For the sake of her sanity, Joanna stayed away from Kayden's table.
Joanna worked until an hour before her evening class.
After informing Mrs Parker about it and the woman gave her permission to leave, Joanna went to the locker room to change clothes.
When she returned to the counter and couldn't find Mrs Parker, she decided to ask her colleague Leah about her whereabouts.
"I saw Mrs Parker leave the cafe with the guy that was sitting over at that table," Leah said pointing at the table Kayden sat.
It was then Joanna realised that Kayden wasn't where she left him.
[Don't tell me Mrs Parker called him out to arrange for him and her cousin to meet?]
Joanna's thoughts run wild. Right there the images of Mrs Parker advertising her cousin to Kayden popped up in her head.
She violently shook her head to shake off the thoughts from her mind.
"The look on her face showed she had something important to discuss…," Joanna was already at the entrance of the cafe when Leah realised that she wasn't by her side.
"Why is she acting strangely and so unlike herself? Is the rumour that she is possessed by a demon true?" Leah muttered, her gaze glued on the entrance.
All Joanna's thoughts were that she would find Mrs Parker and Kayden in front of the cafe but unfortunately, on getting outside she couldn't find them there.
"Where could she have taken him to for crying out loud?" Joanna said angrily.
She instantly activated her inner senses and in no time she could sense him where he was.
"As I was saying, my cousin…," Mrs Parker was surprised to see Joanna appear from nowhere and grabbed the guy's hand.
"Sorry Mrs Parker, we need to leave. I'm almost late for my class," Joanna said, immediately walking away while holding onto Kayden's hand.
Mrs Parker stared at her momentarily speechless. " I never knew she was such a fast runner until today. What a waste that she hasn't realised her feelings for him?" Mrs Parker said, staring at Joanna and Kayden's departing back.
She returned to the cafe almost immediately.
Kayden willingly let her lead the way while holding his hand tightly like she was afraid he was gonna slip far away.
"Is this your way of announcing to everyone that I am yours?" Kayden asked, beaming.
"If my guess is true then I must compliment that this is a very unique method and I love…," Kayden paused when she turned and glared at him.
"Can you be at least serious when I am this upset?" Joanna said, releasing his hand at last.
"I mean it's even more upsetting to see you smiling when I am this furious," Joanna said, sounding pretty upset.
"Why are you upset, did someone annoy you when I was not around? Tell me and I will not hesitate to go back and teach that person a serious lesson…,"
"And just how are you gonna teach yourself a serious lesson huh?" Joanna asked, staring at his face.
"Oh… so you are trying to tell me that I am the reason you are upset. But why?" Kayden asked innocently, feigning ignorance about what she was saying.
"You clearly knew that she wanted to arrange a meeting with you for her cousin whom you happened to be her spec so why did you still follow her? And to worsen matters you were smiling so sweetly at her?" Joanna was too upset to think straight.
She was speaking about how she felt and didn't pause to think about what she was saying.
"Are you eager to get yourself another woman huh?"
Kayden stared at her momentarily lost at what to say.
He had guessed why she was so furious but hearing her state the reason by herself he found her angry side rather cute.
[She always acts very toughly like she can defeat the world. I wonder whether she is aware of how cute she is]
Kayden subconsciously smiled while in deep thoughts. His smile wasn't well-received by the angry lady standing in front of him waiting for his reply.
"Why are you smiling huh? Does your smile indirectly mean that you like the thought of hanging out…,"
"Are you perhaps jealous right now?" Kayden asked as he moved two steps closer to her.
"Jealous?" Joanna spits out the word as though it was bitter in her mouth.
"Would would I be jealous…,"
"Why does the mere hearing that I was gonna be introduced to another woman upsets you? Have you asked yourself this question huh?" Kayden asked, looking into her purple eyes in which there was still so much anger in them.
He raised his hand and held her cheek to keep her face in position.
"What other reason could there be other than the fact that I was trying to look out for you?" Joanna asked, maintaining her stern facade.
"Really?" Kayden asked, not sounding convinced at all.
"Of course, yes. You don't know what their household is like so I was only trying to look out for you and our people because there will be chaos in the land if our people lose such a good King…,"
"I never knew that you value so much the people who made life hellish for you all these years hmm," Kayden interrupted her softly.
As they were staring at each other passionately, the mean witches happened to drive by and unfortunately, they sighted Joanna and the guy whose gaze she couldn't avoid.
They parked and watched what was happening.
"Also, is telling her that I could be a womaniser, a bad person and a killer also considered as watching out for me too…,"
"You… you listened to our conversation," Joanna said, frowning.
"Your story was so interesting that my ears couldn't help but want to listen," Kayden said carefreely.
Joanna couldn't say anything to her defence anymore causing silence to take over.
"You were so very upset and disappointed earlier thinking that I had forgotten the promise of the surprise I made to you. You also went as far as lying to chase a prospective love rival away…," Kayden said, bringing his face very close to hers.
He didn't care about the passerby or anything else all he wanted was her sincere confession.
Everything else other than this was unimportant to him.
"Isn't all these signs indicating that you are in love with me so why won't you stop being in denial hmm?" Kayden stroked her face affectionately as he continued staring into her eyeballs.
"Isn't the girl standing there the Loser Joanna?" Nora asked despite already knowing that she is the one.
"Did I just hear that the swine is in love with that nerd in glasses?" Tiffany chuckled, an evil glint appearing in her eyes.
