Dean's back was facing the door, and he could feel the stare that Ace gave him, causing him to turn around and watch as he stared.He did not say anything for a while,just watched Ace as Ace watched his body.Ace followed the traces of water,and didn't even hide the fact that he was staring.
Dean spread his arms and asked,"What do you think?"
"I like what I see."Ace is always straight forward.
"Okay, good.Now may I know why you came up in a hurry and didn't even knock?"
"My apologies, I thought you were still in the bathroom.I thought you needed a towel,but I can see you found one already."
"You like thinking.I saw this was the only towel available,so I used it.I hope you don't mind?"
"No!"He hurriedly replied,"not at all,as long as you don't mind using my towel."He said as he walked to his closet,then came out with a sweat pant."You can put this on while you wait for your clothes."Dean stared at the pants ,then took it,"Don't worry,I haven't worn it yet."
"I never said I did."He replied while putting on the pants.Ace was really admiring the man.Just the short time with him made him know more about Dean.Especially the likeable part of him,but even if he had cons,Ace wouldn't mind,no one is perfect!But Dean looked like someone from a rich generation but is more easy going and calm.
"Shall we head down for breakfast?"Ace asked.Instead of replying,he started walking to the door,and Ace took that as a yes!They walked down the staircase, Dean was leading the way but reached at the base of the stairs and turned to look at Ace,"which way?"
"That way."Ace said, pointing to the right.When they arrived at the dining, the table was already set,but there was no one around.
"Why is it so quite,no house cleaners or chefs?"
"No, only two robots.I like silence in this house."Ace answered.In this house he liked it that way,no noise,just silence.They ate while in a conversation with each other, knowing more about each and sometimes, Dean making jokes that made Ace smile.He enjoyed this atmosphere very much, because he doesn't even remember if he has ever smiled in his life.His life was full of sorrow that he never knew any joy.
"Sir, Enrique contacted.He said he is at the location you sent but the gate cannot open."
"R1, UNLOCK THE GATE!"Ace ordered
"ON YOUR COMMAND SIR!"
Within two minutes, they heard a car engine,"OPEN THE MAIN DOOR."Ace gave another order and as the main door was opened, Enrique walked in with files in his hands.
"On your left,"Ace spoke out, giving directions to Enrique.Enrique followed the directions and ended up in dining hall.He saw two men eating breakfast leisurely,one was his boss and the other he only heard about him but had never seen him, that was his guess was right.
"Morning."Dean greeted causing Ace to be jealous,he wanted to be the only one receiving his greetings,not his assistant.
"Morning too."Enrique answered,then continued,"I didn't know that you like wearing vests,I should'a carried that Hawaiian vest that I saw in your closet!"
Dean turned to him with a warning stare,"I dare you.I really hate it!"That was a vest he received as a gift from someone who claimed had a crush on him.He really felt humiliated,the guy even claimed he hand made it himself!It was really an insult to him.Who could give a vest as a gift.Ace just stared at their conversations silently hoping Dean won't invite the Enrique guy to breakfast and spoil the moment."Did you bring the documents?"
"Yes,."
"Okay,you can start sorting them out."He turned to Ace,"Is there a place we can sit?"
"At the living room."Ace answered.The coaches were also green causing the place to look more of a conversation than a place.
'This house doesn't suit this man's style' Enrique couldn't help but wonder.
"I see you're close to your workers."
Dean answered casually,"not all,a few of them."He looked at his wrist, "Sarah,did you contact the Judge?"
"Yes,she said she will be free at three o'clock,today.She also said she can meet your request only if you agree to get some coffee with her."Sarah gave all the information.
"I'll be busy!"Dean denied.
"Well...I already confirmed with her, tomorrow at eight in the morning,you won't be having any appointment.And your father agreed to it."
"You even asked my father!?"
"No,she asked your father, and your sent the message,so I just had to set the time."After Sarah finished explaining,Dean couldn't deny,the judge really knew how to get him.
"This case will be like an interview, only the judge and Josephine the girl,will show their faces.But if you want your face to be seen, then you say it now."
"No,"Ace replied.
Dean finished eating,the down the cutleries and stood up,"we have enough time to prepare for the case, you can contact your assistant to bring the files that your former lawyer had about the case.If you're busy in the evening then we'll handle the case without you,but it would be better if you participated.This is a two hour case,a very simple one."
Ace looked at Dean and said,"I'll be present.Will you handle the case here or at your office.?"
Dean smiled,then sat on the couch next to Enrique and asked him,"Enrique,is my office ready?"
"They said you can enter your office after two days because of the paint."
"Well,you can handle the case here,it will be better if we're here."Ace quickly said.
"Sarah,you contact Eagle."
The call went through,he took his phone from his pockets and kept close to his ear, waiting for Stan to pick up.Yesterday he had no idea why he had the urge to carry his phone with him to the club.It was something he rarely did.
"Hawk!"was all Stan could say.His nickname is Eagle.
Hawk is Dean's nickname in Europe,"Eagle,what do you have for me?"
"I should be asking you that, aren't you the one who called me?"
"The case is at three o'clock, just as planned."Dean said, with a serious face.
"Did you find her?"Eagle asked.
"Yes,after you gave location,we found she was in the outskirts."Dean said,"that is all.
Eagle recalled something,"I've got an info on the Jamesons.Hawk,be careful,they are on to you,they will be arriving tomorrow."
"Oh,"was all Dean could say.Ace who was a few inches close to Dean, heard it.He was sitting close to him with the excuse of wanting to see the documents.Dean was still focused on the phone.
"Is that all you could say!?Hawk,you should be careful!The last time you almost died,Man!"Eagle was more scared than Hawk.
The Jamesons have been hunting down Dean whenever they get the chance,and now that Dean moved to this country,it will be easier for them.As they say, defending yourself is harder than challenging.But one thing they didn't know was that this is Dean's hometown,"Let them come.If winning a case against them is a sin,then I will commit that sin again.He should wait and watch their brother's death sentence happening in two weeks time, but instead he is hunting me."
Eagle breathed in and out,then said,"okay,but Zeff an Mercy are really worried,they kept on saying I should inform you.Just be careful."
Dean smiled,he was more worried about his workers than himself,he can protect himself,but can they?"Well,tell them I'm fine and they should be careful.This is my homeland,so they can't act recklessly.Okay,forget about the Jamesons, inform all the media about the online case around fifteen minutes to three,and the first three media company to join on time will be able to ask the questions."
"Got it!"
