"Whether or not you want to meet her is up to you to decide so, suit yourself," Laura retorted and returned to where she came from.
"Did the Laura I know just show me the way to Anna's room instead of chasing me out of her home like she fondly does in the past?" Audrey muttered in disbelief.
"What has come over her huh?".
Audrey stared in the direction Laura went for a few seconds before she moved upstairs.
Following Joanna's scent was quite helpful in leading Audrey to the right room.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
Audrey waited for a response after she had knocked on the door.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Anna, it's me, Audrey," She went ahead to introduce herself for fear that Joanna wouldn't be able to know that she was the one at the door.
She was about to knock for the third time when she finally spoke.
"I have said I don't want to talk to you. I wasn't joking when I told you that so I will advise that you stop wasting your time on me," She yelled from inside.
"I came here to talk and explain things to you but you won't even give me a chance when I am already here. How cruel can you be to your best friend huh?" Audrey asked emotionally.
"You are...,"
"I won't let you in even though you try to blackmail me emotionally. You can ask Little rice ball how many times this attempt of his has failed if you think I am lying," Joanna refused to yield.
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
Audrey refused to give up. She knocked repeatedly but Joanna hardened her heart. She paid deaf ears to her constant knocks.
"Anna, I admit that I might have hurt you with my actions but I am here to explain myself and also apologise so, please will give me a chance hmm?" Audrey begged.
When she started hanging out with Kyle and neglected her best friend she should have known where this would lead but she didn't think this far.
Had she known this is how it would end up she wouldn't have kept her frequent outing with Kyle a secret.
Approaching footsteps made Audrey shift her gaze to where the noise came from.
"She isn't opening the door for you too?" Anthony asked. He took his position beside Audrey.
"Did she also shut you out?" Audrey asked, her attention concentrated on the face of the boy beside her.
"Hmm...," He shook his gaze affirmatively, his gaze not moving from the brown door in front of them.
"When she refused to open the door for me, I thought I did something to upset her but seeing how she didn't let you in I guess that is not the case," Anthony mumbled, sadness written all over his face.
"To be honest, you did nothing wrong. In fact, I am the one who made her upset. I am sorry you had to suffer too because of me," Audrey admitted her fault to the sad boy.
She raised her hand and caressed his hair gently.
"You upset Big Sis?" Anthony asked. He raised his head so that he had a clear view of Audrey's face.
"Did you apologise?" He asked innocently.
"I wish she allowed me to tell my part of the story but she won't," Audrey muttered. Her expression fell when she recalled how Joanna has been avoiding her since the incident.
"Just like how Big Sis can't stand to stay angry with me for a long time, I am sure that will be the same with you. She loves you very much so I am sure she will stop being upset with you. Don't worry," Anthony tried to cheer up the sad lady by his side.
"I wish it were that simple," Audrey mumbled.
Some minutes later Audrey made Anthony return to his room while she kept guard in front of Joanna's room.
She thought her opportunity would reach to talk to Joanna as long as she persevered but Joanna refused to come out of her room throughout the entire period Audrey she outside her door.
The once relaxed lady became uneasy when it was some minutes to midnight and Audrey still refused to give up.
[It's almost midnight and she is still stationed outside... This is my biggest opportunity to talk to him but how am I gonna leave without being stopped by her?]
Joanna shot a deadly glare at the entrance of the door.
At that moment she wished she had the power to make Audrey disappear from there so she won't have to worry about being tailed after she had left the house.
Joanna began to lose her cool as the time ticked.
She had already made up her mind to go out and confront Audrey but had to pause in her tracks when a cell phone rang.
"Hello," Joanna heard Audrey answer the line.
"You offered to follow me when I leave for operations today and I wanted to inform you that it's time already," A voice informed her from the other end.
There was a minute silence at both ends after he relayed the information.
"It's okay if you are not free today...,"
"I am free," Audrey blurted as she stared at the brown door in front of her.
"Every other thing can wait except this so wait for me. I will try my luck to talk to her again tomorrow," Audrey said and started walking to the stairs.
Joanna was so relieved after she could no longer perceive Audrey's scent close by.
"I was thinking of how to leave without arousing her suspicions. I guess luck must really be in my favour today," Joanna smiled.
She picked up her black face cap from where she dropped it at the foot of the bed.
And instantly she exited the room with her cell phone in her trouser's pockets.
Joanna was about to make her way to the stairs when she recalled how she refused to open the door for Anthony when he knocked earlier.
"Let me check on him and make sure he is asleep," She mumbled and approached Anthony's room.
