Chapter 0091

My heart lightened a little; I felt bad for her. She had no idea about the cruel jerk she was engaged to, but maybe she would start to understand things on her own. I brushed the thought out of my head; it wasn’t my problem or concern. I was here to do a job and that was it. My main focus was on my father and getting his debt paid so he could return to my mother, and we could be a happy family once again.

Matt and I spent the next couple of hours sparring and practicing his defense moves. Once we were finished, were both panting and covered in sweat.

“Good practice,” I praised, patting him on the back. “You’ve been improving greatly.”

“I have a great tutor,” he replied with a beaming smile. “Thanks for helping me, Judy.“.

“You should get inside and shower before dinner. I’m sure the maids are in the process of cooking it as we speak,” I told him, glancing at my watch and seeing that it was just past 5 pm.

He nodded and hurried inside. My eyes wandered over to Irene who was no longer staring at her phone; instead, she was staring at me. She had an expression on her face that I couldn’t quite read… maybe it was nervousness. Like she wanted to talk to me about something, but she was too afraid to bring it up. I figured if she wanted to talk, she would, so I turned away and started to clean up my supplies, shoving them into my bag.

I hadn’t noticed, or heard her, moving from her seat, but by the time I was done packing up my things and turning back around, she was standing right behind me. I nearly fell backward in shock.

“Sorry,” she murmured. “I didn’t mean to scare you…

She bit her lower lip and rubbed the back of her arm awkwardly as she stood in front of me. I sighed, giving in.

“Is everything okay, Irene?” I asked her. “You seem off today.”

As if she was snapping herself out of her daze, she blinked a few times and then lifted her gaze to meet mine.
