————+——++—
"Miss Claire, should we head inside. Miss Claire?" He said. I directly nodes after realising that i was zooming around. I followed him inside and they showed us to a private dining area. The area is spectacular and i think i would be dying to have my lunch here. The waiter is also very nice.
"So? What you want to order? ", He said. "Mmm…i don't know, I'm still thinking", I said. "You don't have to worry about the price.It's on me",he said.
I'm speechless and let him choose everything. He studied the menu and ordered the dressing, the main course and the dessert. My face become as red as tomato once he called my name. "Claire, are you alright?, You keep on silent. Did anything make you feel uncomfortable?",he asked. My stomach suddenly growled a bit loud , however it can only be heard by both of us. He smirked and chuckled. The waiter dropped by and filled up our glass with sky juice and prepared for the arrival of the dishes. Time goes by and the dressing dishes arrived. It's lovely and yeah it's the first time i ate a lot like this since my mom passed away.
"How's the dishes,Miss claire or should i called you Claire?",he said. "Just called me Claire and yeah all these are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for the treat",i said. "You're welcome and here is my business card", he said while holding a black platinum business card. He also waved and the waiter came by with bill. He give Goldeneye Card to him and all paid. We head out and chat for a while. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mr Ian Arthur.Thank you for all the kindness and the treats. I got to go.", i said. " Yes, the pleasure is always mine. No problem. Anything for you Claire. Oh really? Well, I also. See you when i see you.",he said. We parted in front of the restaurant as he get in his car with a hand waved and I give him waved and continue my way to the nearest bookstores.

——++++++————
I headed on the path to my favourite bookstore. The weird thing was i felt that I was being followed. I tend to looked around, but no one there. I walked further ignoring my guts. Finally, i arrived at the bookstore. I accidentally leans against a hard thing. I looked up and our eyes meet. I murmured "sorry" and get back on my knee. He just smiled and nodded.
I found the book i was looking for and about to grabbed it when there was another hand grab it at the same time. Our eyes meet again and he let out her hold and let me have it. Well, that book only have one left. "I'm sorry, do you need this?, you may have it.", he said. "Yes, but it's ok, you also need it right.", i said while trying to give it to him. He refused with his look. "Hi , I am Philip.", he said and we shake hands. "Hi, I am Claire and i think we can shared if you like", i said. He replied " Yes, of course and it will be on me. Is it ok?",he said while taking the book and pay it in front. I was speechless and stunned by his action. Then, he came back and give the book, but before that he write out his phone number on the front page. " You may have it first Claire. Once you finished it, you may give me a call and we can meet up for me to get it.", he said. I agreed with him and yeah he walked me out and we went to a coffee shop as I felt that i need to cleared out my mind for writing my thesis.
"So, what do you do for living," he asked while we headed to he nearest table to have our coffee. " I'm a master student an you're?" I said. " I work at Tipton", he said. " Oh , i see ", i said. He asked me whether i'm available his weekend and suddenly there was a called and I took it. "Young mistress, Master William would like to have a family dinner this weekend, are you available Young Mistress Claire?", " Ok, I will be there.", i said while hung up the phone. He asked again" Are you available Claire?". "I'm sorry, I got occupied with something this weekend. Maybe some other time." ,I said. I looked at my watch and it looks like I needed to head off. He offered me a ride but i don't want. Well, when thinking about the goosebumps that i got earlier, I agreed to him.
