"Were you perhaps pretending that you wanted to publicly avenge all her sufferings?"
"Of course not, Your Majesty," Chris was too interested in defending himself and didn't pay attention to the road.
He was about to drive into a big tree had Kayden not stretched and grabbed the steering, diverting the course of the car.
"I am sorry, Your Majesty," Chris apologized with his head slightly bowed.
"If you cared about her sufferings like you wanted me to believe then you will turn a blind eye to the Queen's ghost story," Kayden said sternly, not pursuing the near-accident case.
"Since her ghost has decided to take revenge then let it take revenge as much as it wants…,"
"Also isn't it funny seeing everyone tremble at the sight of the girl they trampled under feet in the past?" Kayden's lips curled into a sly smile as he talked.
"If you are not having fun seeing them this way then I do. In fact, it would be better if she drove them crazier than she has already done," Kayden took Chris by surprise with his words.
Chris had nothing more to say following the King's words so he ignited the car and drove off.
Joanna, who was pretending earlier that she didn't care about Kayden's absence, came out of the hut immediately after he left.
She stared blankly at the spot she last saw him standing.
"Why did he have to leave so early?" Joanna muttered with a sad expression.
"Now that he is gone then how am I supposed to spend the long day ahead? Who is gonna keep me smiling and angry at the same time for the entire day," Joanna subconsciously smiled when she recalled the memories of her time with Kayden in the forest.
The instant she returned he was right at the cliff to welcome her.
He has made her smile and angry so many times. There were times she even pretended that she didn't like his company.
He has been nothing but extremely good to her. Within these short periods, he has made her feel all sorts of emotions.
Even some emotions she has never felt before in her entire life.
If she was asked to list some of the happiest memories of her life, the past days she has spent with him would have undoubtedly been included in that list.
"I guess I have no other choice than to enter the Kingdom to find things to break my boredom," Joanna grinned evilly as she turned and went back to the hut.
When she came out of the hut she was wearing a black hoodie and a face cap.
"I am good to go now," Joanna muttered as she disappeared immediately.
Joanna roamed about the streets looking for something interesting that might catch her interest.
She was about to cross the road when from where she stood she saw a familiar car pulling into a boutique.
"I was looking for what to do and she brought herself to me on a platter of gold. Should I perhaps thank her for this?" Joanna smirked as she stared at the lady who had just come out of the car and walked into the boutique.
Some minutes later, a girl in a black hoodie approached the entrance of the boutique. Unlike other customers who were let into the boutique, she was blocked by the security guard for some unknown reason.
"Sorry but you are not allowed into the boutique," The security guard in black suits said as respectfully as he could.
It was after she was stopped from entering the boutique that Joanna recalled one of the policies of the boutique.
People of the lower class were not allowed into the boutique. Only the elites of the elite were let in.
Joanna lowered her gaze and stared at what she was wearing.
At the moment she was wearing blue ripped jeans, a pair of blue sneakers and a black hoodie.
She didn't need anyone to tell her why she was not allowed into the boutique.
"You won't let me in even though I have this?" Joanna asked as she showed the security guard the black card she removed from her trousers pocket.
The security guard was shocked at the sight of the limitless black card.
He apologized repeatedly to Joanna to show how sincerely sorry he was.
"It's ok. Mistakes can be made. Besides, it was my fault for dressing shabbily," Joanna said smiling as she walked gracefully into the boutique.
"His black card sure came handy when I needed it the most," Joanna beamed on recalling the day Kayden shoved his black card into her hand and refused to collect it back no matter how hard she tried.
Joanna was following Tiffany, looking for the perfect opportunity to strike when she saw Audrey approaching their direction.
Joanna looked away in a flash to avoid being seen by Audrey.
[What the hell is she doing here?]
Joanna gritted her teeth. She turned her back on her and pretended as though she was checking out the green dress in front of her.
"Wow, look at who is here! I never knew that swans wear designers," Tiffany said sarcastically when Audrey reached where she stood.
"Swans don't wear clothes not to mention wearing designers, how come you are too dumb to know such simple facts," Audrey snapped, not backing down.
"You…," Tiffany lowered her raised index finger and also paused what she wanted to say when she realised that people were staring at her.
"I won't blame you since it is very obvious that you are still mourning over your dead loser friend," Tiffany said loudly for others to hear.
"It's true that I am still mourning her but I will advise that you be careful of how you call her name in case you get visited by her ghost wwuuhhaa…," Audrey demonstrated what she meant, making Tiffany jerk backwards in fear.
"Relax, I was just kidding but I will advise that you still be careful. Who knows her ghost might be hovering around you right now," Audrey grinned evilly before she resumed walking.
She walked past the girl in a hoodie without sparing her a glance.
Tiffany was still terrified two minutes after Audrey left.
[I am sure she was only saying that to get back at me for getting on her nerves]
The scared Tiffany tried to reassure herself that everything was fine.
"Madam, do you still want me to package the dress," the sales representative in a white long sleeve shirt asked politely.
"I will try it out first," Tiffany replied. She collected the white dress from the lady's hands and proceeded to the changing room.
[Since Drey has given me the go-ahead, why don't I do as she said. I can already tell that it will be fun seeing her dashed out of the boutique like a crazy person]
Joanna's smile grew creepy as she stared at the lady who was now far away from where she stood.
She also proceeded to the changing room after picking a pink dress.
In the dressing room, Tiffany was happily changing her dress when suddenly she felt as if someone was standing behind her.
Raising her gaze to stare at the mirror she saw the same figure they saw at the villa.
"Ghost arghh…," Tiffany yelled instantly, taking to her heels.
On sighting Tiffany running, other customers who didn't know what happened took to their heels on hearing her scream the word GHOST.
"Hahaha… Have I been too hard on them that is why everyone is acting this way," Joanna laughed seeing how everyone was running out of the boutique.
[Seeing how terrified they are at the hearing of my name, I guess I have realised my wish of becoming their greatest nightmare]
Joanna smiled broadly. Amid the commotion, she exited the boutique.
