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.
