The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 68

Chapter 0068 Judys POV I could not believe I actually agreed to this .

I stared at myself in the mirror with a frown .

I was wearing a female business suit that seemed to have aged me a few years .

Matt was right when he said that I could pull off being his mother .

For a moment , I had doubts that I could be too young , and the teachers would never fall for it .

But those doubts slipped away when I grabbed one of my mothers business attires and slipped it on .

I glanced at the clock and sighed ; I only had a few minutes before my Uber arrived and took me to Matts school .

I wasnt even sure what it was he did that got him in trouble .

I should have asked so I could better prepare my response .

It had to be the response of a parent though ; I had to be angry with him and give him a stern talking to .

I ran my fingers through my hair , wondering if maybe I should put my hair in a low ponytail instead of leaving it down .

I swallowed the lump in my throat and shook my head ; no … if I cant pull off being his mother , then my next bet is to seduce the teacher .

Or so Nan would tell me if I were to tell her what I was up to today .

The honking outside indicated that my Uber was there I took a deep breath before giving myself one more look in the mirror .

Satisfied with my attire , I grabbed my purse off my bed , shouldered it , and quickly left the room .noveldrama

I was surprised that my mother was in the living room when I got downstairs ; and even more surprised when I saw that she was sipping on a cup of coffee .

When she saw me , she gave me a small smile and motioned for the kitchen with her head .

I brewed some coffee if youd like some , she offered You brewed the coffee yourself ? I asked .

She raised her brows at me .

Im capable of brewing coffee , Judy , she told me , her tone flat .

1 blinked a few times .

I didnt mean it like that , Mom .

I just meant you havent really been up to doing anything lately is all , I told her .

Im glad youre out of bed .

I figured its time that I start making some changes in my life and I cant do that if Im stuck in my room all day , can I ? She asked , taking another sip of her coffee .

I smiled and walked around the couch to hug her .

As I wrapped my arms around her , her body seemed to have stiffened .

But it only lasted a moment because soon she was relaxing and resting her head on my shoulder .

Then she lifted her head to look at me with a frown .

Are you wearing my clothes ? She asked .

I swallowed and gave her an awkward laugh .

Chapter 0068 I have an interview , I lied .

I assumed most students were in class .

It didnt take me long to reach the main office because it was near the schools front entrance .

The receptionist , a young blonde woman , was typing away on her computer , barely paying attention to anything going on around her .

She barely spared me a look as I stepped in front of her desk .

I had to clear my throat a couple of times for her to acknowledge me finally .

She sighed and lifted her gaze to meet mine .

Can I help you ? She asked , raising her perfectly trimmed brows .

Yes , Im here to speak with the principal , I said , taking in the blonde in front of me .

And who might you be ? Judy Landry , I lied .

Im Matts mom .

She narrowed her eyes at me , taking me in from my toes to my head before she let out a bark of laughter .

She had to sit back in her seat and hold her stomach while she continued to laugh ; my checks burned hot .

She could see right through me because if I was Mrs.

Landry , that meant I was married to Gavin Landry , and everybody knew that Gavin was an eligible bachelor and a playboy .

I should have thought that through before speaking , but now that the lie was out there , I couldnt exactly take it back .
