My Fair Stunner novel (Faye and Colin)

Chapter 20 Would Not Ask Him For Help

Faye knew she shouldn't trust him from the very beginning!

When Colin walked to the door, he happened to hang up the phone. He put away the phone and helped Faye pull the broken hair on her cheek behind her ear, "Mr. Blake invited me to dinner tonight."

Faye glanced at Galen, who couldn't close her mouth in shock, and narrowed her eyes, "Okay."

Colin ignored the displeasure in Faye's eyes, and turned his head to greet Galen, "Faye's assistant?"

Galen reacted and said awkwardly, "Hello, Mr. Farrell."

Colin smiled lazily, "Buy Faye some soup tonight. She has a poor stomach and can't eat anything else."

Galen hurriedly said yes. She looked at Colin and then at Faye, and felt that the atmosphere between them was somewhat ambiguous. Before Galen could see more details, Colin had walked away.

Galen watched Colin get in the elevator and took two steps toward Faye, "Ms. Nash, do you have a good relationship with Mr. Farrell?" Faye said, "No."

Galen was surprised, "Really? But it seems that Mr. Farrell is very close to you. He even knows that you can only have soup at night!" Faye withdrew her gaze and walked to the room, "Let's have a barbecue tonight, spicy."

Galen was surprised, "What?"

Faye turned her back to Galen to sort out the tablet computer on the coffee table, "He lied to you. I can eat anything at night."

Galen realized that Faye suggested barbecue to refute what Colin had just said.

Galen added, "Ms. Nash, are you and Mr. Farrell childhood sweethearts?"

Faye froze and responded, "I don't think so."

Galen usually didn't talk much. But today she was so excited to see Colin, and she became very chatty, "But I heard from others in the company that you grew up together!"

Faye straightened up with the tablet computer and said, "I grew up with Hank. Colin... came to the Farrells later."

Galen nodded heavily and said, "I remember it. They all said that Mr. Farrell was the illegitimate child of the Farrells!" Faye was surprised.

Was Colin the illegitimate child of the Farrells?

No!

Outsiders might not know, but Faye knew well that Colin's father married his mother first.

When Galen saw Faye's silence, she realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and apologized, "Ms. Nash, that's not what I meant. I didn't mean to speak ill o Mr. Farrell."

Faye smiled, "Okay, no need to apologize. You've worked for me for two years. I know your temperament."

Hearing Faye's words, Galen was much relieved.

Galen and Faye had a barbecue for dinner at the restaurant opposite the hotel.

They were sweating profusely and ordered two bottles of icy Sprite.

Galen looked at Faye who was sitting across from her and felt for the first time that Faye was so easygoing.

"Ms. Nash, has anyone ever said that you are beautiful? I mean, you are not ordinarily beautiful, but breathtaking beautiful at first glance." Galen stared at Faye and said.

Faye lifted her eyes to look at her and said with a smile, "Really?"

Galen said, "Yeah! You'd better laugh more often. Everyone is afraid to get close to you because of your relationship with the Farrells."

Faye enjoyed the food and said slowly, "I have nothing to do with the Farrells."

Galen didn't pay much attention to what Faye said. She took a sip of the icy sprite in front of her, and asked, "Ms. Nash, Mr. Farrell said that Mr. Blake invited him to dinner. Is it Mr. Blake we are looking for?" Faye said, "Yes."

Galen was excited, "Can Mr. Farrell help us?"

Faye almost finished her dinner and said, "No, Mr. Farrell is not the kind of person who will show favoritism."

Galen couldn't hide her disappointment and said, "I see."

Faye knew Colin well. Even though he looked casual, he was always scrupulous in separating public from private interests.

After leaving the restaurant, Galen couldn't see clearly in the dark and summoned up her courage to hold Faye's arm.

Faye looked down at her and let her hold her arm.

Galen grew bolder and whispered, "Ms. Nash, I've worked for you for two years, and this is my first business trip with you."

Faye responded, "Well, in the past two years, I rarely traveled for business. Even when I took a business trip occasionally, I didn't need to bring an assistant."

Galen smiled shyly, "I think you're a nice person."

Faye said, "Thank you."

Back at the hotel, Faye suffered from stomach problems in the middle of the night and rolled on the bed in pain.

Faye bit her lips and endured it, and finally got up and drank two glasses of warm water to ease the pain.

Early the next morning, Faye's face was slightly pale, and even the makeup didn't make her look any better.

Galen looked at her during breakfast and said, "Ms. Nash, did you think about Mr. Blake last night and didn't sleep well?" Faye pursed her lips and said, "Yes."

Galen took a sip of coffee and said, "It's very tricky, and I'm worried too."

After breakfast, Faye took Galen to the golf course early.

Mr. Blake would play golf every Friday afternoon, but they had a lot of prep work to do, so they had to arrive early.

At noon, Faye and Galen simply had some bread and water for lunch. In the afternoon, Faye brought Galen to meet Mr. Blake by chance.

Mr. Blake was over 50 years old, but he looked like he was in his 40s because he had paid great attention to his health all year round. Faye was an average golfer who had used to play with Old Mr. Farrell on weekends.

Mr. Blake played two games alone before he was attracted by Faye, and he said with a smile, "Young girl, you're a good player."

Faye responded decently, "Your level is higher than mine."

Mr. Blake said, "How about playing two rounds with me?"

Faye couldn't be happier. But she looked calm, "Sure."

Faye was humble and tied with Mr. Blake in two rounds.

Mr. Blake looked at her with admiration, took a bottle of mineral water, and handed it to her, "Wait a minute. I have a backup player here."

Faye took the water and smiled, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Mr. Blake was somewhat childish, "My backup player is a master. I'm afraid you will cry later."

Faye smiled gently, "I haven't cried since I was seven."

Mr. Blake said, "Young girl, you sound quite confident."

Faye smiled, wanting to say something to flatter him when there suddenly came a familiar voice from behind her, "Mr. Blake, there are beautiful girls here. Why didn't you call me earlier?" Mr. Blake turned around and glared at Colin who was wearing a black shirt and trousers, "Don't talk nonsense. I just saw that the young girl played well and asked her to play two rounds with me!" Colin's shirt collar was slightly open. As he walked over, he rolled up his sleeves, revealed his forearm with obvious muscles, and said casually with a smile, "It turned out to be a chance encounter!"
