Emily had nowhere to go, so she wanted to call Joyce. But she thought she had troubled Joyce so much that she went to her place every time when something happened. But apart from Joyce, she seemed to have no one else to turn to. After wandering around, she finally came downstairs to Joyce's apartment.
Unexpectedly, she happened to see that Sebastian sent Joyce back.
The two of them said goodbye at the staircase. Joyce looked shy and Emily didn't know what she was saying. Anyway, Sebastian, who was about to leave, followed Joyce upstairs.
"Ah." Emily sighed.
The two of them were in a relationship, and they were enjoying a great time. How could she bother them?
"May I have a room for three days?" Emily found a hotel to check-in. And now she could only consider renting a house after having a hotel room.
Fortunately, she had just sold her car, and now she got money. Otherwise, she really didn't have money to book the hotel. She would probably have to sleep on the street.
"Yes, here is your room card." The receptionist at the front desk went through the formalities and handed her the room card with a smile.
Emily thanked her and went upstairs to check the room. After a short rest, she decided to go out and buy some clothes.
When she came out, she didn't bring any other clothes except the clothes she was wearing now. All those clothes were brought for her by Franklin, and she didn't want to take them.
Fortunately, there was a shopping mall near the hotel, so she went there to look around and bought some daily necessities.
"Miss Johnson?"
Emily walked to the cosmetics counter and didn't expect to hear someone calling her. She quickly turned around and saw Harry coming with a group of people.
"Mr. Carter, why are you here?" Emily said.
Harry smiled and said, "This mall is my property. I come to inspect it today. Why are you here alone?"
"Well, just strolling around by myself." Emily smiled.
She secretly complained to herself that this mall belonged to Harry! He was indeed wealthy. She was no match for Ivy at all.
Harry frowned at her expression and immediately took out his phone to make a call.
Soon after, he smiled at Emily and said, "Miss Johnson, are you free tonight? I want to treat you to a casual meal. I still need ... about 20 minutes to finish my work. Miss Johnson, please wait for me."
"Ah, have a meal? Thanks. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Carter. There's no need for that." Emily immediately refused.
Harry smiled and said, "Miss Johnson, please don't be that polite to me. I happen to have something to discuss with you, and I wish you can say yes. Lee, take Miss Johnson to find a place to rest. I'll go over when I'm done."
Harry called out his secretary and asked her to take Emily to find a place to sit down.
Emily could not resist Harry's enthusiasm, and she was almost liked forced by the secretary and left with her. Emily found a coffee shop to sit down and wait for Harry.
Twenty minutes later, as expected, Harry came over with two assistants and said to Emily with a smile, "Miss Johnson, let's go!"
"Mr. Carter, what do you want from me? Actually, we don't have to take a meal together. You can just tell me." Emily said as she followed Harry.
Harry smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a casual meal. Are you so unwilling to eat with me?"
"Of course not. It's just that right now ... I really don't have much appetite."
"Is it because of the quarrel with Franklin?" Harry asked.
