouted at him
The man said with a mocking smile, "I'm also doing a favour forsomeone. In fact, it was not wrong to say that I wanted to buy the car.Basically, if I like it, my friend won't object. I just want to show the car tohim again and make the decision.”
"Emily, do you think he is reliable?" Joyce pulled her aside and askedsecretly.
Emily thought for a moment and said, "He's quite sincere. He should bereliable! He just wants to drive over to his friend. He can do nothing inbroad daylight.”
"Well, I'll go with you," Joyce said.
Emily nodded and said that they would go with him.
But the man shook his head and said, "My friend is introverted anddoesn't like to meet strangers. That's why he has asked me to buy thecar. You can go with me without taking your friend. Don't worry, yourfriend has got my ID card. I am a good guy.”
"Emily, I think it's better to stop the deal!" Joyce said.
After thinking for a while, Emily still wanted to sell the car as soon aspossible, so she said to Joyce, "Don't worry. We also treat guests aloneas sales girls. I am familiar with these things. I know what I'm doing.”"Then be careful," Joyce cautioned.
Emily nodded and got the man in the car, who then told her thelocation. Emily made a route and took him there.
Then they arrived at the community he was talking about. It was indeedquite upscale.
The man asked Emily to park her car at the entrance of a restaurant.After getting off the car, he told her that his friend was in therestaurant. It was time for lunch, so he suggested having a mealtogether.
"You are so kind. How can you invite me to lunch since I am the onewho is going to sell you the car? It's inappropriate.” Emily immediatelyrefused.
The man said with a smile, "It's just a casual meal. It happens to be timefor us to have lunch. It's convenient to talk about the deal while eating.”He was so enthusiastic that Emily couldn't refuse, so she nodded andfollowed him in.
It was an upscale restaurant. The man brought her directly into aprivate dining room.
But when she walked into the room, she found out who was here.
