Chapter 0023
I scowled at it in the mirror. I couldn’t be seen with his hickey on my neck! I had to cover this up somehow.
I decided to use a scarf.
After I showered and got dressed, 1 grabbed a scarf that paired nicely with my blouse and jeans. I tied it around my neck and took a deep breath before leaving my room.
My mother made it known that she wasn’t very happy that disrespected our future Alpha. I told her that I wasn’t going to do what Ethan asked me to do and that we could find another way to make money.
“Honestly, Judy. Just do what he’s asking. It can’t be that hard. Your father’s life is at stake,” she pleaded, tears filling her eyes. /1
I remained silent, not wanting to discuss this any further. Later in the afternoon, I took an Uber to Gavin’s house. I was relieved to see that only Adam and Matt were home, which meant I didn’t need to have any awkward encounters.
Adam took the time to show me around the house; he guided me to all the rooms that I could use and some of the rooms needed to stay clear of, which included Gavin’s study, and the entire upstairs floor.
“The interview was only the first step,” Adam said as he turned to face me. “You might have proven yourself to Master Matthew, but you now need to prove yourself to me None of his other tutors had been successful in getting him to complete his tasks. Your job is to get him to complete his tasks. Understood?”
“I will try my best,” I answered as confidently as I could.
Adam smirked and folded his arms across my chest.
“No offense, Miss Judy. But 1 personally don’t believe you have what it takes to truly handle this boy. Even those who passed the interview process were unsuccessful. He’s complicated child and it’s going to take a lot more than a pretty face and good fighting skills to get him to listen.”
Third Person POV
Judy looked taken aback by Adam’s words, but what he said was the truth. Just that morning, he was speaking with Ethan while Miss Irene was getting dressed for the day Ethan told him that Judy had never been around kids before and she didn’t know the first thing about them. He confessed that he’d known Judy for quite a while and that he didn’t think she could handle this job.
Judy at one point confessed to Ethan about her very serious condition that she claims to have managed, but it
makes her less intelligent when it comes to certain subjects Once Adam learned from Ethan what Judy’s condition was, he felt a bit deceived.
Adam made a mental note to keep a close eye on Miss Judy and report anything he found suspicious
Ethan seemed oddly curious about Matt and his interests as well this morning.
“I notice he doesn’t do much around here and I wanted to know what I should get him for his birthday. I know it’s not for months, but if I’m going to be in Irene’s life as her husband, Matt will be my brother–in–law. I’d like to start thinking of these things now.
Adam didn’t think that was too strange, so he nodded thoughtfully.
“Well, he’s into video games right now. Actually, he has a tablet that he plays on. He has a favorite game in particular that he plays but he isn’t allowed to play it right now.”

Ethan raised his brows.
“Why is that?” He asked.
“Because it takes up too much of his time. He will spend all day locked away in his room playing that damn game. Getting him to do anything and cooperate is impossible.”
“Can I see the tablet?” Ethan asked. “Maybe I’ll get him a new game; an educational one.”
