hearing the knock on the door Claire was confused 'Who can it be?' She opened the door only to see an angry Jason, he was glaring at her, making her gulp in fear. 'Why is he angry?' Claire thought she gripped the door handle that she was holding.
Jason was still standing there without saying anything with a glare on his face, making Claire frown, she wanted to ask him why he was here, but she couldn't form any words.
Jason gritted his teeth when he saw Claire was standing in front of him blocking his way, "Will you move so I can come inside!" He snapped at her making her flinch.
Claire was shocked, she couldn't believe Jason could be this rude, she moved aside to let him in, "W-Why are you here?" She stammered, Jason was trying his best not to scare her because he knew he needed her more then she needs money.
"I'm here to ask you, why can't you go on a date with me?" Jason asked, Claire didn't know what to say, she took a deep breath and decided to be honest with him, "Jason the truth is..."
"I'm not a thing that you can use whenever you want, not only me all the girls who are participating, you can't act like you own us, and one more think don't ever talk to me like that." Claire blurted, making Jason stunt, he understood she was talking about what he said at the dining table, he realised what he said was wrong, but he wasn't going to accept it.
"I didn't mean it like that." Jason said, his anger calmed a bit, but the truth was since Jason has found out that Claire was here for money, he was sure that she is a gold digger, but he needed her help and for that she has to stay here.
"I just wanted to make them understand that I might also go with them!" He explained, making Claire nod her head, "So, will you go with me?"
"Claire was staring at him, and then she asked, "Why do you want to go on a date with me?"
Jason widens his eyes at her question, he wasn't prepared to answer that, "B-Because I know some girls who are participating but I want to know you too!" Jason told her, and it was kind of true, he knew Sarah and some of the girls, because they have always been around him.
"Can I get some time to think about it?" Claire asked, Jason frowned at her request, but he knew he shouldn't force her, so he replied, "Okay, I'm giving you an hour after that I will send someone to pick you up, if you don't want to go then you can send him away!" Jason said, "An hour, I guess I have a lot of time to think." Claire said sarcastically, making a smile form on Jason's face.
Claire agreed because she didn't have any other choice, after their conversation Jason left for a meeting, on his way out he saw everyone was staring at him, making him glare at them, he went towards his car when he saw Austin leaning on the car with a smirk on his face.
"What!" Jason asked getting irritated by his constant smirk, "Why are you suddenly mad, you were smiling a lot while talking to her." Austin teased him, "S-Smiling and were you listening to our conversation?" Jason yelled.
"It's not my fault that you left the door open." Austin said, with a sheepish smile on his face, Jason was pissed at him, but he knew it was their fault, so he shut his mouth and pushed Austin aside and sat in the car.
Austin also sat inside, "Jason be honest with me do you like Claire?" Suddenly Austin asked, making Jason roll his eyes at him, "What makes you think that."
"A lot of things," Austin replied, "You smile a lot with her, then you are very calm with her which you are only with grandma, then you have started to talk a lot nowadays." Austin spoke in one breath, Jason was shocked to hear that, he realised that whatever Austin said, was kind of true, "I'm only doing this for the plan." Jason said, "Are you sure?" Jason nodded his head, with a glare making Austin shut his mouth,
On the other side Claire was nervously pacing in her room, she glanced at the clock in the room and panicked, Jason has given her an hour and fifteen minutes already passed, she didn't know what to do so she decided to call her only friend, "J, I need your help!" She shouted.
"Okay, you need my help but why are you shouting?" Jasmine said, rubbing her ear, Claire explained her everything, "So, tell me what I should do?" Claire asked, "First stop panicking and take a deep breath."
Claire did as Jasmine explained, "Now, tell me why you are participating in the contest?" Jasmine asked, making Claire confused, "What do you mean, you know the reason." Claire replied, "Tell me." Jasmine insisted, "Uh, for money."
"Right, for money so if you upset the guy for whom this whole contest thing is happening, do you think you will be able to stay there for a long time!" Jasmine explained, Claire understood what Jasmine was trying to say, "Thank you J."
Jasmine hummed, after that Claire hung up the call and decided to go on the date, she chooses a bodycon black dress with a heart shape cut at the front it reached till her knee, she left her hair open, she wore diamond earrings, and took a black purse, she chose black heels. Claire did her makeup she didn't know why but she wanted to look her best.
She was glad that she bought her best clothes and accessories with her, she checked the time, and sighed in relief that she still had twenty minutes left, she went in the balcony and saw the sun was already setting making the sky a shade of orange and pink.
Claire noticed a car entering the mansion and smiled, she walked out of the room and started climbing down the stairs, Claire saw Sarah sitting on the couch with a glare on her face, Claire ignored her and walked out.
She saw a man standing in front of the car, Claire walked towards him and asked, "Are you here to pick me up?" He just nodded his head and opened the door for Claire. Jason smirked when he saw Claire sitting in the car.
