Hello, Mr. Brent

Chapter 157

"I'm sorry I'm late for treating you to dinner. I really should punish you." As soon as Harry came in, he

smiled and apologized.

Sebastian said, "You're welcome, Mr. Carter. You're a busy man. Unlike us, it's understandable that

time is tight."

"But no matter how busy you are, you still have to be punctual, Mr. Carter," she said with a smile.

Sebastian was embarrassed, and Emily's tone was rather unkind. He quickly went to see Harry, afraid

that he would be angry about it.

Unexpectedly, Harry smiled and said with a good temper, "Miss Johnson is right. It's my fault for being

late. I'll punish myself first. You can do whatever you want."

With that, Harry picked up his glass and drank it.

While Harry was drinking, Joyce approached Emily and asked, "Emily, what's wrong? Why did I hear

you speak so rudely to Mr. Carter? Did he offend you?"

Emily rolled her eyes and said, "He didn't offend me, but he betrayed Franklin."

Sneaking around with Andrew and Alan, taking on a project that was part of a plan, not betraying

Franklin.

Thanks to their best friends, Franklin trusted him so much that he didn't expect him to play the same

trick behind his back.

Originally, she shouldn't have come to the celebration party today, and she didn't help much, but the

reason she came was to see if Harry had the face to see her.

Joyce shrugged in confusion, but did not ask much. After all, Harry was still here.

The waiter served quickly, and it was indeed very sumptuous.

Harry thanked him again and said that his friend would be here soon.

Joyce thought that the decoration style was softer and more suitable for women to live in, so he smiled

and asked, "Mr. Carter, is this your sweetheart?"

Harry chuckled and said, "It's unrequited love."

Sebastian immediately said, "Mr. Carter is so attentive. I believe it won't be a single love soon."

Harry sighed and said, "I can't hope for that. As long as she accepts my kindness, I will be satisfied."

What Harry said was extremely pitiful. It was a pity that a person like him who wanted to have looks

and wealth could say such a thing.

Joyce leaned over to Emily and whispered, "I don't know what kind of immortal Mr. Carter likes. Even

Mr. Carter doesn't like it. Who else can he like?"

Emily shrugged, indicating that he did not know. However, a strange feeling arose in his heart. He had

some vague guesses, but he did not dare to think deeply.

After dinner, Joyce and Sebastian left. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Sebastian had a little too much to drink, so Joyce had to drive him back.

Then he said to Emily, "Emily, what are you going to do? Your Mr. Brent is not here. Do you want

someone to pick you up?"

Harry immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll send her back."

Emily also drank two glasses, so he didn't dare to drive back, so he could only take a taxi or get

someone to give him a ride.

When Joyce heard Harry send her away, he put down his heart and helped Sebastian leave.

Harry said to Emily, "Get in the car! I'll see you off."

Emily nodded and sat in from behind. Harry also quickly sat in.

The driver started the car and sent Harry home at the address he told her to go to.

Emily looked at Harry's slightly red cheeks and pursed his lips, "Are you okay? If the driver didn't take

you home to sober you up, I didn't drink much, but you drank a lot."

Harry smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine. This wine is nothing to me. It's okay. I'll send you back first!"

"Thank you," Emily said.

Harry added, "You seem to have a problem with me. Today, you talk sarcastically from time to time. Is it

because you planned it together?"

Emily blushed and said awkwardly, "I just think Franklin thinks of you as a friend, but you..."

Harry said, "It's normal for business to be unpredictable, for you to die and for me to be angry. As the

president of the company, I naturally have to work for the benefit of my own company. Originally, I

thought that Andrew and The Brent Group, and my company were the ultimate winners, but I didn't

expect Alan's company to emerge from the sky and be aggressive. But I didn't betray Franklin. He was

the one who gave up this opportunity and made me persevere. Everything was under Franklin's

control, and I just missed it."

"I see! I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Emily apologized.

Harry smiled and said, "You don't have to apologize to me. The reason I explained it to you is because

I feel like I'm on good terms with you and a good friend. I don't want to lose you as a friend. Franklin is

always more powerful than you think. His temporary setback may be a long-term plan. You see, he's

not doing very well right now. If he successfully signed a country project, the project in Lancaster is not

worth mentioning to him. The most important thing is... Forget it, let's not talk about it."

"Why not? What do you want to say?" Emily asked curiously as he stopped talking.

Harry shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Emily frowned. He always felt that Harry was a little sad today. Even a smile could not hide the

loneliness in his eyes.

"Mr. Carter, is the person you like... Avery?" Emily asked.

Harry was stunned and smiled bitterly, "How did you know that Franklin told you?"

Of course not. He never talked about the three of you, especially about Avery. I was just guessing. I

saw pictures of the three of you in Franklin's study. Since the three of you know each other and you

love each other so much, I guessed and asked. I didn't expect that to happen."

Harry smiled bitterly and nodded slightly, "Yes, the three of us have known each other since we were

young. We grew up together like childhood sweethearts. But the relationship is a little complicated. In

this relationship, I am just a third party and an unnecessary person. Avery has always loved Franklin

and has never changed."

"Then why did they break up?" Emily asked eagerly.

Harry shook his head, "I don't know the details. It was always Avery who left Lancaster and went to

England. This trip lasted three years."

"England? You said Avery is in England?" Emily exclaimed.

Harry smiled and said, "Are you afraid that she and Franklin are connected? You can rest assured that

they have always been in contact. We will meet each other every year. Franklin will not see her when

he goes to England, but since Franklin is married to you, he will not have anything else to do with her."

Emily frowned, feeling very upset.

Franklin had never told her that Avery was in England. This was the second time he had been there,

and he had never told her to meet Avery.

"Didn't Franklin tell you?" Harry looked at Emily's expression and asked doubtfully.

Emily grunted.

Harry thought for a while and said, "Maybe he didn't tell you because he was afraid you might

misunderstand."
