Hello, Mr. Brent novel Chapter 71

"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'll be right out." Emily stood up awkwardly.

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