Gerald had attended countless fundraising events but had always managed to be discreet. He usually did not allow the spotlight on him, anonymously donating so people would not talk about him.
He had lived an extreme balance of fame as a celebrated defender of the weak and anonymity throughout his career, hiding his secret life from the world. A life not acceptable to society but a life of wealth and power.
"I am Haley's date for the night." He answered Dani truthfully. He had nothing to hide because he had done nothing wrong.
He could not see anything inappropriate with him dating a single woman. He was a single man, after all. "Why is there a problem with that?" But he could see that this did not sit well with his sister, judging from her stare.
She had that look that said she disapproved of him going out with her friend, like a mother, not liking the boy her daughter was dating. Well, he had news for her. It was not his problem.
Thanks
