She snuck a peep at the ladies when she heard noises coming from the direction of their table.
"My pictures are posted on the internet?" Raymond half screamed. He returned the cup of espresso to the table and carried his phone laid on the table.
Instantly, he navigated through his social media. It didn't take him up to a minute to see that his picture had gone viral.
Despite that he wasn't happy about this he was relieved that the ones who posted his pictures captured at the cafe didn't post anything that had to do with Joanna.
"Do you now understand what I meant when I said it takes more than plain clothes to hide such a face like yours?" Joanna playfully said.
Raymond took his gaze off the phone in his hand. He peered at her face for a few seconds without uttering a word.
"You keep staring at me. Do I have something on my face?" She asked and caressed her right cheek.
"No...," He shook his head negatively. He still didn't look away from her face despite his response.
"Then why?" She demanded in a serious tone.
"You kept complimenting me ever since we saw each other today. This is something you haven't done before...,"
"That's because...,"
"Does this mean that you are smitten by my looks?" He interrupted before she could say whatever was on her mind.
He touched his face as he waited for her reply.
The ladies' murmurs became louder following Raymond's bold question.
Mrs Parker who was about to collect a card from a customer paused what she wanted to do and shot Raymond a murderous glare.
"Is he acting this way because he is not aware of whose woman he is messing with or is he doing this despite being aware of this," Mrs Parker mumbled, her gaze focused on the guy whose stare hasn't left Joanna's body for a second.
"Does he have a death wish?" She quizzed. She subconsciously clenched her fist and momentarily forgot that there was a customer in front of her.
"I beg your pardon!" The man standing in front of the counter exclaimed. His angry voice brought Mrs Parker's attention back to what was doing.
"I wasn't talking to you. Don't be offended," Mrs Parker quickly apologized to the young man whose frown had spread across his handsome face.
Back at Raymond's table, Joanna opened her mouth to tell the guy the reply she was certain he wouldn't love to hear.
But before the words could form a man's angry voice emerged from behind her. "Do you have no better job other than going around hitting on another man's woman?"
The voice which has been etched in her mind echoed in the cafe.
"Wasn't he supposed to be at home so what the hell is he doing here?" Joanna mumbled. She swirled and gazed at her back.
Despite that she already recognised his voice she was surprised to see him there.
[How come he got so close and yet I couldn't perceive his scent from miles away?... Is something wrong with my powers]
She was in deep thought as she gazed at the guy's frowning face.
The white notification screen appeared as if it could read her mind.
<All functions are in perfect condition. There is nothing abnormal with your powers>
Joanna was a bit relieved to see that her fears were unnecessary.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom Joanna was even more amazed to see Anthony come out of Amos' back where he hid.
"What are the two of you doing here?" She demanded. "Shouldn't you both be at home waiting for my return...,"
"Why? Are you angry because we saw or heard what we shouldn't have?" Amos asked, his fierce glares concentrated on Raymond's face.
"Of course not," Joanna replied. She moved closer to him when she saw his angry face.
"I am just surprised because none of you mentioned you were coming to the cafe," She explained as concisely as she could.
Amos tried his best to keep his temper in check. He gazed at her after he had gotten rid of the frowns on his face.
"That is because your little man wouldn't stop talking about how much he missed and wanted to see you," Amos lied without batting an eyelid.
Luckily for him, Anthony didn't say contrary to his words or else he would have gotten exposed right there.
"After a lot of thinking I decided to bring him here. By doing this not only will I grant his wish but we would also increase your cafe's sales," He went ahead to expatriate even though Joanna didn't ask him to do that.
"Is it really my little rice ball who missed me or is it a certain someone who couldn't wait to see me and resorted to using my innocent brother...," He coughed twice and drew closer to her.
He held her hand and tucked it close to his chest.
"What are you talking about...,"
"You know exactly what I mean so there is no need to keep on pretending hmm?" Joanna whispered.
She completely forgot everything about Raymond following her jealous boyfriend's arrival.
"Does it matter who between the two of us missed you?" He asked shamelessly. "What matters is that we are here to boost your cafe sale...,"
"Are you here to boost her sales or is it your intention to get her fired? Because from the looks of it, it seems like you have forgotten where we are," Raymond snapped.
"And how is that any of your business?" Amos retorted.
"Also, aren't you here as a customer so how come you are blatantly flirting with her in broad daylight?" Amos questioned.
"Don't you know the way to the club or other places to find a woman to lay with...,"
"Amos, that is enough. Raymond was only kidding around so there is no need to say all these to him," Joanna intervened.
She knew too well that things would escalate in seconds if she didn't put an end to this sooner.
