"Jason." Emily greeted Jason.Jason was surprised to see her, "Miss Johnson, why didn't you come with Mr. Brent?"Emily smiled and said, "It's a long story. I'd better not say it. Let me ask you, is Mr. Brent in a good mood today?""No." Jason shook his head.Franklin and his wife worked in the same company, while they went to work separately. In this case, no one would feel good."Is there anything he likes to drink that will make him feel better?" Emily asked quickly.Jason was smart and worldly. He could guess what Emily was up to with a single thought. But he thought that Emily was trying to make up with Mr. Brent and please him.So he smiled and said, "Mr. Brent likes to drink tea, sometimes coffee. But there is one thing that few people know. Mr. Brent likes to drink coffee with more sugar and milk. For this reason, Mr. Brent is very disgusted with drinking it himself, and he always feels that it will damage his wise and powerful image.""Gee, he's just being pretentious. He can just drink whatever he likes. It won't do harm to anything," Emily sneered.Jason said, "Why don't you make a cup of coffee with more milk and sugar and bring it to Mr. Brent personally? Mr. Brent will be happy.""Okay, I go and make it now. Thanks, Jason," Emily said gratefully.Jason smiled and thought that if Mr. Brent could feel better, things would also become easier for them. So in fact, he did this for his own good.Emily personally made a cup of coffee with sugar and milk, walked to Franklin's office and knocked on the door.Franklin didn't know it was her. He asked her to come in without raising his head.It was only when Emily came up to him with the coffee and put it on the table that he realized it. He put down the materials in his hand and looked up at her in surprise."Alas, why are you looking at me in such an odd way? I treat you to coffee with extra milk and sugar. I wonder if you like it or not." Emily smiled.Franklin's eyes deepened and pushed the coffee aside, "I'm afraid there's something else in it.""Something else? What's that?" Emily couldn't react for a moment."Poison!" Franklin said.Emily was speechless.She was so angry that her face turned red, and she said in a helpless voice, "Don't you know how to show gratitude? It's fine if you don't thank me for my kindness to make you a cup of coffee. But you suspect me of adding poison in the coffee. Do you think I'm going to poison you to death? Since you don't believe me, I'll take a sip first."Emily took a sip of the coffee and put it down, "See? If there is any poison, it's me who's going to die. Don't worry.""Maybe you have taken some antidotes before," Franklin said coldly.Emily laughed angrily, "You have read too many martial arts novels. You think there are antidotes? Drink it or not. If you don't like it, just pour it into the trash can.""Tell me! What do you want from me?" Franklin asked lazily.Emily's face froze, and she said reluctantly, "Who wants to beg you? You take yourself as the god of mercy? Anyone will ask you for help?""You didn't even want to take my car this morning, but now you made me coffee on your own initiative, and you made it in the way that I like. You must have asked Jason about it on purpose! If you don't have any purposes, you won't do such a thing. What do you want exactly?""I don't want anything from you. I'm just... just...""What?" Franklin asked indifferently.Emily gritted her teeth, slammed her hands on Franklin's desk and asked with a serious expression, "Actually, I have always felt guilty and grateful for that time. Thank you for saving me and I feel guilty of you. But I only know the truth today. It turns out that you were in the same situation as me that day. You were framed and needed to be rescued. I don't have to thank you at all, because we all take advantage of each other.""Did my cousin go to you?" Franklin narrowed his eyes and asked.Emily immediately said, "It's not him going to me, it's someone else. Anyway, don't change the subject. Is this true?"Franklin's expression turned cold, and he looked at her coldly.Emily felt a little guilty when he looked at her, but she kept gazing at him.Finally, with their eyes wide open, Franklin seemed to be defeated. He sighed and said slowly, "Yes, I was indeed tricked that day, but unlike you. Matthew still didn't dare to give me such a strong drug, just something to turn me on. They always think that I am too cold and indifferent to women, so they suspect that I am asexual. So he added something to the wine to arouse my sexual desires, and then let his cousin in revealing clothing lean on me. I found it out at that time and pushed her away. Then I met you when I left, and I knew what had happened to you as long as I looked at you.""I didn't have to do those things. It was totally fine. I would just take a cold shower at the most." Franklin emphasized again.Emily's mouth twitched, but she said in disbelief, "I don't believe it. Of course, you can say whatever you want now. If it was really that simple, why did you send your nephew to Africa? You must hate him for doing that! In fact, I still don't understand why you take responsibility for me if you're so angry about this. In fact, if you don't want to be responsible for me, it's easy for you to deal with a person like me."Besides, if he said he wouldn't take the responsibility, she wouldn't pester him."Believe it or not, that's what happened. The reason I threw him to Africa for punishment was not because of the drug itself he gave me, but because he dared to give me the drug. Since he dared to do it, he had to bear the consequences," Franklin said coldly.Emily pursed her lips, knowing that Franklin was right.In this matter, Matthew really deserved a lesson.However, thinking of Ryan's plea, she could only sigh and say, "After so long, he must have known he was wrong. I heard he was still sick. Why not let him back?""Who exactly found you?" Franklin asked again.Emily didn't want to betray Ryan, so she refused to tell him again, "I can't tell you.""If you don't tell me, I won't agree to your request," Franklin said.Emily turned her eyes and asked expectantly, "So you will say yes if I tell you?"Franklin smiled and tapped his fingers on the table. "It depends on your performance."Emily curled her lips and thought for a moment, "It was Ryan that came to me. We met at dinner that day, so he begged me. He was so sincere that I didn't bear to refuse him. Of course, I have already said everything I have to say. It's up to you to decide what to do in the end. What else can I do? Of course, I won't do anything to please you for someone who indirectly harmed me. This cup of coffee is the most."
