NovelFinishChapter 0058 Judy's POV "That asshole!" Nan gasped as we stood in line at the campus coffee shop, waiting to take our orders. "I can't believe he had the nerve to do that to you last night. And to involve your mother??" It was the next morning after Ethan cto seeand I just finished telling Nan about what had happened last night. I was still in shock that Ethan had the nerve to cto my house and take care of my mother just as I would agree to be his mistress. I felt disgusted over the fact, and I also felt a bit guilty. I felt bad for Irene; she didn't deserve to be treated like that, even if she didn't know about it.
"I told him to leave," I concluded the story with a shrug.
"What can I get for you ladies this morning?" The Barista, Nicole, asked. Nicole was in a couple of my courses, and she was a pretty good fighter. I've sparred with her on a couple of different occasions. She worked at the coffee every other morning and she always made my beverages to perfection.
"Just a vanilla cappuccino," I told her.
"Make that two," Nan said as she pulled out her wallet I shook my head and grabbed my own wallet.
"I'll pay," I told her. "You gota coffee last time," reminded her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI handed Nicole my card and after the transaction went through, she handed it back.
"Coming right up," she said, and she turned to make the drinks.
"So, what are you going to do about the whole Ethan situation?" Nan asked as we stepped aside to wait for our cappuccinos.
I looked at her with a frown.
"What can I do?" I asked. “He doesn't seem to take no for an answer. The most I can do is keep working so I can pay off my father's debt." "Are you going to tell Irene what her fiancé is up to?" Nan asked, raising her brows.
I thought about it for a moment before shaking my head. It wasn't my business, and Gavin was clear when he said he didn't wantto do or say anything that would jeopardize this pending marriage. If I was the reason his daughter got hurt, he would never forgive me, and I would be out of a job.
"It's honestly not my place and I really don't want to get involved," I told her.
"Your cappuccinos are all set," Nicole said, sliding two to-go cups in our direction.
"Thanks," I said, grabbing both cups and handing one to Nan. "I'll see you in class later." Nicole waved goodbye as we left the coffee shop and started to walk across the campus.
Nan decided not to ask any more questions about what had happened last night and whether or not I should tell Irene. As far as Nan knew, I didn't know Irene any better than anyone else. The Landry's have always been locked up tight and though Irene was known to be in the spotlight, she wasn't known +25 BONUS Chapter 0056 to have friends or get around the packs. She was a mystery to those outside of her family and that made her even more intriguing.
If Nan knew that I actually knew Irene and was getting to know her even better, she would question how I knew the famous Irene Landry and I would have to tell her the entire truth. It would be a breach of my contract, and I could lose my job. I had to hold onto this job as if my life depended on it... because it kind of did.and my father's life depended on this job.
"I still have 30 minutes before my class starts; want to go the lounge for a bit?" I asked as we neared the buildings.
"Sure," Nan agreed.
We walked into the fairly busy lounge; most hung out here before their morning classes. As soon as I walked in, I noticed something was a bit different. Students were whispering amongst themselves like they were gossiping about something.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen we walked in, their eyes shifted in my direction. I frowned as their whispers grew even louder and it was clear they were all talking about me.
But what had I done? "She was the one who got Carol expelled from the school," I heard one of the gossipers saying.
"I can't believe she walked in here with her head held high like that." "She has snerve after the stunt she pulled!" H My cheeks burned with heat, and I glanced at Nan who was eyeing everybody as well, her frown deep.
"What's going on?" I asked her.
"Carol was expelled from school," she answered. "And it's obvious everyone is blaming you forlit even though it wasn't your fault!" She said loud enough for everyone to hear.
We walked through the lounge and reached our normal table near the window, Carol's friends f ds were standing nearby with their arms folded across their chests.
"How dare you show your face here after what you did❞ one of themm sneered. "Carol worked hard for that scholarship, and you stole it from her!" I turned around to face them, my eyes narrowed.
"She cheated,” I said through my teeth. "She didn't work hard at all. Someone else did the work for her." "And you have been deceiving everybody into thinking you are poor," she hissed back.
