Chapter 18
Judys POV I should probably get going , I said quickly , pulling my eyes away from Ethan .
Thank you for the opportunity , Alpha.
Perhaps we can exchange numbers so we can discuss my schedule .
I can sign the contract when I return .
Gavin stared down at me for a moment ; his face hard to read .
Adam has your number .
Ill be in touch , he told me .
I nodded and was about to step around him , but Irenes volge stopped me .
Dad , why dont you take Judy home ? I didnt see her car here , Irene said , staring between me and her father .
Its okay , I said quickly .
Ill just call for an Uber- Yes , Ill have my driver take her , Gavin said , interrupting my words .
I met his eyes , surprised by the offer .
Ill accompany you .
Itll give us a chance to talk in the car .
I wanted to protest , but the look he was giving me was almost daring .
I quickly clamped my lips shut and gave him a curt nod , murmuring my thanks .
Then its decided , Irene said with a wide smile , clapping her hands together .
It was very nice to meet you , Judy .
I hope we can get to know one another soon .
I could use some girlfriends .
I forced a smile in her direction and nodded .
The last thing I wanted was to be friends with this woman , but she was being kind , and I didnt want to seem rude , especially in front of my new boss .
I turned my back to them and followed Gavin into the house As we walked through the Villa , we passed Adam who was walking down the large spiral staircase .
He looked stressed and I knew it had to do with a very upset Matt who just got grounded .
He paused when he saw us passing Adam , is the driver still out front ? Gavin asked without even looking at him .
Yes , sir , he answered .
Ill be taking Judy back to her home .
Ill be back later this evening , Gavin told him , Alpha , a voice said from nearby just as we neared the front doon .
I saw the driver from yesterday walking around the corner ; be was holding a small stack of papers in his hands as he approached .
I got the contract you requested , he told him , handing Gavin the papers .
The driver smiled as he looked at me .
Good evening , Mam .
Im Beta Taylor .
Oh ! He was the Beta of the pack .
Now that I was looking at him , he did have the aura and appearance of a Beta .
I smiled politely at him .
Its an honor to meet you , Beta , I said , lowering my head in respect .
We need to go , Gavin said sharply .
I tried my best not to scowl at him ; he didnt have to speak so rudely , I thought to myself .
I kept those thoughts in Chapter 0018 my mind though , not wanting to cause any issues .
I didnt say anything more to Taylor , and he didnt say anything more to me .
He just watched as Gavin pulled me out of his villa and towards the waiting car .
The driver immediately got out and ran around the car , bowing his head at Gavin before opening the back door .
Gavin motioned for me to get in first .
I smiled my thanks to the driver before sliding into the car , Gavin slid in beside me and the driver shut the door .
He ran around to the front and sat in the drivers seat .
Where to , Alpha ? The driver asked .
Take us to the Carter Resort .
1 stared at Gavin , shocked .
I thought you were taking me home , I said , my brows pinched together .
I need to speak with you alone , he told me .
Also , I heard your stomach growl earlier and assumed you were hungry .
It didnt take us long to get to the restaurant resort .
I followed Gavin into the restaurant , and he was immediately greeted by the hostess ; I knew her from when I briefly worked here and from the engagement party .
Nan had the day off today , so I didnt have to worry about her seeing me and asking me a million questions as to why I was there with Gavin .
Good evening , Mr.
Landry , she said with a beaming smil A table for two ? Your favorite booth is available .
Yes , thank you , Gavin said with a nod .
We followed the hostess across the restaurant and towards the booth in the far back , next to the large window that overlooked the harbor .
It had a gorgeous view of the citys nightlife sparkling off the water .
The hostess handed us a couple of menus and then left .
I was expecting Gavin to start talking and tell me why he wanted to talk to me privately , but he remained silent as he looked over the menus .
A few minutes later , a waitress arrived and took our orders .
It was obvious she took a liking to Gavin immediately because she mainly ignored me .
She was too busy batting her lashes and flaunting her hips to notice that I was sitting there .
What would you like to eat ? Gavin asked me , bringing me out of my thoughts .
At that point , the waitress finally turned her attention to me and her dislike was evident .
Ill just take the Cobb salad , I told her , handing her the menu .
Bring us a bottle of wine as well , he ordered .
Right away , she murmured before walking away .
Gavin finally cleared his throat and fixed his attention on me .
ΠΕ .
So , we should discuss what happened earlier , he said , leaning back in his seat as he took me in .
The incident with Ethan .
