Chapter 625
“I’m heading to the launch pad; come with me. You can be the first to greet her,”
Ron stated it like a suggestion, but really, it was an order. If they wanted this to
work, it needed to be genuine.
“Okay, let me grab my stuff,” he said as he headed towards the locker room.
A few minutes later, he returned. He was changed into his armor and had his
weapons attached to his sides, ready for access. Ron nodded at him and
together, they went to the launch pad just as the private plane that was sent for
Judy landed.
Ron motioned for his nephew to get the baggage from the undercarriage of the
plane. He nodded without hesitation and jogged towards the plane. The doors
remained shut, and Ron stood his ground outside his car. His nephew returned
with suitcases and bags. By the time he was finished loading the car, the door of
the plane opened.
At first, Ron only saw the stewardess; she was speaking to someone he couldn’t
see, but he assumed it was Judy.
After a minute, Judy emerged. Her hair was pulled out of her face with a clip, and
it looked disheveled like she had just woken up.
Judy’s eyes found Ron as she descended the steps. There was uncertainty in her
eyes as she approached him.
“Beta,” she greeted, glancing around. “Where’s Alpha Levi?”
He knew that she was expecting Levi to be there as well, considering he was
urging her to join his Elite Force. So why wouldn’t he be here to see it happen for
himself?
“He couldn’t make it,” Ron settled on. “I’ve come on his behalf. We have your
condo ready and information regarding your first day. This is one of the Gamma
warriors on your Elite Force Team, and he’ll help get you settled in and prepared
for your first day.”
Judy nodded, glancing up at his nephew. There was a flicker of recognition in her
eyes, but it went away just as quickly.
Like a boy who’s reading a script, Ron’s nephew smiles down at Judy.
“It’s good to see you, Judy. I’m sure
you’re going to do great. We are
pleased to have you join our pack,”
he stated, his smile never wavering.
Judy frowned at him, a wariness in
her gaze that Ron noticed.
“Uh, thanks,” she said to him. “But
word of advice, you don’t gotta try
so hard. You sound like you’re
reading a script. I’m just a simple girl
who wants to fit in, and I could really
use some friends right off the bat.
So maybe you can just be real with
me and don’t try so hard.
Her eyes were hopeful, and Ron held his breath, not sure what his nephew was
going to say. But to his surprise, his nephew physically relaxed, and a relieved
smile spread across his face.
“You’re right, that was totally fake,”
he laughed running a hand through
his hair. “Truth is… most here are
terrified of you. I mean, you won the
competition, so you’re kind of a
badass… but also, there are guys
here who are intimidated by you. So,
you should be careful.”
“I think I can handle myself,” Judy said with a grin. “So, are we heading to my
Condo, now?”
“Yes,” Spencer said, snapping back to the present moment. “To your Condo.”
She nodded and started towards the car.
“It’s really nice to me you.. Uh…” she trails off when she realizes she didn’t catch
his name.
“Spencer,” he fills in. “My name is Spencer.”
