Jack walks through the front doors, patent lather shoes tapping the black marble floors as he heads to the elevator.

It was quite shocking to discover that Dave was gay. Why though? Dave was a good looking guy, he should be able to get a woman easily. He sighs.

"Maybe I should lead him to the right way"

The metal doors slide open and he sees Victoria standing there, shades covering her eyes.

"Miss Victoria"

She smiles.

"Jack, walk with me"

He nods and follows her to her office.

"Dave told me what happened yesterday"

"Oh? Is he willing to change?"

Victoria sits on her chair and sighs.

"Jack...if you cannot accept gay people for who they are then I don't think this industry is for you"

Jack frowns.

"But why?"

"Most famous designers are LGBTQI+ and you being....disrespectful to them might sabotage our company"

"So you want me to change myself  to be accepted? Why?"

Victoria looks at him. Was this man serious?

"Don't you see your hypocrisy? You don't want to change yourself in order to fit in but you want Dave to do so?"

He sighs. This was a complex situation.

"Look, I'll try to accept Dave but that doesn't mean I agree with his....lifestyle"

"No problem and don't ever and I mean EVER say what to said to Dave to anyone else. You'll get in trouble"

He nods. Taking her words in.

"Noted"

•°• ✾ •°•

"Make up!"

He sighs as the makeup artist powders his face. Dave is a part time model, his main career is philanthropy. He is well known for his charity works and his modelling paychecks fuel that passion of his, although his main source of funds is from his pocket.

"Wind machine, Dave you ready?"

"Yeah"

The camera starts flicking as he his body turns in different poses. His mind however was in that ice cream shop, replaying the whole scene with Jack.

"That's a wrap"

Dave nods and walks to his dressing room, sighing as Victoria calls but he ignores it.

"Not now Auntie" he murmurs.

Why did Jack say that to him? This man was turning to be a monster by each passing day.

Knock.knock

He sighs.

"Come in"

The door opens and a man walks in. Dave couldn't help but feel mesmerised by this man's green eyes.

"Dave Montgomery?"

He blinks.

"Heh? Oh yes, it's me"

The man smiles.

"It's me, John Norton"

He gasps.

"John? Oh my God you've changed so much!"

John Norton, the 18th heir of the Sprite soft drink dynasty. The two met at a model agency casting and Dave got the job while John didn't, they haven't met since before John's liposuction.

"Wow, you're so....stylish now" Dave says, looking at the man's royal blue suit.

"Oh thanks, I see you're still modelling"

"Mhm...I'm just a part timer now"

"Ohh good, then you'll be able to come with me for a fashion show"

"Oh! Sounds fun. Where and when is it?"

"In three hours and it's in paris"

He gasps.

"I have to pack then"

John then laughs.

"You're already packed, your credit card is there for a reason"

Huh....he never thought of it like that.

"Okay let's go"

•°• ✾ •°•

Jack sighed, eyes closing once the plane took off, Victoria had sent him to paris to take notes on a fashion show.

"What did you say?"

He gulped and he kept his gaze on the floor.

"I....I'm gay"

He received a harsh slap, he fell to his knees and prostrated himself to his father.

"I'm sorry I disappointed you!"

The man scoffed.

"From this day forth, you seize to be my son. You're dead to me"

He flinches when he received a tap on the shoudler.

"We have arrived sir"

He rubs his eyes and nods.

"Thanks"

He gets off the plane and a car was already waiting for him right there. He gets in and they head over to the hotel.

"Why am I having these dreams again? Is it because of what Dave told me?"

They arrive at the hotel in minutes, he gets out and takes his bag out of the trunk before heading inside.

Two minutes later, A limousine stops behind Jack's rental and two people step out, Dave and John.

"This is going to be so much fun!" Dave sighed happily. He needed that distraction from what Jack told him.

"You're going to have the best time of your life" John says as they head inside.

•°• ✾ •°•

"Remember to take photos of the designs"

"Yes ma'am"

"Okay I'll leave you to it. After the job is done, you can spend an extra day there"

"Thanks...I'll see you then"

He hangs up and sits on the bed then scrolls through his phone. Sighing in relief as the rumors of him and Dave had stopped.

"Hopefully we can go back to normal. When I return, I should apologise to Dave"

Across from his suite, Dave and John were busy going through their shopping bags to choose their outfits.

"I know how you like Versace so I'm happy we went there first"

Dave smiles and pulls out a 2020 summer look. The fishnet top and sparkling blazer and pants made him smile.

"This is the one"

•°• ✾ •°•

Jack puts on a royal blue armani suit, brown leather shoes and a Tommy Hilfiger watch. He chuckles. This was the watch Dave said he didn't like, the manager had forced Jack to buy it.

He grabs his murse and heads out of the room. A minute later, John and Dave step out, matching outfits and everything.

"After the show let's go to a bar and have some shots" John suggested.

"Yeah!"

They rush over to the elevator as the doors were starting to close. Dave gasps when he locked eyes with Jack.

"You?"
