"All the ladies, please follow me."
Claire was feeling like throwing up because of nervousness, she was finally here, with all these beautiful girls, for the contest. Claire followed behind some girls, who were following Mr Phil, Jason's PA.
Claire saw, how all of them were wearing the best outfits, and she was wearing a simple white knee length dress, with white heels, and her hair were left open.
She was shocked, when she saw there were almost thirty girls here, to participate in the contest, "Did you hear, Sarah Williams is also participating." The girls beside, Claire, were talking, getting her attention.
"Why won't she....", One of the girls said, "She is crazy for him."
Claire was feeling all alone in the crowd, making it hard for her to even walk, but she knew herself, she knew if she believes in herself, she can do anything.
Taking a deep breath, she smiled and walked with confidence. Phil was showing them the mansion, that was going to be their home for five months.
It was a sight to watch, the floor was made up of marble, there was a beautiful green lawn with a fountain with the garden of red roses, she heard that Jason's grandma loved red roses, so all their mansion has a garden of red roses.
The stairs in the mansion were of glass, it was nothing less than a fairytale for Claire, she has never seen something like this in her life, the mansion was so big that more than fifty people can stay here.
suddenly someone bumped into her from behind, making her stumble a bit. Claire turned around only to see a blonde girl with a irritated look on her face, "Move." She said, making Claire a bit stunned, "What?" Claire asked, she was now getting a bit angry, not only she wasn't apologizing, she was acting like it was Claire's fault.
"I said, move you're blocking my way." She replied, with a angry look on her face, Claire was trying her best not to curse at her, Claire hated the most when those spoiled brats think that they are superior than anyone around them.
Claire clenched her fist, trying to control her anger, "You were the one who bumped into me." Claire stated, even though she doesn't want to create a scene for such a small thing, she won't let this girl, think that she is a pushover.
"So, what?" The blonde girl asked with a amused look on her face, "So, Miss how about you apologize." Claire stated, she could hear people around them talking and all of them were watching.
Even the staff were watching, but they didn't interfere, so it was clear to Claire that this girl was from a well known family.
"What, if I don't." She asked, folding her arms in front of her chest, "Then I w-"
"Ladies please stop." Phil said, as he came and stood between them, he definitely didn't want a cat fight on the first day, but he was sure this won't be the end of this drama.
"Oh, Phil, nice timing." The blonde girl said, with a smile on her face, Claire rolled her eyes, anyone who saw the blonde's face can say that she was faking the smile.
"Miss Williams, please, can you go to your room." Phil asked politely, Claire wanted to laugh at her shocked expression, Phil didn't even greet her. She glared at Claire one last time and went towards one of the room.
"Miss Anderson, please follow me, I will take you to your room." Phil said, Claire was a bit suprised that he remembers her name, "Do you know me?" Claire asked, getting a bit curious, Phil gave her a smile and said, "I know all the girls who are participating, that's my job."
"Why didn't you people tell anyone about, what is going to happen in the contest?" Claire asked, she was curious about what test are they going to take or what they have to do.
Phil smiled and said, "That is a suprise for everyone."
Claire nodded, they walked towards a room at the end of the corridor, "This is your room." Phil said with a smile and left, Claire went inside, and was stunned by the interior of the room.
The walls were in a shade of light golden colour, the bed was having a dark wine colour shining comforter and bedsheet, there was a coffee table in the corner of the room.
The room had a balcony with the view of the garden, Claire sat down on the armchair beside the table and saw fifteen messages from Emily and Jasmine.
Claire sighed, she knew they wanted answers, she remembered, how she just texted Jasmine saying that she has something important to do and left from her apartment, leaving some money she had in Jasmine's room.
She sighed, and switched off her phone, she was in no mood to explain them anything right now,
"All of you can rest for now, but all of you have to be present at the breakfast table sharp at eight o'clock."
Claire heard the announcement, she knew from tomorrow there will the real test, she knew she had done almost all the research on Jason, but she also knew the only information available is the one they want the world to know.
She went towards the balcony only to see a small girl playing with a man, who was wearing a black shirt and black pants, she couldn't see his face as his back was towards her but she was sure he was handsome.
'Claire focus', She told herself, she was here for money not for Jason or any other man, she just needs to focus on the contest, and a plan that Jason doesn't recognize her.
But she knew he couldn't just throw her out of the contest for just a small mistake, could he?
Claire's head was getting heavy from all the thinking, so she lied down on the bed and the softness of the bed instantly made her fall asleep.
