Chapter 153 Human Nature

Chapter 153 Human Nature

Alexander was cuddling in his warm, soft bed when he got the call.

Throwing back the quilt, he sprang from the bed. "Finally I can do some work!"

"It's a big work. You only have three hours to do it. Is that OK?" Faye said.

"Faye, I can have it done in an hour and a half, as long as it was not a thing that happened decades ago like your case." Alexander laughed. "OK, prove yourself to me with results. I'll send you their names. I got to go. Bye," Faye said.

Alexander giggled and hung up the phone quickly.

Faye typed on her cellphone and sent a message to Alexander. "The scandals of One Weekly's boss. Mason Long's current address."

Then she glanced at Rex. "Have you prepared?"

Rex swallowed hard in embarrassment and put on a smile. "Ms. Nash, Fanny admires you a lot. Since she met with you in that show, she has been..."

Faye clapped her hands, calling him to stop. "Just make it short."

Rex went blank.

Faye said with an aloof expression on her face, her white hands placed on the office desk, "Do you want me to give Fanny more resources?"

Surprised by her abrupt question, Rex continued with a trace of embarrassment, "Fanny is a talented actress but unsophisticated. That kind of character is not good for her career in showbiz."

After a short silence, Faye replied, "I'm busy today. You can bring her to me tomorrow afternoon."

"So you've agreed?" Rex was excited.

"Yes," Faye said.

Rex kept saying thanks. He dared not be close to Faye because of the announcement Colin posted a few days ago.

Listening to his string of contrived compliments, Faye kept silent. After he finished his words, she spoke, "Please send this word to Fanny. Heavy is the head that wears a crown. She is a reserved person and doesn't have a strong will. She shall improve herself."

"I'll pass the word to her. Ms. Nash, nowadays, young people are far stronger than you think. A lot of people in this world have to fight for survival. Fanny knows well about that." Rex bowed obsequiously. Faye said no more. After a few flattering remarks, Rex said goodbye and left.

Watching Rex leave, Colin sipped at her glass and thought of Fanny. She seemed to see her former self in Fanny.

Being aspiring but also timid.

Alexander was really an excellent information collector.

More than an hour later after they talked, Faye received his phone call.

"Tell me," Faye said.

Having been speechless for a few seconds, Alexander said in a sobbing voice, "How can you be that cold to me?" Faye was speechless.

Alexander couldn't help chuckling and said, "Faye, what do you want to know first?"

"Mason's new address," Faye said.

"What a coincidence. She happens to live in the community I live in now," Alexander said.

"What about the boss of One Weekly?" Faye asked.

"I didn't find his scandal but I've found one thing about him," Alexander said.

"What's it?" Faye asked.

"The boss has a test-tube baby and still keeps it a secret from his wife. The boy is now three years old."

All Faye knew was that the boss had made a career with the help of his father-in-law. He and his wife had two daughters. The eldest one was seventeen and was ready to study abroad. Faye was silent for several minutes.

"Faye, I think the boss is crazy. Why did he have to get a test-tube son?" Alexander teased.

"A greedy devil won't be full," Faye said.

Faye thought, "Desire was always endless. When being hungry, one will be content with food. When being full, one will be governed by sexual desire. After reaching physiological needs, one will pursue spiritual fulfillment. In one word, human beings have an insatiable nature."

After chatting a bit, Faye told Alexander to wait for her at the gate of the community.

Alexander agreed. "Faye, call me when you arrive."

Faye hung up the phone, packed her things, and made for the door.

At the underground parking lot, Faye took out her car key and was going to open the door. Suddenly, she heard a submissive voice behind her. "Faye."
