Chapter 0274

I quickly scanned the email until I found the room number.

My heart raced.

Room 906.

It hit me—I was in the wrong room.

What terrible luck I had!

My face burned with embarrassment.

I felt a wave of embarrassment wash over me as I stared at the room number. I was in Gavin Landry’s hotel suite, and suddenly, it felt like I might faint from the humiliation.

I could hardly bring myself to look at him, even though I knew he was right there.

He was staring down at me with a deep frown on his face. He thought I was here to stalk him, but he had no idea that I was actually in the competition. I wasn’t sure if I should even tell him.

For the past few weeks, he had been distant and unapproachable.

I felt like nobody cared about me or what I did. So, why would that change now?

“Well?” he asked. “Are you going to reply, or are you just going to stand there?”

I didn’t know what to say.

Gavin had spent the whole night in his room, which meant that Nan was alone in our room all night.

Oh Goddess, she must have been so worried about me! I had thought she was out all night, but it turned out she was just waiting for me.

I was the one who had been out all night.

“I…” I began to speak, but my voice faded as my thoughts took over. “L… I have to go,” I said quickly. I turned and rushed out.

I hurried out of the room. I was only a few rooms away, but I didn’t want him to follow me or find me later. So, I decided to go to the elevator instead.

I wasn’t sure where I was going, but I knew I had to get away.

**Gavin’s POV**

I couldn’t honestly say I remembered anything from last night. I had drunk way too much and made some choices I probably shouldn’t have.

When I woke up this morning, it was still early.

I was shocked to find Judy on the floor of my hotel suite. She was the last person I expected to see there.

My body reacted strongly to the sight of her. Even though she looked disheveled and naked, she was still beautiful.

It wasn’t good that she was here. If Alpha Levi found out about my relationship with her, he would definitely use her against me. I needed to make sure he didn’t know anything about Judy and me.

I looked for her in the halls, but she was already gone. There was no sign she had ever been there, except for her faint scent that lingered in the air. I knew I could find her easily if I wanted to, but I chose not to. I was determined to keep my distance.

I didn’t want to run into Levi or the paparazzi if I left right now. I needed to stay under the radar until the competition started.

I grabbed my phone and pulled up Taylor’s contact.

“Yes, Alpha?” Taylor answered.

As soon as he picked up the phone, he could tell it was a business call by the way the caller spoke.

“Did you know that Judy Montague was going to be here?” the caller asked, sounding serious and tense.

There was a feeling of betrayal hanging in the air. I wondered if my own Beta had known this truth and chose to keep it from me.

For a moment, he paused, unsure of how to respond.

“No,” he finally said. “I didn’t know she would be there. But Adam told me…”

“She won’t be around for a while,” someone said.

“Adam?” I asked, picturing my butler in my mind. “How does Adam know anything?”

“He must have forgotten to tell you,” Judy replied.

requested time off for the next few weeks.

I felt a headache starting to build in my temple from this conversation. I needed him to get to the point and share something useful before I lost my patience.

“Did she come here because she…”

“Did you know I was going to be here?” I asked through clenched teeth.

Adam didn’t explain why she was missing. I figured it was school break, so she was probably just taking some time off. That made sense to me.

“Mathew doesn’t really need a tutor during the break. It’s not like she needs one right now, does she?”

I clenched my fists. He was missing the point, as usual.

Judy must have guessed that I’d be here, so she came to see me.

She’s acting like nothing happened, but that’s the only explanation I have.

It seemed like she was playing a dangerous game.
