Chapter 0217 Chapter 0217 Gavins POV I stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel , wrapping it around my waste .<\/p>\n
By the time I left the bathroom , Judy wasnt in bed anymore .<\/p>\n
I frowned at the messy bed and glanced around the room ; my brows furrowed .<\/p>\n
I hadnt even realized she was awake I grabbed my clothes and quickly put them on , not bothering to do anything with my wet hair .<\/p>\n
I left the bedroom and went down the stairs , only to see Harper walking around the corner .<\/p>\n
Is Judy in the kitchen ? I asked as I adjusted my shirt into my pants .<\/p>\n
Harper glanced up at me with a frown .<\/p>\n
No , Alpha .<\/p>\n
She said she had to get to school early this morning and left , Harper explained , halting my steps .<\/p>\n
I turned to look at her , my eyes narrowed .<\/p>\n
She left ? Yes , sir , Harper answered before she turned and hurried away .<\/p>\n
A low growl escaped my throat ; how could Judy just leave like that ? She didnt even say anything to me about it .<\/p>\n
I wondered if she mentioned something to that Chester character .<\/p>\n
I couldnt stand Chester ; Im not sure why Ive kept him around .<\/p>\n
Hes always been like this \u2026 a flirt .<\/p>\n
He cares more about making the women around him melt than he does his actual job .<\/p>\n
Even though I had to admit , he was pretty good at his job too .<\/p>\n
His food was always delicious , and it was the one thing I looked forward to when I came to this section of the pack .<\/p>\n
Well , it wasnt until Judy started to live here .<\/p>\n
The kitchen smelled amazing when I walked in and I wasnt surprised to see Chester behind the counter , cooking away and making his kitchen aids chuckle with his witty banter and smooth words .<\/p>\n
I rolled my eyes .<\/p>\n
Stop flirting with your coworkers , I said as I walked in , making him freeze .<\/p>\n
When he glanced over his shoulder at me , he flashed me a smile .<\/p>\n
Sorry , Alpha .<\/p>\n
I cant help myself .<\/p>\n
Maybe you shouldnt have hired such beautiful women to work for you , he said , winking .<\/p>\n
I rolled my eyes , knowing exactly what he was doing ; made the women in the kitchen swoon and their knees buckle .<\/p>\n
I dont pay you to flirt , I muttered , sitting at the counter .<\/p>\n
I hired you to cook .<\/p>\n
Cant I do both ? He asked .<\/p>\n
Don Dont you have a thing with Harper ? I asked , narrowing my eyes , and making him frown .<\/p>\n
Im sure he wasnt expecting I would know about that make it a point to know everything about Chapter 0212 everything .<\/p>\n
I see the way Harper looked at him and on more than one occasion I would hear them in the supply closet , or in his bedroom while I was walking by .<\/p>\n
I also noticed the glant hickey Harper was sporting \u2026 I wasnt an idiot .<\/p>\n
We are friends with benefits , he murmured .<\/p>\n
She knows what this is \u2026 I didnt believe him ; if the way Harper looked at him on the daily was any indication , I would think she was head over heels in love with the fool .<\/p>\n
He was brealding her heart and soon , she would probably quit because working in the same space as someone who broke your heart is nearly impossible .<\/p>\n
I shook my head at him .<\/p>\n
This is why you dont mess with your coworkers , I muttered .<\/p>\n
He looked a bit awkward , but he said nothing more as he turned away and finished cooking breakfast .<\/p>\n
He plated the food and slid it across the counter and into my direction .<\/p>\n
Is Judy coming down soon ? He asked .noveldrama<\/p>\n
I frowned and shook my head ; I thought he would have known she left already .<\/p>\n
I guess I got the answer to my question .<\/p>\n
Nok , she left early this morning , I answered .<\/p>\n
He stared at me blankly for a moment .<\/p>\n
Without any food ? He asked .<\/p>\n
Why would she leave so quickly without even saying good morning to me ? That doesnt sound like her .<\/p>\n
Harper said she had to get to school early and was running late or something , I said , taking a bite of the food .<\/p>\n
It was delicious and I hated how good it was ; but damn it , he was phenomenal at his job .<\/p>\n
She spoke to Harper and not me ? Chester asked , sounding offended .<\/p>\n
Yes , I answered .<\/p>\n
She is her handmaiden after all .<\/p>\n
You are only her chef .<\/p>\n
She doesnt need to report to you .<\/p>\n
Chester folded his arms around his chest and stared at me .<\/p>\n
Well , seeming you got this information from Harper , think its safe to assume she didnt tell you .<\/p>\n
either , Alpha , he retorted .<\/p>\n
I glanced up at him and saw that he was smirking .<\/p>\n
Normally I would have ripped someones head off for speaking to me like this , but honestly , Chester sort of made me laugh .<\/p>\n
I wasnt going to show it though , so I bit the inside of my cheek and glared at him .<\/p>\n
After a moment , he cleared his throat and pointed at the sink .<\/p>\n
I should probably clean those , he said awkwardly .<\/p>\n
You think ? I nearly barked .<\/p>\n
The second he turned his back , I let my guard down and smiled , shaking my head .<\/p>\n
After I finished eating , I left the mansion to go straight to my Villa .<\/p>\n
The filming should be wrapped up Chapter 0217 any day now and Ill finally have that space to myself again .<\/p>\n
I had been avoiding Skyla ever since she kissed me and let the press think something was going on between us .<\/p>\n
I called the press after the news story was released and demanded that they take the story down .<\/p>\n
I was furious when I saw it but it didnt matter now ; it was over and done with .<\/p>\n
I let them have the space and I spend most of my time at the mansion with Judy , or in my office .<\/p>\n
