Chapter 726 Built Happiness on My Best Friend's Pain
Seeing that the anger had just calmed down and was about to explode again, Colin kicked Abbot under the table.
Abbot gasped in pain and was about to get angry. Then, he saw Colin curling up his lips and asked with a faint smile "Are you not done yet with thirty years of being single?"
Abbot was speechless.
A real man wouldn't argue with the woman that he loved out of anger.
Colin's words touched the raw nerve of Abbot.
Abbot pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to take the teacup in front of him, and brought it to his mouth. Then, he swallowed the rest of his words along with the tea.
After Rebecca finished speaking, she saw that Abbot didn't talk back. She took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and turned to talk to Faye.
Rebecca was in an intense chat with Faye. At the same time, Abbot wasn't idling as well. After he put down the teacup, he told Colin the ins and outs of the conflict between Rebecca and him.
The overall situation was that Rebecca made a deal, but the other party was having an ulterior motive.
Since the other party was a man, Abbot knew what was his thought in his mind.
He could know his intention and dirty thoughts about Rebecca with a glance.
Abbot was aggrieved when he spoke. He was very upset but he didn't dare to speak too loud since he was worried that he might lose his girlfriend if she got to hear it.
After Abbot finished his story, he asked Colin, "Colin, do you think I should be blamed for this?"
Colin lowered his head and adjusted his shirt cuffs. Then, he chuckled and said, "Who should be the person to be blamed if it isn't you? Rebecca?"
Abbot replied, "Why me?"
Colin rolled up his cuffs to his elbows, looked up at Abbot, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "If I were you, I'd let Rebecca sign the contract."
Abbot was confused.
Colin explained, "It's common that people will not stop until they reach their goal. They won't simply give up that much hopes they have. How are you going to make her believe in something that has not happened yet?"
Hearing that, Abbot thought for a while and he said, "Then, what if something bad happens to her?
Colin teased, "You aren't going to stand still. Aren't you?"
Abbot was speechless.
Colin took the pot, poured tea into Abbot's cup, and said, "The right way to protect a person is when she is going to fall, you hold onto her."
After Colin finished speaking, he paused for a while deliberately. Then, he looked and Abbot and continued, "The way you are doing it isn't protecting her but cutting off all her job offers."
Those who knew the inside story would know that Abbot was angry because the other party was having bad intentions toward Rebecca.
However, those who didn't know the inside story would think that Abbot was just being jealous and didn't want Rebecca to work with another man.
With Abbot's influence in Cocanel, he would be powerful enough to cut all job offers to Rebecca.
Abbot was blinded by jealousy, but Rebecca was able to see the whole picture.
That was the reason why Rebecca was being so angry.
After those explanations, Abbot seemed to have a lot on his mind. He frowned without saying a word.
Colin was tapping his fingers on the table to bring Abbot back to his senses, "Apologize with sincerity later and say something nice. Just do what you are supposed to do including kneel."
