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