Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 98

Emily had nowhere to go, so she wanted to call Joyce. But she thoughtshe had troubled Joyce so much that she went to her place every timewhen something happened. But apart from Joyce, she seemed to haveno one else to turn to. After wandering around, she finally camedownstairs to Joyce's apartment.

Unexpectedly, she happened to see that Sebastian sent Joyce back.The two of them said goodbye at the staircase. Joyce looked shy andEmily didn't know what she was saying. Anyway, Sebastian, who wasabout to leave, followed Joyce upstairs.

"Ah." Emily sighed.

The two of them were in a relationship, and they were enjoying a greattime. How could she bother them?

"May I have a room for three days?" Emily found a hotel to check-in.And now she could only consider renting a house after having a hotelroom.

Fortunately, she had just sold her car, and now she got money.Otherwise, she really didn't have money to book the hotel. She wouldprobably have to sleep on the street.

"Yes, here is your room card.” The receptionist at the front desk wentthrough the formalities and handed her the room card with a smile.Emily thanked her and went upstairs to check the room. After a shortrest, she decided to go out and buy some clothes.

When she came out, she didn't bring any other clothes except theclothes she was wearing now. All those clothes were brought for her byFranklin, and she didn't want to take them.

Fortunately, there was a shopping mall near the hotel, so she wentthere to look around and bought some daily necessities.

"Miss Johnson?"

Emily walked to the cosmetics counter and didn't expect to hearsomeone calling her. She quickly turned around and saw Harry comingwith a group of people.

"Mr. Carter, why are you here?" Emily said.

Harry smiled and said, "This mall is my property. I come to inspect ittoday. Why are you here alone?"

"Well, just strolling around by myself." Emily smiled.

She secretly complained to herself that this mall belonged to Harry! Hewas indeed wealthy. She was no match for Ivy at all.

Harry frowned at her expression and immediately took out his phone tomake a call.

Soon after, he smiled at Emily and said, "Miss Johnson, are you freetonight? I want to treat you to a casual meal. I still need ... about 20minutes to finish my work. Miss Johnson, please wait for me.”

"Ah, have a meal? Thanks. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Carter.There's no need for that." Emily immediately refused.

Harry smiled and said, "Miss Johnson, please don't be that polite to me.I happen to have something to discuss with you, and I wish you can sayyes. Lee, take Miss Johnson to replace a place to rest. I'll go over when I'mdone."

Harry called out his secretary and asked her to take Emily to replace aplace to sit down.

Emily could not resist Harry's enthusiasm, and she was almost likedforced by the secretary and left with her. Emily found a coffee shop tosit down and wait for Harry.

Twenty minutes later, as expected, Harry came over with two assistantsand said to Emily with a smile, "Miss Johnson, let's go!"

"Mr. Carter, what do you want from me? Actually, we don't have to takea meal together. You can just tell me.” Emily said as she followed Harry.Harry smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a casual meal. Are you sounwilling to eat with me?"

"Of course not. It's just that right now ... I really don't have muchappetite.”

"Is it because of the quarrel with Franklin?" Harry asked.

Emily said in surprise, "How do you know?"

Harry smiled and said, "I just made a phone call and I knew it. I heard alittle about what happened to you. You run away from home, don'tyou? Where do you live now?"

Emily was embarrassed and didn't want to talk to him about it.However, he was so warm and nice. She couldn't be so indifferent andunapproachable, so she told Harry where she lived.

Harry said, "How can you stay in a hotel? I do have an empty house. Ifyou don't mind, you can stay there for two days."

"There's really no need, Mr. Carter. I'm already troubling you. How can Ikeep bothering you?" Emily said immediately.

Harry said, "You are too welcome. Franklin and I have been friends formany years. I know him. He's just angry now. When he calms down, hewill naturally pick you up. As a friend, how can I let you stay outside in ahotel?"

"It's nice to have a friend like Mr. Carter. I appreciate your kindness. It'sfine to have a meal together. Thank you for inviting me to live in yourhouse. But I'll just stay in the hotel for two days, and then I will go replacea house. Harry ... I'm afraid the relationship between him and me isdone, so Mr. Carter doesn't have to keep me for him."

"Miss Johnson..."

"Mr. Carter, you've always been a man having worldly wisdom, butdon't make me feel that you are too verbose or boring!" Emilyinterrupted him with a smile.

Harry nodded and immediately said, "Okay, I understand. We're justgoing for a meal. I promise I won't ask you again.”

Emily smiled bitterly and followed Harry out.

Harry brought her to a nice private restaurant. People like them were allkeen on eating private home food. It seemed it could reveal theiridentity in this way. Emily said to him jokingly.

But Harry explained solemnly, "It's not to show off my status. It's mainlybecause there are small pots cooking here. It's more considerate of mytaste. And basically there are a few private restaurants to satisfy myown taste.”

"Is this one of your favorite places to come?" asked Emily.

Harry nodded and said, "Yes, I just don't know if you will like it.""Everything is fine for me. I'm not picky." Emily chuckled.

Harry took her into a small private room, which was just for two people.During the meal, the two talked about the renovation. Emily asked,"Isn't your friend here yet?"

"No, I got a call from her the day before yesterday. She said that hertrip was delayed again, and she didn't know when she would be back,”Harry said with a bitter smile.

Emily could tell that Harry was very concerned about his female friend.It was probably the person he liked.

"She would be back sooner or later. Good people are worth our patientwaiting, so Mr. Carter shouldn't be too anxious.” Emily comforted him."Thank you for your comfort. Miss Johnson is such an informed andinteresting person. My sister ... is really incomparable to you. She's beenspoiled by me and I always give her everything she wants since she wasa child. Therefore, she has developed her current character.”

"It seems that you also know what your sister has done!" Emily smiledbitterly. Sure enough, Ivy's act was different from what she thought inmind. She probably had something to do with what happened at theold residence.

As expected, Harry said, "She has liked Franklin since she was veryyoung, and she is very crazy about Franklin. Your marriage to Franklinhas hurt her hard. She's still young. I hope you can forgive her."

"Mr. Carter is such a joker. Do people have to forgive the people whoharm them before for some reason? If that's the case, then there is nojustice or fairness in this world.”

"Miss Johnson, I'm sorry. I asked too much.”

"Mr. Carter, never mind. I can understand your love for your sister. It's ablessing to have a brother like Mr. Carter.”

"Ah, but as a brother, I don't know how to educate her. For example,this incident not only caused the misunderstanding between you andFranklin, but also did harm to Alan."
