A Tough Nut To Crack

Aaron drummed his fingers impatiently on his thigh during the board meeting. This financial data wasn't new to him and he could be doing better things. Like thinking of what he was going to say when he 'coincidentally' bumped into Keeley later.

Cameron Singleton's gambling skills had been vital in building up the start of his empire. As promised, Aaron hooked him up with a job upon graduation and still had him occasionally fly to gambling hot spots on the weekends, all expenses paid.

Not only was Cameron a financial analyst at Hale Investments, he currently held 5% of Aaron's shares and served as a member of the board. He was the first successful dummy shareholder of four.
