Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

Judy's POV

I wasn't really sure what to expect, but the dress Irene had created for me was the most gorgeous thing I had ever worn. After Irene finished doing my hair and makeup, I stared at myself in the mirror, and I barely recognized myself. I took my own breath away. Irene stood behind me, a smile lighting up her face as she took me in.

"You look gorgeous," she breathed, folding her arms across her chest. She had a smug smile on her lips, and I knew from that look she was planning something. "My father isn't going to know what hit him when he sees you."

I turned to look at her, a frown marring my lips.

"I'm not going to this thing for Gavin. I'm going for you," I reminded her. "So, please don't try to set up or anything."

She looked almost hurt for a moment.

"What? Me? I'd never," she teased, and then she winked. I just gave her a stern look, making her sigh, and then her face grew serious. "Okay, won't do anything. You have my word."

I nodded.

"Thank you," I told her.

"Besides, I won't have to tell him anything. The second he sees you, he's going to go insane."

I roll my eyes at her.

"You have high hopes," I tell her.
