"Is Mr. Brent there?" Emily returned to the office and ran into Jason in the hallway. He grabbed his arm and asked.
Jason froze for a moment when she pulled him. He couldn't help but tremble and immediately broke away from her hand.
Emily frowned and said, "Why are you hiding from me? I was drunk yesterday, not mentally ill. Is Franklin in the office? Is he in a good mood today? Is he busy now?"
Jason smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Johnson. I didn't mean to. But Mr. Brent... Is not in a good mood. If you want to go to him, you'd better not go over now."
"Why?" Asked Emily.
Jason sighed, "It's not about you."
Just as he was speaking, he saw Lisa coming out of the office. When he saw Emily, he was stunned and said, "I was just about to call you. Mr. Brent is looking for you. He asked you to go in and look for him."
"Ah, look for me, what's the matter?" Emily asked quickly.
Lisa shook his head and said, "I don't know. You'll know when you go in."
Emily looked at Jason and said, "Didn't you say he was in a bad mood? Why did you call me if he was in a bad mood?"
Jason smiled dryly and said, "Maybe when I see you, I'll feel better. I'd better hurry in!"
Emily curled his lips, looked at Lisa reluctantly, and walked in step by step.
"I heard from Lisa that you were looking for me. I just came back. What a coincidence." When Emily went in and saw Franklin, he immediately gave a fawning smile.
Franklin threw the pen on the table and looked back at her coldly.
Emily's heart trembled when he looked at her. He could only smile dryly, but he did not dare to ask again.
"Close the door." Franklin pointed to the door behind her.
Emily pursed his lips. If he didn't want to close the door, he just didn't want him to get angry! She knew that Franklin was a little grumpy. He always felt embarrassed to scold her when the door was open.
"If I were you, shut the door now," Franklin said.
Emily had no choice but to turn around and close the door before walking back.
Franklin put one hand on the table and tapped the table with his two fingers from time to time, making a clicking sound.
After a while, he slowly asked, "How's the thing I asked you to do?"
"I went to Mrs Moore's place, but she scolded me when she saw me, and she refused to forgive me even after I apologized. As for your mother's place... She didn't see anyone at all, and she even slapped Ivy." Emily immediately said wrongly.
Franklin frowned and waved, "She hit you? Come here, let me see."
Emily immediately ran over and put his face in front of him to show him.
Ivy's strength was not great, and it should only leave a slight mark now. However, Franklin still showed a pained expression and rubbed his fingers for a long time.
"Does it hurt?" Franklin asked.
Emily looked at the pain in his eyes and quickly shook his head, "No, I slapped her twice. I don't know if she will tell her brother. Mr. Carter loves his sister so much. I wonder if he will trouble me."
