Claire was speechless as she stared at the beautiful set up in front of her, the terrace of the company was lit up by beautiful fairy lights.
There was a glass table in the middle with two chairs on the opposite side of it, the table was decorated with rose petals and candles.
"Do you like it?" Jason asked, staring at her, he clenched his jaw, regretting that for a split second he forgot why he was here.
'I have to focus!' He reminded himself, Claire smiled at him and replied, "It's beautiful."
Jason smiled at her and walked her towards their table, being a gentleman, he pulled out the chair for her, then he sat on his chair.
"So, what would you like to have?" He asked, "Umm, anything."
Jason nodded his head and replied, "Okay, so for starters how about Caesar salad?" Claire was shocked to hear that, 'How does he know about my favorite salad? Maybe it's a coincidence.' Claire thought.
"Claire, is it okay with you?" Jason asked, making her nod, Jason pressed a button that was on the table and within ten minutes their salad was in front of them, Claire and Jason quietly had their salad.
After that he called for their main dish, when the waiter got their dish, Claire could not stop herself from asking him, "How do you know all my favorite dished?" She wonders pointing towards her favorite dish, chicken fried steak.
"I know a lot about you, but I asked you on a date so I can know your intensions more clearly!" Jason hinted, making her confused, "Intensions?" Claire questioned with a frown on her face, "By intentions I mean, how much you're ready to fight for me." Jason replied. Making her chuckle.
By the time they were done with their dinner, Claire was full, and she couldn't eat anymore but Jason insisted on having a dessert, they had a butterscotch ice-cream. While eating the ice-cream Claire remembered something that she wanted to know about Jason.
She knew that she could find that information online, but she was too lazy to know about someone else. "Jason, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah." Jason said, as he stared at her waiting for her question, she was a bit embarrassed to ask him this, but she didn't want to ask someone else, as they might tell everyone around them, "What is your age?"
First Jason couldn't believe what he was hearing, "I'm sorry, can you please repeat your question, I think I heard wrong!" Claire sighed and said, "No, you heard correct, I'm asking about your age?"
Jason was speechless, he was shocked to see a girl for the first time in his life that was not at all interested in him, she didn't even know his age, "twenty-seven." Jason said sternly, he didn't want to sound rude, but he was pissed.
Claire instantly regretted asking him that, "Oh, I'm twenty-four." Claire blurted trying to lighten the situation, "I already know that." Jason replied, he didn't want to spoil the situation as he has done a lot for the plan.
"So, tell me, how was life before entering the contest?" Jason tried to smile a little, Claire knew he was trying to change the topic and she was glad for that, "Nothing much just going to university, yeah normal life."
"What about your family, friends?" Jason asked, "Umm, my father is always on business trips, and I don't have a mother." Claire said, Jason knew why she said that, but he didn't like how she said, I don't have a mother, she was lucky that she at least had one.
"And I don't have a lot of friends, it's only Jasmine and Jake." Claire said, "Is he only a friend?" Jason asked, she was confused by his question, "What do you mean?"
"I mean to say the last time I saw him he was kind of very protective of you." Jason ran his hand in his hair trying to stay calm, which Claire found very attractive, "I think maybe he likes you!" Jason suggested.
"Who Jake!" Claire was shocked to her that, from the time she has known him he never once made her feel he liked her, even though he knew she had feelings for him, "What makes you think that he likes me."
Jason noticed how she had no idea about what Jake feels for her, "Okay, if you say so." They talked for a bit, suddenly Jason asked, "Would you like to dance?"
"So suddenly." Claire asked, making him shrug his shoulders, "Okay." Jason got up and walked towards her as he was about to take her hand his phone rang, he looked at Claire mumbling a sorry and picked up the call.
"What." He snapped at the person on the other line, "S-Sir theirs a problem here." The employee said, "What happened?" Jason asked, "Sir, Mr. John William is here to meet you."
Jason shoulders went stiff when he heard his name, "Where is Austin?"
"Sir he is with Mr. William."
"Okay inform them I will be there."
Claire was noticing how Jason was looking all serious, he had a murderous look on his face, he came towards her and said, "Claire I'm sorry but I have to go, the driver will drop you."
Saying that he left her sitting alone, Claire didn't know what to feel, should she feel angry or sad because of him, "What a jerk." Claire muttered, as she got up to leave.
Outside the door Phil was standing waiting for her, she smiled at him and both of them walked to the elevator, as they went inside, Claire was deeply in her thoughts when Phil said, "Don't be angry on him he had his reason."
Claire looked at him and sighed, "Whatever his reasons were at least he should have dropped me till the car!" she said, making Phil laugh, "Are you angry because he didn't drop you."
"I-It's not that!" Claire stammered, blushing a bit, "I just want to tell you this Miss. Anderson everyone one had their reasons for doing something even when they know it's wrong,", Phil smiled at her and continued, " like you have your reasons he also has his reasons."
Claire didn't say anything and quietly got out of the elevator.
