"Who knew that the sly Lyna would be outwitted in the end. I guess what goes around comes around, eh?" Jason snickered.
Fabian's eyes narrowed. Is this punk indirectly calling me a sly fox too?
"Alright, you played a crucial role in this matter, so..." Fabian opened his drawer and took out a velveteen box. "This is for you."
Jason's eyes twinkled. What's this? Fabian is rewarding me!
After prying open the delicate box, the first word that slipped out of Jason's lips was, "Huh?"
Inside the box was a watch. Of course, it wasn't any ordinary Swiss watch but a Patek Philippe. Those were highly sought after and worth a great deal of money as they had an exclusive market. However, Jason already owned one.
His feet shifted awkwardly. "Uh, Fabian? Could I maybe... get a different gift?"
"Oh? Are you sure?" Fabian asked.
"Here, take a look at this." Jason extended his arm before Fabian, displaying the equally brilliant Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.
To this, Fabian smiled before saying, "Alright then."
Deep down, Fabian sighed amusedly at the young and unknowing Jason. He then reached out to retrieve the gift.
Just when Jason was about to place the velveteen box into Fabian's palm, he suddenly stopped.
Something's off. How could Fabian not know that I have a Patek Philippe? Unless... there's something unique about this one?
With that thought, his arm recoiled as he said to Fabian, "Nevermind, I'll keep it. How could I refuse after you went through so much trouble to prepare this gift?"
Fabian nodded approvingly at this. "That's my boy. The ninth generation of Patek Philippe is not that easily attainable, after all."
Jason's blood ran cold once those words registered in his head. Holy shit! This is the ninth generation Patek Philippe?
