"Why would you do that Austin!" Jason shouted, he was very much pissed at Austin, how could he do something like that, "It was grandma's order." Austin said, but got a glare in return, while Phil was standing beside Austin silently.
"And what made you help him, Phil?" Jason asked, he was waiting for his reply, tapping his fingers on his desk, "The same, Mr Kenwood." Was all Phil said, Jason couldn't believe, Austin and Phil lied about Grandma's accident, and they even told this lie to Claire, was something that made him angry.
"Do you have any idea when she finds out what will happen?" Jason questioned them, "But we didn't lie entirely." Austin defended, "Grandma did had an accident."
Jason knew Austin was someone who would answer like this, "So tell me what kind of accident?"
"She fell down from her bed in sleep." Austin said, he was trying hard not to laugh, even Phil had a small smile on his face, Jason can't believe what his friend did, he was sure Claire would be worried about his grandma.
Jason sighed, when he got a call from one of the maids, that grandma fell down, without thinking anything he ran home, but when he saw Austin and grandma laughing at one of his jokes, he sighed in relief.
"What did grandma ask you to do?" Jason wanted to know why grandma asked Austin and Phil to lie about her accident, Jason had a frown on his face, even though he knew grandma just lied, the thought of her being in an accident made him feel angry and sad, all the memories from the past flashed in front of his eyes.
"As you know she is keeping an eye on all the girls in the contest." Austin said, making Jason nod, "She was a bit more interested in Claire, so she wanted to know something."
"What did she wanted to know?" Jason asked, "Well she didn't say anything about that." Austin replied, "But..."
"But what?" Jason asked when he saw Austin had a small smile on his face, "Grandma thinks she is perfect for you." Austin said, making Jason roll his eyes, how can she think like that, she just saw Claire for once and she thinks Claire is perfect for him.
Jason chuckled, making Austin shake his head in disappointment, "You don't believe her, do you?"
"No, I don't." Jason said confidently, 'How can you know someone just by looking at them or for something good they did.'
"People have many faces and the real one is always hidden." Jason said, Austin and Phil were just listening to him, they knew whatever they say he will never understand.
"I think I have to tell Claire the truth." Jason said, as he got up from his chair, they were at his company, because he didn't feel like going to the mansion, since he came back from meeting his grandma.
"Grandma's planning to meet the girls." Austin said, making Jason shocked, he glanced at Austin, both of them were looking at each other, Jason gave him a look, 'Please say that's not true.'
Austin just shrugged his shoulder, Jason groaned and sat down on his chair, he knew if she wanted to meet them, she definitely had something in her mind.
"God what is going to happen?" Jason whispered, "There is something more important than that right now." Austin said, getting all serious, when Jason saw him getting stiff, he knew something was going on, so he asked Phil to leave.
"I got a call from John." Austin said, as soon as Jason heard his name, he clenched his fist in anger, He knew this was related to Sarah, "Is it because of her?"
Austin nodded, "He told me warn you."
"That no one should behave like that with his daughter." Jason gritted his teeth, he knew the way he behaved with Sarah was a bit rude, but it was her fault, "He even asked me to warn Claire."
Jason was getting more pissed than he already was, "Why her, it wasn't her fault." Jason stated, he knew how that family can be. "Not only John is a problem, but Jake is also a bit-"
"Don't talk about him." Jason said, leaning backwards on the chair. "Well...I think you don't know he is Claire's friend." Austin said, Jason was just looking at him in confusion, 'so what if he is her friend?' He thought.
When Austin saw Jason was confused, he said, "You know that he likes her, right?" Austin asked, Jason just hummed in response, Austin was a confused to see Jason so calm.
Jason just closed his eyes, trying to calm himself, Jake knew that Jason was on bad terms with his father, but he never interfered between them, but now Jason has gotten an idea that if Jake really likes Claire it will definitely create problems.
"Why don't you try to talk to him." Austin suggested, "I did that last night." Jason said, "Do you call that having a conversation?"
"Yes." Jason said, "And I already told him to stay away from her so don't think a lot about him." Jason told him.
"My friend, to let you know, it was a warning more than a talk." Austin said sarcastically, Jason opened his eyes and glanced at him, "Who's side are you on?"
"Do you even have to ask?"
Jason didn't reply to him, he was already stressed because of all of them, first that John, then the contest, now his grandma wanted to meet the girls and not to forget Jake, all of them were going to make him crazy.
"Why don't we ask Claire about her relation with Jake." Austin suggested, making Jason sigh, he literally forgot to add Claire in the list of people who are capable of giving him a headache, that girl was a bit interesting to him.
She didn't tell him about her past, she doesn't even look interested him and she is from a rich family, so coming here for money might not be her reason, 'So why was she even here?'
