As soon as Elliot approached him, Zachary was aware of his presence and turned around to face Elliot with a flattering smile while hiding away his phone. "Elliot, how may I help you?" his tone deceptively courteous as he looked around to see what his useless wife was doing.
Elliot, maintaining his composure, responded, "You look worried Mr. Zachary. Is everything alright?"
Zachary's smile didn't waver, and his response was veiled in polite diplomacy. "Oh, it's nothing. Just some personal matters that required my attention. You know how these business deals are. It's nothing serious."
Elliot knew that there was more to Zachary's action was he was ready to dig in deep into the conversation when Zachary's phone began to ring and he swiftly looked at the caller id and while nodding an apologetic smile at Elliot, he moved to a secluded corner while keeping his eyes on Elliot.
