Riley was a little taken aback as he felt the slight shift in the room but he couldn’t explain what he was about the atmosphere had changed. Alan kept on smiling though not phased about being put on the spotlight, as a lawyer he was used to getting out of tough situations. “No problem I look forward to getting to know each other better and making sure you vet me as the right person for the job. All Riley could do was nod though as he wasn’t about to tell Caden no, and it was totally reasonable to have the CEO vet who ever they hire. “Just ping me when this is done then. I hope everything goes well.” He added with a small formal nod as he moved swiftly to exit the room. So Alan and him were left one on one to face each other down.<br/><br/>“I would love some coffee, thank you.” He nodded with a smile as he moved to sit down in the seats like he as comfortable and was about to have a pleasant discussion and not be grilled within an inch of his life. “I hope you do know I intend to win this case for your company, I don’t like to play around with my reputation and would like to keep my track record solid. When it comes to court I swear to be utterly professional.” He said flashing a half grin but he made no such promises for outside of the case of course. He knew he had caught Caden off guard and that probably put the CEO in a far more defensive mood.<br/><br/>“So what would you like to review first?” He asked moved his briefcase to his lap to click it open acting like he was here for business as he wasn’t about to launch into their other business unless Caden wanted to. The path crossing was partly intentional and partly good fortune as the young CEO wasn’t actually initially his object of interest so much as the man he was connected with but now that they had intersected he found himself more and more curious on what else they had in common. “I do appreciate you being so invested and interested in your business.”
