Chapter 55 - Going All Out
The older gentleman looked at the young and naive man behind the desk, "What\'s your name son?"
Jace glanced at the older gentleman who he knew to be Mr Joseph Davis, Dean Davis\'s grandfather. He had the same aura and authority. Jace gulped and replied, "Jace sir." He was intimated by this man.
Joseph Davis smiled, "Tell me everything about that young lady."
This information was classified. Cerulean Condominium had strict rules and procedures and giving out any information on residents would result in his dismissal.
Joseph Davis sighed and waved his hand at Jace, he saw the young man\'s inner struggle. "Never mind, just let my grandson know that I am here."
Jace felt instant relief and then scratched his nose, "Unfortunately I cannot, Mr Davis left early this morning and I am unsure how to reach him for you."
Of course the as his grandfather he knew where his grandson would be, at work on a beautiful Saturday morning. He sighed he should be winning that young girls heart not working. If he wanted to make him proud he should bring him a granddaughter home to him not a multi billion company.
Seeing his butler waiting for him Joseph Davis left the coffees and muffins with Jace and strode out of the condominium to his awaiting car.
Jace breathed a sigh of relief, these people didn\'t know how much energy he had to use just to keep standing in their presence. He felt his knees wobble and he sat down behind his desk. He watched as Joseph Davis car left and wiped his brow. Maybe he should get a new job he thought.
Meanwhile, Dean was in his office but he was not working, no he had other important matters. He and Casey sat on his sofa both held a cup of coffee while they waited. Dean was wearing a white shirt and black trousers.
Casey was dressed more casually in blue jeans and a plain white t-shirt.
Both men were elites, the two most wanted bachelors in the City. But both were hopelessly in love unbeknownst to the entire City.
Casey sipped the strong coffee and commented to his friend, "You really are going all out." Casey mentioned this only because he had never seen his friend prepare so hard for anything. Wasn\'t this just a date?
Dean gave off a dry laugh, "When you find the one nothing should stop you." Dean thought his comment was ridiculous, who wouldn\'t go all out? This had to be perfect.
Casey had no reply to that, he himself tried for six months to get a date with Michael and when he did he too had pulled out all the stops. He knew the feeling of anticipation and hope his friend now had, he looked at his friend and cheerfully smiled. April was an excellent influence on his stoic and usually quiet friend.

Oliver opened the door and rails of clothing were quickly wheeled in one by one. Designers had gotten the information from Oliver only yesterday and they had all rallied to bring their best bespoke pieces to Dean Davis, they all hoped to be picked.
The designers one by one started to show of their pieces to Dean. Seeing no response if their clothing was to his liking or not they would one by one step back and allow the next designer to show off a few pieces.
This continued for some time and the designers were awaiting the final decision as they would if they stood before King Yama\'s judgement.
Casey checked the time, they had been there for over three hours and his friend had not uttered one comment. Occasionally he would get up and inspect a piece of clothing but then he would sit back down again. Casey sighed, he had had enough coffee and enough of sitting around waiting on his friend to choose an outfit.
"Seriously it\'s one outfit, go with the sapphire blue suit or the..." Seeing his friend stand he felt relief that it would be over soon. Who took this long to choose an outfit for a date.
The designers all huddled together now in the corner afraid that their worl was lacking and inferior.
Oliver saw this and told the designers to go take a short break while Dean choose. They then all scurried quickly out of the office as if hellhounds chased them to which Oliver and Casey wished that they could join them.
Dean held the sapphire blue suit in his hand and inspected the detail and he wondered why anything wasn\'t special enough to wear on his first date with April.

The door opened wide and all heads turned in that direction. Micheal walked in, he wore white skinny jeans, a baby blue sweatshirt and converse. He gave all three a friendly smile, "Good afternoon everyone!" He greeted as he then sat beside Casey on the leather sofa.
"Hey honey!" Micheal winked at Casey and then he set a black shopping bag on the table it was from a boutique from the mall. It was of course a limited edition brand and was very expensive. Michael knew he had to pull out all the stops for his April and friend Deans big date.
Casey looked at the bag and asked, "Luv Did you go shopping?"
"Yes I bought one outfit for Dean and one for April, she already has hers." Micheal felt very sure snd smug with his choice.
Dean put the suit back and approached the coffee table. He took the items out one by one and furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, "Em, Are you sure?"
Michael winked at him, "I\'m sure and you will be matching."
Deans lips curved up slightly at hearing Micheal\'s response "Well why didn\'t you show me this first."
Casey put his head back on the sofa, he felt relief and also regret in his heart. He had wasted three hours when all he had to do would be to text his amazing boyfriend for back up.
