((I’m tempted to cause drama with Alan and Charles fighting over Caden xD))<br/><br/>Alan could tell that the other had perked up at just the mention of the man which was interesting indeed. He suspected that Caden was attached to the ex-ceo already... which was rather sad since he wasn’t all that terrible on the eye and Alan found himself a little tempted. He munched on the food as he observed the careful way the other examined the ID and made a mental note that the other knew what he was talking about and was careful, which was a good trait. He swallowed after the question of confidence and sipped his drink. “I suppose so, you would have to be my client for that to hold up in court but I’m not planning to air any of the things we have discussed.” He wanted to be honest to the degree that he could be... for now.<br/><br/>“Well Charles does have a bit of an interesting history that came with the previous fall of his company. Mind you this information is public record, but there was a death connected to him which led to problems in his business.” The lawyer said casually, “And as far as stalking you, it’s only to the degree to make sure that someone of his character is monitored and people around him warned about how he is.” There was a hint in Alan’s tone that said that maybe there was something a little more personal about it but he still held a smile. “That and I suspect you might have heard about his... other more non-conventional tastes.” The lawyer added with a bit of caution trying to see if Caden would have any reaction.<br/><br/>He had done a little snooping on the other and had heard some rumors about some of Caden’s more rebellious times as well as the potential for the relationship dynamic that Alan himself enjoyed, but would possibly make things more complicated with Charles. He was well aware that right now showing up like a stranger out of the blue and pushing wasn’t going to earn him much favors but this was about earning trust. “I just want to make sure that no more people get hurt as everyone around Charles and the companies he touches tend to get affected. He can be very charming which I’m sure went a long way with the board and you as well but I have seen enough of the documentation to feel it’s my civic duty to caution.”
