Chapter 445
Judy's POV
"Who do you think she's talking to?" Nan asked in a whisper. "Or about?"
I shrugged.
It was strange that she was having a secret conversation behind the gym. Just as we were about to step away, she came around the corner and froze upon seeing
us.
"Judy," she gasped and then her eyes went to Nan. "And Nan. Uh... hi. What are you girls doing here?"
I looked at Nan and then back at Sammy.
"We were just heading to the gym, and I thought I heard your voice. We just came to check it out.
Her cheeks flushed and she seemed to be looking anywhere but at us.
"We didn't hear anything," Nan was quick to interject. "We just got here. Were you on the phone?"
She nodded.
"Yeah," she said. "I was just talking to family. I have to go though. I'll see you girls later."
Without another word she brushed past us and ran off, leaving us staring after her with dumbfounded expressions. I looked at Nan and her confused expression mirrored mine. After a moment of standing in place, silent, we decided to go into the gym. It wasn't busy, thankfully. A few from my combat class were using the weight machine and with respectful head nods in our direction, they continued to do what they were doing without bothering either of us.
Nan immediately gravitated towards the treadmill while I went towards the closest weight machine so I could still talk to her while doing my workout. Despite that Nan was petite in size, she had always been athletic. She played various sports in middle and high school, including track, which was one of her favorites. So, I wasn't surprised when she immediately set the treadmill for the highest setting and started to sprint.
"Maybe she got back together with her boyfriend, and she's embarrassed about it?" Nan said after a while. I knew both our minds were still fixed on Sammy and that mysterious phone call.
"It didn't sound like a boyfriend," I told her with a frown. "It sounded as she said... a family member. Accept it appeared they were asking her to do something she didn't want to do."
Figuring this out shouldn't be hard for me considering I was in Gamma training. It was my job to be able to find out these things with ease and if I couldn't, that'd be embarrassing.
"Maybe they want her to get back together with her boyfriend," Nan suggested. "He was an Alpha right?"
I nodded.noveldrama
"Yeah, but he didn't take on the role of an Alpha. He was in the Gamma competition which meant he wanted to be a part of the Elite Force."
"Do we even know who he is?" Nan asked with a frown.
"She never told us a name, no."
"He definitely exists though... right?" Nan asked, her brows furrowed.
The fact that she could sprint as fast as she was and hold up a conversation along with facial expressions was impressive.
"Sammy wouldn't lie to us... would she?" I asked. But even as I asked that question, I wasn't so sure. I mean, she was snooping around my personal bedroom and hiding phone conversations from us. It was weird behavior, and I had a feeling maybe Sammy was lying to us...or at least hiding something she didn't want us to know. It gave me an unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach.
"I don't know," Nan said softly. "I'm a little worried that maybe we are being deceived."
We both fell silent as we continued our workout routine and after an hour, we were both panting and sore, but we felt better.
Nan finally slowed down the treadmill and started to walk while I lowered the amount of weight I was doing.
"Maybe we should talk to her again," I suggested. "Or at least keep an eye on her."
Nan nodded in agreement.
She glanced at her watch and sighed as she turned off the treadmill and hopped
off.
"I have to get to work. Will you be okay if I leave?" She asked.
I nodded.
"Yeah, Taylor is picking me up in a few minutes. I have to work tonight too. I promised Matt I wouldn't bail on him tonight," I told her as sat up on the bench. "Call me later, okay?"
She nodded as she grabbed her belongings and hurried out of the gym.
I stayed for a little longer before I called it a day and packed up my own things.
As I reached the parking lot, I saw
the familiar car that Beta Taylor usually drove parked out front. There wasn't any sign of Sammy, so I. assumed she wasn't riding with us, which was fine because I wanted to go straight to the Villa anyway. Plus, I still wasn't sure how I was feeling towards Sammy so maybe it was good that I was gaining some space from her.
