"Stop being inquisitive and let's go so we can save him before the Chancellor comes to a decision," the anxious Joanna said as she grabbed Audrey's hand and tried to pull her along with her.
With a deep frown on her face, Joanna tilted her head to look at Audrey, "What's it now?" Joanna demanded.
Instead of answering Joanna's question, Audrey wriggled her hand out of Joanna's grip.
She ignored Joanna's baffled expression and walked to the wall. The way she was so relaxed as she leaned against the wall made Joanna upset.
"Drey, what is wrong with you…,"
"In the past, I was nice to him because I thought you were in love with him. But now that you have confirmed that nothing is going on between the two of you, that means he is nobody to me so why should I care about what happens to him?" Audrey whose back was leaning against the wall asked with her hands folded below her breasts.
"Why are you acting so weird huh…,"
"Girl, you are the weird one here and not me. Make your stance so that I will know which side to take. Stop getting yourself confused…,"
"Since you won't come with me then I will go alone. I will make sure that nothing happens to him," Joanna stated sternly. She swirled and stomped away in anger.
Audrey stood and stared at her angry best friend's departing back.
"It's so obvious she likes him quite a lot so why doesn't she even realize her feelings for him?" Audrey muttered.
She let down her leg and stood properly on both feet.
"I have this feeling that she is gonna regret this if she keeps up this attitude with him," Audrey mumbled.
She followed Joanna immediately.
Although she pretended not to care, the truth was that she was worried about her friend.
On the Chancellor's office floor, Joanna who was running came to a halt in front of the brown door.
The gasping lady was about to extend her hand and pulled the door's handle when the door suddenly flew open.
Before she could react the person stomped out, almost knocking her off her feet.
Because she didn't expect someone to come out at the time she wanted to enter the man's office, the fuming Tiffany was able to get away but she didn't repeat the same mistake twice.
The moment she saw Nora stomp out of the room almost in the same manner Tiffany did, Joanna grabbed the angry lady's right hand.
"How dare you…,"
"I am the one who should be asking you how dare you girls lay a finger on him?" Joanna, who was equally mad that the ladies had to drag Amos into the mess, cut Nora short.
"I remember saying I won't take things lightly if you ladies go after him also. I thought all I have done to you ladies will serve as a warning but I can see you all are still thinking that you own…,"
"And what can you do huh?" Nora asked her piercing glares looking directly into Joanna's eyeballs.
She flung Joanna's hand away.
"Also, don't tell me you were expecting to see me shiver in fear like that night huh?"
Unlike the usual fear she always sees in Nora's eyes ever since she scared the girls in the villa that night, Joanna was surprised to see newfound confidence in the girl's eyes.
"If that is what you expected then I am sorry to disappoint you because I have passed that stage…," Sophie also tromp out of the office before Nora finished her sentence.
"Also, if there is anyone who should be scared between us it should be you," Sophie said. There was anger all over her face.
The vibration of her entire body showed just how angry she was.
"If there is one thing you should know after today's incident it's the fact that you have bitten more than you can chew. And as such you should better prepare for what is coming your way," Sophie threatened. As she walked away, she collided hard with Joanna, almost dislocating Joanna's shoulder.
Nora also walked away leaving only Doris whose silhouette Joanna got a glimpse of inside the Chancellor's office.
Standing outside, Joanna stretched her neck to confirm whether Amos was inside the mean man's office.
Hiding behind the wall she was able to get a full view of the man's desk when Doris came out of the office.
As she came out of the office Joanna noticed that Doris' expression was no different from those of her friends that had left.
She grasped Doris' right hand, not letting her walk out on her as she wanted.
"Tell your friends that it's one thing to make a threat and it's another to carry out the threat. Anyone can make threats but it's that person who says and does exactly what she says is the true winner," Joanna said with a stern expression.
She ignored Doris' annoyance. Why should she care about how she felt when they were the ones who started it first?
"I will make the four of you regret the day you came into this world if I find out that he had sustained the slightest thing as a scratch on his body. Mark my words because this is not a threat," Joanna said as she let go of Doris' hand.
This time around she refused to let Doris walk out on her also. She left the place before the angry lady did.
Joanna was running out of the building when she bumped into Audrey at the entrance.
Audrey grabbed her anxious friend's hand, and take a peep inside the building with the aid of the transparent glass door.
She returned her gaze to Joanna standing in front of her when she didn't see the one whom she was looking for.
"Why is he not with you?" Audrey demanded with a worried tone. "Don't tell me he really got rusticated because of the fight?" Audrey took a wild guess.
