Chapter 87 His Explanation
It was quite dark. Colin sat in the car, turned off the engine, and lit a cigarette.
Taking a deep drag on his cigarette, he looked up at the familiar window.
Faye hadn't slept yet and her bedroom light was on. The light looked dim through the beige curtains.
After smoking, his emotions gradually calmed down. He took out his phone from his pocket and sent
her an Instagram message, "Are you asleep?"
After the message was sent, he got no response.
Colin stared at the silent phone screen and laughed reluctantly. Then he opened the door and got off
the car.
At that time, Faye had just come out of the bath and was about to dry her hair when her phone on the
bedside table vibrated.
Faye walked over with a dry towel on her shoulder and picked up her phone. There was an Instagram
message and a Facebook notification on it.
The message was sent by Colin. Faye skipped it and glanced at the Facebook notification "Mason is
making an announcement that she will permanently quit the entertainment industry."
Faye frowned slightly, thinking of the call Colin answered tonight.
Didn't she plead with him?
Why did she quit?
After thinking for a while, Faye couldn't figure it out, so she put down her phone and went to blow her
hair dry.
She had been tortured by Colin in the car today and she could still clearly feel the pain in her body.
Thinking of Colin, Faye sat in front of the dressing table and couldn't help but go off into wild flights of
fancy, such as what had happened at the Farrells tonight.
She was worried about how to tell Old Mr. Farrell about Carlotta in the past few days. But she hadn't
expected it to be solved so easily by Colin.
She had to admit that she was quite grateful to Colin for what happened tonight.
It didn't matter when Colin said it. But given Old Mr. Farrell's shrewdness, she didn't know what he
would have thought if she did it.
Admittedly, working with a man like Colin yielded far more benefits than she had imagined.
Thinking of the benefits, Faye couldn't help but think of the disadvantages.
Faye looked in the mirror in front of her and could see the marks on her collarbone.
Faye was thinking about how to cover them tomorrow when there suddenly came a knock on the door.
Faye came to her senses, paused, and got up to open the door.
It was late and not many people would come. Rebecca had been on a business trip recently, and
Tanner had recently joined a crew to play a male supporting role. The only person who would come
was Colin.
When the door opened, Faye frowned at the man who had caused the marks on her collarbone, "What
is it?"
Colin put one hand on the door frame, looked down at Faye, and said with a faint smile, "I'd like to go in
for some water."
Faye didn't answer and she didn't allow him to come in.
Seeing this, Colin raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm a guest, and you don't even invite me in for a
glass of water?"
Faye said, "Are you sure you just want some water?"
Hearing that, Colin grinned, "What else can I do?"
They looked at each other. Colin saw Faye's vigilance and said with a smile, "Do you think I'm so
energetic?"
Faye said, "You're damned energetic."
Colin said, "You're complimenting me."
Colin's tone was affirmative.
Faye kept silent, and she was trying to resist the urge to roll her eyes.
Speaking of which, Faye admired Colin in this regard.
They were now nominally partners, but she had never been nice to him.
He had been frustrated many times, but he kept trying again and again.
With that, they stared at each other for a few seconds.
Faye took a deep breath, knowing that Colin would not compromise. She pursed her lips slightly,
turned, and walked towards the door, "Plain boiled water, or what?"
Colin entered the house and stood at the entrance to change his shoes, "Anything will do."
Hearing that, Faye went to the refrigerator, opened it, and got him a bottle of mineral water.
When she was about to close the refrigerator door, Colin suddenly came up from behind her, wrapped
his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Faye, I'm actually
in a bad mood today."
Faye had been a PR manager for so long, and she had worked so hard for nothing.
She had seen all kinds of people, and she could tell whether the man behind her was telling the truth or
not.
Seeing that Colin wasn't lying, Faye didn't struggle. She lifted the cap of the mineral water, handed it to
him, and said, "Drink it and calm down."
Colin didn't take it. He took a sip from Faye's hand and said, "She raised me anyway. Did I go too far
today?"
Faye said, "I don't know what happened between you."
Colin rubbed his chin against Faye's shoulder and said, "It's a bit complicated."
Faye squeezed the mineral water bottle and said, "Do you want some more?"
Colin said, "Do you want to hear what happened to me tonight?"
Colin nodded naturally but somehow felt uneasy.
Compared to Colin's nervousness, Faye was very calm. She capped the bottle cap and turned to look
at him, "I will listen to you, but can you let me go? Let's talk somewhere else."
Hearing this, Colin brushed his thin lips vaguely against her neck and said with a smile, "Okay."
Colin agreed readily, but he was reluctant to let her go.
Faye felt Colin's reluctance, so she turned around, threw the mineral water bottle into Colin's arms, and
pushed him away. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
They walked to the sofa one after the other. Colin sat on the couch, and Faye sat on the single sofa
opposite him.
Colin looked at her and joked, "How can we talk at such a distance?"
Faye calmly picked up the glass of juice on the coffee table and said, "It's okay. Go ahead. I'm
listening."
Faye leaned back on the sofa while drinking the juice.
Colin looked at Faye's rare homey look and smiled. With his legs slightly open, he put his elbows on his
knees and said, "Do you have any cigarettes at home?"
Faye said, "Yes, they're in the drawer in front of you, but not men's cigarettes."
Colin lowered his head and reached out to open the drawer in front of him.
Man, it was neatly packed with all kinds of ladies' cigarettes.
Colin took a random box, opened it, and looked at Faye, "Do you often smoke at home?"
Faye didn't answer his question and said, "Tell me what happened tonight. Why did Mason announce
to quit the showbiz?"
Colin bit the cigarette and raised his head, "What?"
Faye said, "You don't know?"
Colin lit a cigarette and said, "I don't know."
Faye pursed her lips and said, "I see, please continue."
Colin asked again, "Do you smoke at home?"
Faye frowned, "I didn't ask you to continue talking about this. Tell me what happened to you tonight."
Colin put the cigarette between his teeth and said, "Smoke less in the future. If I see you smoke, you'll
be sorry."
With that, he didn't care whether Faye would refute or not, took a deep drag on his cigarette, looked at
her, and said, "The rumors about Mason and me were all fake."
Faye was stunned, "What?"
Colin took the cigarette from the corner of his mouth and was so nervous that his hand trembled, and
the ashes scattered on his suit pants. He continued, "The rumors about Mason and me are fake, and
so are the rumors about other female stars and young models."
