Chapter 72
"Emily, do not make trouble out of nothing." Franklin glared at her angrily, never expecting her to say such a thing.Emily pursed her lips and shouted to the driver, "Stop the car. I want to get off.""Mr. Brent," Facing a dilemma, the driver looked at Franklin.Emily yelled, "I told you to stop. If you don't stop, I'll open the door and get off.""Stop the car,” Franklin said coldly.The driver had no choice but to stop the car.Emily pushed the car door open and got off and slammed it shut as she
left. Although a voice in his head kept telling him to stay calm and sensible and tell him that he should chase this ungrateful and unreasonable woman back because it had been late. But emotions swayed him from making the move."Let's go!" Franklin ordered the driver with a heavy voice, with a very sullen expression on his face.Emily left angrily, cursing as she walked. After she had walked quite a long way, she realized she didn’t know where should she go in the middle of the night."Joyce, are you home? I'm outside now. Can you take me in for a night?" Emily called Joyce pitifully.Joyce said as she put on the mask, "Of course, no problem. Do you want me to pick you up? Okay, then you can take a taxi. I'll wait for you." Twenty minutes later, Joyce's doorbell rang.Joyce ran to open the door and was hugged by Emily the moment she opened it."Joyce, it's good to have you," Emily said gratefully.Joyce quickly pushed her away and said, "Come on. You're married. Not as close as before. Why are you here? Where's your rich and handsome husband?""Don't talk to me about him. I quarreled with him," Emily said angrily.Joyce quickly asked with a gossipy expression, "Why did you two quarrel? I saw that time he was quite protective of you and liked you quite a lot.""You don't know anything. In his eyes, I am just his cat's-paw. He married me to deliberately piss off his mother, and possibly to show those relatives of his on purpose. Otherwise, why did he say I was his assistant but did not introduce me as his wife at the hotel today?" Emily said in exasperation.After Emily telling Joyce the whole story, Joyce frowned and said, "He actually only said that you were just his assistant? Did he say that on purpose to that Miss Carter? Does he have a thing for that Miss Carter?""I don't think so. He firmly denied it," said Emily.Joyce snorted and said, "Not to mention women, men have the same attitude when it comes to relationships, they are all in denial. Sometimes the more you deny it, the more you care, and that's something I've learned over the years.""I still believe him on this point that he doesn't have a crush on Ivy. If he did have a crush on anyone, it would be that Miss Lewis who hasn't returned to our country. But all in all, he was just too much for me. I didn't expect him to make a big deal out of introducing me, but it's too much to be so perfunctory.” Emily was getting angrier as she spoke.Joyce quickly comforted her, "Well, you don't like him either. You two get what you need from each other. Why do you care so much about how he introduced you? Are you falling in love with him?""I didn’t,” Emily denied immediately.Joyce's words somehow made her feel jealous, and Emily had an indescribable feeling inside."Well, just wash up and sleep! You don't have to go to work tomorrow, but I have to renovate the house. I have an appointment with Christian. I can't be late,” Joyce said immediately.Emily pursed her lips. After all, it wasn't good to disturb people's rest in their homes, so she had to go wash up and then wear Joyce's clothes to bed.Joyce was drifting off to sleep when her phone suddenly rang.Emily was also asleep. After she was woken up by the ringing of her phone, she tapped Joyce and said, "Your phone is ringing."Joyce closed her eyes and used her hands to find her phone. She finally found the phone after searching for a while, picked up the phone and said, "Hey, who is it!""Is Emily with you?" The voice on the phone asked in a clear, cold voice.Joyce said, "Yes."Then the phone over there hung up.Joyce's mind was muddled. She didn't think much about it, and she threw her phone away.The next day, Joyce woke up feeling vague that she had received a call last night, but she wasn't sure if she had. She shook her head and hurried to the bathroom. When she came out, she called out for Emily and ran out to buy breakfast.Emily was also wearing Joyce's clothes today. Emily sat at the dining table, eating breakfast and staring at Joyce.Joyce was so frightened by Emily's stare that she finally couldn't stand it and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm getting goosebumps.""Joyce, tell me if you're in a relationship,” Emily asked.Joyce looked embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Are you a detective? How can you tell I'm in love?"Emily snorted coldly, "I know you like the back of my hand. You usually go out to buy breakfast with your hair down and in your pajamas, and when have you ever been so conscious of your appearance? You even put on make-up to get breakfast today and dressed so formally. You must have been afraid of meeting someone and that's why you want to dress up for others to see. And you eat far less quickly than before, no longer gobbling but chewing slowly, which means that's how you've been eating lately, am I right?""All right, you're a great detective. You're right.” Joyce wanted to deny her words. But she couldn't control herself and smiled coyly.Emily's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, "Who is he? Which handsome guy? Do I know him?"Joyce blushed and nodded. When Emily saw Joyce's expression, she felt that she was indeed right. There was a saying that was right, "You can't hide a cold or a love affair.""Christian?" Emily suddenly thought of someone and asked in surprise.Joyce blushed even more and nodded again. If she didn't hold the pancake in her hand, she would have covered her face with her hands After thinking about Christian, Emily couldn't help but smile and say, "Christian is very good. I didn't expect you to be with him, but you will be well matched.""But he liked you before, will you mind?" Joyce asked quickly."How is that possible? You're my best friend, and I think he is good enough for you. Let's not talk about the past. Anyone can fall in love with someone accidentally." That's true.” Joyce giggled again."How did you two start?" Emily asked, gossiping.Joyce's giggling face fell for a moment and she beamed, "We haven't even started a relationship yet. I'm secretly in love with him and he doesn't know it yet. I'm thinking about whether to confess my love to him.""Ah, he doesn't know yet?""Oh, no more talking. Let's go. I have an appointment with Christian. I can't be late." Joyce quickly dragged Emily out.The two of them ran downstairs, not expecting a familiar car to be parked downstairs.Joyce didn't know the car, but Emily knew it very well. Emily could not help but look serious and glared at the back door with resentment.The driver got out of the car and said to Emily with a smile, "Madam, please get in the car!"The driver opened the car door, and Franklin sat inside and gave Emily a cold look, but did not speak anything.
