Claire sighed when she finished explaining him everything, she was sitting on the couch that was in his cabin while he was sitting on his chair, she stared at his cabin with excitement in her eyes, she never came to his cabin before and looking at it made her long-lost dream flash in her eyes.
she told almost everything, why she participated in the contest and what Jake told her about, she was shocked to know about their friendship, because as long as she remembered whenever they saw each other they had a deadly look on their faces, as if they wanted to kill each other.
Claire left out the part about his parents, she was shocked when Jake told her that Jason's parents died because of him, she definitely didn't believe what Jake said, and she couldn't tell him that, "So, that's all?" Jason asked, making her nod.
Jason was listening attentively as Claire explained him everything, "So, you are saying that Jake told you, I was the one who destroyed our friendship for my own selfish motives? Claire nodded. He was relieved knowing that Jake didn't tell her about his parents.
"So, do you forgive me, now?"
"Do you think it's that easy!" He asked, with a frown on his face.
"Listen....if you lie to me, this time I won't spare you!" He warned her, which made her gulp in fear, she knew he was capable of doing anything, Jason stared at her for some time and smirked which made Claire confused.
"What are you thinking about?" She questioned, "I have a deal for you and trust me, it will be beneficial for both of us." Jason replied. "I'm thinking that I will cancel the contest, but you will still get money."
"What do you mean?" Claire was confused, she had no idea what he meant, "I'm suggesting that, why don't you date me!" Jason smirked when he saw the shock on her face. "H-Have you lost your mind?" Claire never thought he would suggest something like this.
"How can you do that? What about the girls participating?" Claire asked the questions, that came in her mind, "To answer your first question, it was me who organised the contest to find someone for me," Jason pointed his finger towards her, "And if I have found her then what is the need for holding the contest anymore."
"And for the other girls, most of them were participating for money just like you." Jason said, "So, if I offer them some money everything will be sorted."
"B-But why do you want to date me?" Claire asked, she was sure he had no feelings for her which did make her feel sad, "It's because I have my reasons, which I can't tell you," Jason was staring at her, "You know that I don't want to date you for real, right?" Claire nodded, she was aware of that.
"I need your help for something and don't worry I will pay you." Jason announced, Claire hated how he always thinks she is after his money, but even if she explains it to him, he won't understand.
"Jason, I know you think I'm behind your money but trust me I'm not, I had my reasons for participating in the contest." Claire said, she hated how he always made her feel like a gold digger.
Jason felt bad for saying that to her, but he knew he wasn't lying it was a fact that she was here for money, so if he was offering her what she wanted, he didn't understand what he did wrong.
He cleared his throat and walked towards her, standing right in front of her, he knitted his eyebrows in confusion and asked her, "Claire, you need money and I need your help, so why are you thinking so much?"
Since he walked towards her, Claire couldn't help but stare at him, she was openly ogling at him while he was standing there in confusion, she was staring at his face, soon her eyes traveled down towards his neck and his perfect body, his body fit suit made him look more handsome than he already was.
Jason tilted his head a little a chuckled at her who was completely lost in staring at him, he was always irritated when any girl would stare at him, but the way Claire was looking at him made him feel good, he wanted her to keep staring at him, but sadly it was more important for him to get his answers.
He snapped his fingers in front of her face making her flinch, Claire saw the smirk on his face which made her turn completely red, she cured herself for losing her mind in front of a handsome man.
"Now, that you are done staring at me will you answer me?" Jason asked, making her feel more embarrassed, "I-I was just thinking about the answer!" Claire tried to defend herself, which she knew she failed miserably. "Yeah, yeah, you surely were."
"I can't Jason," Claire suddenly said, "I don't want to do something like that for money." Claire announced, her answer made Jason shocked he was sure she will say a yes, "And I will leave the contest too." Claire said.
She got up from the couch taking her leave, Jason was dumfounded by her answer, he knew if he wanted to find proofs against that man, he needed Claire's help, so he held her hand stopping her from walking further.
Claire turned around to look at him, she felt tingles in her hands, trying to keep herself calm, she glanced at Jason who had a vulnerable look on his face made her feel bad, "Claire, please I really need your help!" Jason pleaded.
Claire was shocked to see the arrogant guy pleading in front of her, she removed her hand from his grip and asked, "Jason, please try to u-"
"Claire even when I find out you were here just for money, and you were the one who splashed water on me in the party, I didn't say anything." Claire was shocked to hear that he found out about that too.
"Okay, you want me to forgive you right?" Jason asked desperately, Claire nodded, "So, please just date me for some time!"
