Aaron's meeting with Alistair trying to convince him to promote Bruce hadn't gone all that well so he was not in a good mood when Cameron came into his office.
He knew what was wrong immediately. "No luck?"
"None," Aaron said frostily. "Why he won't promote internally rather than bring in someone new, I'll never know. It doesn't seem like good business sense. Shouldn't you reward the people who serve you well?"
"I think so."
He dismissed Cameron's opinion instantly. Of course he would think that. He directly benefited from Aaron's policy of looking out for loyal employees.
Aaron wasn't seeking validation anyway. He knew his father was a rigid, inflexible man with outdated ideas. He didn't help the company grow nearly as much as Aaron had and yet he was always going on about how amazing his leadership was.
