Chapter 550 Lying

Colin's expression looked normal when he spoke, and his disguise was excellent.

Faye lowered her head, look into his eyes, and said without any doubt, "Robert signed the wrong contract?"

Colin tightened his grip on her slender waist and nodded, "Yeah."

Faye raised her eyebrows in silence. It was no exaggeration to say that since she had joined Farrell Media, she had never heard of Robert making a mistake before. He was a wise man who seemed careless on the surface, but he was extremely prudent in fact.

Seeing her keep silent, Colin coughed lightly and guided the conversation in the direction he wanted, saying, "Honey, it is Robert that made the mistake, so I can't let him pick up the pieces. But I can't leave here now..."

Colin did not finish his words, but he had already made it so clear that Faye could understand what he meant as long as she was not an idiot.

So, she asked, "Do you want me to deal with this matter?"

Colin pretended to be calm and smiled, "Can you do me this favor?"

Faye stretched out her hands, wrapped her arms around his neck naturally, and replied, "Yes, I can."

Faye had answered his question quickly, but he somehow felt suffocated.

Hearing her words, he loosened his clenched molar teeth, forced an unnatural smile, and said, "Thank you, honey. I will ask Robert to email the detailed information to you." She asked, "When do you need me to go?"

He replied in a deep voice, "No hurry. You can go after Aunt Carlotta's wedding."

She nodded, "Okay."

Faye chatted with Colin for a while in the office, tried on the dress, and then went back to the PR department.

As soon as she left, Robert pushed the door open and went in. When he and Colin looked at each other, their faces were equally gloomy.

Robert ventured, "Mr. Farrell, is it done?"

Colin raised his hand, tugged at his unbuttoned collar, and nodded, "Yes."

Robert asked, "She believed the story we made up just now?"

Colin let go of his collar, rubbed his temples, and said, "Do you think she agreed too easily?"

Being seen through, Robert raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose and laughed, "A little bit."

Colin leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, and sighed, "She is smart, so she must not have believed the story. What she believes is me."

Robert fell silent. It was a very ordinary sentence, but he felt inexplicably uncomfortable when hearing it. If it were at ordinary times, he would have secretly complained about Colin's narcissism. But now, he did not want to complain at all but understood his feelings. Colin loved Faye very much and had spent eleven years chasing after her. To let her accept him, he had bared his soul and almost died. But now, he had taken advantage of her trust and deceived her. White lies were also lies after all.

Robert kept silent, so Colin slowly said, "Robert."

Hearing this, Robert tensed up and said, "Yes?"

Colin asked, "Should I confess to her? I mean tell her the truth."

Robert replied, "Well, I think..."

He had lived for nearly 30 years, but he had never been so lost for words before. He did not know the answer at all, but he had to bite the bullet to speak. He had stuttered for a long time but couldn't say anything useful, so Colin rolled his eyes at him and then stood up, intending to pour a glass of water. But unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, he felt soft in his legs and almost fell back to the chair. Robert was stunned and asked, "Mr. Farrell, are you alright?"

Colin didn't hide it but pinched his eyebrows with his fingers and said, "Robert, please pour me a glass of water. I feel weak in my legs."

Robert was speechless. Half a minute later, he handed Colin a glass of water.

Colin took it over, took two sips, lifted his eyes to look at him, and said, "I lied to her, and my back is full of sweat now."

Robert smiled awkwardly, thinking Colin did not have to be so frank. After all, he could see he was a hen-pecked husband easily.

Colin took a deep breath and said, "It is not shameful to be afraid of my wife."

Robert echoed, "Yes! My dad has taught me since I was a child that I must listen to my wife after getting married."

Colin nodded, "Your father is a wise man."

Robert said, "Yes, he is very wise in this aspect. He has no say at home, and even our dog's status is higher than his."

Hearing his, Colin raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "What are you implying?"

Robert suddenly returned to his senses, so he cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Farrell, it suddenly occurred to me that I still have a few contracts to review. I'll go out now. Please don't hesitate to call me if you have any orders."

Then, he turned around and ran out of the door.

Watching him leave, Colin picked up his phone and sent a message to Maxwell, saying, "Hurry up. A long delay may cause trouble."
