Chapter 0009
I decided to just be as honest as I could .
My family recently fell upon some hardships , and we could use the extra money .
I saw the salary you are offering to tutor this child , and it was an opportunity I couldnt resist .
Its also a job I can do after my own school hours , so my studies wont fall behind , I answered , Are you free this afternoon ? I will text you an address to meet me at and you can meet with Master Matthew before you decide on anything , he suggested .
I smiled .
This was better than nothing I would like that , I told him .
It didnt take long for Adam to send me the address via text message after we hung up .
It was late morning , and they wanted me to meet him in a couple of hours .
That gave me time to get dressed and call for an Uber .
I decided to dress in comfortable clothing ; something that I could easily move around in .
I took a shower , made a small bite to eat , making sure to leave my mother some extra food in case she was feeling up to eating today , and then I called for an Uber .
It didnt take long for the Uber to arrive .
I got into the backseat of the car and soon I was off to the Silver Crescent pack .
The Silver Crescent pack was the largest pack in the world , and it was filled with modern luxuries .
Most of the pack members were swimming in money and they made sure all surrounding packs knew that fact .
People from other packs were allowed to travel to different packs , as long as they had proper ID .
Gammas were stationed at the borders , examining visitors before they allowed entryway .
Every packmate had an ID , including children .
Both the Uber driver and I had our IDs ready before we reached the borders .
This pack belonged to Gavin Landry , and though his pack wasnt far from mine , I never actually stepped foot in it before .
For a second , I thought the driver pulled up to the wrong house .
He stopped in front of a gorgeous , and huge , villa .
It looked just like a hotel resort right down to the gorgeous marble water fountain statue out front .
Are you sure this is the right place ? I asked the driver , still staring up at the large and rustic looking building .
Yes , mam , he answered .
I thanked him and got out of the car .
As I started towards the large set of stairs that led towards the front doors , the doorway opened and a tall man with greying hair and pale blue eyes stood in front of me .
He had a kind smile on his lips and bowed as I approached him .
Good afternoon ; you must be Judy Montague , the deep voice said , and I immediately recognized the voice to be Adams .
Yes , sir , I said , smiling at him .
I am Adam Conners .
You may call me Adam .
I am the butler at the estate , and Ive been personally assigned as the caretaker for Master Matthew when his father isnt home .
What about his mother ? I found myself asking .
Its … a complicated story , Adam said .
She isnt in the picture though .
Master Matthew is out back right now practicing his archery with another potential tutor .
My stomach dropped ; there was someone else here seeking the tutoring job ? That meant I had to fight for this 1/2 Chapter 0009 position .
I followed him outside and across the green grass field ; in the distance , I saw the archery set up .
A young woman , maybe a little older than me was trying to teach him .
But he seemed to be giving her attitude and yelling at her .
She was paling even more by the second and by the time we reached them , she was in tears .
I cant do this , she cried , backing away from the boy .
Im sorry .
She ran without another word ; only the sounds of her sobs could be heard .
Adam sighed and looked as if he aged another few years as he watched her go .
Matthew didnt seem phased though ; his thick brows were tilted downward as he struggled to hit his target with the arrows .
I could tell he was growing frustrated ; he kept grunting and groaning as he pulled back the string and released the arrow , only for the arrow to land a few feet in front of him , sticking out of the ground .
Can I see ? I asked .
feet to m He glanced at me from over his shoulder with a frown .
He sized me up ; his eyes scanning me from my feet to my head .
I never felt so judged by a 7 year old in my life .
But maintained a cool posture with a soft smile .
He eventually relented and handed me the bow and arrow .
With little to no effort I pulled the string back and allowed the arrow to fly through the air and towards the target .
It hit the bullseye with a loud thud .
Matthew gasped .
Woah … he said with wide eyes .
1 I smirked as I grabbed another arrow from the quiver and repeated the same process even quicker , hitting the spot .noveldrama
right next to the one I just hit .
His mouth was practically on the ground , as was Adams .
Matthew looked up at Adam in awe .
What is her name ?
