"And I am sure you wouldn't want to listen to what will become of such a person if the palace gets involved in the case right?" He quizzed, his cold gaze settled on Mr Finley's stoic face.
"I and the school will make sure to give you a satisfying explanation for what happened today as soon as possible..."
"You better do so because I can't tell for how long I will be able to hold myself back," Kayden retorted and signalled the guys standing outside to get into the car.
[Yes, this is my chance right now!]
Joanna declared. She rubbed her palms together, stood properly and moved towards where four cars were parked in a row.
"Who is there?" Chris demanded the moment he felt the presence of someone. He, the other guards and Mr Finley spun and gazed at where the figure was.
Because of the hoodie the person wore they couldn't guess who the person was. The fact that the person possessed no scent made them more suspicious.
Joanna forged ahead despite Chris' constant warnings and threats.
"Although I don't know who you are, one thing I am aware of is that you won't be able to handle the aftermaths of your rudeness tonight. And that is why I will advise that you think carefully before you take another step further," Mr Finley said in a stern voice.
A sweet smile lingered at the corner of her lips when she realised that they couldn't tell who she was.
She lifted her hands and pulled down the black hoodie covering her pretty face.
"Mr Fin, what exactly are these consequences you talked about and how huge is it?" Joanna demanded to the surprise of the one occupying the back seat of a black Mercedes Benz Jeep in the front row of the four cars.
He couldn't resist looking back to confirm that the voice he heard really belonged to her and wasn't part of his imagination.
"Miss Joanna!" Chris mumbled with widened eyes. He peeped towards the car but he couldn't see the face of the only occupants of the car since the glasses were tinted.
"Chris, you always followed His Majesty wherever he went. In these past years, you have seen me even more than my own father. I am hurt you weren't even able to recognize me," Joanna mumbled as she faked a sad expression.
Knowing that they wouldn't stop her from getting closer anymore Joanna continued to approach the car her eyes were set on.
"Miss..."
"It's ok. I guess it was my fault for trying to act mysterious," Joanna muttered. She paused in front of the black Mercedes Benz Jeep she had her eyes on from the beginning.
Joanna took a deep breath before she lifted her right hand and tried to pull the car open but only to realise that the car's door was locked.
Slowly she bent and peeped into the car whose back windows had already been wound down.
"Why?" She asked, her gaze fixed on the face of the guy whose eyes had been focused on her ever since he confirmed that the intruder was none other than his beloved.
"Are you still mad at me?" She added while gazing into his eyeballs. "Kay, am I not even allowed to throw tantrums again? Is that why you are shutting me out?" Joanna demanded in a serious tone.
"Miss Joanna, I understand that you and His Majesty are close but I will advise that you watch your manners. Others will see fault with your words and comment on it even if I don't. There are so many prying eyes here if you must know," Mr Fin cautioned.
"You might get into..." The door of the car Joanna pulled earlier flew open before Mr Fin could scold her more.
Joanna's eyes lit up the moment the door opened. She stared at the face of the guy whose attention has been shifted away from her.
"Chris, let's go. I still have a few things to take care of in the palace," Kayden ordered, as he looked at the glowing buildings of the university.
Without wasting time, Chris along with the driver moved to the front seat of the car Kayden occupied.
The other security guards entered their various cars and got ready to leave as soon as Chris gave the other.
When she saw that the car didn't drive off despite that everyone had taken their position Joanna was made to understand that he was waiting for her.
"Goodbye, Mr Fin. See you next semester," Joanna said hurriedly and hopped into the car.
"I have told Chris countless times that not just anyone can share the same seat with His Majesty. I wonder why none of them had ever listened to me?" Mr Fin mumbled. He looked at the car whose glasses had been rolled up as soon as Joanna entered.
"Set off," Chris gave the order at last. A black set off first, then the car Kayden was in, followed by the other cars.
As they set off, the cars maintained this order even after they left the university premises.
Back at where the performances were held, Raymond searched the crowd for Joanna but he just couldn't find her no matter how hard he looked.
His gloomy face lit up the moment he got a glimpse of a group of people who were about to leave.
lightsΝοvel "Tony, I have finally found you!" Raymond gasped, relief written all over his face.
"Brother Ray!" Anthony shouted beaming. He hopped onto Raymond's body before he could guess what the little boy was up to.
"Brother Ray, do you know just how awesome you were when you were on the stage?" Anthony quizzed. His broad smile was so contagious that it made Raymond momentarily forget about his concern.
"You thought I was awesome?" Raymond teased. He raised his right hand and stroked Anthony's smiling face.
"Hmm..." Anthony shook his head in affirmation. "It was as if I was seeing one of my superheroes perform on stage," Anthony added. His innocent yet sparkling eyeballs showed that he wasn't lying.
Anthony went ahead and blabbed away and Raymond was kind enough to listen to all he had to say.
