Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

Chapter 29 - Was April Shy, Or Was He… Rejected?

Casey watched his loved up friend and was genuinely happy for him. She looked like a fairy out of painting and beside her was her complete opposite if she had fragile, white pure wings Deans would be strong and black.

"I'm sure Dean will like whatever you have in mind. You know Dean here is not frivolous or one to just like anything or anyone... that's why he is waiting for the one before he would enter into a relationship. There aren't many men like that these days. What do you think April?" Casey was smiling as he wanted to give her a good impression of Dean.

April looked at the men waiting for her reply, she bit her lip. They were all handsome and highly capable men and she felt flustered with all of them looking at her, "I am sure once I see the space I will get a feel for what needs to be done as for your personal tastes it may not match mine so again I will need your advice."

April ignored the personal comments that her CEO had made about Dean hoping to escape. She didn't trust as easily now, so how could she let them know that in her heart she no longer believed in love or the one.

"We have all been best friends since our childhood April if Dean has set his heart on something or someone he wouldn't betray or deceive them like some men, on the contrary, he would treat them with care, love and kindness forever," Micheal spoke sincerely hoping to help out his friend.

Meanwhile, Dean rolled his eyes these two idiots were acting like they were his biggest fans. He knew with April's personality she wouldn't get their subtle hints.

April nodded and just listened to Casey and Michael. She knew Micheal had a boyfriend, maybe it was Dean? That could be why he was speaking so highly of him, thinking this she smiled and nodded.

The door opened and a waiter rolled in a trolley he placed down their drinks and food and then left quickly.

April took a sip of the sweet refreshing tea and smiled.

It was a smile Dean wanted to see every day for the rest of his life. He had to keep her family from stealing her cheerful smile.

"April what do you think of a man who would only love his partner, stay true to them and shower them with affection and love?" Micheal asked as he served himself and Casey some food from the dishes in front of them.

April had barely touched her cutlery when she noticed Dean was also piling food on her plate. Was this his way of reciprocating after she has fed him twice?

She looked to Micheal who was still waiting for an answer, "I think whoever his partner may be will be very lucky and happy to be loved that way."

Dean was very happy with her response. Maybe these two lightbulbs were not that bad to keep around.

Casey then added, "April is right!" he nodded his head in agreement. "You have no idea how many girls and boys in the City admire Dean. As long as he's willing, there will be a lot of men and women rushing to marry him."

As his best friend, he had to help him.

April pursed her lips, her expression is dissatisfied. "That's true. Dean, you're a rare talent in our generation. Anyone would presumably admire you."

April was unhappy because she thought that Micheal would have a tough time keeping away many beauties in the future. Dean was a catch, he was the most sought after bachelor and wealthiest man in the City. She felt bad for her friend Micheal.

Not knowing the chaos they had caused by flattering Dean, Casey then continued, " But not to worry no matter how many will chase after Dean he would only have eyes for one person."

Hearing Caseys statement April felt better so she smiled and started to eat happily.

The lunch continued with more flattery and questions. April felt full and worn out after the meal.

Casey and Micheal both saw that the meal had ended so tactfully stood, "My legs feel numb after sitting for too long. We will go pay the bill and head back to the office. Take your time, it was lovely to meet you April."

"Thank you, Micheal and CEO Walker, it was lovely to meet you too." April smiled cheerfully at them both as they walked out together.

Looking at the time on her watch she wanted to get back to the office so she turned to Dean and asked, "Should we..."

"What about you?"

Before she could finish his sentence, Dean had interrupted her.

"Huh? What about me?" Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. She was stunned and could not react in time.

"You said that I'm a rare talent whom anyone would presumably admire. What about you?"

He recited her words expressionlessly, but his eyes deceived him as there was a hint of expectation and uneasiness in them. He waited for her response patiently.

April was stunned. She stared at him blankly and was speechless for a long time. In the restaurant's private room, an awkward atmosphere spread.

After a while, she coughed lightly and stood up. "Im sorry, Dean I have to get back to work so I'll be leaving first."

Then, she disappeared quickly like the wind.

Dean stared in the direction where she left with a gloomy gaze. Was April shy, or was he… rejected?

It's alright. There's still a long way for them both to go.

Outside the restaurant just down the street, April flew past Casey and Micheal as they walked slowly.

Casey and Michael watched her petite figure disappear and then they both turned to face the direction of the restaurant were they saw Dean approach them.

Dean stopped when he saw his friends, he didn't think she would be so fast.

Casey turned and asked his best friend, "What did you say to make April run away in such a hurry?"
