Chapter 0079 Sorry , what were you saying , Darling ? Her frown deepened .<\/p>\n
Im going inside with Matt , she snapped , her eyes dark with anger .<\/p>\n
She turned away and started to walk inside with Matt beside her .<\/p>\n
Ethans face paled when he realized his mistake .<\/p>\n
I think you should go after her , lover boy , I said , folding my arms across my chest .<\/p>\n
He didnt humor me with a response , but he quickly ran after her , attempting to explain himself .<\/p>\n
I shook my head at their retreating backs .<\/p>\n
Why do I get the feeling theres history between the two of you ? Walter asked , turning my attention to him .<\/p>\n
If Gavin saw us talking alone together , he would be furious .<\/p>\n
I honestly thought Walter went back inside while Ethan and I were having that stare down .<\/p>\n
I was surprised and maybe even a little startled to see that he was still here with me .<\/p>\n
Even though I just met him , there was a part of me that trusted Walter .<\/p>\n
But I didnt think I should tell him the truth about Ethan and me because Im not sure how close he was to Irene .<\/p>\n
Telling from what I saw in the parlor earlier , with the two of them laughing and hugging , I would say they are very close .<\/p>\n
Theres not , I lied .<\/p>\n
Hes just Irenes fianc\u00e9 .<\/p>\n
I never really talk to him .<\/p>\n
He cocked his head to the side as if he was trying to read my thoughts and then he nodded , not asking further questions about Ethan and me .<\/p>\n
Im sorry if I made things weird between you and your boss , he told me , kicking the dirt on the ground like he was a small child who just got scolded .<\/p>\n
He can be intense .<\/p>\n
Thats an understatement , I teased .<\/p>\n
You dont need to apologize , Walter .<\/p>\n
You didnt do anything wrong He shrugged and then lifted his gaze to meet mine .<\/p>\n
I hope he didnt scare you away from me though , he said softly .<\/p>\n
I raised my brows at him ; not sure what he meant .<\/p>\n
Wasnt it you that he threatened ? I asked .<\/p>\n
He can take away whatever he wants , Walter murmured .<\/p>\n
I never wanted to be an Alpha .<\/p>\n
Its what my father wanted for me .<\/p>\n
I just want to run my business and continue to expand .<\/p>\n
All the money that I have has been earned by me .<\/p>\n
I am wealthy because of my successes , not because of the Landry fortune .<\/p>\n
Uncle Gavin cant truly take anything away from me .<\/p>\n
I fear thats not true , Walter .<\/p>\n
Hes a Lycan Chairmen and you know the Lycans rule over the werewolf population , I reminded him .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Your uncle has all the power in the world .<\/p>\n
Id like to see him try , Walter murmured , folding his arms across his chest .<\/p>\n
I frowned at him as I went to collect my belongings .<\/p>\n
I grabbed my phone out of my bag to check my text messages , ignoring the weight of Walters gaze on me as I did so .<\/p>\n
I was about to put my phone back in Chapter 0079 my bag when Walters voice stopped me .<\/p>\n
Can I give you my number ? 1 froze and looked at him .<\/p>\n
Is that wise ? I asked him .<\/p>\n
He shrugged .<\/p>\n
Probably not , he said with a sly grin .<\/p>\n
But maybe we could do more training .<\/p>\n
Or something else \u2026 My cheeks burned with heat from his words ; they were not lost on me .<\/p>\n
Something else ? I asked with raised brows .<\/p>\n
He stepped closer to me , and I felt the warmth of his hand on my arm ; it was a nice touch , but it didnt ignite me .<\/p>\n
I glanced up at him through my lashes , waiting for him to continue .<\/p>\n
Id like to maybe take you to dinner sometime , he admitted .<\/p>\n
Ive never met anyone as beautiful as you , Judy , and you are smart , strong , and quick on your feet .<\/p>\n
Let me take you out tonight .<\/p>\n
I stared at him with disbelief ; was he seriously asking me out after his uncle just threatened him and nearly choked him to death ? 1 glanced around , expecting Gavin to appear at any moment .<\/p>\n
Walter took hold of my chin between his thumb and index finger , and he gently moved my head , so I was looking up at him and into his eyes .<\/p>\n
Say yes , he said softly .<\/p>\n
Let me show you how a man treats a woman .<\/p>\n
Let me take you out tonight .<\/p>\n
After a beat of silence , and his face so close to mine that I could practically feel his breath on my lips , I finally whispered , Okay \u2026 yes .<\/p>\n
