Despite his best efforts, Alan knew he had pushed too far. It seemed the Charles had already put in some good work on the young man and he could tell the man was valiantly defending the new hire. Oh well. It appeared he would have to work a little harder but he couldn't deny that he loved a challenge his actually lit up a little at seeing the other walk away but with a business card on his desk for his to take. There was always a part of Alan that loved the chance. "I'm not sure I can go into details here but some googling on your new employee's name would say all it needs to. I'm not saying that he isn't loyal and caring about the company as the man is certainly a star maker but it can come with a price." He pointed out casually leaning back in his chair one of the pastries still resting on the table as his watched Caden through half-lidded eyes.<br/><br/>He just hoped that he had done the right thing in approaching now and signaling that he was no stranger and knew things about both parties. As far as charges and accusation that Caden could toss his way that scared him a lot less, after all, he was a lawyer and thus knew his way around the system. He smiled as the little kitten skirted away and back to hide in the big house of safety he had built for himself. But he was going to get a surprise soon enough whenever he got back into the office. For today Alan let things be quiet as he backed off to see what reaction his statements caused in the young man.<br/><br/>Charles on his end was busier than he anticipated he was only able to check his phone a few times since the morning able to see the photo and the way that this little lost puppy sent. It caused the shadow of a smile as he thought about just how good the other was being and maybe he could think up some sort of reward for tonight if he had just a moment to breath. He didn't like to be ambushed with all these factors he couldn't control and he wasn't able to answer any calls and barely any texts IF Caden did try to reach him.
