Chapter 9 Appointment
Chapter 9 Appointment
Garrett thought Colin had been angered by Faye.
Hearing Colin's question, he looked back at Faye and whispered to persuade her, "Ms. Nash, I think Miss Long is very suitable to be the special guest of our annual conference in terms of both appearance and temperament..."
Before he could finish speaking, Faye raised her eyes to look at him and said lightly, "Once she refuses to cooperate, she will become unsuitable."
Garrett felt speechless.
The atmosphere was awkward, and Garrett's forehead was beaded with thin sweat because he realized that he couldn't afford to offend either of them.
If there were a gap on the ground now, he would have long hidden in it to minimize his sense of existence.
When Garrett thought the stalemate would last forever, Colin said lightly, "Garrett, do as Ms. Nash requested."
Garrett was surprised to hear that but hurriedly replied, "Okay."
Hearing Colin's words, Faye slightly nodded at him and said, "Mr. Farrell, if there is nothing else, I'll go back to my office first."
Colin adjusted his sitting position and said with a half-smile, "Please go ahead."
After Faye left, Garrett raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Farrell, how should we explain to Miss Long?"
Colin slightly opened his slender legs, took out a cigarette from the case on the coffee table, put it between his thin lips, and said, "Isn't this the planning department's job? Why do you ask me about it?" Garrett was speechless.
When Faye returned to the PR department and entered her office, she received a call from her best friend Rebecca.
Glancing at the caller ID, she answered the call and asked, "Hi Rebecca, what's up?"
Rebecca had just returned from abroad and was still jet-lagged now, so she was incoherent while speaking. She asked, "Faye, where are you now?"
Faye went straight to her chair and sat down, replying, "In my office. What's wrong?"
Rebecca snorted, "I heard your husband cheated on you again?"
She had accurately used the word "again".
Faye didn't answer, so he continued, "Why is he cheating on you all the time? How can he mess around with so many women? Doesn't he need to take a break?"
Faye turned on her computer and flipped through the recent trending topics. Making sure Farrell Media did not have any scandal exposed, she changed the topic by asking, "Aren't you on a business trip? Are you back?"
Rebecca answered, "Yes, I am back and exhausted. I am still jet-lagged although I've slept for a whole day."
Faye asked, "Do you need more sleep?"
Rebecca stretched herself and said, "No. Although my company is small, I still have to work hard, right? I might succeed in the future. After all, every dog has its day..."
Faye teased, "Don't always say every dog has its day. Even if your day comes, you will still be an underdog."
Rebecca snapped, "Faye!"
Faye couldn't help laughing, and then, she corrected herself, "Okay, I know you are a hardworking woman although your family is rich."
Rebecca liked to hear such words the most, so she snorted softly and asked, "Are you available tonight?"
Faye put her hand on the mouse and asked, "Where?"
Rebecca replied, "DK! My treat! Tonight will be a good night to get plastered."
Faye chuckled, "I'll pay the bill! I'm afraid you'll let the waiter add water to the wine if I let you pay."
Rebecca retorted, "Gee! Are you looking down on me?"
Faye smiled, "You are notorious for being stingy. When you said you would treat me to instant noodles in college, you shared one package with me to save money in the end."
Rebecca fell silent.
In the evening, Faye stopped the car in front of DK. When she was about to unfasten the seat belt, there was a sudden loud bang from the rear of the car, and the inertia sent her half an inch forward.
