"Strictly speaking, she's my eldest sister. Lucas' mother is my third sister, you know! My father has three daughters and a second sister is abroad," Franklin said lightly.
"Oh, I didn't say hello just now!" Emily said regretfully.
"It's okay. We'll meet the day after tomorrow anyway."
"Right, I almost forgot. The day after tomorrow is your The Brents family dinner. I haven't prepared anything yet. What should I prepare?" Emily slapped her head and she almost forgot about this important thing.
"You don't have to prepare anything. I've already asked Lisa to prepare the gowns and stylists for you. You just have to follow me," Franklin said.
Emily nodded.
But then he looked at Franklin curiously and asked, "Why am I not happy to see you? What's wrong? Am I not happy to see your big sister?"
"There's a man next to her who can be her son," Franklin said sarcastically.
Emily didn't react for a moment. It took him a while to understand what he meant. He quickly said, "Maybe, it's really her son's friend. You think too much!"
"Let's not talk about her. Have you eaten yet? Let's go back after eating," Franklin said.
Emily immediately nodded and followed Franklin to his feet.
After returning to the company, Emily said goodbye to Franklin and went back to his office.
After a while, Lisa came to her and gave her a list of information she needed to enter for the tender. Then he told her about the dress, saying that it would be sent home tonight, so that she could try it out tonight, and if it wasn't suitable, she could change it immediately.
"Lisa, you've been with Franklin for so many years. Do you know Franklin's eldest sister?" Emily asked mysteriously.
Lisa frowned and said in surprise, "Why did you ask about her?"
Emily curled her lips and said, "I went out to eat with Franklin this afternoon and met his big sister. Franklin has been in a bad mood ever since I saw her. I'm curious why he did this."
"Only her? Is there anyone else?" Lisa asked.
"There seems to be a young man, but I didn't see it. It was Franklin who said it. He seemed to be disdainful when he said it, as if that man was his elder sister's lover."
"No wonder," Lisa said with a smile.
"What's wrong?" Emily immediately asked with a gossipy face.
Lisa said, "Mr. Brent's father passed away when Mr. Brent was a teenager. After that, Mr. Brent's brother-in-law has been acting as a father for a long time. He is very good to Mr. Brent. Mr. Brent respects him too, but Mr. Brent's older sister is a lecherous woman, especially when it comes to young men. That's why Mr. Brent detests her."
"That's it! Then divorce," Emily said.
Lisa smiled and said, "Marriage in a rich family is not so simple. It involves so many things. And at this age, the children have grown up, how can divorce be said to divorce."
"I didn't expect Franklin to be such a sentimental person," Emily sighed.
