Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1309

At that, Jason threw the chief security officer a smug look though he said nothing. Fabian doesn't like my impulsiveness, so it'll be bad if he pursues the matter and tells Dad about this, he mused. "Hmm? Is there a problem?" Fabian questioned as he stared at the chief security officer who remained rooted to the spot.

"N-No, everything will be done as per your orders," the chief security officer hastily reassured.

"Then, snap out of it and prepare a private room for us.

After saying that, Fabian strode away on his long and slender legs, heading toward the private rooms on the second floor while holding Hannah's hand.

"Mr. Jordan, I..."

The server was all regretful, but it was of no use since she had offended someone she shouldn't have messed with.

"Take her away and tell the manager about the matter. Have him handle this," the chief security officer ordered the two men behind him while shaking his head helplessly.

"Fabian, I wasn't acting rashly at all. I was just peeved by someone like her who looks down on other people. Besides, what's wrong with being poor? Even poor people have better manners than that stupid woman. Don't you think so?" Jason instantly explained as soon as they entered the private room, afraid that Fabian would tell his father about that incident.

Fabian naturally saw through him. Deliberately scaring him, he drawled, "Why, are you afraid now? Where was your fear when you got physical earlier? Just because she had no manners, you stooped to her level? Just you wait and see if I don't tell your father about this."

"N-No... Please don't, Fabian."

Upon seeing that, Jason scurried over to him with an ingratiating expression on his face, pouring him tea and serving him.

"This doesn't work on me," Fabian proclaimed solemnly as he took a seat and twisted his head away.

"Hannah, help! Please put in a good word for me."

Jason hastily turned to Hannah at the side for help when he saw Fabian's firm stance. He knew that she was soft-hearted and would definitely intercede for him.

Sure enough, Hannah nodded as she smiled and said, "Jason was indeed a tad too rash, but that server's words were truly insulting, so why don't you let him off this time?"

When Fabian heard that, he tilted his head a fraction yet remained mum. At that, Hannah shrugged to wordlessly inform Jason that she had done her best.

Thus, Jason then hurriedly swung his gaze at Helen with a pleading expression on his face. When Helen saw that, she was rather surprised. It turns out that there are also times when he implores me! However, she truly felt that he hadn't done anything wrong, so she chimed in, "Fabian, that's absolutely true. You weren't there just now, so you didn't hear how nasty the server's words were. Hannah merely chastised her, but she then lambasted Hannah. Even I felt like hitting her. And that was also why Jason stepped forward and slapped her," she narrated with much exaggeration upon realizing that Fabian was most concerned about Hannah.

She had been sharp-witted since young, so her mind worked at warp speed.

The moment Jason heard this, he couldn't help but praise her for her quick thinking. Then, he cast her an approving glance for her lauded idea, and blurted, "That's right, Fabian. Just keep this from my father's knowledge since I was protecting Hannah this time."

Fabian looked at the two of them before glancing at Hannah who had her head hung low and said nary a word. Discerning that it was merely a story they made up to deceive him, mirth flooded Fabian. "I never knew that you two would show such a united front when dealing with an outsider despite your usual bickering."

Knowing that he had seen through her lie, Helen embarrassingly ducked her head. Then, she looked at him and countered, "That's not true, Fabian. You're not an outsider. Besides, that server's words were truly insulting, so you would've definitely gotten physical as well if you were there."

"Exactly! I was merely taking up the cudgels on your behalf, Fabian. Without you there, I was naturally duty-bound to stand out as the only man among them. Don't you agree?"

Of course not! What a load of bullshit! Just admit it if you couldn't control yourself instead of acting all self-righteous! Why are you faking it instead of stopping while you're ahead?
