Claire just at the door step of his family mansion. She look around and found out more cars and also the unusual appearance car, a Maserati and a few more Black Range Rover.
"It looks like there's more people at home. I hope that this will relate to daddy's business. It might be his friends as I never seen this plat number before.", I murmured to myself. "Ding-dongs", I pressed the door bell. As usual my favour butler opened the door for me and said "Welcome home young mistress William. Let me show you to your room and you may take a rest before dinner served". 'Ok, Alexander and also thank you. Also, why are there many cars at the garage. Is it daddy's friends?", i asked him. "Oh about that, I'm not really sure. What I know is that Master William invited them for dinner and they're in his study right now.", Butler Alexander said.
Claire POV
Let's take rest and get prepared for the dinner later on. It's good to be back in my room. I missed mom. Mmmm…what dress should I choose. This one or this one, sleeveless, ball gown or full sleeve dress. I think… let make it formal since there's other people here…so full sleeve dress.

"It's time to go, Young Mistress William. Are you ready?", asked Butler Alexander. "Yes, how do I look?" I said. " Stunning Young Mistress William", he said with a smile. We head to the main hall and continue walking to the main dining room. He announced my arrival "Master William, Young Mistress William is here". My dad just nodded and smile. I took a sit next to my step sister. I'm shocked to see that the person in front of me is someone i knew. I pretended that I don't know him.
My dad smile when all of us were here and acknowledged us that his close friends is here along with his family. "As everyone is here. Here are Master Arthur , Mistress Arthur and their only son, Ian Arthur. And also,on my right side, is my wife, Mistress William, my daughter, Claire and my youngest daughter ,Lilly. Well, now everyone has known each other. Bon appetite! "My dad said.
I ate the food that served and ask for my favourite juice, the carrot. As usual , i head out the dining room after finished my dine. i accidentally fell on top of someone. What a clumsy I am. I murmured "sorry" and get back on my knee. I tried to get out of the weird atmosphere and walk away , but someone grab my wrist and I faced him.
"Hey, you can't get away from me you know." He said. "Mmm…I'm not. I just get a bit tired." I said. He laughed with a dark look from his face and I felt that I'm absolutely in trouble right now. "What should I do", I asked myself. "Mmm… may you let out my hand, please. It's getting hurt." I said. "Oh really", he said and tightening his grip on my wrist and let it go as soon as he saw my dad.
My dad came towards us with a bright smile. He asked " Ian, how are you? Oh I see , you had meet and get along with my daughter. Well, you may proceed with the topic you talk just now. Don't mind me. I 'll catch up on with your Dad Ian and also make yourself comfortable at home".
"Oh thank you Uncle William. It's a pleasure to speak with your daughter. " Ian Arthur said. He steps forward to me once daddy gone. He smiled and spoke near my ears "I'll see soon honey". With that, my body got electric shocked and I stunned. Once he moved his faced away from my ears, I calmed myself and headed out the living room. I excused myself to my dad and mom and went to my room.
My favourite A.K.A my personal butler knocked my door. As usual, he'll checked on me as I thought he might saw something weird with me today. I just sat on my bad with my iPad on hand once I heard him. I allowed him to enter and he cheered me up with my favourite cookies that my personal maid baked for me. He's the only one who understands me so much aside my maid.
We talked for about an hour about my life since I left home to stay on my own. And he suddenly he asked " what about Young Master Arthur. Do you like him? ". " It's not I like him. Well, he's daddy's friend son. So, nothing much to talk about."I said. "Oh okay, Young mistress. Well, you may talk to me actually about everything as usual. I won't judge you know. " he said. " Yeah, I know. Well there's nothing between me and Ian. We're just friend." I said. "Okay", he said. I said to him " you should be going. I won't want you to delay your work due to me". He just nodded and let me alone with the biscuit he brought in.
