Aaron had called him into his office to discuss the plans to redo all of the cybersecurity for Hale Investments and possibly develop additional software to sell to other high-security institutions. Now the kid looked like he was about to go into shock.

He sighed. He didn't want the kid to get an overinflated ego—he was always going on about being Aaron's favorite—but if he didn't properly express his appreciation at some point, Aiden might get headhunted by someone else or choose to start his own business. He didn't want that to happen.
