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.
