Chapter 71

Jason wasn't expecting her to ask him this, he really thought that she didn't remember, "Why do you suddenly ask me that?"

"Because I want to know how she knew about that woman!" Claire said, she thought it would be evident why she was asking him that.

"I know that she was your m-"

"Jason I would appreciate if you don't call her that!" Claire stopped him before he could say any further, she didn't want him to call that woman her mother, she tried to keep her anger in check, Claire did not wish to get angry on Jason.

He understood her situation and said, "Okay I won't call her that, so don't get angry," Jason replied acquiescently, keeping his hand on the steering wheel, as he started the car.

Claire was curious about where he was taking her, but she didn't ask him any questions.

He glanced at her, as she started tapping her foot, he noticed a lot of times that whenever she was nervous or angry, she would start doing that.

"Sarah knows that the woman left you with your father, but she doesn't know more than that." Jason assured her.

"How did she know about this?" Claire wanted to know who told her about this.

"It was someone from her father's team, I tried to find out who it was, but couldn't get any information!" Jason honestly replied, he did try to find that person, but they hid him or her very well.

Claire understood that Sarah's father is definitely someone who has a lot of connections, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get someone's personal information so easily.

Claire glanced at him, "And what do you know?"

"About what?" Jason asked even though he already knew what she was implying to.

"About me, and that woman?"

Jason gazed at her and asked, "And how is that important?" Claire tilted her head playfully and replied, "I just want to know how much you know about me, babe!"

Jason widens his eyes as he heard her, which made his ears turn a shade of red, he turned his face away from her, keeping his eyes on the road as he drives.

"Jason, are you blushing?" Claire questioned, she was looking at him closely, but she couldn't see his face, she bent a bit near him to see his face.

Jason composed himself and stopped the car and turned to face her, their faces were close to each other as their noses were almost touching, Claire was about to move away from him, when Jason held her hand and said, "You should not flirt in this kind of situations, babe!"

Claire didn't say anything and moved away from him, she was blushing, which made him smirk, Claire looked down on her lap.

Her eyes were filled with horror, as she was just in her joggers and her hair were tied in a bun, she didn't even apply any makeup, which made her panic.

"Are you okay? you're looking pale." Jason asked worriedly, he bent his head a little to get a good look of her face.

"Yeah.... I'm fine!" Claire answered, she sounded tense, "You sure? If you want, I can take you to the doctor." Jason suggested.

"No need, I'm fine, but you said we're screwed, can you enlighten me why is that?"

Jason realized that he forgot to tell her about the most important thing for which he came to meet her for.

"About that, aren't you curious where we are going?" He asked as he fasten the speed of the car.

"I'm, but I didn't ask."

"Why?" Jason couldn't help but ask her, "I don't have any particular reason, I Just didn't." Claire was confused because of his question.

"So, can I think that you trust me enough to believe that you're always safe with me?"

Claire gazed at him, who's eyes were fixed on the road.

For the first time she realized that she did trust him, there was enough trust in her for him that she didn't feel the need to ask him where they were going.

"You can think about it like that, now will you tell me what happened?"

Jason nodded, he was torn between feeling happy that she trusted him and guilt, that what will happen when she found about the truth.

"So....the thing is.... grandma found out that I was dating someone!" Jason waited for her reply, but she was quiet, so he further added, "And the thing is I never told her about us,"

"Okay so....um... You are telling me that everyone in your company knew about us," Claire looked at him in disbelief, "Even Austin and Jake's family knew that, but you didn't let your grandmother know about this?"

Jason just nodded, "What? But why?"

"Because I didn't want her to be sad afterwards, what would I have done if she found out we were just in a fake relationship!" Jason said curtly, letting out his concerns.

"God, don't you think she would still feel sad when she found out about this dating thing?"

Jason kept quiet, he chose not to say anything, "Jason you should have told her, in the future we could have told her that we broke up."

"I knew you were smart, so that's why I'm taking you to meet her, and help me out of this." Jason busted the news on her.

"What!" Claire couldn't believe what she heard, "You're taking me to her, what kind of guy you are!" Claire said, horrified after hearing that she was going to meet grandma.

"Look Jason let's find another way I don't think I want to face her right now."

"Sorry Claire, it's too late for that, she ordered me that she wants to meet my girlfriend." Jason replied, he really didn't have any other option.

"Do you mean to say she doesn't know you're dating me?"

"Yes, she doesn't know, I didn't tell her, but she wishes to see the girl."

Claire just sighed deeply, she wasn't even prepared for this, "Can you see how I'm dressed! Do you think these clothes are okay, look my hair and I didn't even apply makeup?" Claire yelled at him for not giving her a heads up.

"First you're looking beautiful, second relax, I will be there with you so don't worry."
