"This was supposed to be a lady's outing but that will lose its meaning if I bring you guys along...,"
"You are meeting up with Audrey?" He asked. "I don't think Audrey will mind it if we follow you...,"
"And who said Drey is the only female friend I have?" She asked with her chin held up.
"Do you have any other one apart from her?" Amos and Anthony questioned their gaze glued on her face.
Looking at their questioning gaze made Joanna speechless. "Why did they have to be so blunt?" She mumbled and looked away from their faces.
After a minute she lowered her gaze and looked at them.
"Like I said it's a lady's outing so I can't let the two of you come along...,"
"But...,"
"Take care of each other and make sure not to go close to the kitchen," Joanna interrupted the unhappy Anthony.
"Also, call me if Drey returns," She instructed and turned to leave.
"Are you going to drink?" He asked. Joanna spun and looked in his direction.
"We are going to the bar so definitely there will be lots of drinks at our disposal," Joanna grinned and walked out of the room.
She didn't spare him another glance because she was certain she might call off the appointment if she set eyes on his pouting lips.
After she left Amos and Anthony came out of the room and stood on the balcony. They waited until she reached outside.
The two men didn't leave the balcony until they watched her disappear from the premises.
Joanna hailed a taxi some distance away from the apartment. As she waited for the taxi to reach the bar, all she could think about were the two men she left at home.
"I hope they will be alright without me," Joanna muttered as she stared at her cell phone lying on her legs.
When they finally reached the bar, Joanna highlighted. She paid the cab man and turned to face the building in front of her.
"Joanna, you need to stop thinking about those two men you left behind or else you will end up running home without having a great time," Joanna who couldn't stop remembering how Amos and Anthony almost set the kitchen on fire scolded herself.
"I can do it," She cheered. She sucked in a mouthful of air and exhaled deeply to calm her tensed nerves.
She strolled elegantly into the bar whose entrance was just ahead of her.
Inside the bar, Joanna had a lot of trouble locating her partner because of how dimly lit the bar was.
Another reason she couldn't locate her partner was the fact that she couldn't perceive her scent.
"Here," Joanna turned around in time to see a hand waving at her.
"There she is," She smiled and proceeded to the extreme part of the bar where her partner's table was.
Despite that the bar was a bit dark, Joanna still garnered attention from the men present at the bar.
Some couldn't take their eyes off her slender waist which sways according to every movement she made.
Reaching the brown table Joanna placed her cell phone and porch on the table before she sat down at the seat on the right-hand side.
"I just discovered that your scent is hard to detect just like Amos. Did you perhaps invent the scent-hiding perfume?" Joanna questioned after she had settled down.
"Not really," Amelia responded. She extended her hand and picked up the bottle of vodka and popped it open.
She poured the content into the two empty glasses and leaned back on the grey couch she sat on.
"Actually, Mr Greyson developed the scent-hiding perfume but he died just after the second experiment. He never got to see the final product of his invention...," Amelia trailed and took a sip from the glass of vodka.
"I only took over the experiment from where he stopped and made sure his invention didn't go down the drain before it even came into this world," She concluded. Her fallen expression didn't miss Joanna's notice.
"He was awesome in coming up with the idea of the scent-hiding perfume and you were even more awesome in making sure that the idea didn't get buried along with him," Joanna replied in a bid to make Amelia feel better.
"He can live a double life without being scared about anyone recognising his scent thanks to the perfume so I guess you are right about that," Amelia agreed. She forced on a smile and took another sip from the glass.
Joanna and Amelia continued chatting. Thank goodness Joanna chose not to wear a wristwatch and as such, she was saved from the distraction of always gazing at the watch.
With her cell phone kept far away from her arm's reach she was able to enjoy the night without any distractions.
"Seeing how he and you cooperated well in the fake relationship issue I believe you both know each other pretty well. And because you are his doctor he might have shown you sides of him he never showed me or anyone else so do you mind telling me more about him and his personality?" Joanna asked as she sipped from the glass of martini that the bar hostess delivered to their table not long ago.
"You have known him ever since he was a kid so I am sure you have seen different sides of him more than me whose times are often spent in the lab," Amelia chuckled and shook her head.
"Hmm...," Joanna trailed. She leaned backwards so her back rested against the grey couch.
"We have indeed known each other ever since we were kids but back then we hardly met except when he snuck out to accompany me and Drey," Joanna expressed.
She couldn't resist beaming when she recalled how beautiful the times she spent with Kayden in the past were.
Back then he always made sure he put a smile on her face before he left. And his efforts and perseverance paid off each time because she always ended up laughing no matter how rough the day was.
