Chapter 516

He wasn't much help right now; there was absolutely no getting out of this.

As we entered the thought front doors, I caught the curious eyes of Alex, who was standing near the doorway in his usual post. He raised his brows at me and then glanced at Gavin, who was trailing at a distance behind me. I swear I heard him chuckle, which admittedly aggravated me. For some reason, Alex wasn't the biggest fan of me, and he even plotted against me with Irene at one point.

I scowled at him as I was pulled into the parlor. The entire parlor smelled like Rachel, and it made my stomach feel uneasy.

"So, tell me, Judy, what's a girl like you doing working for a guy like Gavin Landry?" She teased, giving Gavin a playful wink that made me scowl, though I suppressed it on my face.

"I'm not sure what you mean?" I asked, my brows furrowed.

She giggled.

"I mean, surely there were better jobs than just being a tutor to an 8-year-old," she told me, a hint of something in her eyes. "What made you decide to do tutoring?"

I wasn't about to tell her my entire life story and the fact that the only reason why I started working as Matt's tutor was to get the money, I needed to bail my dad out of jail by paying off his debt. I glanced at Gavin, who was no longer looking at me, but his eyes were on Rachel.
