My Fair Stunner novel (Faye and Colin)

Chapter 66 The Cooperation

This was the first time that Faye saw the serious side of Colin, and she couldn't help sympathizing with him.

Colin rolled down the window and blew out a stream of smoke through the window.

Faye frowned in puzzlement."I thought you've been getting along well with your grandpa."

Colin flicked the cigarette ash off and uttered, "In his eyes, the one who has excellent business skills is the most favorable one."

"That's right." Faye agreed.

Colin had a good understanding of Old Mr. Farrell's mind.

In Old Mr. Farrell's mind, as long as the descendant of the Farrells could take the family business to greatness, it didn't matter whether he was a legitimate son or an illegitimate son at all.

Were it not for his outstanding skills at business, Colin wouldn't have gotten Old Mr. Farrell's favor.

Suddenly, Faye felt the sting of compassion for Colin, realizing how little kinship meant in powerful families.

Sitting in the car, they kept silent.

After about half an hour, there were snowflakes falling.

Colin looked up at snowflakes dancing in the air. "It's snowing. I guess we wouldn't be able to go back."

"Is there a hotel nearby?" Faye asked.

"Yes, they're at the business district. Go along the road and we'll arrive there," Colin answered.

Snow was falling heavily. Faye looked out through the glass and said, "Then let's go there right now before the snow grows thicker."

Colin took off the cigarette butt and turned the steering wheel.

As the car drove slowly up the winding road, Faye heard her cellphone vibrating in her pocket and took it out.

She received a message from Sebastian. "Will you come back today?"

Faye texted back, "I won't."

Sebastian texted, "Do you still have work to do?"

Faye texted back, "It's a private thing."

Sebastian didn't respond for more than a minute. Before Faye was going to put down her cellphone, Sebastian sent a message. "I'll cook for you." Faye paused and texted him back, "Thank you."

Putting her cellphone back in the pocket, she met Colin's questioning gaze. "Is that Sebastian? He likes you, doesn't he?" Colin asked.

"No," Faye answered, knitting her brows.

Hearing that, Colin grinned, unspeaking.

Today, they had spent the most harmonious time together, without hidden tension between them.

An hour later, they arrived at the business district. Having driven around the district, Colin pulled in front of a hotel. "This is it. It's barely acceptable." Faye looked out of the window and replied, "Okay."

Actually, Faye was not picky about housing condition, as long as it was clean with a comfortable bed.

Colin parked the car and got off with Faye. They entered the hotel and walked to the front desk.

The receptionist looked up from her cellphone, her face turning red at the sight of Colin. "Hello, what...what can I do for you?" she stood up, stammering. Having already recovered from his sorrow after the drive, Colin had been back to his usual calmness.

In the grown-up world, no matter how stressed one was, he or she had to suck it up.

Colin took out his wallet, and handed the receptionist his passport. "Check in," he said. "For tonight or for a few hours?" the receptionist asked.

"For tonight."

The receptionist looked at Faye. "Are you two together? Please show me your certificates."

Hearing that, Faye took out her passport and handed it over. "Two rooms, please."

A surprised look flashed across the receptionist's face, and then she asked, "By card or by cash?" "By card," Faye said.

She took out her bank card when Colin interrupted, "Use my car. It doesn't have a password."

The receptionist took his bank card and checked in for them.

Faye took her passport and her room card, and headed for the elevator.

Colin glanced back at her, wearing a wicked smile, and caught up with her.

In the elevator, Colin spun the room card in his hand and looked at Faye. "Why did we waste money on the other room?"

"I'll transfer the money to you later," Faye said, leaning against the wall.

When Colin leaned toward her, she pushed him away, holding her room card against his chest. "Colin, I appreciate what you've done for my aunt."

Colin stepped backwards, and leaned against the corner of the elevator, saying with a lopsided grin, "So?"

"Do you want to revenge on the Farrells?" Faye asked.

"Have a guess," Colin replied.

"If you do, I want to cooperate with you. If not, then forget what I said."
