**Chapter 410**

“Judy, Nan!”

I heard a familiar voice calling from across the student lounge. When I looked over, my eyes widened in surprise.

“Holy crap, she’s actually…”

“Here,” Nan said, her eyes fixed on Sammy, who was walking towards us with a bright smile on her face.

“Sammy?” I asked as she got closer.

“It’s so good to see you both,” Sammy replied warmly.

“I hope I’m not interrupting,” she said, sitting in the seat across from me.

“Not at all,” I replied. “We’re just surprised to see you here. I didn’t think you’d actually come.”

She nodded.

“I needed to get away from my pack and my boyfriend. Gavin was kind enough to set me up here. I’m really excited to start this semester with you all.”

“When do you graduate?”

“How long do we have to wait?” Nan asked.

“Two more years,” Sammy replied.

“Too bad we didn’t know you were coming soon,” Nan said with a small frown. “We are graduating this year.”

“That’s huge!” Sammy exclaimed.

A girl with a bright smile approached me and asked, “Let me guess, you’re in the Gamma Force major?”

I nodded in response.

“What gave that away?” I chuckled.

She laughed too, then turned to Nan.

“You don’t seem like a gamma,” she said directly.

“I’m a chef,” Nan replied, biting her lower lip. “Well, at least I hope to be one.”

“Nan is a great cook,” I added.

Sammy wrapped her arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer. “She’s in the short culinary program and is on her way to graduating at the top of her class. Don’t let her sell you short.”

Sammy smiled thoughtfully at that.

I noticed more people looking our way, and I tried my best to ignore them. Sammy, on the other hand, was frowning as he glanced around. He leaned in closer to the table to talk to us.

“Everyone is staring at you,” he said, a hint of concern in his voice.

“Is it like this all the time?” she whispered.

“Only recently,” Nan replied just as quietly. “Since she won the Gamma competition, it’s all anyone can talk about.”

“It’s still all over the place,” Nan added, glancing around. “You can’t escape it.”

“You’re right,” Sammy said. “I don’t blame them for talking. It’s not every day that a woman wins the title and joins the Elite. It’s a rare event, and you just happened to be that rare person.”

I could feel my cheeks growing warmer by the second, and I nervously nibbled on my lower lip.

“What am I supposed to do? I can’t have them staring at me all the time. Will it ever wear off?” I asked, glancing between the people around me.

Nan spoke softly, “I’m sure it will work out. Try not to worry too much about it.”

I nodded and took a deep breath.

For the rest of the day, I tried to keep her words in mind.

At the end of the day, I kept my head down as low as I could. I could still feel people staring at me and hear the whispers all around. Despite this, I did my best to ignore them. By the time classes were over for the day,

That evening, I was completely worn out. I considered calling Gavin to tell him I didn’t want to tutor Matt today. But then I thought better of it. I didn’t want to let Matt down; he was expecting me to show up soon anyway.

Beta Taylor was probably already waiting for me to take her to Gavin’s Villa.

Just before I left my last class of the day, my professor stopped me.

“Judy, can I speak with you for a moment?” she asked with a small smile.

I approached Professor Rivers’ desk and noticed a thoughtful look on her face.

“Is everything okay, Professor Rivers?” I asked, concerned.

“Yes,” she replied, smiling. “First, I want to congratulate you on winning the competition. That was a huge accomplishment!”

“Thank you,” I said, feeling a little awkward.

“And secondly, we are going to have a new student joining us this week. He’s in your major, and he will need some help getting settled in.”

“I was hoping you could tutor him and help him out a bit. You’d get paid, of course,” she said to me.

I nodded eagerly. I could use the extra money, and I really enjoyed tutoring.

“Sure, I’d love to help,” I replied.

“Would love to. When does he arrive?” I asked.

“Tomorrow,” she replied. “He’s transferring from a different school.”

“Okay,” I said. “I’d be happy to help.”

“Thanks, Judy. I knew I could count on you,” I said with a smile.

With that, I left and headed straight to the front of the campus. When I arrived, I saw that Taylor’s car was already parked there. I opened the back door.

I stopped when I saw Sammy sitting in the car. She was holding her bag tightly against her chest.

“What are you doing here?” I asked as I climbed into the car.

“Alpha Gavin said I could stay in the mansion with you,” Sammy replied.

She raised her eyebrows and said to me, “If that’s okay. I don’t really have another place lined up right now, and he thought that would be the easiest solution.”

“That’s completely fine,” I replied. “I’m happy to help.”

She smiled brightly at me after I spoke.

“Also, he got me a job,” she said. “Now, I can earn my keep in his pack while I’m here.”

“A job?” I asked, surprised.

“What type of job?” she asked, looking confused.

Suddenly, a big smile spread across her face.

“You are looking at your new handmaiden!”

Gavin had quickly hired a new maid to take Harper’s place, and the reality of the situation hit him almost immediately.
