"Hehehe… I must admit that you are right about that," Mr Fin replied. He and Amos moved to the centre table.
While Amos sat beside her Mr Finley sat on the opposite couch.
"Not only are you bold but also very intelligent. And I guess these are the two qualities I like about you very much...," Mr Fin trailed as he diverted his attention to the guy whose entire concentration was on Joanna's face.
"Just like he vehemently believes that you will make an exceptional Queen, I have also come to believe that after meeting and knowing you closely," Mr Fin admitted.
He smiled when he saw Joanna turn and looked at the guy by her side.
She looked him in the eye before she went ahead to ask, "Did you say that about me?".
[I bet if it was only his method to make her fall in love with him, he wouldn't have reached this stage. Since those behind the stages have helped him to get to this point, why I don't help him a bit too]
Mr Fin grinned seeing how intently the two were looking into each other's eyes.
"Didn't you call me JUST ANYONE while you referred to him as someone special because you know exactly what he thinks about you?" Mr Fin asked, as he immediately faked a surprised expression.
"I indeed called you JUST ANYONE but I don't remember calling him someone special…,"
"But that's exactly what your words implied. I am sure anyone would have had the same thoughts as me after hearing your love confession," Mr Fin said. He acted defiant after dropping the bomb on Joanna.
He crossed his long legs acting as if he didn't see Joanna jump to her feet because of his words.

Even though Amos wouldn't have believed what Mr Finley said but because of the way she reacted she looked very suspicious.
"Who said that was a love confession?" Joanna asked. The way she acted very tensed and flustered while saying this made Mr Fin grin inwardly.
[I see I hit the right button this time around]
A sly smile plastered on his face as he stared at the anxious lady.
"I thought only you had this unique way of confessing your love or was I wrong?" Mr Fin asked.
At that moment his eyes met with Amos' questioning glares but he just shrugged his shoulders and gave him the I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT expression.
"That wasn't a love confession so stop making a wild guess," Joanna replied. As she talked to Mr Fin, she dared not look at Amos' face be it by mistake or intentionally.
She was scared he would discover the truth if she did this.
She was so eager to confess her love to him earlier but she didn't know why she has become very fearful right now.
"Joan…,"
"I feel famished for some reason. I will go get myself what to eat," She hastily replied.
She ran away before his extended hand could grab her.
"She is acting very weird for some reason," Amos muttered as he kept gazing in the direction she disappeared into.
"What do you expect from someone who was caught red-handed?" Mr Fin replied as he leaned his back against the couch.
"What do you mean?" Amos demanded. "Also, I wanted to ask you what that was earlier. How could you ever think of bullying my woman in front of me?".
Mr Fin stared at the angry guy who was now glaring at him. He contemplated whether or not to disclose what he had found out to him.
"How could I possibly bully her in front of you?" He said as he stood up and walked to where Amos and Joanna's picture hung.
"I am not crazy either am I courting death to want to do that…,"
"Then what was that?" He interrogated as he appeared beside where Mr Finley stood.
"I can feel that she is in love with you and I was just giving her a slight push to help my friend here out, was that wrong of me?" Mr Finley asked, pretending to be upset.
Instantly Amos grabbed his hand and spun him around so that they were looking at each other eyeball to eyeball.
"You can feel she is in love with me? What do you mean?" He demanded sternly. There was a lot of anxiety on his face as he waited for Mr Fin's response.
[He is such an intelligent guy but I still can't believe that he hasn't noticed or felt that the woman he had been in love with for a long time is now in love with him. Is he this dense or is he pretending not to know?...]
The sudden snap of Amos' finger in front of him brought him out of his daze.
"Stop spacing out and say something," He said impatiently.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Making her fall in love with you and marrying her has always been your life goal. You didn't hesitate to abandon your identity to achieve this so how come you don't even know that she is in love with you?" Mr Fin asked suspiciously.
Amos frowned after listening to Mr Fin's words.
"Stop making me look dumb with your questions and tell me what you know," He replied.
"Is she really in love with me and how sure are you about this information?" Amos quizzed, his curious eyes focused on Mr Finley's face.
"Yes. And I don't think her feelings are just starting to develop. It feels like she has felt this way about you for a long time," Mr Fin said what he noticed.
Of course, this conclusion of his didn't arrive only from today's meeting.
He has seen how they interacted in and outside his lecture hall although he pretended not to be aware of this.
He arrived at this conclusion after so much thinking and that is why he decided to test whether his assumptions were right today and she proved it not long ago.
"If she is so in love with you that she is willing to give her body to you how could you not have…,"
"Do you mean you heard all we said back then?" Amos asked. His eyebrows creased into a frown.
"Are you a pervert or what?" Amos questioned. With his hands clasped into a fist, he stood up and walked to where Mr Fin sat.
"I am sure the entire neighbourhood had listened to your sweet little conversation so why are you treating me like this? Besides it's not my fault…," Mr Fin kept quiet, seeing Amos raise his fist.
Just when he wanted to hit him, Joanna arrived in the sitting room with a tray in her hand.
For fear that she would ask questions, he quickly returned to his seat.
"It would be very selfish of me to be the only one eating which is why I brought you meals too," Joanna said smiling. She bent and dropped the tray on the table just beside Mr Fin's front.
