At least Charles was rather patient at the door it seemed, it was a late hour and probably as a dom he could have demanded to walk right in without knocking but he chose not to. Maybe he already knew what was happening and didn’t want to see it first hard with his own eyes preferring to stay in denial. Whatever the reasoning there was even a pause when Caden told him to enter but none the less the door clicked open and Alan was long gone wanting to do right by the CEO he had snuck into the bedroom of. Charles stood in the doorway and his expression was fairly neutral for a moment as he took in the scene his eyes scanning the bedroom but his expression looked a bit pained for a moment as he took in the bed and Caden’s current state. He didn’t say anything for a long time as if trying to work up the courage to say something.<br/><br/>“I... I know I said I was getting delayed but I could tell with your attempts to reach me growing more urgent I would have to cut it short.” He swallowed another pause as he glanced down to the flood his hand was still on the doorknob as he was stuck in the entry way. “I didn’t want to talk about these things over the phone or worse by text. I was hoping things could hold up until I got back but it seems... I might have been mistaken.” He glanced up to Caden and a flash of hurt was on his face before it was gone replaced by a mask of indifference. “I know... I can be strict but I didn’t expect you to stray from our arrangement so soon. Not with the way you spoke about your history and your needs.” He sighed once more as if trying to piece together a puzzle. “I want to ask, if what you told me before was... less than truthful.” It was a dangerous question to ask since it could be the kiss of death for a relationship that was supposed to be founded on trust.<br/><br/>Yet right now the questions running through the dom’s head were screaming loud that Caden couldn’t have found someone so quickly, not unless they had been on him beck and call before and if so what was he doing in this picture and how had he been fooled by all this? He had worked himself like a dog to wrap up his business in the hopes to resolving things faster and getting back to building what they had only to come back to well... more uncertainty. Regardless he knew he was hired to make Caden better for the company and if another lover was what was causing problems or was a solution then he couldn’t allow himself to swayed and needed to fix this for pragmatic reasons. At least that’s how he comforted himself as his spine stiffened a bit.
