Was Aaron angry about Lacy Knighton? Looking at it from his perspective, he probably thought they were plotting against him together. Graydon would never truly help that boorish woman but Aaron didn't know that.
"If this is about Lacy Knighton, she's just a pawn. Not even a useful one at that. I have no intention of helping her achieve what she wants," he said lazily with a wave of his hand.
"I don't care what you do with that woman. Stay away from my wife."
Graydon sighed. So much for their first interaction going well. Aaron was furious.
"As you wish. I do hope you'll reconsider. We have so much in common; a friendship would benefit both of us."
"Hand the phone back," he said in a deadly tone.
Doing as he was told, Graydon gave the phone back to Keeley, who seemed relieved. She whispered words of comfort that she was fine and would be going home right away into the phone before hanging up.
"Are you happy now?" she asked wearily.
