Chapter 81
While Emily was working, Jason came over and knocked on the door, "Miss Johnson, Mr. Brent is looking for you.”
"Ah, what's the matter?” Emily asked in surprise.
Jason smiled and said, "How would I know? Why don't you go over and take a look?"
It was embarrassing for him to be the connector of two love birds. "Okay, right away." Emily quickly typed in the last paragraph and snapped shut the computer.
She knocked on the door and went in, but she didn't expect that Franklin was angry. He held his cell phone and said angrily, "You told her to come right away, Harry. Last time I pretended nothing had happened because we're best friends for years. But that's not a reason for her to make mistakes again. If she doesn't apologize in person, don't blame me for being rude.”
With that, he slammed his phone on the table.
Emily was shocked. It was the first time she had seen Franklin lose his temper.
"What's wrong?" Emily asked timidly.
Franklin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but the expression on his face was still sullen. He said in a bad tone to Emily, "Why didn't you tell me about what had happened yesterday?"
"Ah? What happened yesterday?" Emily said in surprise
"What else?" Franklin was so angry that he patted the folder on the table and said, "Yesterday, Ivy deliberately pranked you and asked you to do Truth or Dare and confess to another man. Don't you think it is a big deal? Or do you think that you are a born bitch that you don't take this as a big deal?"
"How did you know about it?" asked Emily.
Franklin snorted coldly, "Of course I have a way of knowing. Why? Do you not want me to know?"
Emily was not in a good mood either. She was already in a bad mood because she had been pranked yesterday, and she was scolded by him like that today.
Taking a deep breath, she said slowly, "It's not that I didn't want to tell you about what happened yesterday. I mean, how should I tell you? Should I tell you that I always lose when I play games with your relatives? Or should I say something bad about Miss Carter? In fact, they didn't go too far. I just lost the game, and I've played it before. It's not a big deal. Why are you so angry?"
"Emily, are you an idiot? Can't you see that you framed by Ivy?" Franklin said with anger.
After thinking about it, Emily said, "It's true that she doesn't like me very much. After all, she likes you and I am your wife. But she's a simple innocent young girl. Even if she doesn't like me, she won't do it on purpose.”
"Innocent?" Franklin sneered, "Emily, it's you who are being cheated, but now you are defending the cheater?”
"What do you mean?” Emily frowned.
Franklin frowned but did not continue.
Emily saw that he didn't speak and asked, "You called me here for this?" "You wait here for a while. I've asked Ivy to come over,” Franklin said. Emily was surprised, "Why did you call her over?"
"To apologize to you, of course.” Franklin gritted his teeth and looked at her. Did she understand his kindness?
"There's no need! It's not a big deal. But you called the girl over to apologize to me? Isn't that going too far?" Emily said.
But she was still very touched that Franklin had called Ivy to apologize for her. But she felt that Franklin was making too much of a fuss. It was not a big deal after all.
She didn't expect her words to annoy Franklin again. He stood up and walked up to her, pinching her chin and kissing her.
Emily stared at him in disbelief. His kiss was rather rough.
"Can't you say something nice to make me happy? Your mouth always makes me annoyed." Franklin released her and rubbed her lips with his thumb.
Emily blushed and retorted, "Why do you kiss me if you don't like my mouth.”
He kissed and even squeezed her mouth. Did he think her mouth was a sausage?!
"Knock, knock, knock."
Franklin let go of her and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
The door was opened and Ivy came in, followed by Harry.
Emily quickly turned her back to them and wiped her lips. There was still Franklin's saliva on her lips, so she could not let others see.
As soon as Ivy came in, she began to cry. Her eyes were red and pitiful as she looked at Franklin. Before she could open her mouth, tears kept falling like broken beads.
Even Emily couldn't bear to see it, but Franklin said with a serious face, "I will forget about what happened last time. But if I indulge you again this time, I don't think you won't do that again. Apologize to Emily immediately and promise never to do it again.”
"Franklin." Ivy cried even more violently.
Franklin steeled himself and turned his head away from her. Ivy cried even more.
However, Ivy had no choice but to go to Emily and said to Emily, weeping, "Emily, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I won't dare to do it again.” Emily was embarrassed and awkwardly said, "It's okay, it's okay. I don't care. He's making a big deal out of it."
Harry sighed and said to Emily, "Miss Johnson, I'm really sorry that I didn't discipline my sister. Yesterday's incident made you aggrieved. Just tell me what compensation do you want? I should compensate you."
Emily panicked even more. She immediately waved her hands and said, "Mr. Carter, there's no need. It really doesn't matter. I don't need any compensation. You keep saying something like this and make me very ashamed.”
"Well, I heard that it was Alan who sent you back yesterday. You don't have a car yet? Let me buy you a car! What style do you like?"
"Ah? Buy me a car?" Emily exclaimed in surprise, feeling panicky, "No, no, really. There's no need to buy me a car.”
"That's what I should do. Since you don't tell me, I'll take the liberty of choosing one for you! I'll send it to your home as soon as possible,” Harry added.
Emily panicked and looked at Franklin for help, hoping that he could say something
But Franklin didn't say a word. It was as if he had agreed.
Emily's lips twitched and she was completely speechless.
After Harry left with the crying Ivy, she rushed to Franklin and said, "Why didn't you refuse? Mr. Carter said he was to buy me a car. How can I accept his car?"
"Of course you can't take his car. Even if you would like to have a car, you should drive the car that I buy you,” Franklin said.
"Then why don't you say no for me?"
"Why should I say no? It's a good thing to have someone give you a car. You can keep it if you don't drive it. Or you can give it to someone. Who would refuse a gift?" Franklin replied confidently.
Emily's lips twitched and she looked at him in surprise, as if it was the first day that she had known him.
