She was aware that stopping her would make Audrey more disappointed in her but she also didn't want to see him hurt in any way. And that is why she was in a dilemma.

"You both were the ones who put on a flawless act. You played me for a fool all this while. You knew I hated him but you didn't care about my feelings. Who could be a better actress than you huh?" Audrey retorted. "You think I didn't care about your feelings huh?" Joanna questioned letting go of Amos' hand. "Because you didn't like him, I had to pretend to dislike him too. I was practically walking on eggshells all this time because I was afraid you would get hurt if you discovered the…

"Audrey, you hit me quite hard. I almost thought I did something wrong and that is why you were mad at me," Amos, who was pushed about five steps away, said. He rubbed his right side where Audrey had landed the punch at. "Be more gentle next time or I am afraid you might break my ribs…," "And I can't promise that it will end with just breaking your ribs the next time I see you close to my best friend again," Audrey said bellowed. She reached out her hand and yanked Joanna to her side. Joanna, who…

Amos pulled backwards without answering her questions. The hesitant look on his face made Joanna wonder where he ran off only to show up by this time. "Were you running away from me again…," "Of course not," He blurted without thinking. He composed himself afterwards. "Something important came up and I had no choice but to leave," He said softly. "Something important, like what?" Joanna asked while looking at the guy whose gaze was concentrating on the ground instead of her. "What is it?... You…

She peered intently at Leah's face as she waited for her to respond. "Mrs Parker said…," "If you want to work overtime then nobody will stop you but be aware that you are not gonna get paid for it," a lady's cool voice disrupted their conversation. Almost at the same time, Joanna and Leah shifted their attention to the right where the voice came from. "I never wanted to ask for extra pay for the excess hour I will be working so you don't have to worry," Joanna replied sternly. Unlike the gentle…

Audrey was still in disbelief despite having guessed Amos' real identity. No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't find any reason why the number one man in the Kingdom would take on the identity of a commoner. Why? What was his reason for taking on a new identity? "Your Majest…," Chris paused what he wanted to say when his eyes met Amos' deadly glares. "I meant Sir," He corrected himself without waiting for him to do that. "It's not that I deliberately want to make things hard for you.…

The guy was lost at what to do. He didn't even know the way to begin telling her that his friend stole his wallet and cellphone. After looking around and not seeing an acquaintance at the cafe he didn't know whether to cry or laugh at his predicament. Joanna's eyes didn't miss any tiny expression that appeared on the handsome guy's face. She was smart enough to understand the situation without him having to say a word. Joanna was overcome with pity as she looked at the guy still fiddling with…

Amos shifted his gaze back to look at the smiling Joanna. "Also, about what happened that day, I would love it if you could keep it a secret ok," Joanna said to the guy whose gaze was focused on her. Back at Amos' table Amelia turned and spoke in a hushed tone, "She even shares a secret with him?" Amelia questioned. She stressed the word SECRET, making sure it sank into Amos' head. "What could have happened between a young woman and man for her to ask him to keep it a secret…," "Can you stop…

Leah was busy daydreaming about the tall handsome dude approaching the counter to hear what Joanna said. Before the guy with slightly long brown hair that stopped just beneath his shoulders could reach the counter Leah had already run out to attend to him. "Welcome, handsome," Leah said beaming. Joanna could swear that she has never seen Leah smile so brightly at any other customer ever since she started working there. Leah was busy trying to grab his attention to notice that the handsome guy's…

Joanna shifted her focus to Amos' direction. Her frown deepened when she saw Amelia constantly touching him while talking. Joanna clenched her fists and bit her lower lip. She spun and strolled towards the locker room. Because she was already wearing black trousers Joanna only needed to change her shirt. Due to this, she didn't take a lot of time in the locker room. After she returns to the counter Joanna steals glances at Amos every five minutes. She started becoming paranoid when things seemed…
