Since none answered the door when the bell rang all Joanna thought was that he was sleeping. And that's why she couldn't mask her shock when she entered the sitting room and met him sitting with his attention focused on the laptop in front of him. Amos raised his gaze and looked at the lady standing before him. He tried his best not to show how flustered he was. "Why are you just standing there?" He asked without sitting up properly. "Have you forgotten that you are not a guest in my home?" He added…-

He got dressed within the twinkle of an eye. After he was done he left the presidential suite without taking time to enjoy the luxury of the room in which so many were dying to witness at least one in their lifetime. Tonight neither Joanna nor Amos had a peaceful sleep. With their minds preoccupied with thoughts, they spent half of the night tossing on the bed. Audrey stayed awake throughout the time Joanna was awake just to keep her company. The next morning the constant movement and noises in the…

Audrey was a bit taken aback when she saw that the man standing in front of them was none other than their Chancellor. She composed herself and tried to mask her surprise when she noticed the way the man stared at her. "Are you ladies alright?" Mr Aidan said his gaze centred on Joanna's wounded hand laid on the counter. "If you need help then be free to ask us because we are more than willing…," "It's ok, we can handle this alone," Audrey cut in. "If you say so then we will pay our bills and…

He was about five steps away from reaching the counter when a lady who came out of nowhere dashed towards the counter. The lady beat him to get to the counter first. "What the fuck! You are bleeding!" She remarked in astonishment. In an instant, she took Joanna's bleeding right hand still laid on the top of the counter and placed them in her hand. She was gentle as she held the hand of the lady who wasn't reacting at all to what was happening. "What happened, Anna?" Audrey demanded with worry in…

Joanna stared at the restless lady as she walked to and fro the little space around the inner counter. Seeing her this way made her recall that this was how she was in the past. In the past, she was always more worried about her little brother who couldn't fall asleep without her by his side than she worried about herself. It became a habit she couldn't do away with. It got to a point that she forgot that apart from her, Anthony had a mother, father and sister to look after her too. "I am sure she…

Chris paused walking and tilted his head to the right so he was gazing at her. "And what if I am also in love, do you have a problem with that?" He asked, his eyeballs fixated on hers. "As if I care," Audrey scoffed. "I am just afraid you will become a fool because of your feelings…," "Fool?" Chris questioned, his eyebrows squinted as he stared at the lady who seemed to be avoiding his eyes. "Don't give me that look because I know what I am saying," Audrey defended herself. She and Chris moved away…

"That you are among one of the serious students on campus. Seeing how you work so hard shows you are a responsible person, a model students everyone on campus should emulate," Mr Aidan replied. Although he just complimented her, Joanna didn't feel uncomfortable with him or his words. She is a witness to how to mean the man standing in front of her was so she couldn't help but find him weird. Outside the cafe, a lady in black shiny leather trousers smirked, her eyes focused on the man and woman who…

She started walking back to the cafe in big strides. There was a point she even ran just to be able to get there sooner. Reaching the front of the glass building, the gasping Joanna halted. She tried to regulate her breathing. Standing there, her palpitating heart won't stop racing even though her breathing has returned to normal. "Gosh, I feel so nervous!" Joanna remarked as she rubbed her palms together. After standing there for over two minutes Joanna approached the glass door. She tried as much…

Mrs Parker grinned inwardly when she noticed that Joanna had taken the bait. "Hmmm…," Mrs Parker trailed as she walked over from the front of the counter to where Joanna stood. "By this time I believe they should be in the movie theatre having a great time in their booked room," Mrs Parker said with a broad smile on her pretty face. "What!" Joanna shouted with widened eyes. She didn't give a fuck that her loud voice attracted the attention of the customers. As if dropping the bomb wasn't enough…

As she tried to meet up with her time of resumption for work, Joanna kept her hopes alive by having positive thoughts. Thinking negatively would not only ruin her mood but the rest of her day and that is why she tried her best to keep negative thoughts at bay. At the cafe, Joanna met a very busy environment. Noticing that work was overwhelming she rushed to the counter ignoring all the noises around them. "I will go get changed now," Joanna said to Mrs Parker holding a tray of orders in her…
