My Fair Stunner novel (Faye and Colin)
Chapter 151 Business Is Business

Chapter 151 Business Is Business

Five minutes later, Faye arrived at the door of Colin's office.

Robert was constantly reassuring her that it was a work thing.

Just when she was going to knock, from the office came the sound of two voices.

"I think you deserve it. What have you done these days? Your always make Faye the center of your life. Now you've come to a dead end. Stop playing a hero in front of Faye." "Don't you have anything else to do?"

"What? I'm busy. I'm dying here."

It was Abbot in Colin's office, reclining on the couch and looking at Colin with disdain.

Colin was in a fret, standing in front of the French window and tugging at his tie. "Hank must have been plotting against me earlier."

Abbot laughed. "You're 28. Then he might have been plotting for 20 years."

Colin cast a sideways glance at him. "Are you here today to laugh at me?"

"No, I'm here to insult you," Abbot said.

Colin said no more.

Failing to stimulate Colin with sarcasm, Abbot took on a serious tone, "How are you going to solve this?"

Colin said coldly, "This project is very important. I won't give it up to him."

"But the project is underpinned by public welfare. You have the reputation for being disgraceful. How can you make yourself a charity ambassador?"

Colin kept a straight face and remained speechless.

Abbot straightened up on the crouch, clearing his throat. "What about asking your godmother for her help?"

"How?" Colin asked.

"If I were you, I would call Mason and beg her to speak for me. Think about this..."

Colin silenced him with a glare.

Abbot threw up his hands in resignation but continued to tease Colin, "Look at you. Don't tell me you're afraid of phoning her. You were completely indifferent about the affairs with actresses." Colin kept silent, thinking of the question Faye asked him last night, a tight feeling in his chest.

If he had known that Faye had the anxiety, he would not have stayed away from those female stars.

Faye listened to their conversation and didn't get in.

Robert said to her, "Mrs. Farrell, may I knock for you?"

"OK," Faye said.

Robert knocked on the door and opened it. "Mr. Farrell, Mrs. Farrell has come." Then he stepped aside and invited Faye in.

Faye nodded at him and got in.

Robert closed the door when he went out.

When Faye walked in, the anger disappeared from Colin's face. "When did you arrive at the company?" he asked.

"Just now," Faye said.

"Have you had breakfast?" Colin asked.

"Mr. Farrell." Faye knitted her eyebrows.

Colin realized that Faye didn't want to be close with him in the company and said no more.

Abbot rubbed his jaw on the crouch, smiling at Faye. "Faye, have you had breakfast?" He had waited to see a good show since Faye got in. As he expected, Colin showed his rare hospitality but it was in vain. "I have," Faye said out of courtesy.

Abbot glanced at Colin triumphantly and said to Faye, "If you haven't, I can buy you breakfast. It's my pleasure."

Faye smiled and said no more.

When she turned to look at Colin, Colin had sat back down on his chair, tugging at his collar.

She saw the hickey on his neck and instantly looked away. Recovering her composure, she said, "Mr. Farrell, what can I do for you?"

"Half a month ago, we invested in a public welfare project and did massive preparatory work for it. But we have been set up by Hank in the last step."

Colin looked up to watch Faye's expression when he spoke of Hank.

"What did Hank do?" Faye met his gaze calmly.

"He revealed that the Longs used to look after me when I was a child, and let the media bring up Mason's quitting the show business and my breaking up with the Longs." Hearing that, Faye was clear about the matter.

Now that these seemingly unrelated things have been posted on the same news page at the same time, people tended to think those things were related.

It had been well-known that Mason was Colin's rumored girlfriend for several years.

Since the Longs used to look after Colin, people would logically suppose Mason was his childhood sweetheart.

However, the facts that Colin broke up with the Longs and Mason quit the show business would ruin Colin's image in front of the public.

With the bad reputation of being an ungrateful wretch, Colin would be widely criticized if he participated in public welfare.

Faye was silent, her eyes downcast. "If you don't want to confront Hank, I can..." Colin said to her.

"I'll deal with this," Faye interrupted.
