"She took off in haste so whoever called her must have been someone important. Someone she couldn't refuse," Leah replied. She carried the two cups of coffee and placed them on the tray lying on the counter.
She spun and went to deliver her orders.
Turning around to look at the customers, Joanna's expression changes when her gaze went in the direction Amos previously sat.
"They must be having tons of fun right now," Joanna mumbled.
Throughout the remaining minutes they spent in the cafe Joanna really wasn't herself.
Apart from acting sensitive to every little thing, she was unable to smile.
After locking the glass door, with her head lowered Joanna turned and walked away.
She was so absent-minded that she wasn't even aware of her environment.
Aimlessly she walked to wherever her legs took her.
When she became aware of her surroundings she was surprised to find herself on a dark street.
"Gosh, what the hell am I doing here and how did I get here?" Joanna muttered as she looked around the dark environment.
Apart from the fact that the street was dark, there were no single souls around.
There was endless quietness around.
"Why does this place look so familiar?" Joanna asked.
The yellow building on her left-hand side and the status of a lion on the right rang a bell in her memory.
"Where on Earth did I see this?" Joanna mumbled. Standing there something inside of her told her she was forgetting something important.
She closed her eyes and tried to recall whether she had been there before.
Joanna's eyes fluttered open with a sparkle in them. "Yes, I remember it now," Joanna's face lit up.
"How can I forget that this was the place Kay brought me to celebrate my victory after I dealt seriously with everyone at the party," Joanna's smile broadened when she recalled that fateful night.
All that happened on that night flashed before her eyes like it happened just yesterday.
"He was so sweet to me, I wondered what changed?... Why did he choose her over me?" Joanna clasped her fist when she remembered how he said he would take a raincheck with her.
"He abandoned me last night but only for him to do the same tonight. I really hate him right now," Joanna said. She was about to turn around and retrace her steps when she felt the presence of someone.
In a flash, she spun and looked at where she felt the person's presence. "Who is there?" Joanna demanded sternly, her gaze focused on the white pillar.
"Show yourself," She ordered. When no response came, she disappeared and reappeared in front of the pillar.
"I was so sure that someone was here so how come none is here?" Joanna scrutinized the place with her sharp eyes.
She was even more astounded to find out that none was around.
"Did I make a mistake?" She asked.
Joanna began walking away after confirming that no one was around.
Knowing that Anthony was not at home, Joanna didn't see the need for her to sleep over at her home, especially after the mess she caused.
Even though she knew Laura and Adhara won't make things difficult for her after her warning, she wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping under the same roof with them.
In her bedroom, Audrey was seen playing games on her laptop at her study table.
Her gaze averted to the entrance when she heard the main door dinged.
"Wasn't she supposed to sleep over at her home so why is she here?" Audrey mumbled.
She stood up and walked to the door. Before she could hold the door's handle, the door flew open.
"Anna, how…," she was stunned to see the gloomy face Joanna walked past without sparing her a glance.
Reaching the bed Joanna threw her handbag on the bed and sprawled on it like someone who doesn't have a life inside of her.
Audrey was surprised to see the usual vibrant Joanna so lifeless.
"What is wrong, Anna?" Audrey questioned. She spun and walked to the side of the bed Joanna lay.
"Are you feeling sick?" Audrey extended her right hand and examined Joanna's forehead.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "Even though I was sick, do you think you would have been able to detect it with your hand," Joanna said as she brushed Audrey's hand away from her forehead.
"And that's why I asked you," Audrey said as she lowered herself on the bed.
"I had no choice but to imitate what humans always do because you ignored my question".
"Do you care for something to eat?" Audrey asked as she stood up from the bed.
"I am sure you must be starving and guess what?" Audrey said smiling with hopes that she will cheer Joanna up.
"What is it?" Joanna replied gloomily.
"Take a guess hmm," Audrey bent and grabbed her hand laying on the bed. Even though Audrey looked very excited, her excitement didn't have any impact on Joanna.
"I have learned how to cook egg omelette, one of your favourites. I am sure you will feel better…,"
"I am not hungry," Joanna's reply made Audrey's smile fade away.
"If you can say no to an omelette dish that is one of your favourites then I guess whatever happened is not trivial," Audrey replied as she sat back down on the bed.
"Weren't you with Amos, so what happened? Didn't you guys settle your misunderstanding?" Audrey tried to guess what was wrong.
Instead of answering Audrey's questions, she turned her back on her.
"What exactly did he do to make you act this way? Did he hurt you?... Tell me and be sure that I will avenge you," Audrey coaxed. She extended her hand and stroked Joanna's hair.
Audrey continued to coax her but Joanna still would not tell her what was wrong with her.
"Since you won't tell me anything then I will call to ask him what he did to my darling best friend..,"
"Don't," Joanna turned and grabbed Audrey's hand not letting her stand up from the bed.
"He must be having a good time with her so don't disturb them…,"
"He is having a good time with whom?" Audrey asked in confusion.
"He has another woman?".

HAPPY NEW MONTH!!!
HAPPY SEPTEMBER 🎉🎉🎉
Hello amazing readers, happy new month once again. It's a new month and as you all know, it's also time to set new goals but before we dived into our goals for this month, I have something to tell you guys.
Guess what????
I just received my first review after a long time, yay!!!
And can you guess when I got this review?
Surprise... I got it on the 1st of September. I am so happy right now.
Because of the review, I feel so optimistic about this month. I have this amazing feeling that more surprises are gonna come my way this September 2022 from you guys.
Guys please prove me right and surprise me by completing the goals listed below.
One more thing before I list our goal for September, I just want to say a big thank you to all my readers who supported me exceptionally last month.
Thank you and let's do even better this month. GOALS FOR SEPTEMBER, 2022.
GOAL 1: 1K (1,000) = 6 chapters mass release. As long as we reach 1,000 privileged chapters unlocked this month, this lovely author here is gonna surprise you guys with 6 chapters mass release.
Please, guys, support me to reach this particular goal this month. I promise I will be good to all of you.
Also, you don't have to buy the highest privileged tier if you can't afford it. No matter the tier you purchase as long as you unlock the privileged chapters daily, this author here is gonna be forever grateful to you.
GOAL 2: 50 GOLDEN TICKETS = 2 chapters mass release. Give me all your GOLDEN TICKETS and you won't regret it, everyone, I will make sure of it.
GOAL 3: 100 Power Stones = 3 chapters mass release. Guys, I realised recently that there is a mistake I have been making concerning this particular goal.
The power stone goal is a weekly goal and not a monthly goal. And this is because the power stone ranking gets renewed every month.
Now you know this, then what are you waiting for? Give me all your power stones and stand a chance to get 3 chapters mass release every week.
P.S: Don't forget that there is also a reward attached to SUPER GIFTS so send the gifts coming... (Coughs) I won't reject it if you decide to send me a MAGIC CASTLE or a SPACECRAFT.
Your dearest author loves you all very much ❤️❤️❤️.
