Colin's eyes darkened and he rubbed the cup with an ambiguous expression on his face.
Seeing this, Mr. Blake smiled meaningfully but said nothing.
They had dinner for over two hours.
Mason deliberately slowed down and ordered a mousse cake after dinner.
Faye and Galen were shivering outside the door.
Galen looked inside through the floor-to-ceiling windows many times. When she saw Mason slowly
eating her dessert, her eyes were red with anger, "Ms. Nash, they did it on purpose! They had dessert
after dinner, knowing we are freezing outside."
Compared to Galen's anger, Faye looked very calm. She looked up at the sky and said, "It seems like
it's going to snow."
Galen thought Faye didn't hear her and added, "Mr. Farrell is going too far. He's from the Farrells
anyway, and he doesn't do anything to help you."
Faye turned her head to look at Galen and said softly, "Galen."
Galen was taken aback, "What?"
Faye said, "We're asking others for something, and it's normal for them to be proud."
Galen pursed her lips. Watching Faye's calm face, her anger was somehow soothed, and she
whispered, "Ms. Nash, aren't you angry?"
Faye smiled, "I'm not angry. There's nothing to be angry about. Even if Mr. Blake rejects me today, I'm
not going to be angry. I just feel that I'm incompetent and failed to impress him."
Galen was silent when she heard Faye's words, but she was secretly impressed by Faye's optimism!
Galen was staring at Faye with admiration when suddenly a waiter came out with two cups of hot
coffee in his hand, "Miss Nash, right?"
"Someone asked me to bring you two cups of coffee."
Faye didn't take the coffee and smiled, "Who asked you to send it?"
The waiter pointed to Mr. Blake who was sitting by the window, "That gentleman."
Faye nodded, took the coffee, and drank it in one breath.
After a night of coldness, the hot coffee made her feel warm from the inside out.
Galen did the same. After drinking coffee, she handed the cup back to the waiter and looked at Faye
with a smile, "Our patience pays off."
Faye said, "Yes."
About ten minutes later, Mr. Blake, Colin, and Mason walked out of the shop.
Faye hurried forward with Galen.
Mr. Blake stopped when he saw the two girls. His expression changed from displeased to helpless,
"Young girl, you're really difficult to deal with!" Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Faye pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Blake, thanks for your coffee just now."
Mr. Blake raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced sideways at Colin who was playing with a lighter with
his head down, and vaguely replied, "You've welcome. I couldn't watch you two girls freeze."
Faye didn't notice Mr. Blake's gestures. After expressing her gratitude, she came straight to the point,
"Mr. Blake, I know that one shouldn't be too selfish or force others to do something. What I did today
was indeed a bit abrupt, and I apologize to you, but I still hope you can think about it."
Mr. Blake laughed out loud when he heard Faye's words, "Young girl, do you hear what you say? You
both apologized to me and said that one should not be too selfish, but you also asked me to think about
it. What you said is self-contradictory!"
Faye's attitude was extremely humble, "When I said one shouldn't be too selfish, it was my original
intention. When I asked you to think about it, I did it for my work."
Mr. Blake sneered, "Young girl, you're funny. What's your name? Faye Nash?"
Faye said, "Yes."
Mr. Blake said, "Okay, you can go back. I'll contact you after I think about it."
Faye took out her business card and handed it to Mr. Blake, "Thank you."
Mr. Blake took the business card and glanced at it before he put it in his pocket, "There are not many
young girls like you now. Most of them get angry very easily."
Faye smiled and didn't answer.
Seeing that Mr. Blake's attitude towards Faye had changed, Mason held Colin's arm and complained,
"Mr. Blake, aren't we going? It's cold."
Mr. Blake turned his head when he heard it. He looked at Mason, then turned to look at Faye, and
shook his head, "Young people should be calm and patient."
With that, he nodded slightly at Faye, turned around, and got into the car that was parked on the side of
the road.
Colin and Mason followed closely. When Colin got into the car, he looked up at Mason and motioned
for her to sit in the passenger seat.
Mason pouted and was reluctant in every possible way, but in the end, she didn't refute.
Colin leaned over and got into the car. After he was seated, Mr. Blake leaned over and asked, "Did you
send the coffee?"
Colin's eyes were half-closed, and he didn't answer.
Mr. Blake patted him on the shoulder and said, "You!"
Colin teased, "What's wrong with me?"
Mr. Blake said, "I think Faye is a tough challenge for you."
Colin tilted his head and said, "I've already challenged it and I won."
Mr. Blake was surprised. But on second thought, it made sense. He snorted, "Even if you won, it meant
nothing. I don't think she likes you."
Colin turned to look at Mr. Blake and said, "Old man, no wonder you don't have friends in the show
business."
Mr. Blake was somewhat angry when Colin called him "old man", and he retorted, "You bastard, no
wonder you have slept around, but no one loves you!"
Colin said, "Our friendship is going to end, isn't it?"
Mr. Blake said, "I'm fine. Who wants to be friends with you bastard?"
Colin and Mr. Blake were bickering in the back seat of the car, and Mason was a little unhappy sitting in
the front. Although she couldn't hear what the two were saying, she somehow felt that it had something
to do with Faye.
The driver was Robert. Seeing Mason's stern face, he tried to remain silent as much as possible,
worrying that it would affect him.
When the car arrived at Mr. Blake's house, Mr. Blake angrily opened the door and got out of the car.
They had been arguing all the way, but he didn't win.
Despite his anger, Mr. Blake still remembered that he should be a good host, and asked Colin through
the car window, "Would you like to come down for a cup of coffee, you bastard?"
Colin lowered the window and hooked his fingers at Mr. Blake.
Mr. Blake looked at the smile on his face, thinking that he wanted to apologize, and stepped closer,
"What?"
Colin poked his head out with the collar of his black shirt slightly open, and said, "Go back and think
about it. If you go, I'll book a plane ticket for you."
Mr. Blake was so pissed off by Colin that he laughed, "Are you helping her as a lobbyist? Didn't you say
you didn't know her during the day?"
Colin tapped on the window with his slender fingers and said, "You're thinking too much. I'm worried
that you will change your mind, and I'm trying to find an excuse for you."
Mr. Blake said, "You'd better worry about yourself!"
With that, Mr. Blake turned and left angrily. Robert looked at Colin in the rearview mirror and said, "Mr.
Farrell, where are we going now?"
Colin rubbed his forehead with his fingertips slowly and said, "Send Miss Long to the airport."
