"Girl, anyone who sees you looking at him this way will assume he cheated on you with another woman so let's go before you cause further misunderstanding," Joanna pulled Audrey away from Chris for the third time.
"Cheat on me?" Audrey snorted.
"He stands no chance in being my boyfriend, not to mention cheating on me".
"You both have so many things in common," Joanna said playfully. She still went ahead and continued with her sentence despite the disapproving stares Audrey gave her.
"You are both great friends who are willing to go to any length for their friends. Both of you quick to get angry...,"
"As if you are better than me in that aspect," Audrey said.
"Everyone knows I am more cool-headed than you so I don't have to argue with you on that, right?".
Joanna brought her attention back to the guy standing there quietly watching them talk.
"As I was saying. Despite your bad temper, you both have angelic hearts. With so many similarities I won't be surprised if you both fall in love...,"
"That is impossible. Why on earth will I fall in love with this heartless jerk. Instead of falling in love with him, he might end up getting killed by me if he is not careful around you," Audrey said coldly as she showed Chris her tightened fist.
"There is nothing like an impossibility in this life. I have come to realise this after coming back from that dreaded place people think no one could come out there alive...," Joanna said seriously.
Hearing her talk about the topic none of them wanted to recall made Chris and Audrey kept quiet.
What could they possibly say to Joanna to make her feel better?
They had no idea of the ordeal she went through in that horrible place for an entire six months so how could they possibly comfort her?
"That is why don't say you both can't be in a relationship because anything can happen…,"
"That won't happen?" Audrey replied with so much certainty.
"And how are you so sure about that?" Chris said to the astonishment of Joanna.
She stared at Chris wondering why he would make such a statement.
"I just know it…,"
"I heard there is a thin line between hate and love. Who knows this might be your case…,"
"Stop spewing nonsense and let's go teach those witches a big lesson for what they did," This time around Audrey was the one to drag Joanna along with her.
"Don't worry, this time around I am gonna kill at least one of them".
Joanna halted hearing Audrey's plans. "I am fine so there is no need to go to the extreme. Besides, your hands are too precious to get dirtied with their filthy blood?"
"But…,"
"Leave teaching them a lesson to Bacon because that is what he is excellent at," Joanna said grinning wickedly.
In her quest for revenge, Bacon has never failed her. He obeys every one of her orders.
Although Bacon is just a bird she likes it so much that she feels uncomfortable when it is not around.
When she was at that dark hellish place he was her sole companion so how could she have not developed a strong bond with the bird?
"Let's go meet Mrs Parker and see whether she will be merciful enough to let me work in her cafe just like she did back then," Joanna said as they took the direction leading out of campus.
As the ladies walked in front, Chris walked at the back. He didn't have to hide anymore and protect her since they were already aware of his mission.
When they reached the glass building and Chris tried to follow them in, Audrey blocked his path.
"Don't you dare try to follow us in or else I am gonna make a scene? Let's see whether you will still be able to follow us again when everyone knows that you are the King's right-hand man," Audrey threatened fiercely with her hands spread to stop Chris from going in.
"You…," Chris pointed his index finger at the mean girl not knowing the perfect words to scold her with.
"If you think it's mere threats then try me and see," Audrey said coldly. She turned and walked into the cafe.
She tried to catch up to Joanna now standing inside the cafe.
"She is so beautiful yet so mean? I wonder why her temper is not even the tiniest bit as that of Miss Joanna?" Chris muttered.
He moved away from the front of the cafe and stood at a spot where he would get a full view of the entire cafe.
Leah, Joanna's former colleague went and called Mrs Parker, their boss when she saw Joanna.
Just like every other person in the community, there was fear in her eyes whenever she looked at Joanna.
While Mrs Parker and Joanna talked Audrey sat two tables away from them.
As she sat there she made sure to keep an eye on Joanna to prevent any harm from coming to her.
"Mrs Parker, although I really need this job I would understand you perfectly if you don't give me the job," Joanna concluded firmly.
Although she said she would be fine if Mrs Parker refused to accept her back as her employee the truth was that she wasn't fine.
In the past, Mrs Parker was the only one in the Kingdom willing to give her a job.
If Mrs Parker rejects her services now then she was certain her dream of getting a job will not be realised any time soon.
Joanna anxiously waited for the woman to talk but she didn't utter a word even after three minutes passed.
"Mrs Parker is your silence indicating that you don't want to…," Joanna paused when she realised that Mrs Parker's attention was somewhere else.
Curious to know what or who was capable of attracting the woman's attention Joanna followed her line of sight.
"What is wrong Mrs Parker?" Joanna's gentle touch on the woman's hand made her snap out of it.
Mrs Parker brought back her attention to Joanna.
"So what were you saying again?" Mrs Parker tried to compose herself but she failed to do that properly.
"Is he someone you know?" Joanna asked while staring at Chris.
