CHAPTER 44
"Oh you guys go, I would wait for Alex," Claire announced. Cory who had been keeping quiet about the whole matter knew something was definitely fishy about things but like always he kept mute.
"Sorry Claire, I want to speak with Ms Jordan. You can go on without me," Alexander informed her.
Feeling dejected, she agreed. "Okay. Bye ma, bye Alex."
She turned around, managing a smile at the other guys, walking towards them.
"Let's go, Claire. We can make a quick stop and have that chocolate ice cream you have always wanted," Cory tried to get her all chirpy again.
It did seem to work a bit, seeing the pleasant smile on her face. "Sure."
Together all three of them filed out of the room, leaving Alex and Jade behind.
Once they were free, Alex smiled at her and got his things. Do you want to stay here or we go out in the open?"
"Whichever one is fine with you, Mr Chase."
