Judy's POV

"So, what's going on between you and my father?" Irene asked, making my entire body freeze.

It was the next day; the day after I won the competition. We were gathered in my suite, getting dressed for the celebration. I was a bit nervous about it as is because I really wasn't a fan of that much attention. There were going to be paparazzi there, and a lot of people were asking questions. I'm not sure I'm ready to answer any of these questions or what I'm going to say to anyone.

I wondered if the competitors were going to say nice things about me, or if they were going to snub me.

I shook the thought out of my head and then turned to Irene, her question registering in my head.

"What do you mean?" I asked her with a frown. "There's nothing going on between your father and me."

"Oh, please," Irene said, rolling her eyes. "I saw the way you two were acting around each other earlier. There's a lot of hostility. Seriously, is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine," I said, trying to sound casual, though I knew I didn't.

"Are you sure about that?" Irene asked, raising her brows. "It seemed pretty hostile between you two."

I frowned and shook my head, just as Nan walked out of the bathroom.
