Alistair tried to threaten his son into marrying advantageously (specifically to Lacy Knighton) by not giving him the time off he requested. Aaron reminded him that he hadn't taken any vacations since coming to work at the company and that he could file a report with HR if necessary.
Eventually, his father let him go but he wasn't happy about it. Imagining how much more upset he was going to get when he found out about Kaleb and lost his throne was even better. Aaron walked out of the office feeling oddly light.
Down in the parking garage, he found someone leaned up against his car. It wasn't who he expected.
"Gray, what brings you here? I would have thought you would want nothing to do with this place."
"I don't but you're a difficult person to get a hold of. I wanted to know when you're planning on going out of town."
