Fang flushed, embarrassed. "Be serious, Pax," he said shyly. "Do you really think that this idea is going to work?"
Pax chuckled. "You know, you could do with a bit of confidence," he said. "Your plan is perfect, and if things go smoothly, you would have earned your first billion within the next six months, all by yourself and independent of the sum of money that is there in your account right now."
Fang choked.
Pax quickly patted his back and handed him a mini bottle of mineral water. Pax was very, very particular about keeping small bottles of mineral water ready in his car all the time. There was a whole pack in the boot of his car, too.
Fang broke the seal on the bottle and drank the entire bottle in one go.
