Chapter 12

Claire was trying her best to hide her face, her heart was beating loudly because of fear, Jason was sitting right in front of her, beside Sarah.

She insisted him so much that he couldn't deny her, Claire sighed looking at the delicious food in front of her, she couldn't even enjoy it peacefully.

Jason was chatting with the girl's beside him with a smile, some girls beside her were fuming in jealousy, and his friend was sitting beside her trying to talk to her for the past ten minutes.

"Are you listening to me?" he asked making, Claire sigh, she nodded her head and, and listen to whatever he was trying to make her understand.

When all of them were done with breakfast, they went to the living room, because Jason said he wanted to talk to them about something, Claire was walking towards the living room when she felt a tap on her shoulder, "Leaving without me." Austin said.

Claire rolled her eyes at his drama, "What do you want Mr Austin?" Claire asked, she didn't want to have anyone follow her all the time, "Nothing, I just want to know you, beautiful." Austin replied.

Claire knew he was just flirting with her which she doesn't like at all, "Look I-"

"I think Jason is going to talk about something important, lets go." Austin said pointing towards the living room, Claire nodded her head and followed him, Jason was standing while all the girls were sitting.

Some were sitting on the couch, while some were sitting on the armchair's, Claire couldn't find a place to sit, so she decided to stand behind the couch, "Miss please sit here." Jason said, pointing to a chair in front of him, which she didn't notice.

Claire hesitated a bit, but when she saw all the eyes on her, she decided to sit. Claire sat down on the chair, keeping her gaze on the floor, she knew Jason might think of her as a weirdo but that didn't matter to her.

"So, I wanted to tell you girls about something." Jason said, Claire was listening to him very attentively, "I have decided to give five million to the person...."

Claire lifted her gaze a bit and saw Austin had a smirk on his face, she understood that this was some kind of test, they wanted to know who is here for money, "Whoever is ready to leave from here...right now." Jason said.

No one got up, but there was some excitement in some of their eyes, Claire saw three girls got up and walked towards Jason who was standing with his hands in his pockets.

He tilted his head in a questioning way, wanting to know why they decided to leave, "So, you girls want to leave?" Jason asked them, they nodded their head, Claire was waiting patiently for his answer.

"Then leave." He said showing them the way outside the mansion, "B-But what about the money?" One of the girls asked, Jason chuckled a bit and said, "Why will I give you My money." Claire heard how her emphasized my.

"Take you things and leave, within fifteen minutes." Jason said in a stern voice, making everyone a bit scared, Claire today saw the Jason, she saw at the party, rude and insensitive.

"Phil, get them out of here." Jason said and left from there, the girls who got up were crying but no one could do anything for them.

"They deserve that, they were only behind his money." One of the girls in a green dress said, "Aren't half of you here for his money." Sarah said, looking at Claire.

Claire was quitely listening to them, she knew she was here for money, but not for his money, she has decided to just win the weekly price and then leave.

Claire's phone started ringing, making her sigh it was from Jasmine, Claire decided to attend the call, so she went towards a quite place near the corridor, "Hey." Claire answered only to hear Jasmine shout.

"What the hell Claire, where are you!" Claire knew, if Jasmine is using her name that means she is very angry, "Do you know how worried I was."

"Please first hear me out." Claire pleaded, "First tell me where are you." Jasmine asked, "I can't tell you that right n-." Claire was about to say, when she heard someone whisper, "Hey, beautiful." she turned around just to see Austin with a smile on his face.

"I'll talk to you later." Saying that Claire cut the call, "Yes....what is it this time." Claire asked, but got a smile in return, "I want to know your name."

"Claire Anderson.", Austin hummed and was about to say something when Claire said, "I have something to do."

Claire turned around to leave when she bummed into someone and lost her balance, she fell down, but to her suprise she didn't feel any pain. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

When she felt someone's breathing near her ear, she knew she was on someone, "Will you please get up." She heard a voice, which made her eyes widen in shock, she realised on who she was lying, without looking at that person.

Claire hurriedly got up, fixing her dress, she saw Austin who was trying to control his laugh, she gave him a glare, "God, you're heavy." Jason said, Claire for a second was shocked, but then she turned towards him.

She was a bit angry, that she forgot she was trying to hide from him, "Are you calling me fat?" Claire asked, "No, Miss there is a difference between heavy and fat." Jason replied.

"Whatever." Claire said, and started walking towards her room, when she realised that Jason has now seen her face, but to her suprise he didn't recognise her, "Wait." Jason said, holding her wrist.

Claire turned to look at him, "I think I have seen you somewhere." Jason said, still holding Claire's wrist, "M-Many people think that.... when they see me." Claire stuttered, even she couldn't believe her own lie.

Jason and Austin, were looking at her like she was surely a dumb girl, "Jason." Claire heard, Sarah's voice, and for the first time she was thankful to her, as Jason turn around to look at Sarah who was walking towards them.

Claire took the chance and she freed her wrist from his hand and ran away leaving Jason dumfounded.
