RedNovelChapter 0213 Judy's POV I was so embarrassed. I couldn't believe I allowed myself to get drugged last night and then threw myself at Gavin. I hated that I could remember most of what happened last night. It was no wonder he left in the middle of the night. He could barely stand to look at me.
I was surprised when I saw the Tylertol and water on the bedside table though. I knew Gavin had left that stuff and I found it incredibly sweet that he cared enough aboutto do that. But still, if let mortified that I let myself get drugged in the first place.
I wanted to scream and cry but I refrained from doing so. I was stronger than that and I needed to get a hold of myself. I grabbed my phone off the nightstand after I was done taking the medicine and I glanced at the screen, sighing when I saw Nan's nlash across the screen from a new text message.
I swiped the screen on and opened the message.
Nan: I barely remember last night. Did you get hokay? I pressed the reply and typed my own message.
Me: Yes. Gavin took us both home. How are you feeling?" Nan: Like shit. But I'm glad you're okay. Did I do anything stupid last night Me: Not at all. Just get srest today and we can talk later.

I didn't want to worry her too much about the things she told me, so I chose not to tell her right now. But that didn't mean I wasn't going to grill her later. I needed to know every detail about this supposed mate of hers. From the sounds of it, he went on a date with another woman last night and it drove Nan to drink way more than she would have normally drunk.
I couldn't blher for it; I'm sure it wasn't easy. A mate's betrayal was heart-wrenching. I quickly threw on sclothes and made my way downstairs. I was starving after last night and I was eager to see what kind of food Chester made this morning.
When I entered the kitchen, I saw him slaving over the stove. Harper was also in the kitchen, and she looked like she was talking to him, but he was barely paying attention to what she was saying. She was looking upset over the ordeal and folded her arms across her chest.
"I'm not sure why you are acting like that," she hissed "Because you were the one who said we needed to keep our felationship professional, so that's what I'm doing,” he told her sounding way harsher than I ever thought Chester was capable of sounding.
"Everything okay?" I asked as I entered the kitchen and sat at the counter beside Harper.
"Chester is acting like a jerk," she murmured, narrowing her eyes at him. "I'm not sure what I didn't deserve that treatment..." Chester spun around his spatula in hand.

"Professional while we were working? We weren't working this morning when I was trying to talk to you," she replied.
"Okay then start talking. What's so important?" He asked, raising his brows.
Her cheeks turned pink, and she glanced atbriefly before looking at him.
| "It's kind of a private thing and I don't really want to discuss this right where while we are working," Harper said, biting her lower lip.
"Then maybe you should stop asking about it," he murmured, turning away from her.
"Chester, you are acting strange. Everything okay?" I decided to ask.
"Yeah, sorry. Just didn't sleep too well," he muttered.

Her cheeks reddened again.
'Because I wanted to talk to you last night, but I couldn't find you..." she muttered.
Chester turned his back on her and continued to cook the food. After a moment, Harper excused herself and quickly hurried out of the kitchen. I wanted to go after her to see if she was okay, but I chose to stay and make sure Chester was okay instead. It was nice focusing on other s instead of my own for once.
Chester was in the middle of making veggie omelets and my mouth was watering at the sight of them. He was them. He was so so focused on his cooking that he barely noticed I was staring at him the entire time. That is until he finished and then turned to put the omelet on my empty plate. He froze when he noticed my eyes following him. "Everything okay?" He asked me, raising his brows.
"I could be asking you the sthing,” I said. "What's up with you and Harper?" He shrugged.
"We slept together a couple of times to scratch each other's itch and now she's acting all clingy," he muttered. "One minute she doesn't want "One" anything fromand the next she won't leavealone. It's confusing and I'm sick of being there only at her convenience, know what I mean?" I nodded as I picked up my fork.
"I think she likes you but is afraid to admit it," I told him.
