Chapter 5 MEET AGAIN(2)

Thinking of Reed's sister Jenna, Claire felt a headache coming on.

Jenna had never liked her, and she felt the same way about Jenna too.

Jenna sees her as a gold digger who is after her brother's money, and she sees Jenna as a spoilt brat who has princess syndrome.

But when Claire saw the excitement on Reed's face, she really could not bring herself to say no.

He really likes his sister. And even though Jenna hates her guts, Claire was willing to put up with her for a day because of Reed.

"Alright. It won't be too much to visit on that day. The both of us being there will give the school enough exposure I'm sure" Claire said.

Reed smiled. "Thank you Claire! You are the best!"

........

Few days later

"Daddy ..do we really have to leave?" The four year old Amelia looked up to her father, teary eyed.

She really liked her school and friends. She didn't want to leave.

Trevor bent down so he was facing his daughter at eye level.

"Darling, we have to go. But I promise you, it will be fun! You'll be meeting new friends and getting to know more people!" Trevor said. He knows that leaving at this point is a bit selfish to his daughter, but he really couldn't help himself.

"Daddy are you leaving because of mommy?" Amelia asked. Even though she is only four, she is actually very sensible. She knows that her mommy and daddy have always been fighting.

And then her mommy hasn't been home for the past few days. She could sense that something was wrong.

Trevor looked at his daughter in shock. "Who told you this?" He asked.

Amelia shook her head. "No one told me daddy. I just know. Mommy hasn't come home in days and now you're leaving. Mommy already left us right?" Amelia asked. Her friend told her in school that when her parents are always fighting, one of them is going to leave and never come back one day.

Trevor was suddenly at a loss. He is a business man who is currently the CEO of one of the fifth richest companies in the world . He deals with all kinds of treacherous people all day.

But when faced with innocent questions from his daughter, he really had no idea how to deal with them.

"Baby ...it's not that simple. Mommy and daddy have some issues. But it won't affect you. Don't worry" Trevor said.

"No daddy! That's a big lie! Kate from the kindergarten told me that when parents are fighting, one of them is going to leave and then the other parent will move. Isn't that what happened? You and mommy are always fighting anyway!" Amelia said with a pout.

Trevor sighed. It seems that his fights with Diana had affected Amelia much more than he knew.

"Amelia....do you not want to leave?" Trevor asked. He needs to tread lightly with Amelia.

Since her mother doesn't want to be a mother, he is the one who has to play both roles now.

Amelia shook her head at her father's question. "No daddy, since you want to leave, I'll leave with you!" Amelia said.

Trevor felt chocked up with emotions. He pulled his daughter into a big bear hug. "Oh baby. You will always be daddy's little girl"

......

One hour later, Trevor walked out of his daughter's room.

He picked up his phone and called someone. "Hello Denver. Is everything set up over there?" Trevor asked.

"Yeah! It's all set up. The capital is all too happy to have one of the country's richest men here!" The man on the other side of the phone sounded cheerful.

"Well, that's great" Trevor said.

"Seriously dude, why do you have to move all of a sudden? Does this have anything to do with her?. Seriously, I don't know why you care so much about such a fake person! She....." Denver did not get to finish his words.

"Shut the fuck up you rascal!" Trevor said. He ended the call abruptly.

Trevor stood in his living room staring at nothing in particular.

Is there really no hope for the both of them?

Did thier story end when she left?

.......

Reed and Claire walked into the kindergarten together. Immediately they appeared, the media started taking pictures of them.

"Reed, Claire, what do the both of you think of Jenna's new kindergarten? It's said to only cater to students from from high society. Is this true?" A reporter called out.

"No. Blossom Kindergarten will accept anyone and everyone to it. Please don't spread malicious rumours" Reed said.

"Claire! There are rumours that you don't get along well with your soon to be sister in law. How true is this?" A female reporter called out.

"Claire and I have always been good friends. Who said that we don't get along? I'll sue that person till they are broke!" A sharp voice suddenly called out.

Reed's sister Jenna Hathaway came out to bring her brother and Claire in. She glared sharply at the reporter who had just spoken.

The reporter immediately cowered away.

Jenna gave Claire a big smile before leading the both of them into the kindergarten hall.

Immediately they were inside, Jenna dragged her brother away to meet some people, leaving Claire to fend for herself.

Claire sighed. She was already used to Jenna's attitude.

She pretends to like her in front of everyone and then gives her a bitchy attitude when no one else is looking.

She didn't want to pay attention to the over pampered young lady.

She walked over to the buffet table and started picking out something to hit.

Just then, she felt something or rather someone, tugging on her gown.

Claire looked down. And then there was the most beautiful child looking at her. She had long dark hair with blue eyes.

Those eyes especially reminded her of someone she used to know.

For a split second, Claire actually saw that man in the kid.

She shook her head mentally to get rid of those thoughts.

"Sister....I want to eat that" the kid said and pointed at the little cupcakes.

Claire smiled as she picked up the cake for the child.

Maybe because the girl was over excited, she ended up smearing her face with the cake.

Claire shook her head and then cleaned the child's face with her handkerchief.

Just then, someone called out. "Amelia!".

Claire stood up to look at who had just spoken.

And then, she saw him. The last person she was expecting to see in the capital.

Trevor Jameson.
