Chapter 0378

Judy's POV

I stood shellshocked, staring at the woman in front of me. I glanced at the door number to make sure it was the right door. Maybe in my haste and while I was lost in thought, I accidentally knocked on the right door. But as I glanced at the number, my heart sank.

It was Gavin's room and there was a woman, dressed in nothing but a robe, opening the door.

She tugged her robe a bit more closed as she studied me, a small frown marring her lips when I didn't say anything. I wasn't sure what to say; my entire body felt hot and numb at the same time and my heart was cracking. She was gorgeous and tall like a

supermodel, a dark contrast of difference between us, making me feel sick to my stomach.

"We didn't order room service," she soon said, breaking the silence that was practically consuming us.

"Is Gavin here?" I found myself asking, my coming out as nothing but a whisper. She raised her brows as she studied me even further and then realized crossed her face as she let out a soft laugh.

"He's in the shower," she told me. "He needed to bathe after our night of passion," she added, her cheeks flushing pink, the same shade as mine. Only mine was flushed pink for a different reason. "You're Judy, right?"

I blinked, surprised that she knew my name.

"Uh... yeah," I said, my tone indifferent as I stared around her face. The more I looked at her, the more familiar she started to seem. "Have we met?"

She nodded and bit her lower lip.

"Only briefly when you were out to dinner with him. I thought it was a date, but he told me it was only a business dinner. Congrats on your job working for his family. I'm sure your family could really use the money after everything that happened with them."

Realization dawned on me; I did know who she was. I remembered her that night at the restaurant, but I didn't know that he had spoken to her since.

Daisy Baldwin.

She looked different with her hair down and no makeup on. But she was still beautiful, and her eyes sparkled with something I didn't quite understand.

"Are you okay, sweetheart?" She asked, her concern not genuine...at least it didn't seem like it was. "You look kind of pale," she pointed out.

"I... uhm..." I tried to say, but it felt like my world was closing in around me.

Gavin was seeing someone?

He was with Daisy Baldwin?

Since when?noveldrama

I thought he couldn't stand her. I thought the point of our agreement was to get Daisy and his family off his back.

I thought that's why he wanted me...

I stepped away from the door, feeling embarrassed and lied to all at once. Tears burning in my eyes, and I hated that I was allowing him to affect me like this.

"You are mine, and I always protect what is mine." His words replayed in my head... what did that even mean if he's been sleeping with Daisy too? Was she also his? My heart cracked at the thought and my wolf whimpered from the pain. She also felt dejected

and lied to.

"He doesn't care about you." Ethan's words were replaying in my mind now and I'm starting to think, maybe he was right. Maybe Gavin truly did not care about

me.

Was this all a joke to him?

I felt sick to my stomach.

I was so busy with my inner turmoil, I barely noticed Daisy stepping out of the room, her arms folded across her chest.

“Look, Hun, I don't know what's going on here, but you are kind of dampening the mood. I was having a nice evening with my man and he's about to come out of the shower soon. I'd rather you not be here when he does. If there isn't an issue with Matthew,

then I suggest you head on back to your room. Thank you for all you do. You are a wonderful babysitter."

My mouth hung open; she thought I was Matt's babysitter? What was Gavin telling her??

It felt like someone stabbed me in the chest.

"Where are Matt and Irene?" I finally mustered up some words.

She raised her brows.

"I assumed they were with you. Gavin sent them away so we can have some alone time for the evening," she said, winking. "If you know what I mean."

I nodded, suddenly feeling numb.

"I see," I whispered, my voice coming out unfamiliar. "I'm sorry to bother you," I whispered and turned away quickly, tears burning in my eyes.

"Judy?" Daisy said just as I was about to hurry away, I froze for a moment, waiting for her to continue. "Thank you for keeping his bed warm for me. But now that we are together, you aren't needed for that particular task anymore. I hope you understand."

I stood frozen, not sure what to say. Thankfully, she didn't give me an option on what to say because she slipped back into the room and shut the door behind her.
