"Anyways why won't he hate me when the woman he did all these things for turned out to be nothing but an ingrate...," Joanna trailed off.
She raised her hand and tried to touch Amos face on the screen but unfortunately, the screen dissipated before she had an opportunity to do that.
"Not only was she an ingrate but also a heartless witch who wouldn't spare him from heartbreak," Joanna sniffed as she wiped off the drop of tears that had fallen from her eyes.
"Just like Mr Fin said, you have given your entirety to this relationship. No man would have been able to do half of what you did... and good news to you, Kayden. Your persistence has paid off," Joanna announced, a broad smile crept onto her face as she moved to where the enormous dressing mirror hung.
"I am happy to announce to you that this girl standing here is head over heels for you. And from now you won't need to do all the pursuing because I am going to pester you every day until you grow sick of me. Get ready for me, King Kayden Greyson, your turn to get pampered is here," Joanna declared as she hit her chest confidently.
She was about to order Bacon to turn off the screen when a familiar voice caught her attention.
"Mr Anderson!" Joanna exclaimed. Hurriedly she raised her head and watched the screen once again to confirm if her ears had played a trick on her.
"Amos has nothing to do with him or his family so why on Earth would he meet up with him and in secret at that?" Joanna growled. She balled her hands into fists before the conversation began.
When the conversation commenced Joanna was already angry at the belittling tone Mr Anderson used on Amos but her anger rose to the peak when the video got to the part he ordered Amos to keep his distance from her.
"And who the hell does he think he is to tell my man what to do and not to?" Joanna snapped as if Mr Anderson was standing in front of her.
She paced about the spacious room, her murderous glares fixed on Mr Anderson's face displayed on the screen.
"Since he dared to corner and bully my fiancee in my absence even against his will, why don't I also take this opportunity to give him a piece of my mind?" Joanna retorted. She spun and stomped out of the bedroom.
Joanna was on her way out of their apartment when she bumped into Audrey at the entrance.
"Hey, off to campus already?" Audrey asked, she lowered her gaze at her wristwatch only to raise it and peered at her best friend's fuming expression.
"Also, why do you have that expression on so early in the morning? Who got you this upset...,"
"I have things to take care. of right now. We will talk later," The impatient Joanna cut in. She tried to walk past but Audrey quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her back to her previous position.
"I recall you wore this outfit yesterday so why are you... don't tell me you haven't taken a bath yet?" Audrey asked when she noticed Joanna's slightly messed up hair.
"Anna, tell me, what is so important that would make you stomp out of the house without showering?" Audrey implored in a soft tone but she didn't make the mistake of releasing Joanna's hands for fear that she might slip off before she could stop her.
"Showering is the least of my problem right now...,"
"If that is the case then fine but what about the rehearsals you told me you had this morning? Are you going to miss that too for this important issue of yours you want to sort out?" Audrey reminded her of one of the important things she planned to do; perhaps she had forgotten about it.
"Ugh...," Joanna yelled and ruffled her well-styled hair with her hands.
Audrey was a bit taken aback by her actions since she has never seen Joanna this angry before.
"So what happened to infuriate you to this extent?" Audrey asked for answers when she couldn't guess what happened.
"Did Laura or Adhara perhaps drop by...,"
"Isn't it that man who calls himself my father," Joanna growled and angrily banged the wall with her right hand.
"Mr Anderson got you upset so early in the morning?" Audrey demanded, surprise written all over her pretty face.
"Did he come here?... what on Earth did he tell you...,"
"Can you believe the nerves of that old man... He threatened Amos to stay away from me after his men had the effrontery to kidnap him?" Joanna retorted, veins popping out from her forehead as her grip on the brown door increased.
"Hey, why don't you let go of the door and let's talk inside?" Audrey suggested. She was scared that Joanna would pull down the brown door if she didn't do something to prevent it.
"Let's go in so you can tell me everything in detail because I am quite confused with the vague information you are feeding my brain with," Audrey muttered.
She held the angry lady's hands and led her back into their rooms.
When they got inside Joanna had a hard time relaying everything in detail to Audrey due to how mad she was.
If not that Audrey was a smart lady she would have gotten even more confused because of how Joanna went about her narration.
"I know his manner of approach wasn't the best but Amos and Kayden are the same people so why are you so mad..."
"And why wouldn't I be upset, Drey?" Joanna spat out as she jumped to her feet. At that moment Audrey knew better that she shouldn't have spoken in favour of Mr Anderson no matter what.
"Also, what if Amos wasn't Kayden? Do you know what the consequences of that old man's threat would have been?" Joanna hissed, her hands spread in the air.
