The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 36

Chapter 0036 Nan only rolled her eyes and made her way over to me , wrapping her arms around me and pulling me in for a hug .

Are you okay ? she asked me , her voice low and for my eats alone .

I nodded , feeling the burning sensation of unshed tears in the back of my eyes .

I refused to let them fall right here though ; I wasnt going to let my peers see me break .

Yeah , it was just a misunderstanding , I told her .

Did Gavin do anything to help ? She asked .

I raised my brow , surprised by her question .

Why would he do anything to help ? I asked , trying not to sound too awkward She smirked and nudged my shoulder as we made our way through the dining hall and toward an empty table .

Because he ran after you guys so fast ; barking orders at his Beta to find information out on Carol , she explained .

He looked pissed , and I have a feeling its because he wanted to protect his darling Judy .

I knew she was teasing , but her words caused heat to flare on my cheeks .

You are being ridiculous , I murmured .

Im not his darling Judy .

We almost slept together once and havent spoken about it since .

Whatever you say , she chuckled .

A waitress stopped by the table and handed us a glass of champagne .

Just what I needed right now , a little alcohol .

I took a long and steady sip of the drink , wincing at the bitter taste .

I really wasnt a fan of champagne , but I needed something to take the edge off .

Lets just enjoy the rest of the party , she said , giving me a faint smile .

He didnt revoke your reward , did he ? I shook my head .

No , he didnt , I answered .

But I never got to make my speech .

Im kind of bummed about that .

Im sorry that bitch ruined your mornent , Nan pouted .
