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.
