Chapter Thirty two
Together they got to the hotel restaurant and took their seat.
Susan was already eating and she gave them both a sheepish smile.
“Sorry. I couldn’t wait”She apologised as she ate her food.
“It’s okay. You must have been famished”Jack said sending a smile her way.
For a while Claire watched him comparing his smile to the one of Andrew. Andrew smile have always been filled of warmth but his isn’t, she thought as she picked up the menu.
“Is that all? You really should order some more. Mrs Black” Susan said as Claire gave her order to the waiter.
“Susan is right! You should order. Its under the hotel expense”Jack added.
“I will be fine with what I order”Claire replied firmly.
“Don’t tell me you are one of those who do not eat so they wouldn’t gain weight?”Jack asked starring at her.
“Of course not! Mrs Black body is always the same if she eats much or not”Susan answered for her.
“Really?”He questioned and Susan nodded.
“Then it’s your call what you choose to eat. You have been addressing her as Mrs Black. I didn’t know the scholar companion was married. That information wasn’t given. Are you sure your husband isn’t annoyed by this?”He asked starring at Claire.
“He won’t and that’s only because he is dead”Claire replied softly.
“They didn’t give you that info because am a widow”Claire returned and he nodded in silence.
The waiter returning with their order stopped them from further talk.
While they ate. Claire brought up the topic of Susan dorm.
“You gave her the scholarship. So am expecting you to do the right thing by treating her right. The hotel we were taken to was good but the treatment we received was bad. I expect you to change our hotel until you sort out the dorms”Claire stated.
“Fine then. Hotel will be changed and also I will fix the dorm issue right now”He said as he took out his phone, dialling a number.
“The dorm issue have been sorted out. A car will be here to take you tomorrow”He said.
“Wow. You really are the boss”Susan complimented.
“If Susan goes to the dorm tomorrow. Then I will leave tomorrow too. “Claire stated.
“But Mrs Black. You were given a two week leave. You just can’t leave without using it”Susan said.
“Susan is right. Singapore is a place to see. You should use your vacation wisely”Jack chipped in.
“The vacation is not that important. The kids are and have got to go back to them “She replied.
Susan was about to protest again when a blonde, dressed in a short tight fitting gown walk up to their table.
“Jackie darling”She cooed softly.
“Jenny! What a surprise”He said as he got up to give her a hug. A hug which told a lot of things. Claire thought as she watched the two.
“How could you have left. You know the party was just getting started. Brandy and I could have showed you a lot of fun that night”Jenny said.
“But you two were exceptional that night. I had lots of fun thanks to you”he replied caressing her back in a bold way.
Claire held back her distaste. She had wanted to be sure that he isn’t Andrew and he just confirmed that now. She thought.
“Then we can pick up where we left off. Am booked in room 305. Come see me when you finish”She said giving him a wink as she sautered off.
“Am sorry for that”He apologised as he took his seat to continue.
“If you will rather be with her. Then it’s best that we end this meeting soon”Claire offered.
“Don’t worry. Am not in a hurry”he chipped In as he stared at the blonde who was still walking off.
*****************************
“That man is a flirt”Susan said as they both head to the room assigned to them.
“Why do you say that?”Claire asked
“While you were unconscious and I was taken to the restaurant. He had accompanied me and had met a lady who had offered what the blond offered and he accepted, telling her he will see her tonight too”Susan said as they walked through the corridor that led to their suite.
Claire stopped when she saw Jack kissing the blond. They didn’t notice their presence and they were both hot for each other. Still kissing, the blond opened the door and pulled him in.
“He really is a pig!”Susan said as they walked past their door heading to their room.
Claire layed on her bed. Preoccupied by her thoughts.
He looked so much like Andrew but with every behaviour of his, she is very convinced that he isn’t Andrew.
Andrew have always been a gentle man. He wouldn’t ravage a lady on her doorstep like Jack did and besides Andrew wasn’t a playboy.
She could remember a conversation she had with him on that topic and he had made it clear to her that he wouldn’t condone such act.
Jack isn’t Andrew. He is just a look alike. People look like each other. She shouldn’t see Andrew in a guy like Jack. She thought as she took out her phone to stare at her picture with Andrew.
They had taken it the day before he died. She got out of bed and went to stand by the balcony. Enjoying the cool night air.
Tomorrow she would settle things for Susan and leave the hotel in the evening. She wasn’t comfortable here. It would have been better if she could still see the future but that stopped on the day Andrew died.
She didn’t know why and she never tried to know. If only she hadn’t seen the future. Andrew would still be alive and she would have been the one gone.
Feeling sleepy she went back to bed. Hoping morning comes so she could get everything sortted out and leave.
******************************
“Now that you are about to start a new life here. I hope you will do well and become the best”Claire said as she said her goodbye to Susan who was already shedding tears.
” I will become the best”she replied as she fought back her tears.
“Don’t cry. This is a joyous moment for you. Don’t let us ruin it”Claire muttered as she cleaned the tears on her own face.
“I will miss you teacher” she said as she gave Claire a tight hug.
“I will too “Claire replied sadly.
“Hope you will come visit?”Susan asked quickly and Claire nodded in reply.
She stood behind while Susan walked into the school. Waving to her as she disappeared from her view.
Claire got into the waiting car knowing the chauffeur and Jack Bradford will be there.
She didn’t know why he had insisted on accompanying them. She would have preferred it if he didn’t but he had insisted and had been adamant about it.
“Satisfied now?”He asked and she nodded.
“Knowing that Susan will be okay makes me satisfied. Thank you “she said to him.
“Do you still plan to leave today?”He asked and she nodded.
“My suitcase will be waiting for me as soon as I get to the hotel”She replied.
“Since you have made up your mind to leave. I wish you a safe trip”he said as the car stopped in front of the hotel.
She got out and thank him again. She was heading to the reception desk to get her suitcase when some hotel staff ran past her.
“What’s going on?”She heard the receptionist asking her colleague.
“Its Mrs Bradford. She is here”The other replied as they stared at the entrance.
Claire too followed their gaze, wondering who the Mrs Bradford is.
She was shocked to see Lucia Black walking into the hotel. looking chic and sophisticated as always.
How come Lucia is Mrs Bradford. Claire wondered as she watched the mother of her late husband walk by.
