Chapter 286 - You sent for me? (1/2)

He jerked a little on his seat when he saw the pictures in the envelope.

''Wh… what is this? '' Claire was standing intimately close with another man in the first picture and in the second, he was kissing her chin and there was a sweet smile on her lips.

His hand on the pictures tightened as rage filled him. He thought she refused the dinners because she didn't like the men he chose for her, but little did he know that there was someone in her life already.

Howard squeezed the photo in his hands till his knuckles turned white.

''Call my daughter home; tell her it's an order. ''

''Yes, sir ''

…

Claire's feet stopped the moment she stepped out of her house; she recognized the men in front of her, they were from the white house.

''What do you want? '' she asked with an irritated tone;

''The president asked us to escort you home; please get into the car ma'am. '' the guard said, pulling open the door beside him. Claire's eyes glanced at the car and then she turned to the guards;

''Tell him I'm busy, will come when I have the time.'' she said and without waiting for their response, she started walking towards her own car.

''It's an order ma'am and we were told to apply force if you do not comply, it'll be to your own best interest if you follow us calmly; ''

Claire stopped in her tracks, shocked and dumbfounded. Did her father think that he was going to force her to talk with him?

She scoffed, even if he locked her up, she won't even bat an eye at him.

Gritting her teeth, she turned to the opened car and got in and the guard slammed the door close.

As they hit the road, she put on her earpiece and called Leo;

''babe, I'm going to the white house, dad sent for me.''

''why? Is there any problem? '' His voice sounded worried;

''No, I don't think so; maybe he just wants to see me since I didn't come to the dinner; ''

''Alright, text me when you're done, love you.''

''yeah, love you too. ''

Claire ended the call and put her phone back into her bag, they drove to the airport and they took her in as though she was some prisoner.  Sighing, she played a song to keep her busy.

When they finally arrived at the white house, Claire walked towards the east wing of the building where her father usually stayed, she didn't want to waste much time here so she wanted to see him immediately and hear whatever he had to say.

Walking into the living room, her eyes searched around. He wasn't there, so she walked straight to his study. Her father was not there too.
