Chapter 411

Judy's POV

"Woah, this mansion is huge!" Sammy cooed as Beta Taylor pulled up to the mansion. On our way, he informed me that Gavin was giving me the night off and he would be arriving at the mansion shortly to get Sammy set up as the new maid.

I wasn't sure of the kind of background that Sammy grew up in; I had no idea if she ever lived in a large home or if she lived in short homes. But one thing was certain, she'd never lived in a mansion before. I never had either until I came here so I couldn't blame her for being awestruck by the sight.

Taylor stopped the car outside of the front entrance and he quickly got out to grab Sammy's luggage which was stored in the trunk.

"Home sweet home," I told her as I opened the car door.

"I can't believe you live here," she breathed. "How did you get so lucky to live in a Landry estate?"

I never actually told Sammy about my relationship with Gavin, though we didn't really hide it all that well when we were at the resort. I assumed already that she knew about my relationship with him through Nan or something.

"It's kind of a long story," I admitted.

"Well, you'll have to catch me up later," she told me. "I'm not really used to having friends, but you and Nan have been great to me since the competition and now I finally;/feel like I have a small group I can turn to. I hope you know you can turn to me too."

My heart melted at her words.

"Yeah, I would like that," I told her as we walked into the mansion.

Before I could say another word, Gavin walked around the corner, his appearance business-casual and handsome as ever. My heart immediately skips a beat upon seeing him, and he pauses his movements when he sees me. His eyes scan me briefly before they fixate on Sammy.

"Welcome," he told her. "I have some employment paperwork for you to sign, but for right now, Beta Taylor will show you to your new room."

Sammy smiled politely at him.

"Thank you for this opportunity, Alpha. I won't let you down," she tells him as she follows Taylor towards the maid's quarters.

"It was nice of you to hire her as your maid, and get her a transfer to my school," I told him, standing a bit awkwardly in front of him. I wasn't sure why I felt awkward in front of him, but for some reason, I did. He nodded thoughtfully, his hand reaching out to tuck a strand of fallen hair behind my ear, his fingers lingering around my cheeks for a moment too long before he pulled his hand back.

"She's a good friend to you and she came to me in need," he told me. "It was the least I could do."

"I was going to have a girl's night tonight with Sammy and Nan; would that be okay?"

He raised his brows at my question.

"You don't need to ask my permission to hang out with your friends."

I shrug casually.

"But it would mean I can't hang out with you," I tell him with a smirk.

He thought about that for a moment and nodded.

"Guess we'll just have to see each other tomorrow night then," he said, running his thumb across my jaw.

As soon as we heard the door opening and shutting down the hall, he stepped away from me, giving me a respectful amount of space.

Sammy walks out with Taylor.

Sammy has a bright smile on her face.

"This place is amazing. My room is huge," she cooed. "I think I'm going to love it here."

"Glad things are to your liking," he said with a nod. "Let's go into the kitchen and discuss the terms of your contract and get these papers signed."

After about an hour, Gavin and Sammy emerged; Sammy looked more tired than when she went in.

"I'll leave you girls alone now," Gavin said, adjusting the papers in his folder. "I'll see myself out."

Without another word, Gavin left.

"He's an intense man," Sammy said, running her fingers through her hair. "The paperwork was so long and thorough."

I nodded.

"Yeah, he's very detailed," I tell her.

"I'm excited to have my first girl's night in this mansion," she breathed.

Nan arrived shortly after and soon we were gathered in the living room with plates of finger foods, deserts, wine and blankets. We were dressed in pajamas and giggling about the latest gossip.
