Hello, Mr. Brent

"I wonder who the lady is?" Someone asked

Just as Emily was about to answer, Franklin said first, "She's my assistant.”

Emily was speechless.

She pursed her lips and looked at him sadly. Why was he so afraid to admit that she was his wife?

“Franklin.” Ivy ran over and took Franklin's arm and smiled

"Hello, Mr. Carter.” Everyone else greeted Harry.

The young and talented all set their eyes on Ivy. No one disliked beautiful women, not to mention such a beautiful woman with strong and rich family background.

Emily was quickly left behind. No matter how close Franklin was to her, she was just an assistant and not worth everyone's attention. Ivy was different. She was Harry's favorite little sister, and she was so beautiful. Besides, she was so close to Franklin that she might become "Mrs. Brent".

Seeing that Franklin was surrounded by the crowd and could only be seen vaguely, Emily could not help but slightly pout. Suddenly, she felt that Franklin was a person far away from her, both physically and spiritually.

"I don't expect you to be Franklin's assistant.” Andrew approached her and said in a low voice.

Emily was stunned. Seeing Andrew leaning over, she avoided him subconsciously and said angrily, "You still dare to see me? Aren't you afraid of me calling the police?”

Andrew sneered, "Call the police? Then accuse me of raping? It was your father who sent you to me. Besides, I didn't do anything to you." Emily gritted her teeth, and her face turned red with anger.

Andrew was right. It was Anthony who sent her to him. And, indeed he did nothing to her. It was useless for her to call the police.

But she really didn't want to see this man. He would remind her of the humiliation that night.

"I'm curious about what happened after you ran away that day. Who helped you?" Andrew added.

"It's none of your business.”

"Was it Franklin?” Andrew guessed, but his tone was firm.

Emily frowned.

Andrew continued, "You hurt me that day. I thought I was hurt badly by you. Luckily, I was fine. Otherwise, I would have haunted you all over the city. But that your being together with Franklin was out of my expectation. I heard that he's an ascetic. You were charming that day, but did he really have sex with you?"

"You bastard.” Emily was so angry that her face totally turned red, and she couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

If it were on a common occasion, she would have punched Andrew. Andrew chuckled and his eyes shone.

Emily was so frightened by his gaze that she quickly went to the other side to avoid far away from him.

After the greetings, everyone sat down to eat. Emily wanted to sit next to Franklin. But he already had Ivy by his side. The other side was empty, but it was next to Andrew, so Emily had no choice and sat next to Harry.

She didn't know anyone else except Harry.

"Why is this assistant still here?" Someone asked in surprise.

Emily was stunned and looked around in surprise. Only then did she realize that all the assistant secretaries that the bosses had brought with them had gone out, and she was the only one sitting here.

"I'l be right out." Emily stood up awkwardly.

Harry held her hand and smiled, "It's Ok. Let's eat together!"

He said to the man who had just questioned her, "It is my friend, and also a little sister of mine. Is Boss Ho unhappy for her?”

"Oh, how could I? It turns out that it's not only Mr. Brent's assistant but also Boss Zhong's little sister. I'll make a cup of wine as a penance for my being disrespectful and offensive.”

Emily smirked but gave Franklin a resentful look.

How mean he was! He had behaved so well before as if he had treated her very well. She didn't expect him to be so heartless and ungrateful that he would leave her alone at such an occasion.

Fortunately, Harry was nice. He chatted with her and helped her with the food. This meal was not too awkward.

"What happened to you and Franklin?" Harry asked in a low voice while filling her bowl.

Emily snorted, "I don't know. We were fine before.”

But when they came here, he treated her like a stranger.

"We all heard that Franklin didn't introduce you. Perhaps, he didn't want to be misunderstood!" Harry said.

Emily looked at him, and Harry smiled again, "Have some more."

Emily pursed her lips, not knowing what to eat.

Finally, the dinner was over, and everyone left with compliments. It seemed that Franklin also disliked this kind of occasion, so he took Emily out first.

Before they left, Andrew wanted to shake Emily's hand.

In front of so many people, Emily could not refuse, so she had to endure the nausea and shake hands with him.

She didn't expect that he would be so shameless that he scratched her palm and smiled ambiguously.

"Bastard! Asshole!" Emily cursed in her heart.

After getting in the car, she was still angry and could not calm down at all.

Franklin looked at her in surprise, reached out his hand and touched her cheek, "What happened? You look so angry. Who irritates you?" Emily thought of Franklin's perfunctory response to her just now, and she awkwardly avoided, and said, "None of your business.”

"Weren't you afraid to introduce me to others as your wife? What was that mean of 'your assistant’? Stop harassing me!" She thought. "What's wrong with you? You were not sitting next to me. Was Harry's service so great?" Franklin asked unhappily.

He was very angry about the meal. He didn't expect that she would choose to sit next to Harry instead of sitting next to him.

Besides, she and Harry had a great time talking during the meal. She kept whispering and did not take him seriously.

"How could you complain about me? Didn't you have a good chat with Ivy?" Emily retorted angrily.

Franklin snorted coldly, "When did you see that I was having a good chat with her? I have been paying attention to you. There was no time to talk to anyone else.”

Emily's heart trembled a little when she heard this, and a strange feeling arose in her mind.

However, thinking that he refused to introduce her, she still felt wronged and snorted coldly, "I am just an assistant to you. What do you mean by paying attention to me all the time?"

Franklin was in a daze.

"You are really unreasonable.” Franklin was furious. It was the first time he had seen Emily so unreasonable.

Emily's eyes were filled with tears. It was him who had overdone, but now he said she was the unreasonable one.

"Yes, I am unreasonable. Miss Carter is more sensible and cute than me. If you regret it now, it will not be too late. Anyway, I am not pregnant, and divorce is not a matter. I think that Miss Carter would love to marry you."
