Awestruck

Kyle continued showing Jeremy the ropes until lunchtime, when he led him to the cafeteria. Roger came along with them. They got their trays—they were serving Mexican food today—and sat down together at a table.

A deceptively youthful man with red hair plunked his tray down next to Roger. "What is up, my dudes? Cam ditched me for a business lunch with a potential investor so here I am."

"We're eating with the new guy," he replied. "Introduce yourself, kid."

Jeremy was a bit stunned by this overly casual man who had joined them. It took him a moment to snap out of it.

"Jeremy Ward, nice to meet you."

The other man raised an eyebrow. "You're Jeremy Ward? Interesting. Nice to meet you too; I'm Aiden Quinn."

This guy was one of Aaron Hale's closest associates? Seriously?! He didn't look a day over thirty. How old was he, anyway?
