Hello, Mr. Brent

Chapter 72

"Emily, do not make trouble out of nothing." Franklin glared at her angrily, never expecting her to say

such a thing.Emily pursed her lips and shouted to the driver, "Stop the car. I want to get off.""Mr. Brent,"

Facing a dilemma, the driver looked at Franklin.Emily yelled, "I told you to stop. If you don't stop, I'll

open the door and get off.""Stop the car," Franklin said coldly.The driver had no choice but to stop the

car.Emily pushed the car door open and got off and slammed it shut as she left.Although a voice in his

head kept telling him to stay calm and sensible and tell him that he should chase this ungrateful and

unreasonable woman back because it had been late. But emotions swayed him from making the

move."Let's go!" Franklin ordered the driver with a heavy voice, with a very sullen expression on his

face.Emily left angrily, cursing as she walked. After she had walked quite a long way, she realized she

didn't know where should she go in the middle of the night."Joyce, are you home? I'm outside now. Can

you take me in for a night?" Emily called Joyce pitifully.Joyce said as she put on the mask, "Of course,

no problem. Do you want me to pick you up? Okay, then you can take a taxi. I'll wait for you."Twenty

minutes later, Joyce's doorbell rang.Joyce ran to open the door and was hugged by Emily the moment

she opened it."Joyce, it's good to have you," Emily said gratefully.Joyce quickly pushed her away and

said, "Come on. You're married. Not as close as before. Why are you here? Where's your rich and

handsome husband?""Don't talk to me about him. I quarreled with him," Emily said angrily.Joyce

quickly asked with a gossipy expression, "Why did you two quarrel? I saw that time he was quite

protective of you and liked you quite a lot.""You don't know anything. In his eyes, I am just his cat's-

paw. He married me to deliberately piss off his mother, and possibly to show those relatives of his on Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

purpose. Otherwise, why did he say I was his assistant but did not introduce me as his wife at the hotel

today?" Emily said in exasperation.After Emily telling Joyce the whole story, Joyce frowned and said,

"He actually only said that you were just his assistant? Did he say that on purpose to that Miss Carter?

Does he have a thing for that Miss Carter?""I don't think so. He firmly denied it," said Emily.Joyce

snorted and said, "Not to mention women, men have the same attitude when it comes to relationships,

they are all in denial. Sometimes the more you deny it, the more you care, and that's something I've

learned over the years.""I still believe him on this point that he doesn't have a crush on Ivy. If he did

have a crush on anyone, it would be that Miss Lewis who hasn't returned to our country. But all in all,

he was just too much for me. I didn't expect him to make a big deal out of introducing me, but it's too

much to be so perfunctory." Emily was getting angrier as she spoke.Joyce quickly comforted her, "Well,

you don't like him either. You two get what you need from each other. Why do you care so much about

how he introduced you? Are you falling in love with him?""I didn't," Emily denied immediately.Joyce's

words somehow made her feel jealous, and Emily had an indescribable feeling inside."Well, just wash

up and sleep! You don't have to go to work tomorrow, but I have to renovate the house. I have an

appointment with Christian. I can't be late," Joyce said immediately.Emily pursed her lips. After all, it

wasn't good to disturb people's rest in their homes, so she had to go wash up and then wear Joyce's

clothes to bed.Joyce was drifting off to sleep when her phone suddenly rang.Emily was also asleep.

After she was woken up by the ringing of her phone, she tapped Joyce and said, "Your phone is

ringing."Joyce closed her eyes and used her hands to find her phone. She finally found the phone after

searching for a while, picked up the phone and said, "Hey, who is it!""Is Emily with you?" The voice on

the phone asked in a clear, cold voice.Joyce said, "Yes."Then the phone over there hung up.Joyce's

mind was muddled. She didn't think much about it, and she threw her phone away.The next day, Joyce

woke up feeling vague that she had received a call last night, but she wasn't sure if she had. She

shook her head and hurried to the bathroom. When she came out, she called out for Emily and ran out

to buy breakfast.Emily was also wearing Joyce's clothes today. Emily sat at the dining table, eating

breakfast and staring at Joyce.Joyce was so frightened by Emily's stare that she finally couldn't stand it

and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm getting goosebumps.""Joyce, tell me if you're in a

relationship," Emily asked.Joyce looked embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Are you a detective? How

can you tell I'm in love?"Emily snorted coldly, "I know you like the back of my hand. You usually go out

to buy breakfast with your hair down and in your pajamas, and when have you ever been so conscious

of your appearance? You even put on make-up to get breakfast today and dressed so formally. You

must have been afraid of meeting someone and that's why you want to dress up for others to see. And

you eat far less quickly than before, no longer gobbling but chewing slowly, which means that's how

you've been eating lately, am I right?""All right, you're a great detective. You're right." Joyce wanted to

deny her words. But she couldn't control herself and smiled coyly.Emily's eyes lit up and she asked

excitedly, "Who is he? Which handsome guy? Do I know him?"Joyce blushed and nodded. When Emily

saw Joyce's expression, she felt that she was indeed right. There was a saying that was right, "You

can't hide a cold or a love affair.""Christian?" Emily suddenly thought of someone and asked in

surprise.Joyce blushed even more and nodded again. If she didn't hold the pancake in her hand, she

would have covered her face with her hands.After thinking about Christian, Emily couldn't help but

smile and say, "Christian is very good. I didn't expect you to be with him, but you will be well

matched.""But he liked you before, will you mind?" Joyce asked quickly."How is that possible? You're

my best friend, and I think he is good enough for you. Let's not talk about the past. Anyone can fall in

love with someone accidentally.""That's true." Joyce giggled again."How did you two start?" Emily

asked, gossiping.Joyce's giggling face fell for a moment and she beamed, "We haven't even started a

relationship yet. I'm secretly in love with him and he doesn't know it yet. I'm thinking about whether to

confess my love to him.""Ah, he doesn't know yet?""Oh, no more talking. Let's go. I have an

appointment with Christian. I can't be late." Joyce quickly dragged Emily out.The two of them ran

downstairs, not expecting a familiar car to be parked downstairs.Joyce didn't know the car, but Emily

knew it very well. Emily could not help but look serious and glared at the back door with

resentment.The driver got out of the car and said to Emily with a smile, "Madam, please get in the

car!"The driver opened the car door, and Franklin sat inside and gave Emily a cold look, but did not

speak anything.
