All Caden could do was listen and attempt to fit all the puzzle pieces together. If getting close wasn't all Alan wanted, what else was there? What were his goals? He knew Alan wanted Charles sent away for a crime he might, or might not have done, but it didn't really effect Caden until the word Submissive hit his ears.<br/><br/>He couldn't hold back his surprise and shock. If the sight of Alan walking into the office didn't make him feel sick, he was definitely feeling it now. His complexion paled and his eyes turned away from Alan. The new forced him to reach for another drink of whiskey. "It isn't out of the way" he said throwing the next shot of whiskey down his throat. Maybe he should of brought the whole bottle down... He'd be needing it... "I have my ways of getting thing out of people. But the case isn't over. You obviously felt something for your submissive... I understand that. But you've brought a personal matter into my own. I'm sure you can see the problem. You want answers and I have a business case to get through" He wanted this to run as smoothly as possible. But now his head was spinning with whisky and the news he'd been given.<br/><br/>Charles was in for one hell of a ride when he came back. "He'll be back tomorrow at some point. But I'd like to speak with him first if you'll allow it. Whatever you two have going isn't to do with me and I don't want to risk my company being dragged through it. Whatever Charles and I have going has nothing to do with you either. Like I said, he's been good so far. I can't correct the past or his mistakes, but I will try and help. Just let me know your intentions before I agree. I'll need to speak with you both separately to get either side of the story and hopefully we'll realise this is all some big misunderstanding..." he said getting up so he could grab the bottle instead of the little glasses he'd been having. "What of my case? Tell me how you intend to save my company. I have a tight schedule I need to follow..." but really he just wanted to try and crack down Charles and have a proper conversation with him. If the gent cared for him at all surly he could spend a few minuets over the phone... Right? It was obvious that Alan knew the pair had a relationship going, but why? Did the pair use to share a sub?
