"Since you are sure about this then I will leave you alone. If you feel like crying then do so or you will feel sick," Audrey said. She reached out her hand and touched Joanna.
She gazed at Joanna not wanting to leave. She had no choice but to leave knowing that Joanna would only let out everything bothering her after she leaves the room.
Audrey walked over to the table where she had thrown her shirt on. She took her clothes, and take a long look at Joanna before she left the room.
"Just wait and see how I will deal with you for messing with my best friend," Audrey bellowed, jamming close the main entrance door.
Audrey stomped to the elevator. Instead of pressing the button going to the ground floor Audrey pressed the button leading to the floor Amos stayed.
After she got out of the elevator on the designated floor, Audrey got ready to give Amos a piece of her mind.
But her disappointment turned out to be as big as her expectations.
"They spent the entire day having a good time in his room so why isn't he here now?... Did he run away because he knew I was gonna come for…," Audrey moved and stood in front of the pillar when she got a glimpse of a figure in black lurking downstairs in front of the building.
Curious to know what was happening she stuck out her head from her hiding place and peered down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe figure standing upstairs was so far away and didn't notice her existence on the floor.
She returned to her hiding place in a flash when she noticed that the figure wanted to look in her direction.
When she felt that it was safe she stuck out her head and peeked downstairs for the second time.
On her third attempt, she was lucky to get a glimpse of the figure's face. Her eyebrows furrowed when she sets eyes on the face of the figure downstairs.
[What is Chris doing here?... Also, my apartment isn't this way so why does he keep looking at this area of the building in particular?]
Instead of finding solutions she was left confused by Chris' sudden appearance there.
[Also, didn't I tell him not to wear those tacky black outfits because it makes him look suspicious? Will he gets back to his senses after he sleeps in the police cell for a day?]
Audrey stuck out her head only to return to her hiding spot noticing that Chris was still looking at her sides.
So he won't know that she has been watching him secretly, Audrey waited for him to leave before she came out of her hiding place.
"Although he can be very annoying and I kinda hate his guts, I am glad that I won't have to spend two to three hours alone. I will use this opportunity to repay the favour of him always getting on my nerves," An evil grin masked her pretty face as she gazed in the direction Chris took.
Chris walking on a lonely street can to a halt when he felt someone's presence behind him.
"Hey, don't you think that we have been meeting way too often," The lady's stern voice echoed in the dark streets causing him to turn around.
"You are kinda right, I guess the heavens want us to become friends…,"
"Boring," She exclaimed with her hands stuck in her trouser's pockets. She walked passed him.
Chris tried as much as possible to keep up with her pace.
Tonight Audrey didn't return to her home except after midnight.
She was so relieved when she reached the bedroom and meet Joanna sleeping with her hands wrapped firmly against a pillow.
"I wish the two of them would settle things. I don't want to get kicked out of my home once again," Audrey whispered as she bent and pats Joanna's silver hair.
The next day, Joanna woke up pretty early but she wasn't in the mood to go to work. After what transpired the previous night she already knew that nothing good will come out of Amelia being in charge of the cafe.
The mean girl would do everything to frustrate her, she already knew that much.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith reluctance, Joanna freshened up and got set for work. While she got ready to go to work, Audrey who had classes in the morning also got ready to leave.
The two friends said their farewells when they reached downstairs.
"We will see each other when you return," Audrey said when they wanted to part ways downstairs.
"I am planning to spend the night over at home today. Little rice ball has been texting me so much lately because I haven't been home so many nights," said Joanna in a meek tone.
"I am afraid he might cause problems and get spanked by Laura and his mother," she added.
Although a night had passed Audrey could still see traces of sadness on Joanna's face.
Because it will only make Joanna sadder if she mentioned anything about the previous night, she decided not to pry further.
"The two mean ladies are capable of doing anything so you are right about it. I will put a call to you after my classes," Audrey replied.
The two friends said their farewells and parted ways.
Getting closer to the cafe, Joanna had this strange feeling about returning home. Her imagination of some of the things they will do began playing in her head, thereby worsening things.
"I did nothing wrong so why should I run away like a coward?" Joanna questioned with her fist clasped.
"Besides, wouldn't I be giving her the liberty to do whatever she likes with him if I refused to go to work?" Joanna, who had already turned her back in the direction of the cafe, found a new reason to fight.
"With my chin and shoulders held high. I am gonna go in there and prove to her that the winner hasn't been decided," Joanna smiled as she pressed on.
