Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 9
Grabbed by Iris, Emily staggered and almost fell, but fortunately, Lucas caught her. He asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Iris's face darkened and she glared at Lucas sullenly. She pushed Emily hard towards Franklin secretly, hoping to see her pratfall.
Everybody knows that Franklin is a control freak, merciless and obsessive about cleanliness. He hates physical contact with others, especially with girls.
Unexpectedly, Franklin held Emily up and said with a half-smile, "Hello, Emily!"
Emily's face turned pale and she didn't even dare to look at him. She quickly broke away from his arms.
Iris frowned. "It is said that Mr. Brent has never shown interest in women, but why was he willing to help Emily? Does he like her?" She thought to herself.
Iris laughed out in her mind and believed that she must be thinking too much. How could it be? It was just impossible for someone like Mr. Brent to fall for an ordinary woman like Emily. That is just the manners and deeds of a gentleman.
Lucas said unhappily, "Iris, you shouldn't have mentioned it."
Emily kept her head down and looked down at her fingers. Others must think she was shameful! But only she knew that it was due to fear.
Because the man with whom she slept was right in front of her, and she lied to him last time.
"I see," Franklin said calmly.
His eyes swept over Emily coldly. Though Emily kept her head down, she could still feel his gaze.
"Uncle, my mother is there. Would you like to go say hi to her?" Lucas said.
"Uncle?" Emily looked up in surprise and looked at Lucas in disbelief.
Franklin smiled and reached out his hand, "Miss Johnson, let me introduce myself! I'm Franklin Brent, Lucas's uncle, the youngest one. Nice to meet you."
Emily's face turned even paler, and her head was going bang. She stared at Franklin's outstretched hand and quickly ran away as soon as she gathered her senses again.
She ran so fast as if she with running with sneakers instead of the seven-centimeter heels. She ran like there was a ghost coming after her.
"She is becoming more and more impolite. Uncle, don't worry. She is that kind of person." Iris snorted and quickly apologized to Franklin with a smile.
