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?"
