"She is not going to listen to me, just take her." Jason said gripping his phone, with a sigh, he knew grandma won't listen, even if he tries to stop her from going there, she will be very mad.
"Are you sure?" Austin asked, he was not very happy with Jason's decision, but even he knew, grandma won't listen to anyone.
"Do I have an option?"
Austin didn't say anything, he knew Jason was right, "But what about Claire?" Jason asked, he was sure she won't forget about the lie Austin had told her, "Leave that to me, I will talk her."
"Don't lie to her about anything else." Jason warned, he didn't want to create any misunderstanding. "Aren't you very concerned about what she thinks." Austin said, making Jason roll his eyes, "She is a participant, I don't want any trouble, that's it." Jason said, but he was sure Ausitn didn't believe him.
"Just make sure grandma doesn't do anything." Jason said, Austin hummed and cut the call, Jason was tensed because he knew his grandma was more like Ausitn then him, she always loved to create trouble.

Claire was still worried for Jason's grandma, she couldn't stop thinking about her, "Hey! You don't want to eat?" One of the girls beside Claire asked, they were at the dining hall having their lunch, "I don't feel like eating." Claire said and was going to leave.
"All the ladies! Today we have someone special with us." Phil suddenly announced, Claire was about to get up and was staring at him in confusion, she was shocked to see that Phil was here making an announcement while Jason's grandma was sick.
"Who is it?" A girl asked her name was Lily, she was Sarah's friend, "It is the most important person in Mr. Kenwood's life." Phil said, Claire was now curious 'Who could be more important than his grandma for him?' Claire thought.
"You're talking too much Phil." A sweet voice made Claire turn her head to see a lady, maybe in her late fifties, was walking towards Phil, she was wearing a bright green pencil skirt and top with a blazer.
She had smile on her face, Phil smiled and bowed in front of her, people around her seemed to know her as they were smiling and amazed to see her. "Do you know who she is?" The girl beside Claire asked her, "No." She spoke.
"She is-"
"This is Mrs. Scarlett Kenwood, our Ceo's grandmother." Phil introduced her, making Claire shocked, she was looking absolutely fine, then why did Austin lie, "Hello girls." Austin said walking towards grandma.
He gave her a side hug and kissed her forehead, even though Claire was happy to see Jason's grandma was completely fine, she couldn't understand why Austin lied to her, When Austin looked towards her, she gave him a glare making him evert his eyes.
All the girls were busy talking to her trying their best to impress her, Sarah went towards her with a smile and gave her a hug, "I guess they already know each other." Claire whispered to herself.
"Yes, they do." Austin said, standing beside her, she turned to face him nodded her head, it was silent for some time, when Claire saw everyone were busy, she punched Austin making him groan in pain, holding his stomach.
Claire rolled her eyes at his drama, "Don't act, I'm sure it didn't hurt at all." She told him, he was looking a bit embarrassed, Austin cleared his throat and said, "I know you're mad, but I had a reason to lie. I'm sorry"
Austin said, he couldn't tell her that grandma was the one who asked him to do that, "What was your reason to do something like that?" Claire questioned folding her hands in front of her chest, "I can't tell you that." He replied, Austin was hoping that she understands and don't ask anymore question.
"Why can't you."
"Please don't ask me." Austin pleaded, "Then I have to ask Jason." Claire said, "You d-, Ugh, do ask you wish." Austin said, he knew Claire wasn't going to listen to him. "You're so weird." Claire said, making Austin grin.
"So, you forgive me, right?" Austin asked, Claire gave him a glare and said, "I can't forgive you till I talk to Jason."
"Hello Claire." Scarlett said, standing in front of Claire, she was shocked to see Scarlett standing in front of her with a smile on her face, "H-Hello Mrs. Kenwood." Claire stuttered, while greeting her.
Claire noticed all the other girls had already left, "My god, you're really beautiful." Scarlett said, making Claire blush, "Oh, look at you, feeling shy." Austin teased her.
Scarlett laughed making Claire turn red in embarrassment, "I wanted to meet you since I first saw you have a fight with Sarah." Claire widens her eyes in shock, "I-I wasn't fighting with her." Scarlett just smiled, she was sure Claire was the one who would be the one to win Jason's heart.
"Thats why she is my favorite." Austin said, giving Claire a side hug, earning a light slap from Scarlett. Claire chuckled, Claire wanted to tell her about, how Austin lied about her accident, but she didn't feel like spoiling their relation.
She decided to talk to Jason when he comes, "Claire are you comfortable here?" Scarlett asked, Claire nodded her head, they were sitting in Scarlett's room, Claire was feeling nervous, sitting in her room, Scarlett was treating her differently from other girl's which made her feel it was unfair, but she didn't say anything.
Claire was amazed by her room, all the rooms in this mansion were screaming luxury, but Scarlett's room was on another level, it was more of royalty with luxury, "Are you nervous?" Scarlett asked, "A bit."
They chatted for a bit, then Claire and Scarlett went to the living room, Austin was waiting for grandma to take her home, "I think you get a new friend grandma." Austin said, when he saw them walking towards him.
"Yes, and-"
"Grandma, where were you?" Sarah said, coming towards her, Scarlett smiled, and said "I was just in my room." she said, "I missed you." Sarah said, making Scarlett smile, she knew how Sarah's family is, especially her father, but because of him she never hated Sarah, but that didn't mean she was okay with Sarah being her grandson's choice.
"I missed you too, grandma." Austin heard a voice, he turned towards the door, only to get shocked, Jake was standing in front of him with a smile on his face.
"God, the real trouble." Austin whispered.
