This time around she was smiling instead of looking miserable.
"I will pass your orders to the guards now," Tracy said. She bowed and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute," Queen Mother Theresa called her back.
"Tell the kitchen to prepare a feast for our guests," She instructed.
"They are vampires so they don't eat…," Her gaze meeting with the Queen Mother's murderous glares made Tracy choke on her words.
"I will do exactly that," Tracy responded with her head bowed. She left the room after confirming that the Queen Mother had no more orders for her.
For two hours Amos was seen discussing extensively with his men in a well-furnished apartment.
Anytime the King stood up everyone in the hall was seen jumping on their feet. None dared to sit when the King was standing.
[They are so rigid. No wonder I never loved having to deal with them. They are not fun at all]
Kyle was in deep thought as he glared at the four guys which just jumped to their feet seeing Amos stand up.
"I am done here," Amos announced. "Resume your previous position immediately," He commanded.
In less than a minute the four guys dispersed leaving the centre table for only Amos and Kyle.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face?" Kyle asked. He picked up his cell phone from the centre table and used the screen as a mirror.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Nothing is there so why do you keep looking at me? Don't tell me you are seeing your beloved face in mine…,"
"You let your thoughts run too wild, that is your problem," Amos scolded seriously.
"It's your fault for gazing at me intently without saying what's on your mind," He mumbled and leaned back on the black couch.
None talked for three minutes after his last comment.
"So what is the problem?" Kyle started in a serious tone. "Are you worried about what is the identity of the people who dropped the corpse without being detected even though they were so many guards keeping watch…,"
"I am worried about that but that is not the only thing which has been on my mind lately," He replied.
"If that is not the problem then are you worried about the deadline for your one-month vacation…," Kyle paused when his eyes met Amos' deadly glares.
"Ok, I will keep quiet and let you speak," Kyle said dramatically like he often did whenever Amos scolds him with his gaze.
"I learned that Mr Anderson laid his hands on my woman's delicate face. I am thinking of a way to punish him for that," Amos said and squinted his eyebrows.
"You mean you want to punish your future father-in-law?" Kyle expatriated even though all of them were aware of Mr Anderson's relationship with Amos.
"You are not perhaps planning to hit him back as revenge…,"
"That isn't a bad idea but I want to deal a huge blow at a point he would remember even in ten years to come and a physical blow will not suffice for that," Amos muttered as he crossed his long legs.
"From your words, I can tell you already have a plan, so what is that?" Kyle asked curiously.
Amos stood up from the couch and strolled to the glass walls covered with brown curtains.
He stood in the middle of where his two men were gazing outside with the help of microscopes.
"I learned from Chris that he is on talks of signing a deal worth billions of dollars so what if I let that deal slip off his hand?" Amos asked.
Judging from his tone Kyle could tell that he was still contemplating the plans.
"Ooh… you want to make him realise that it's only because of his daughter that he looks down on that he has been enjoying a peaceful life as a successful businessman in the Kingdom right?" Kyle questioned despite knowing the answer.
Although he and Kayden rarely met after he became King he remained his right-hand man in the Kingdom.
Because of this, he is aware of all the privileges the Andersons had enjoyed all these years because of his love for Joanna.
Maybe the Andersons would have long gone bankrupt if not for the King who sometimes goes the extra mile to make things easier for his future Queen's family.
He did this without anyone except his closest people knowing.
"In the past, I never really took action because I thought his evil wife was the problem but he and his bratty daughter crossed the line by humiliating her in public this time around," Amos said with his fist clasped.
His blood boils in rage when he recalled the video of the incident he had watched.
"If you want to punish him then go ahead and do it, so this way they will know the consequences of going against the King's chosen woman," Kyle said dramatically.
"You made it sound dramatic but I love what you said. Although it's late, I should make them know what happens if they mess with the future Queen," He said and peered outside from the little space created in between the curtains.
Back at the mall Joanna and her companions were seen on the lift making their way to the ground floor.
"Isn't that Ray with stinky Joanna?" An angry voice called out while pointing at the masculine figure in the green shirt.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn a flash, the other two ladies with her diverted their attention to where her finger was pointing at.
"It's she again!" Sophie hissed with her right hand clenched.
"I can't believe she is not only hell-bent on going against us but also wants to steal all the men we admire from us…,"
"What power does she have to go against us not to mention stealing those we have marked as ours?" Sophie scoffed, with her murderous glares following the lady who was oblivious to their presence.
"She has always relied on Tomboy to come to her rescue. I bet she will do the same with the two men too…,"
"Ray is way out of her league. He has always been a kind soul. I bet being nice to her is out of charity but the stupid girl mistakes it for fondness," Doris commented.
