Judy's POV

"Miss Judy, I was told to bring you home," Taylor said from the doorway, staring around the room awkwardly, attempting to avoid my eyes. My mouth opened wide as I stared at him. So, Gavin didn't trust that I would get home on my own? He had to send Beta Taylor to bring me home himself? The audacity of that man. I had half a mind to tell him off.

“No need. I have my car,” I said, folding my arms across my chest defiantly.

Taylor shuffled in his shoes; his eyes fixed on the ground like he was afraid I could kill him with just one look.

"Yes, your car will be sent to you by the end of the evening," he told me, clearing his throat.

My eyes grew wide.

"You're not serious," I shot back, staring at him with shock. I looked at Irene, who also looked shocked.

"Taylor, just let her drive herself when she's ready. What's the rush?" Irene argued, she was holding the baby while Nan was cooing over it. Cheser sat awkwardly, watching his mate coo over a baby, his cheeks flushed. I was in the middle of teasing him when Taylor came and interrupted us. I wanted to spend some time with my friends; was that such a crime?

"I'm sorry, Miss Irene. But your father had given me his orders," Taylor told her.

Irene rolled her eyes.

"Come on, Taylor. He's your best friend. What do you think he's going to do? It's not like he'd fire you or banish you," Irene told him. She had a point; Taylor and Gavin grew up together and had been friends their entire lives. If anyone could break the rules and get away with it, it was definitely Beta Taylor.
