Chereads / Billionaire's true love / Chapter 32 - Chapter 32

Chapter 32 - Chapter 32

The ride was completely silent the man who picked her up was wearing a black suit and he had a poker face on, he was driving quietly, Claire huffed with a pout on her face and leaned back on the seat carefully, she didn't want her hair to get spoil. Claire was staring out of the window, enjoying the city view.

She glanced at the man and rolled her eyes, she remembers how she tried to initiate a conversation with him, as she was getting bored, but he was not interested, "When will we reach?" Claire asked him, "Fifteen minutes max." Came a short reply.

Claire yawns as her eyes were getting heavy, she was tried sitting in the same position, she didn't realise when she slept.

Claire frowned as she felt someone shaking her making her groan in her sleep, she tried to push the hand away from her shoulder making that person chuckle.

"Wake up Claire." Jason said, a small smile forming on his face, "Go away!" Claire said, as she turned to the other side making Jason chuckle.

It's been ten minutes since Jason was waiting for her to wake up, he was staring at her without realising, he was admiring her, how beautiful she looked in that dress.

"Sir it's getting dark." The driver said, snapping Jason out of his thoughts.

He was thinking how to wake her up, when he remembered her weakness, he didn't want to do this and was quite embarrassed, but they had a date, 'for god's sake Claire how can you sleep!' Jason shook his head in disappointment.

Jason bend down towards Claire's ear and shouted, "Claire theirs a lizard on your shoulder!" Claire screamed loudly, "Where-where is it?" Claire started brushing her hands on her shoulder, Jason was trying his best to hold an expressionless face, the driver beside Jason was shocked to see him behaving like that.

Claire checked everywhere around her but didn't find anything, then she turned to look at Jason and realised that he pranked her, she glared at him, "Why did you do that?" She snapped at him, "Because we have a date, and you were sleeping." Jason replied.

Claire noticed he wasn't wearing a suit as usual, he was wearing a light blue ripped jean, with a white shirt, as its sleeves were rolled up. Claire has never seen someone look so handsome in such simple clothes.

"Are you done checking me out?" Jason asked, making Claire curse herself, she looked away from him, as she saw him smirk at her, she didn't reply to his question, Claire widen her eyes as she remembered she had a date, 'How can I fall asleep.' Claire thought, as she muttered a "Sorry."

"It's okay, come now, it's already getting late." Jason said, as he moved his hand towards her. Claire noticed it was completely dark now, "What time is it?"

Eight o'clock." Jason replied.

Claire was staring at his hand, she was debating with herself whether she should hold his hand or not, she didn't want to offend him, so she held his hand and got out of the car, Claire muttered a small thank you, and smiled at him.

She noticed they were at his company and was confused, "We are having a date here?" Claire asked, "Yeah." Jason replied, Claire was a bit disappointed, but she didn't say anything, as they were walking towards the company, Claire heart was beating crazily as Jason was quite close to her.

Their hands accidently brushed towards each other making Claire feel goosebumps, she was about to pull her hand away when Jason suddenly held her hand, she turned to look at him, but he didn't look at her.

They quietly walked inside the company, Claire expected everyone to stare at them, but to her surprise no one was looking shocked, instead they were greeting Claire and Jason, making her more shocked.

"Are you okay?" Jason asked, when he noticed she was deeply in her thoughts, "Yeah, I'm fine by the way, are we here for the date or you have some work?" Claire asked, "Maybe both." Jason answered as they walked inside the elevator.

Claire was shocked to see they were on the twenty-seventh floor, "How many floor does your company have?"

"Seventy." Jason replied, staring at Claire, he was enjoying her expressions too much, "What! Seventy, wow."

The lift stopped on the thirty-first floor, making Jason confused, he was about to press the button for the last floor when the doors of the elevator opened revealing Austin, standing in front of them.

Jason was looking pissed while Claire was shocked, "Oh, Claire what are you doing here?" Austin said, as he walked inside the elevator, standing beside his friend, "We are on a date!" Jason snapped at him, indicating stop messing around.

Austin ignored his warning as he noticed Jason holding Claire's hand, 'Did he forget he has organised a contest to find a girl and here he is holding her hand!'

"I think you should let go of her hand." Austin whispered in Jason's ear, but Claire heard him and pulled her hand out of his grip, Jason was now fuming in anger, "Stop interfering!" Jason almost shouted.

"I'm trying to help." The elevator's door opened, "You have a lot of work to do, I think you should leave." Jason glared at him, "Hmm, someone is eager to kick me out, alright." Austin said, as he walked out of the elevator, he turned towards Claire and said, "Enjoy your date."

Jason wanted to punch his friend for embarrassing him, he was going to apologise to Claire when he heard his phone vibrate, he checked his phone, showing a text from Austin, 'Now what does he want?'

'Remember you are doing this for the plan, so don't fall for her, even if you fall for her, it will be good, we will be happy.' Jason rolled his eyes, he knew by we, he was talking about himself and grandma.

"Is everything okay?" Claire asked worriedly, Jason was looking quite pissed, "Yeah everything is fine and I'm sorry, A-"

"You don't have to apologise, it's fine." Claire smiled at him, she was tired of waiting, finally the elevator door opened, as they stepped out and walked towards the terrace. There in front of her stood Mr. Phil with a smile on his face.

"I hope you enjoy your date." Phil said and opened the door for them.
