The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 213

I couldnt 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 about me to 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 Nans name lash 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 home okay ? I pressed the reply and typed my own message .

Me : Yes .

Gavin took us both home .

How are you feeling ? Nan : Like shit .

But Im glad youre okay .

Did I do anything stupid last night Me : Not at all .

Just get some rest today and we can talk later .

I put my phone back on the nightstand and sighed ; it was better if she didnt know how she threw up all over the place .

She also mentioned to me about finding her mate .

I didnt want to worry her too much about the things she told me , so I chose not to tell her right now .

But that didnt mean I wasnt 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 couldnt blame her for it ; Im sure it wasnt easy .

A mates betrayal was heart wrenching .

I quickly threw on some clothes 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 .

Im 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 thats what Im 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 .

Because I wanted to talk to you last night , but I couldnt 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 dramas 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 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 same thing , I said .

Whats up with you and Harper ? He shrugged .

We slept together a couple of times to scratch each others itch and now shes acting all clingy , he muttered .

One minute she doesnt want anything from me and the next she wont leave me alone .

Its confusing and Im 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 .
