My Fair Stunner novel (Faye and Colin)
Chapter 492 Caught in the Act

Chapter 492 Caught in the Act

After Colin finished his words, Abbot looked at him with a forced smile.

Colin slightly lifted his eyebrows and said, "You really don't wanna go there?"

Abbot replied, "Do you think I am that kind of flatterer?"

Colin said, "Yep."

Hearing that, Abbot felt speechless.

When Faye returned after seeing off Rebecca, it happened that Ethan and Abbot were about to leave.

Faye said with a smile, "Don't wanna stay a little longer?"

Abbot replied, "If I stay a little longer, I'm afraid that Colin will jump up from the sickbed and ask to be discharged."

Faye smiled and continued, "Then you two should drive carefully on the way."

With that, Faye followed the two toward the door.

Seeing this, Ethan stopped her and said, "You don't have to see us off. Take good care of Colin."

Faye stopped and said with a smile and a nod, "OK."

Although Ethan had said there was no need to see them off, Faye still watched them until they disappeared around the corner before returning to the ward.

As there were many people just now, Faye had no opportunity to say something affectionate to Colin.

Now that all the people had left, Faye walked to the sickbed, bent down to give Colin a kiss on his forehead, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Colin smiled, reached out to hold Faye's waist, and said, "No, it doesn't hurt."

Faye said, "Your face was pale when you just came out of the operating theatre."

Colin said, "Were you frightened?"

Faye said honestly, "A little."

Looking at Colin's ruddy face, Faye suddenly understood a saying, "When you love someone, you get your armor, but also a weakness."

For the first time, Faye realized that she would feel the same pain even if the knife was not stabbed into her body.

In the meantime, Abbot and Ethan came out of the hospital and went straight to the parking lot.

As Ethan had something to do and had to go back to the office, she left after getting into the car.

Sitting in the car and smoking a cigarette, Abbot took out his phone and gave a call to Rebecca.

Probably because they had just met today, Rebecca thought it would be impolite not to answer the phone this time.

She answered the phone and said with a smile, "Mr. Carter."

Abbot asked, "Where are you?"

Rebecca replied, "I've returned to the company."

Abbot coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said, "I paid the expenses of the investment in later stages and endorsement of the resort for you. Shouldn't you give me an IOU?"

Rebecca was silent.

Rebecca had been thinking about avoiding emotional matters during this period of time, and almost forgot about this.

Rebecca was silent for a while and asked, "Mr. Carter, how much is it? I'll transfer the money to you?"

Abbot said, "Aren't you short of money now? You don't have to pay me back in a hurry. Just give me an IOU."

Hearing that, Rebecca didn't speak.

After finishing his words and seeing Rebecca was silent, Abbot asked, "Is it inconvenient for you?"

It was natural to pay back what you owe.

Rebecca forced a laugh and said, "No. It's OK, Mr. Carter. May I know when you have time? I'll ask my assistant to send you the IOU."

Abbot replied, "I happen to be going to do something at the place near your company now, and I'll go over to get it by myself."

Hearing that Abbot was coming over personally, Rebecca felt a little queasy, gritting her teeth and saying, "Okay."

Abbot continued, "Well, I'll be there in about an hour."

Rebecca said, "Oh, good."

Hanging up the phone from Abbot, Rebecca looked at the red light in front of her dumbly, and her mind went blank.

About an hour later, Rebecca went downstairs with her assistant to greet Abbot in person.

Rebecca smiled, holding Abbot's hand with both hands and keeping shaking it as if she was receiving a foreign guest, and said, "Mr. Carter, welcome."

The assistant had met Abbot before, so she followed Rebecca and said, "Welcome, Mr. Carter."

Abbot was used to seeing the lively Rebecca in private, so when he suddenly saw her being so serious, he couldn't accept it for a while and said, "Hmm?" Rebecca said, "Your arrival at our company really makes our company better."

Abbot was speechless.

No matter from her expression, or talking, he could feel that Rebecca now was acting hypocritically!

After finishing her words, she saw that Abbot was silent, so she let go of Abbot's hand and made a gesture to show him the way.

Abbot dropped his eyes to glance at Rebecca, and then stepped forward.

Abbot had come here several times before to help Colin inquire about Faye's condition, so he was familiar with the place, and it didn't take long for him to get to Rebecca's office.

Rebecca asked her assistant to make tea and coffee, and after being busy with preparations for a while, she finally went to the desk and handed Abbot the IOU she had prepared in advance with both hands. "Mr. Carter, here's the IOU. I'm not sure of the exact amount, so please help write it down by yourself."

After saying that, Rebecca was worried that she would be tricked, so she added with a smile, "You are a friend of Faye, so I trust you."

Abbot asked, "Do you believe in Faye? Or do you believe in me?"

Rebecca smiled awkwardly and answered, "I believe in both of you. As the old saying goes, birds of a feather fly together, so my belief in Faye is also my belief in you."

Hearing Rebecca's words, Abbot snorted lightly and then stared at Rebecca.

Rebecca had been caught in an embarrassing situation today, and as she saw Abbot looking at her like this, she was flustered and said, "Mr. Carter."

Abbot teased, "Rebecca, who is the foolish rich man you talked about in the convenient store today?"
