Hello, Mr. Brent

Chapter 20

"Come in," Franklin said dryly.

The door was pushed open and the waiters came in with a tray on hand. Clearly, they were here to NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

serve the dishes they had ordered.

Afraid that Franklin would be too picky, Emily ordered a lot. That's why six waiters came in a row to set

the table.

"Please enjoy yourselves." The waiters bowed respectfully and closed the door when they went out.

"It looks good, but I wonder how it tastes." Franklin picked up the broccoli with his chopsticks, put it into

his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Emily was still gasping for air with her mind in a mess.

Her eyes involuntarily fixed on Franklin's lips, thinking that he just kissed her...

But why did he kiss her? She couldn't figure it out.

"Why did you kiss me?" Emily asked subconsciously.

She regretted it the next second and peeked at Franklin nervously for fear that he would get angry.

"What do you think?" Franklin asked her rhetorically.

Emily thought to herself, "How would I know? I just couldn't figure it out!"

"Excuse me." Emily immediately stood up and dashed out in panic.

Franklin glanced at the restroom in the VIP room, shook his head speechlessly, and took another bite

leisurely.

He was not in a hurry. Emily was here. She could not run away.

Emily ran outside to the restroom in one breath, turned on the tap, and pounced water on her face.

The cold water helped her cool down slowly. Her mind became clearer and she started thinking about

what had happened.

Why did Franklin kiss her? Why! Her psyche screamed.

He kept saying that he would take responsibility for her, but she never believed he would fall in love

with her just because of their one-night stand. She was not Cinderella who would be favored by the

prince at first sight and walked down the aisle with him.

Could it be..

Her eyes lit up when she remembered something Lucas told him three months ago.

Franklin was about to turn 30, and his marriage became the top priority of the entire Family. But

everyone knew that his heart was all over his childhood sweetheart and had no interest in any other

girls.

But he cannot keep waiting for her and staying single. According to rules in the Brent Family, if the

head of the family was not married or did not have any child before 30, he would be regarded as

disloyal and unfilial to the whole family. Other family members could unite and oust him.

Although Franklin is the only boy for the current generation, his father has several brothers. If his

uncles worked together, Franklin would be in trouble.

Hence, Franklin's mother ordered him to get a girlfriend three months ago. If he could not find a

girlfriend within three months, his mother would never see him again.

At that time, when Lucas told her about this, she laughed and didn't take it seriously, "I'm wondering

which unlucky girl would keep the position for his sweetheart and give it back when she comes back.

But your uncle is wealthy, and money is the all mighty. Many girls would kill for it."

Could it be that Franklin wanted her to be that unlucky girl?

Thinking about it, Emily's face crumpled.

Although she was short of money, she didn't intend to be a substitute. Especially for a man like

Franklin, if he wasn't happy, he might make her life a living hell. Staying far away from such a

dangerous man would be smarter.

"Hey, isn't that Emily?" A sardonic voice came from the door all of a sudden.

"Emily? Where?"

This drew Emily back to reality. She turned around and found Abby and Lily pointing at her.
