At Stark Industries, Ethan had been discussing potential clients with Lucy and what the prices might work best for the Vanguard and the private jets.
But a part of him was distracted.
The conversation about House Azazel with Ishtar kept circling back, pulling his attention away no matter how hard he tried to focus.
Lucy noticed his attention drift and paused halfway through her statement, tilting her head. "Ethan?"
He blinked, realizing he had lost track of what she was saying. "Sorry, Lucy. I just… there's something I need to take care of."
"Is everything okay?" she asked gently.
"Yeah, it's fine," he said, offering her an apologetic smile. "Can we pick this up later? I promise I'll be more focused."
Lucy nodded, though concern still lingered on her face. "Of course. Take your time."
Ethan left the room and made his way to the main building, until he reached the boardroom where Eduardo liked to work when he was at the company.
