"Joan, you are misunderstanding something here," Mr Fin tried to call her attention. He didn't like the feeling of being scolded by a younger lady at all.
Especially when what happened was just an act. At that moment he regretted coming up with this idea.
If he had known that Kayden was gonna modify their plans at the last minute and used him to get his woman to open the door he wouldn't have executed the plan.
[I will surely get back at this sly King some other times]
He was too distracted to realize that he was glaring at Amos and Joanna happened to see him.
"You are even glaring at him…,"
"I know you wouldn't believe whatever I say so I think I should leave," Mr Fin said, standing up from the couch where he sat.
He secretly scowled at the guy who was trying his best not to burst out in a peal of deafening laughter.
"Finley, I know it was bad of me to provoke you that way so I apologized…,"
"You…," Mr Fin was speechless at how Amos spun all the blame on him.
He lowered his outstretched hand when he realized that even though Amos doubled-crossed him things still turned out the way they wanted.
"I will visit some other time," Mr Fin said. He made his way to the entrance afterwards.
"Let me see you to the door," Amos obliged as he ran after Mr Finley.
At the door, Mr Fin turned and grabbed Amos on the collar. He glared at the smiling guy.
For a minute there he forgot the true identity of Amos.
"Are you dying to get scolded again huh?" Amos asked not finding Mr Finley's actions offensive the slightest bit.
From his smile it was obvious he was having a good time with his little act.
"How could you brazenly say that after you turned my kindness against me?" Mr Fin questioned. He didn't release Amos' collar.
"What the heck are you saying? This was all your idea from the beginning, have you forgotten?" Amos was quick to deny his allegations.
"You…,"
"I indeed modified it a bit but a friend should be willing to do this much for another friend, don't you agree with me on that?" Amos asked, beaming.
Not only did he get Joanna to come out of the room but he was able to get back at his friend who always joined hands with Kyle and Tom to bully him so how could he not be happy?
"You joined hands with your woman to bully me. Just wait and see how I will get back at…,"
"Amos, is everything ok?" Joanna's worried voice disrupted their little argument.
"Of course everything is fine. He is on his way now," Amos shouted for Joanna to hear.
"Will you let go of me now?" Amos asked in hunched tones afterwards. He tried to free himself but Mr Fin won't let go of his collar.
"Are you sure you want to keep this up huh?" Amos asked. He let go of Mr Fin's hands still holding his white collar.
"It's ok if you don't want to let go but I am sure you won't go away with only a scolding if she comes here…," Amos trailed off as he winked naughtily at his friend.
"I am most certain she will forget the fact that you are her lecturer and attack you if she sees you holding…,"
"You...,"
"Just accept that you lose to me this time around. Leave now when she isn't mad with rage ok?" Amos' smile broadened as he tapped Mr Fin's shoulders.
Two minutes later Mr Fin was seen heading to the elevator defeatedly.
Amos returned to the sitting room after watching Mr Fin enter the elevator.
He met Joanna trying to clean up the mess they created in the sitting room.
Amos hurried to her side when she saw her trying to pick up the broken glasses on the floor.
"You are hurt so take a seat," He said. He held her shoulders and lifted her so that she was standing up.
"The house is a mess…,"
"I will handle it. Don't worry," He assured her. He tried to guide her to the couch but she refused to move a muscle.
"It's not nice to let you clean this up. Your identity is way…,"
"Your well-being is way more important to me than my identity so stop being stubborn or I will be upset," Amos said. Before she could decline, he bent and lifted her off her feet.
He carried her to the centre of the room and gently placed her on one of the couches.
"You are the one stubborn one here, not me," Joanna muttered. Her eyes followed Amos as he went about returning the fallen items to their original positions.
Those that were broken were properly arranged in a spot by him.
"Although I haven't seen you guys interact many times but judging from the two times I witnessed you both talk I can tell that you have a close bond with him so what happened earlier?" Joanna asked softly.
"What was the reason you got into such a fierce fight with him?" She demanded meekly.
"Hmmm… I guess he took out his anger on me because he is jealous of me," Amos replied nonchalantly without stopping what he was doing.
"He is jealous of you?" Joanna asked in confusion. "But why".
Amos lifted the fallen flower pot and returned it to its previous position. He spun and faced her afterwards.
"Yes, he saw me very worried when he arrived and asked me what happened. Then I relayed to him what transpired between you and Amelia. He got angry for no reason when I jokingly said he wouldn't understand my plight because he has never had a girlfriend," Amos lied without stuttering or exhibiting the trait of a nervous individual.
"He hurt you just because you made a joke?" Joanna asked in disbelief.
