The first thing Audrey noticed when she raised her head after sensing Joanna's presence was the broad smile that spread across her beautiful face.
Audrey flips her finger at her face to get the giggling girl's attention. "Why are you smiling so much? Did you win a jackpot on your way home huh?" Audrey asked playfully.
Even though she talked, that didn't stop Joanna from smiling. She didn't even reply to Audrey's question.
[Why did he have to tell me about his plans when he was gonna keep it a secret from me? He is mysterious]
Joanna grinned, flickering the tip of her hair around her finger.
Seeing that talking to her didn't work Audrey grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her immensely.
"Snapped out of it already or am gonna have to punch you in the face to bring you back to your senses".
This action of hers startled Joanna greatly. She tried to compose herself after noticing the way Audrey stared at her.
"What… What is it? Did you say something?" Joanna asked innocently.
Audrey stared at her for a minute without responding.
When she saw her grinning like a fool she should have guessed that her mind was elsewhere thinking about heaven knows what.
"Why are you smiling so much without paying attention to your surroundings? Did you win a jackpot by chance?" Audrey asked, her gaze focused on Joanna's face.
Looking at her she could see how hard Joanna was controlling herself from smiling.
[I wonder what is capable of making her so happy? I have never seen her smile so beautifully before]
Audrey was lost in her thoughts and didn't realize that she was looking at Joanna for too long.
Joanna touched her face when Audrey wouldn't stop gazing at her. "Hey, why are you staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face?"
"You haven't answered my question yet so stop trying to evade the question and tell me what happened to throw you into such a good mood," Audrey saw through Joanna's truck immediately.
"Nothing happened. Also, I have never had any luck ever since I was born so why would you think that I won a jackpot…,"
"If nothing happened then why were you smiling so much huh?" Audrey walked closer.
Her suspicious glares made Joanna uncomfortable.
Audrey dislikes Kayden and anything about him. She knew that Audrey would definitely get angry if she learned that Kayden and she were closer than she thought.
She didn't want to risk anything and the best option to keep things as they were was to keep the truth from Audrey.
"I guess my mood got a lot better after taking a stroll…,"
"If everyone's mood gets so fantastic after taking a stroll then I should have been happier than you since I strolled from my home here right?" Audrey asked not buying Joanna's lie.
She knew Joanna very well to know that she was lying.
Audrey knew that for Joanna to be this happy it wasn't something trivia that caused it.
"I…," Joanna took a step backwards when Audrey suddenly sniffed her clothes.
"Anna, why do you have another scent on you?" Audrey asked, her suspicious glares directed at Joanna's eyeballs.
"What… what are you talking about?" Joanna stammered, not able to convince Audrey with her reply.
In fact, the way she avoided Audrey's eyes made her look more suspicious.
"Anna, tell me were you with someone before you got here… Anyways you don't have to answer. I have the confidence of finding out the identity of the person you were with if I sniffed you one more time," Audrey said sternly.
She shifted closer and tried to sniff her clothes again but Joanna ran and stood with her back resting against the gate.
"Why… Why are you sniffing my clothes, hmm? Are you a dog who goes about sniffing others?" Joanna asked, looking very flattered.
Instead of scolding her, Audrey chuckled. "Hey silly girl, are you going around sneakily dating someone behind my back huh?" Audrey asked, winking naughtily at Joanna.
"Is that why you are scared that I will discover who he is?"
Joanna smiled in relief when she realised that Audrey couldn't associate the scent with Kayden.
Anyways, why would Audrey have suspected that Kayden was the person she was with when Audrey assumes that she hates Kayden just like she does.
In her wildest dreams would she suspect that out of all the people in the Kingdom it was Kayden she chose to hang out with.
"Stop letting your imagination go wild and return home now," Joanna said grinning.
"You are hiding secrets…,"
"Goodnight. Make sure not to hunt all night and forget that you have classes in the morning," Joanna waved at Audrey.
She opened the gate and walked in. She didn't allow Audrey to ask her further questions.
"Whatever may be the reason for her newfound happiness, then I am in full support of it because seeing her happy makes me triple happy," Audrey muttered, her gaze fixated on the black gate.
She only left the premises after seeing Joanna switch on the lights in her room.
Joanna freshened up and got ready to go to sleep.
She had already laid down when her cell phone dinged.
Picking up the cellphone she quickly checked who sent her a message.
Her lips curved into a beautiful smile when she read the message that contained a heart emoji.
"Goodnight my Queen. Don't forget to dream about your lover and King tonight. Heart".
This was the message Kayden sent to Joanna that got her grinning for three minutes.
Joanna was lost in her fantasy and didn't hear someone approaching her room until the knock at the door snapped her out of her daze.
She dropped the phone under the quilts and ushered the person in.
"Was I disturbing your sleep?" Mrs Adhara asked as she entered the room fully.
