Chapter 0009

I decided to just be as honest as I could .

My family recently fell upon some hardships , and we could use the extra money .

I saw the salary you are offering to tutor this child , and it was an opportunity I couldnt resist .

Its also a job I can do after my own school hours , so my studies wont fall behind , I answered , Are you free this afternoon ? I will text you an address to meet me at and you can meet with Master Matthew before you decide on anything , he suggested .

I smiled .

This was better than nothing I would like that , I told him .

It didnt take long for Adam to send me the address via text message after we hung up .

It was late morning , and they wanted me to meet him in a couple of hours .

That gave me time to get dressed and call for an Uber .

I decided to dress in comfortable clothing ; something that I could easily move around in .

I took a shower , made a small bite to eat , making sure to leave my mother some extra food in case she was feeling up to eating today , and then I called for an Uber .

It didnt take long for the Uber to arrive .

I got into the backseat of the car and soon I was off to the Silver Crescent pack .

The Silver Crescent pack was the largest pack in the world , and it was filled with modern luxuries .

Most of the pack members were swimming in money and they made sure all surrounding packs knew that fact .

People from other packs were allowed to travel to different packs , as long as they had proper ID .

Gammas were stationed at the borders , examining visitors before they allowed entryway .

Every packmate had an ID , including children .

Both the Uber driver and I had our IDs ready before we reached the borders .

This pack belonged to Gavin Landry , and though his pack wasnt far from mine , I never actually stepped foot in it before .

For a second , I thought the driver pulled up to the wrong house .

He stopped in front of a gorgeous , and huge , villa .

It looked just like a hotel resort right down to the gorgeous marble water fountain statue out front .

Are you sure this is the right place ? I asked the driver , still staring up at the large and rustic looking building .

Yes , mam , he answered .

I thanked him and got out of the car .

As I started towards the large set of stairs that led towards the front doors , the doorway opened and a tall man with greying hair and pale blue eyes stood in front of me .

He had a kind smile on his lips and bowed as I approached him .

Good afternoon ; you must be Judy Montague , the deep voice said , and I immediately recognized the voice to be Adams .

Yes , sir , I said , smiling at him .

I am Adam Conners .

You may call me Adam .

I am the butler at the estate , and Ive been personally assigned as the caretaker for Master Matthew when his father isnt home .

What about his mother ? I found myself asking .

Its … a complicated story , Adam said .

She isnt in the picture though .

Master Matthew is out back right now practicing his archery with another potential tutor .

My stomach dropped ; there was someone else here seeking the tutoring job ? That meant I had to fight for this 1/2 Chapter 0009 position .

I followed him outside and across the green grass field ; in the distance , I saw the archery set up .

A young woman , maybe a little older than me was trying to teach him .

But he seemed to be giving her attitude and yelling at her .

She was paling even more by the second and by the time we reached them , she was in tears .

I cant do this , she cried , backing away from the boy .

Im sorry .

She ran without another word ; only the sounds of her sobs could be heard .

Adam sighed and looked as if he aged another few years as he watched her go .

Matthew didnt seem phased though ; his thick brows were tilted downward as he struggled to hit his target with the arrows .

I could tell he was growing frustrated ; he kept grunting and groaning as he pulled back the string and released the arrow , only for the arrow to land a few feet in front of him , sticking out of the ground .

Can I see ? I asked .

feet to m He glanced at me from over his shoulder with a frown .

He sized me up ; his eyes scanning me from my feet to my head .

I never felt so judged by a 7 year old in my life .

But maintained a cool posture with a soft smile .

He eventually relented and handed me the bow and arrow .

With little to no effort I pulled the string back and allowed the arrow to fly through the air and towards the target .

It hit the bullseye with a loud thud .

Matthew gasped .

Woah … he said with wide eyes .

1 I smirked as I grabbed another arrow from the quiver and repeated the same process even quicker , hitting the spot .noveldrama

right next to the one I just hit .

His mouth was practically on the ground , as was Adams .

Matthew looked up at Adam in awe .

What is her name ?
