Chapter 556 Tricks
They had the meal harmoniously with their thoughts. When Rebecca occasionally asked about doing business, Abbot told her everything he knew. After the meal, Abbot paid the bill, and the four of them came out of the hotel together.
Colin held Faye's hand with one hand, put the other in his pocket, smiled at Abbot, and asked, "Do you need us to send you home, or...?"
Abbot unnaturally raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose and said, "It's getting late. You just had an operation, so you need to rest well. I've already called my assistant, and he'll be here soon."
Although Colin had seen him through, he did not expose him but smiled playfully, "Okay, be safe."
Then, he left with Faye. Faye took a step and looked back at Rebecca with a smile on her lips. Rebecca secretly gave her an OK gesture, hinting that she did not need to worry. Faye then nodded slightly in response. After Colin and Faye left, only Abbot and Rebecca were left in front of the hotel.
She stepped down two steps to stand beside him and said seemingly unintentionally, "I found Mr. Farrell is always deliberately creating opportunities for us to be alone."
Hearing this, Abbot turned his head to look at her.
Rebecca stood on tiptoe and put an arm around his neck, saying, "We have to make it clear to him that we are just friends and have no feelings for each other."
Rebecca was much shorter than Abbot, so he had to bend over.
When he looked closely at her face, his Adam's apple moved, and then he asked, "No feelings for each other?"
Rebecca's heart was pounding violently, but she pretended to be calm and nodded, "Yeah!"
Then, she turned to look at him and asked, "Why? What's wrong? Do you have feelings for me?"
Looking at her red lips opening and closing, he gritted his teeth and said, "No, I have no feelings for you at all."
Hearing his words, Rebecca raised her eyebrows and said, "What a coincidence! Neither do I."
They then looked at each other unblinkingly, fighting with their gazes silently. When they were stuck in a stalemate, a car suddenly stopped in front of them. Soon, the door of the driver's seat opened, and then, Abbot's assistant got out of the car to open the door of the back seats for them.
"Mr. Carter, Ms. Black, good evening."
Rebecca gave a quick smile, retracted her arm around Abbot's neck, and then took the lead to walk to the car.
Abbot stood up straight, raised his hand to touch his stiff neck, and went down the steps with a gloomy face.
When the assistant saw his long face, he asked in a faint voice, "Mr. Carter, are you alright?"
