Chapter 67 Traces of Love
Looking down at Faye's serious, sincere face, Colin stopped smiling, raising an eyebrow. "You wanna cooperate with me?"
"Yes," Faye said firmly, while thinking, "Now that he has known what I plan to do, it is better to make him my collaborator rather than an enemy. The Farrells are troublesome enough to me. Why do I burden myself to make an enemy with him?"
Furthermore, she didn't want to make an enemy with Colin.
It was not only because Colin was powerful, but also that she held a sort of compassion toward him after what happened today.
Colin straightened up and questioned, "But what can I get from our cooperation?"
"You can give it a try. It's more than you think."
Colin regarded Faye with his intense gaze, unspeaking.
Then when Faye was about to give up, he grinned. "Okay."
She smiled and reached out her hand to him, saying in a businesslike manner, "I hope we'll enjoy our cooperation."
"Me, too." Faye shook hands with her.
Faye got out of the elevator ahead of him.
Colin walked slowly behind her, taking his time, and watched her open her room.
As she was about to enter the room, she turned to look at Colin. "I won't have dinner."
"Okay." Colin replied with a smile, knowing Faye was on her guard against him, being afraid that they would do something they shouldn't have.
In her room, Faye stood against the door, a frown creasing her forehead, because there was an indescribable feeling lingering in her heart, making her feel uneasy.
In the other room, Colin got a call from Abbot right after he entered.
"Where have you been? Colin," Abbot asked with a teasing tone.
Walking to the french window, Colin lit up a cigarette. "The temple."
Hearing that, Abbot took on a more serious tone. "How's your mother doing?"
"Hum! You should call her Nanny Silent," Colin said sarcastically.
Abbot sighed. "After all these years, you shouldn't..."
Colin interrupted, "Cut the crap. Or I'm hanging up."
As his friend for years, Abbot had a good understanding of Colin's bitterness. To avoid pissing him off, Abbot changed the topic. "Did you go there alone?"
