Chapter 98
Emily had nowhere to go, so she wanted to call Joyce. But she thought she had troubled Joyce so
much that she went to her ce every time when something happened. But apart from Joyce, she
seemed to have no one else to turn to. After wandering around, she finally came downstairs to Joyce''s
apartment.
Unexpectedly, she happened to see that Sebastian sent Joyce back.
The two of them said goodbye at the staircase. Joyce looked shy and Emily didn''t know what she was
saying. Anyway, Sebastian, who was about to leave, followed Joyce upstairs.
"Ah." Emily sighed.
The two of them were in a rtionship, and they were enjoying a great time. How could she bother
them?
"May I have a room for three days?" Emily found a hotel to check-in. And now she could only consider
renting a house after having a hotel room.
Fortunately, she had just sold her car, and now she got money. Otherwise, she really didn''t have money
to book the hotel. She would probably have to sleep on the street.
"Yes, here is your room card." The receptionist at the front desk went through the formalities and
handed her the room card with a smile.
Emily thanked her and went upstairs to check the room. After a short rest, she decided to go out and
buy some clothes.
When she came out, she didn''t bring any other clothes except the clothes she was wearing now. All
those clothes were brought for her by Franklin, and she didn''t want to take them.
Fortunately, there was a shopping mall near the hotel, so she went there to look around and bought
some daily necessities.
"Miss Johnson?"
Emily walked to the cosmetics counter and didn''t expect to hear someone calling her. She quickly
turned around and saw Harrying with a group of people.
"Mr. Carter, why are you here?" Emily said.
Harry smiled and said, "This mall is my property. Ie to inspect it today. Why are you here alone?"
"Well, just strolling around by myself." Emily smiled.
She secretlyined to herself that this mall belonged to Harry! He was indeed wealthy. She was
no match for Ivy at all.
Harry frowned at her expression and immediately took out his phone to make a call.
Soon after, he smiled at Emily and said, "Miss Johnson, are you free tonight? I want to treat you to a
casual meal. I still need ... about 20 minutes to finish my work. Miss Johnson, please wait for me."
"Ah, have a meal? Thanks. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Carter. There''s no need for that." Emily
immediately refused.
Harry smiled and said, "Miss Johnson, please don''t be that polite to me. I happen to have something to
discuss with you, and I wish you can say yes. Lee, take Miss Johnson to find a ce to rest. I''ll go over
when I''m done."
Harry called out his secretary and asked her to take Emily to find a ce to sit down.
Emily could not resist Harry''s enthusiasm, and she was almost liked forced by the secretary and left
with her. Emily found a coffee shop to sit down and wait for Harry.
Twenty minutester, as expected, Harry came over with two assistants and said to Emily with a smile,
"Miss Johnson, let''s go!"
"Mr. Carter, what do you want from me? Actually, we don''t have to take a meal together. You can just
tell me." Emily said as she followed Harry.
Harry smiled bitterly and said, "It''s just a casual meal. Are you so unwilling to eat with me?"
"Of course not. It''s just that right now ... I really don''t have much appetite."
"Is it because of the quarrel with Franklin?" Harry asked.
Emily said in surprise, "How do you know?"
Harry smiled and said, "I just made a phone call and I knew it. I heard a little about what happened to
you. You run away from home, don''t you? Where do you live now?"
Emily was embarrassed and didn''t want to talk to him about it.
However, he was so warm and nice. She couldn''t be so indifferent and unapproachable, so she told
Harry where she lived.
Harry said, "How can you stay in a hotel? I do have an empty house. If you don''t mind, you can stay
there for two days."
"There''s really no need, Mr. Carter. I''m already troubling you. How can I keep bothering you?" Emily
said immediately.
Harry said, "You are too wee. Franklin and I have been friends for many years. I know him. He''s
just angry now. When he calms down, he will naturally pick you up. As a friend, how can I let you stay
outside in a hotel?"
"It''s nice to have a friend like Mr. Carter. I appreciate your kindness. It''s fine to have a meal together.
Thank you for inviting me to live in your house. But I''ll just stay in the hotel for two days, and then I will
go find a house. Harry ... I''m afraid the rtionship between him and me is done, so Mr. Carter doesn''t
have to keep me for him."
"Miss Johnson..."
"Mr. Carter, you''ve always been a man having worldly wisdom, but don''t make me feel that you are too
verbose or boring!" Emily interrupted him with a smile.
Harry nodded and immediately said, "Okay, I understand. We''re just going for a meal. I promise I won''t
ask you again."
Emily smiled bitterly and followed Harry out.
Harry brought her to a nice private restaurant. People like them were all keen on eating private home
food. It seemed it could reveal their identity in this way. Emily said to him jokingly.
But Harry exined solemnly, "It''s not to show off my status. It''s mainly because there are small pots
cooking here. It''s more considerate of my taste. And basically there are a few private restaurants to
ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
satisfy my own taste."
"Is this one of your favorite ces toe?" asked Emily.
Harry nodded and said, "Yes, I just don''t know if you will like it."
"Everything is fine for me. I''m not picky." Emily chuckled.
Harry took her into a small private room, which was just for two people.
During the meal, the two talked about the renovation. Emily asked, "Isn''t your friend here yet?"
"No, I got a call from her the day before yesterday. She said that her trip was dyed again, and she
didn''t know when she would be back," Harry said with a bitter smile.
Emily could tell that Harry was very concerned about his female friend. It was probably the person he
liked.
"She would be back sooner orter. Good people are worth our patient waiting, so Mr. Carter shouldn''t
be too anxious." Emilyforted him.
"Thank you for yourfort. Miss Johnson is such an informed and interesting person. My sister ... is
really iparable to you. She''s been spoiled by me and I always give her everything she wants since
she was a child. Therefore, she has developed her current character."
"It seems that you also know what your sister has done!" Emily smiled bitterly. Sure enough, Ivy''s act
was different from what she thought in mind. She probably had something to do with what happened at
the old residence.
As expected, Harry said, "She has liked Franklin since she was very young, and she is very crazy
about Franklin. Your marriage to Franklin has hurt her hard. She''s still young. I hope you can forgive
her."
"Mr. Carter is such a joker. Do people have to forgive the people who harm them before for some
reason? If that''s the case, then there is no justice or fairness in this world."
"Miss Johnson, I''m sorry. I asked too much."
"Mr. Carter, never mind. I can understand your love for your sister. It''s a blessing to have a brother like
Mr. Carter."
"Ah, but as a brother, I don''t know how to educate her. For example, this incident not only caused the
misunderstanding between you and Franklin, but also did harm to n."
