Dalton, keenly perceptive, picked up on the lack of warmth in Leo's voice.

For a while now, he had been trying to build a better relationship with Leo. Despite their business collaborations, Leo never seemed particularly interested in deepening their association.

Dalton didn't take offense. He was used to social maneuvering. Besides, at that moment, someone else approached them, pulling his attention away.

Dalton had always been adept at reading people, and he knew when he wasn't welcomed. Still, the indifference from Leo had begun to grate on him, especially since their business collaborations had required more frequent interaction lately.
