At least Alan for himself together and actually had the mental insight to feel bad once more, “I didn’t meant to imply... or apply pressure.” He whispered before shaking his head, “I’m not upset with you. Just frustrated.” He admitted before he turned to leave to go seek out breakfast. Maybe they could all to do with an injection of caffeine and some time to think about it. He didn’t want to be the bad guy because goddamn it he was the one in the right! That and he also had his professional reputation to worry about and he had a case to win and close out. Now was not the time to let his life go up in flames the way it had for Charles and that drove him to try and get his act together before he saw the other dom that he so resented.<br/><br/>It was a wonder about how Alan didn’t get caught since the moment that Caden went to knock on the door Charles had shifted it open a little taken aback to find his ward awake. “I was just coming to see if you would be willing to get out bed.” He said with an almost amused small smile but it quickly dropped when he noticed how Caden was acting. “You seem very shaken up.” He added thoughtfully trying to understand what was happening and what had waken the boy. He had yet to put together the puzzle pieces that the man that was hounding him was staying in this very house. At time his mind had been so clouded and he had been so eager to rush over to Caden he had failed to notice any of the possible hints and even now it was hard to think clearly.<br/><br/>“I was just about to come have breakfast, I took some sleeping pills last night and the dosage knocked me out more than expected so I was behind schedule but I was hoping to make up for it.” He remarked well aware that he had still been in the right time frame to get to Caden’s bed before it was common for his to rouse. Plus it was one of the trouble areas that the CEO himself had mentioned previously so the change of pattern was a little troubling. If there was one thing that Charles had learned from losing everything was that you had to take one problem at a time and sometimes one day at a time and despite best laid plans everything could still go off the rails. This is what this felt like, preparation that had been undermined and his mind kept going back to the sudden disaster, his leaving, this case. It all felt so intentional but of course there was no proof of anything but life kicking him in the balls yet again.<br/><br/>Charles moved to open the door further wondering if Caden wanted to step into the room and keep his own personal space. “Do you still need help from me to select what to wear?” He offered not sure if their dynamic should change or not since the rules had been shaken up. He had been fairly confident that he knew exactly what he had to offer when he walked into Caden’s life and he still thought the boy needed it. The question was, would he take it?
