-It's okay. Wait! You leveled up!! Happy Birthday. I hope you had a good one! I feel more sorry for Charles. He went away to deal with a stressful situation and needs to come back to Caden and Alan xD that can't be easy-<br/><br/><br/>Playing was normally always on Caden's mind, but his little spark had deminished somewhere when his eyes opened that day. Charles was gone and he was now faced with all these problems that he didn't know how to fix. He wasn't even sure if he'd see Charles again and to top it off, Alan had stepped in like the big bad wolf wanting to blow his protector away. Nothing was a secret anymore. Alan knew they had some sort of relationship, but Caden wasn't a doormat. He had a spark and knew how to play back against his Doms if he wanted too. It was rare finding someone who knew how to have fun, but he'd landed lucky with Charles...<br/><br/>He listened to Alan and asked a few questions to show he was still paying attention, but he felt completely lost. This bloody company was going to be the death of him. He felt completely defeated, but he was still trying to push through it. But eventually he reached for his whisky glass again and poured a glass just as Alan placed a hand on his neck. The sudden touch felt electrical. It made all his hairs stand on end, but the contact was welcomed and he found himself leaving the drink and relaxing against the touch. "Sorry... I just... Nothing like this has happened before. I've never had a case thrown against me. I want to trust you. The company is like my child... I can't fail it. But I feel like it's slipping through my fingers". He said looking down at his hands that appeared a little fuzzy now that the whisky was setting in. "I have plenty of rooms and staff that will help settle you in. It's getting late, maybe we should head. If you need to collect things from the hotel I can easily get Nick to pop over and collect them?" he offered as he got up and finally finished his glass. How many had he drank now? He'd lost count. But he didn't need to drive and the only play he was going was home. "I'll get companies on my side. There are always ways of making people loyal. But that's a job for tomorrow... Right now I'd like to go home and rest... Show you to your new room for however long this case will be?" he offered picking up his whiskey bottle and walking over to place it back where he'd found it. The cup remained on the table, but the cleaner could deal with it."Nick will be waiting downstairs... Come on. He'll probably talk your ear off in the car. He likes meeting new people". He still remembered how Nick seemed with Charles, he was surprised the giant managed to smooth talk his friend over so politely. Either of them seemed to be people friendly. Caden would rather just staying sheltered in the protection of his own walls at home.
