Alex shook his head, “No. The first time I helped you, you gave me a VIP Breezeworth Hall card. I’d take that as a thank–you.”

“The second time I helped you, you gave me a cheque of thirty million. I’ll consider that even.”

“Therefore, you don’t owe me anything anymore, so please stop thanking me.”
