Aaron spent much of the morning in a daze. Cameron called him out on it when he delivered the stock market reports but he refused to tell his friend why. It wasn't his business.
His distraction continued until Alistair dropped by his office. This almost never happened so he was instantly on alert.
"What are you doing here, Father?" he asked flatly.
"Your mother has been hounding me about going shopping with your fiancée. Isn't she back from Europe by now? It's been months."
His "fiancée" was six floors down in this very building going through security footage as they spoke. He couldn't admit that though. He needed to sound convincing.
"She's back in Boston. She has loose ends to wrap up there before coming to New York and doesn't know how long it will take."
Alistair grew colder. "Considering you're supposed to be in love with her, you're certainly taking her absence in stride."
