Chapter 0080
Judy’s POV
“I can’t believe you are actually going on a date with Gavin Landry’s nephew!” Nan shrieked as we both rummaged through my wardrobe. Walter was going to pick me up in a couple of hours and I had nothing to wear for this evening. I was so nervous that my stomach felt like it was about to turn inside out.
“Maybe this was a bad idea,” I said, turning around to face her.
She frowned at me.
“Are you kidding me?” She gasped. “Walter Landry is eye candy; he’s fucking hot. Of course, he’s not Gavin Landry Hot, but holy smokes that gene pool is strong.
I rolled my eyes at my overly excited best friend..
“I’m serious, Nan. What was I thinking?” I asked, shaking my head.
“Does it even matter?” She asked. “Why are you stressing out about this? You said it yourself that you. are attracted to him.”
“I would have to be blind to not be attracted to him,” Imurmured.
“I just can’t believe that you met him by chance at the library,” she said, shaking her head. “I never took him for much of a reader.”
I raised my brows at her.
He owns his own publication,” I reminded her, “All he does is read and write.”
“Yeah, but I thought it was all for show. He’s too hot to be hidden behind a boring book. He should be at model or something.”
I laughed at her words.
I didn’t particularly appreciate having to lie to her about how I met Walter. But she couldn’t know that I met him while at Gavin’s villa. I told her I was studying at the library this morning and Walter just happened to be there. We talked for a bit and then he asked me out. Nan and I had been aimlessly rummaging through my clothing, trying to find the perfect outfit for tonight. We’ve been here for about an hour and we both have been coming up empty–handed.
“He might be hot, but he’s intelligent and really good at what he does. I’ve been following his work for a long time, and I’m impressed with him. I’m just worried he be impressed with me,” I admitted, biting my lower lip.
Walter did a lot of writing about the French Gamma Warriors and took many photos from the battlegrounds. I’ve done reports based on his work many times in the past.
“What about this?” Nan asked, pulling out a small black dress.
1 frowned at it and then looked at Nan with narrowed eyes.
“It’s a little small, don’t you think?” I asked her. “I doubt it’s appropriate for a date with a Landry.”

She rolled her eyes.
“Then put a sweater over it, Judy,” she said, throwing the dress at me. “It’ll show off your legs and you got killer legs.
I frowned down at my legs.
“Trust me,” she added and then she winked. “He’s going to love you in that outfit.”
I blushed at her words.
“I don’t think I want him to love me,” I told her.
She rolled her eyes again; if she kept doing that, her eyes would get stuck behind her head.
“Just put it on,” she begged..
1 sighed and relented. It’s not like I had anything else to wear and this was a nice dress. I bought it a while ago when Nan and I went on a shopping binge, back when my family wasn’t bankrupt, and I had the funds to splurge my money. I wasn’t really sure what I would wear it for, but Nan said I looked great
in it.
1 guess tonight was the night that put it to the test; I just hoped I didn’t look like a prostitute,
I showered, making sure to shave every inch of my body. Not that I thought anything was going to happen tonight, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Once I finished washing my hair and body, I stepped out of the shower, allowing the warm steam to swarm around me as I wrapped a towel around myself and walked to the mirror.
I brushed my teeth and brushed out my wet clumps of hair until it was smooth and went straight down
back. The dress was resting on the counter with a cute black sweater. Once I put the dress and the sweater on, I raised my brows at my reflection.
my
I had to admit, I looked good in this. I was amazed at how fitted my body looked and Nan was right, I did have great legs. The sweater made the look a bit classier, so I didn’t feel super floozy.
Satisfied, I left the bathroom only to hear Nan shrieking in delight.
“You look amazing!” She practically yelled.
I shushed her.
“My mother is sleeping.” I reminded her.
She rolled her eyes, and I knew what she was thinking my mother was always sleeping. But she’s been better lately, she’s been out of bed and doing things around the house again. She even went food shopping yesterday, she’s been speaking with my father’s lawyers and trying to come up with a plan to get him out of prison. She was exhausted and went to bed early tonight; I didn’t want to wake her and disturb her well–needed rest. I hadn’t had a chance to update Nan too much about current events, so she wasn’t aware of any of that yet.
