Franklin frowned slightly and leaned back in his chair. He looked at her indifferently and said, "I
remember this should be the project department. Lisa is in charge, not me, the president."
Emily was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, you've overstepped and are asking me to do something that I shouldn't be responsible for. If
the company fails to bid, it can only be said that Lisa is not fully prepared, not that I should be involved.
But now you're asking me to use my time to help Lisa. Is she the president of the company, or am I the
president, or are you the company's top boss?"
"Franklin, when is this going to happen? You're still worrying about this. I've heard that if this bid fails
again, you really won't be able to talk to the board," Emily said anxiously.
"It's my business to explain to the company, so you don't have to worry about it. As a subordinate, you
have no right to question me. If you go out now, you might as well think of something with Lisa when
you have time, instead of coming to me." Franklin said with a grim face and pointed at the door.
Emily looked at him in shock and said after a while, "Do you have to be so unreasonable when it
comes to Avery?"
"Emily, if you want to continue working at the company, talk to Lisa. If not, I don't mind keeping you at
home."
"I mind. I'll find a way. I won't beg you if I don't." Emily left angrily.
Lisa looked at Emily coming in angrily, raised his eyebrows and said, "What, did you get a noseful of
dust?"
Emily asked angrily, "You knew he would refuse?"
"I told you before, because she's Michelle, Mr. Brent won't look for her. And even if she's not Michelle,
Mr. Brent won't look for her," Lisa shrugged.
"Why?" Emily didn't understand.
Lisa said, "Because he's the president! These things are our duty. If he helps us, what's the use of us?"
"But... But it doesn't matter..."
"Everyone has their own position. It is their responsibility and position to perform their duties. It will be
very sad if they change their position easily. If Mr. Brent helps us meet Michelle this time and talk about
this, then to us, it will be a good thing to win the big prize. People are greedy. The first time they win a
prize, they can't help but think about the second time. But Mr. Brent wants capable employees, not two
waste products."
"But... It's not an accident," Emily muttered.
Lisa said, "It may be an accident for us, but for Mr. Brent, it is a bad habit that can't be indulged. You
have to understand his difficulties. He doesn't help us, but he wants us to grow up on our own. Instead
of complaining here, you should think about what to do to make leaf sing to our company."
"But she said last time that she wouldn't meet any of us unless Franklin talked to her," Emily said.
"Didn't she say she wasn't going to see you, but you still saw her? There must be a chance. It depends
on what we do. There will always be a chance to see her," Lisa said.
Emily sighed. There was a shortcut, so why did he have to go around it?
But Lisa said that, and she couldn't say anything. After all, Lisa was in charge, and she was just a
subordinate.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
"Tell him I'm going home by myself today. After work, I made an appointment with a friend for tea. Let
him go home first!" After work, Jason came to ask Emily to get off work. Emily thought of Franklin's
attitude and said to Jason rudely.
Jason looked at Lisa with a troubled expression.
Lisa shrugged his shoulders, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
Jason sighed and told Franklin that Emily had an appointment after work.
"Is she throwing a tantrum at me?" Franklin raised his eyebrows.
Jason smiled and said, "It looks like it, but Miss Johnson's temper is coming and going quickly. It
should be over soon."
"I said that for her own good. Why doesn't she understand?" Franklin sighed.
Jason smiled but did not say a word. It was hard to guess a woman's mind, and he did not understand
a creature like a woman very well.
"Since she won't come home with us, let's go to the old house! I heard that he's been making a lot of
noise recently, so I think she heard about it," Franklin snorted coldly.
Jason nodded and turned around to drive to The Brents' Residence.
Emily stirred the coffee, and Joyce sat across from her eating a snack, "What's wrong with you? Didn't
you want to talk to me about something? Why didn't you say anything?"
"I don't know what to say," Emily sighed.
Joyce said nonchalantly, "Just say what you want to say."
"You don't know how much pain I'm in right now. I don't know what Franklin is thinking. I don't know if
he has me in his heart. This feeling... Is too painful. I want to go crazy and get angry at him, but I'm
afraid I'll scare him away. I don't even have a chance to get along with him now." Emily sighed bitterly.
Joyce said gloomily, "Who says I don't understand? I've been through this kind of relationship now,
haven't I? You know how much I like Sebastian, but you're the one he likes. I don't even have the right
to get angry and question him. On the one hand, I'm afraid of affecting our friendship. On the other
hand, I'm afraid of scaring him away. I feel deeper than you do."
"Joyce, I'm sorry." Emily quickly took her hand.
Joyce said, "Okay, don't apologize to me. It's not your fault. It's not you who made him like you. It's my
own business. It's not about anyone else."
"So god retaliated and let me meet Franklin."
"You can't say that, a man like Franklin..." Joyce thought for a moment and said, "Family background,
appearance, and ability are all outstanding. This kind of person can only be seen from afar and not be
desecrated. You are much luckier than others, at least now the person beside him is you."
"Your consolation doesn't make me happy at all, okay? I don't understand what he's thinking, and I
don't know what to do." Emily told Joyce about the bidding and sighed again.
Joyce said, "That's not easy. Why don't you go find that Michelle again?"
"But she only saw Franklin, not me."
"Just tell her that you are Franklin's wife and she will definitely meet you. You and Franklin are married
without a wedding. Besides the Brents and our friends, there is very little outside knowledge about this.
She probably doesn't know either. If I knew you were Franklin's wife and not a small employee, I think
she would be very interested in meeting you," Joyce said.
Emily's eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Why didn't I think of that, Joyce? You're too smart. I'll go
right away."
