The Billionaire that I once Ignored

Chapter 7

After the meeting, Claire went back to her office and think why does her mom make a deal with the Montenegro Empire what is her plan again? This thought won't leave her mind unless she gets an answer from her mom.

When the office hour was done Claire went straight in their home because she wanted to talk to her mom. She can't talk to her in the office cuz of both of them have a busy schedule.

" Good evening Ms. Clarie. The dinner is not yet ready, do you want to have a snack with your wine? " Nana Fel inform me as I went inside the house. Nana Fel is the mayordoma in Montemayor's mansion she's been with them since Mom was a kid.

" It's fine Nana it's too early for a dinner, just give me a wine and bring it to my room " and I continue to walk in. As I enter my room I took a bath to freshen up my mind cuz I can't stop thinking about my Mom's plans if she truly has.

After preparing Claire's wine Nana Fel ask one of the servants to bring it to Claires room.

" If ever you don't hear any response from Ms. Claire after you knock in her room just go inside and put this on her veranda's table." Nana Fel orders their new servant. As the servant arrives in front of Claire's room no one answers her so she went inside as the Mayordoma had told her. Seconds after she put the tray with a bottle of wine and glass, she heard someone at her back.

" Who are you? " she looked at her back and bow after she saw Claire.

" Good evening Madam Claire. I'm Elise the new servant here in the Mansion. I'm sorry if I went in without permission Nana Fel have told me if ever I won't hear a response after I knock on your door I should enter and put the tray in the veranda " She explained without her heads down.

" Your answer is too long I just wanted to know who are you. I can tell that you are a servant here just by looking at your uniform. By the way please don't call me madam i feel like I'm too old when someone calls me madam or mam, just call me Ms. Claire. You can go now and please tell Nana to advise me the moment my Mom arrives. "

" Noted Ms. Claire. " and she went out of the room.

She started to drink when she's already alone in her room. As she drinks her wine she feels happy yet sad in the same way. Alcohol drinks became her best friend after what happened it always brings back the memories of both joyful moments and miserable times, it can also make her numb. I do have a best friend but she's too busy because she was a model and always in a different country and most of the time she is staying in the Philippines. I was born here in Australia and when I was in my 7th year I and my mom live in the Philippines because no one wanted to handle the Montemayor Hotel Philippine branch. Papang is too old to travel back and forth from Australia to the Philippines my uncles don't want to be there cuz they don't want the Philippines that's what they told Papang. My Mom is the only one who accepted it and I can say it's a good choice of mom cuz I've met Alyanna my best friend and King the one I love.

I'm already in the half bottle of my wine when I heard a knock and saw Nana Fel when the door was open.

" Your Mom already arrives and the dinner is already ready, do you want your dinner to be served here or you will eat with your mom? " There are times when I have a spirit of alcohol I use to eat here in my room. I'm avoiding myself to open up the past and burst my tears and anger in front of my mom. I love her so much but I still cannot forget her tricks that she made that make me broken.

" I will eat in the dining Nana Fel. " I stood up and we go down together. When I reach the dining my mom is still not there. I just seated and started to eat I didn't wait for her cuz my stomach started to growl as I see the food. I'm enjoying the food when my mom entered the dining.

" Seeing two plates on the table means you will be eating with somebody and that somebody is me cuz we are the only one who eats at this table. "

" I do know that I will be eating with you so what's with the fuss? "

" You should wait for me it is one of the table manners? Have you forgotten? " I just look at my mom and chuckles.

" Come on mom most of the time I'm not eating with you and you used to eat alone. Have a seat now mom and let's just eat. " She just shook her head and started to eat.

" You have something to say, are you? " Mom breaking the silence.

" I do have but we can talk about it later on after our meal mom. " I'm the first one to finish the meal so I stood up and excuse myself I don't want to gawk while mom's eating.

" I'm done, I'll just wait for you in the library " I make my way and went out to go to the library. I'm hundred percent sure that mom already knows what are we going to talk about. She uses to know almost everything about me. They said that " Mothers knows best " but I'm not sure if that was applied to me or not. She said that it's all for me but she doesn't know it kills me mentally.
