NovelEnglishChapter 0090 Judy's POV "He kissed you?!" Nan shrieked on the phone the next afternoon. I had to pull the phone away from my ear at the sound of her loud voice.
"Yes," I told her. "It was unexpected." The Uber driver parked the car outside of Gavin's villa. I thanked him before handing him his tip and got out of the car.
"Nan, I have to go, I just got to work," I told her, rushing her off the phone as I ascended the steps that led to the front door.
"Okay, but you have to calllater. I need all the details," she told me.
"Will do," I assured her, and then I hung up the phone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTruth be told, there weren't many details to tell her. The kiss was decent enough, but it wasn't anything to write habout. It didn't ignite my passion or leavefeeling breathless... it didn't even make my legs weak. It was nothing like the kiss I've shared with Gavin in the past.
My cheeks warmed at the thought.
Why was Gavin popping up in my head at moments like these? I should not be thinking about Gavin or his kisses. That was the last thing I should be thinking about right now. But even during my date last night when I was with Walter, I couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like to be with Gavin. To have Gavin's arms wrapped aroundwhile we danced under the moonlight to beautiful jazz music. What it would have been like to have his lips pressed against mine during the heat of the passion and to know that I was the only one he wanted to be with.
I needed to get a grip on myself because those thoughts were ridiculous. Those things could never happen. He was my boss and nothing more. Just because we almost had sex that one time, doesn't mean he has any type of feelings towards me.
If anything, he felt the opposite. He thought ofas a showgirl. Someone he can have one-night stands with and never see again.
The thought left an unsettled feeling in my chest that swallowed down.
Adam stood at the doorway with an indifferent look on his face. I knew he was still upset withfor making him look foolish in front of his boss. Now, he wasn't even allowed to speak in the presence of Gavin. It's not like it was my fault; Adam was the one who was trying to getfired the moment I got the job. I still didn't understand why that was; I mean Adam was the one who invitedto apply for this job in the first place. "Master Matthew is waiting for you in the parlor," he told me. "He's already gotten a head start on his homework. I think he's eager to spar this evening." I smiled at the thought.
"Thanks, Adam," I said to him, trying to be polite.

He nodded and I went on my way to the back parlor where Mathew was buried in his book and taking notes in his notebook. I smiled at the sight, but then my smile faltered when I saw who was seated on the loveseat across the room, scrolling through her phone.
When I entered the room, she looked up and gavea wry smile.
"Hello, Judy," she greeted; her voice sounding almost sad.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hey, Irene," I replied, trying not to sound too bothered by her being here.
At least she was alone this time; I wanted to ask her where her fiancé was, but I had a feeling her sour mood had something to do with him. Maybe she didn't like the fact that he dragged her to the gallery last night. Walter toldthat they had been fighting a lot lately and she didn't want to go out last night, so I was surprised when I saw the two of them there when we returned from our walk. I thought for certain Ethan would try and talk toat spoint during the evening, but surprisingly, he kept his distance.
Maybe he was finally getting the hint that I wanted nothing to do with him. Or maybe he just didn't want his precious Irene to feel insecure and worried that his mind was elsewhere. "Is it okay if I sit with you while you tutor?" She asked. "I need to get my mind off stuff.” I glanced at Matt who was still busy doing his homework before I turned back to Irene.
"I don't mind," I told her.
She looked relieved and relaxed back into the loveseat. I went to Matt and sat beside him. We spent the next hour doing the rest of his homework and going over the stuff that he had N already done. Once completed, we went out back to practice combat and defense. As we walked outside, I was surprised to see that Irene was following us. Her nose was still buried in her phone, and she was barely paying attention to where she was walking, but she was following after us.
Once we reached our destination, Irene sat at one of the lounge chairs that was set up and she continued to type away on her phone. I furrowed my brows at her, but she didn't notice. "Her and Ethan got into another fight,” Matt whispered. "She's been sulking all day."
