Jaxon responded with a self-deprecating smirk and denoted, "I'm well aware of that, but I'm afraid it's over for me."
"I beg to differ, Mr. Dane!" Fabian shook his head and asserted with a bright grin because he had made up his mind to do Jaxon a favor. After all, he had nothing to lose. Instead, he might gain a loyal subordinate that could do his biddings in the future.
When Jaxon heard Fabian's reply, his eyes gleamed. He got pumped up and asked, "Are you going to help me?"
"I'm not going to do anything, but I don't mind playing along with you to retrieve the video clip on your behalf. I believe it's not much of a challenge either."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Norton! If you need my help in the future, feel free to approach me! As long as it's within my authority, I'll offer my help without a flinch!”
Jaxon repetitively expressed his gratitude because Fabian offering his aid was something beyond Jaxon's expectation when they were foes a few minutes ago.
Similarly, Fabian was delighted because he was certain Jaxon would remain a loyal aide in the near future. Since he had a perfectly devised plan, he instructed, "Mr. Dane, as long as you..."
"Great! What a brilliant plan! No wonder you're the president of the leading corporation in the country. I'll keep that in mind and act accordingly."
After working out the details, they parted ways.
On his way back, Fabian murmured, "I wonder who has called Jaxon? He has done me quite a favor and saved me a lot of hassle and time."
After the car pulled over in front of his company, he stopped overthinking things and alighted from the car.
As soon as he alighted from the car, Helen and Fabian surrounded him and greeted, "Fabian!"
Fabian was confused by the duo's presence because they seemed to be waiting for him. What can possibly bring them to me? Most importantly, why are they together?
