Chapter 0079 Sorry , what were you saying , Darling ? Her frown deepened .
Im going inside with Matt , she snapped , her eyes dark with anger .
She turned away and started to walk inside with Matt beside her .
Ethans face paled when he realized his mistake .
I think you should go after her , lover boy , I said , folding my arms across my chest .
He didnt humor me with a response , but he quickly ran after her , attempting to exin himself .
I shook my head at their retreating backs .
Why do I get the feeling theres history between the two of you ? Walter asked , turning my attention to him .
If Gavin saw us talking alone together , he would be furious .
I honestly thought Walter went back inside while Ethan and I were having that stare down .
I was surprised and maybe even a little startled to see that he was still here with me .
Even though I just met him , there was a part of me that trusted Walter .
But I didnt think I should tell him the truth about Ethan and me because Im not sure how close he was to Irene .
Telling from what I saw in the parlor earlier , with the two of themughing and hugging , I would say they are very close .
Theres not , I lied .
Hes just Irenes fiancé .
I never really talk to him .
He cocked his head to the side as if he was trying to read my thoughts and then he nodded , not asking further questions about Ethan and me .
Im sorry if I made things weird between you and your boss , he told me , kicking the dirt on the ground like he was a small child who just got scolded .
He can be intense .
Thats an understatement , I teased .
You dont need to apologize , Walter .
You didnt do anything wrong He shrugged and then lifted his gaze to meet mine .
I hope he didnt scare you away from me though , he said softly .
I raised my brows at him ; not sure what he meant .
Wasnt it you that he threatened ? I asked .
He can take away whatever he wants , Walter murmured .
I never wanted to be an Alpha .
Its what my father wanted for me .
I just want to run my business and continue to expand .
All the money that I have has been earned by me .
I am wealthy because of my sesses , not because of the Landry fortune .
Uncle Gavin cant truly take anything away from me .
I fear thats not true , Walter .
Hes a Lycan Chairmen and you know the Lycans rule over the werewolf poption , I reminded him .
Your uncle has all the power in the world .
Id like to see him try , Walter murmured , folding his arms across his chest .
I frowned at him as I went to collect my belongings .
I grabbed my phone out of my bag to check my text messages , ignoring the weight of Walters gaze on me as I did so .
I was about to put my phone back in Chapter 0079 my bag when Walters voice stopped me .
Can I give you my number ? 1 froze and looked at him .
Is that wise ? I asked him .
He shrugged .
Probably not , he said with a sly grin .
But maybe we could do more training .
Or something else … My cheeks burned with heat from his words ; they were not lost on me .
Something else ? I asked with raised brows .
He stepped closer to me , and I felt the warmth of his hand on my arm ; it was a nice touch , but it didnt ignite me .
I nced up at him through myshes , waiting for him to continue .
Id like to maybe take you to dinner sometime , he admitted .
Ive never met anyone as beautiful as you , Judy , and you are smart , strong , and quick on your feet .
Let me take you out tonight .
I stared at him with disbelief ; was he seriously asking me out after his uncle just threatened him and nearly choked him to death ? 1 nced around , expecting Gavin to appear at any moment .
Walter took hold of my chin between his thumb and index finger , and he gently moved my head , so I was looking up at him and into his eyes .
Say yes , he said softly .
Let me show you how a man treats a woman .
Let me take you out tonight .
After a beat of silence , and his face so close to mine that I could practically feel his breath on my lips , I finally whispered , Okay … yes .
