[I am sorry I have to resort to lying to you. The truth is I was damn worried about you. You left with no other option other than to accept Fin's crazy plan]
Amos lowered his gaze to avoid looking directly at her eyeballs.
"I feel guilty when I rember how Fin reacted so let's forget about what happened earlier," He suggested.
Yes, he feels guilty when he recalled what happened but not for Mr Fin. His guilt was towards Joanna.
"Wait a minute while I finish cleaning. I will heat the food in the refrigerator for you," He said.
"Also, I might get busier in the coming days. I won't be able to concentrate on anything I will be doing if I leave you alone here so I will get one of the maids in the palace to keep you company," Amos inford softly.
"How busy will you be? Won't you be able to spend the morning or night with …,"
"I will be able to do that but at tis I might not be able to accompany you to campus," He replied.
The awkward silence that soon engulfed the room made both of them feel suffocated.
"Also, there is no need to get a maid to watch over …,"
"I would have asked Josephina to stay over when she cos to deliver the food in the morning but those in the palace will get suspicious if she doesn't return in ti. The best way to afford suspicions is to get a maid with a low rank…,"
"I just said I didn't need the services of maids…,"
"And didn't you hear when I said I wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything if I leave you alone?" Amos cut in.
The last thing he would do is leave Joanna all by herself, especially after the tragedies that happened twice when he wasn't by her side.
"Would you rather I spend so many days working on the case or would you prefer I get over it on ti so that I can co to be with you every day like in the past?" Amos asked, his gaze settled on her face.
"Who said I wanted you to be around all the ti?" Joanna asked shyly with her head lowered.
anwhile, as Joanna and Amos were talking Mr Fin's car ca to a halt on the lonely road when it ca across a familiar car.
The owners of the cars parked close to each other and wound down their glasses almost at the sa ti.
"What are you doing here, Fin, Kyle?" The two n chorused. The two of them stepped out of their cars.
With no car in sight, they didn't have to worry about inconveniencing other road users.
"So what brought you out of your beloved club all the way here?" Mr Fin asked after he and Kyle had greeted each other like they normally love doing.
"What else could make abandon all the enjoynt in the club if not your crazy friend who didn't hesitate to risk exposing his identity just to get back at a piece of garbage when his n could have easily done that," Kyle said.
He was stunned to the marrow when he saw the news of Amos beating up Mr Aidan.
He didn't believe his eyes despite watching the scene. Kayden had inford them he would keep a low profile with his new identity.
He and others aware of his fake identity believed his words because they didn't know the King to be a reckless person.
So why wouldn't he have been in shock to see the sa person making a headline after causing a scene on campus?
"As if that wasn't enough, he beca trending again after publicly fighting over her with a celebrity. I want to see him to make sure he is alright in the head," Kyle said, not minding that he was exaggerating so of the facts.
"If you are heading to his house then I will advise you against going to his house…,"
"Why is that? Aren't you just coming back from his ho?" Kyle asked. He took a proper look at Fin. His dishevelled hair and grey shirt caught Kyle's attention.
"And why do you look this way? Did you get into a fight with soone on your way here?" Kyle playfully asked not knowing that he guessed it right.
"Don't even go there Kyle," Mr Fin replied. He stood with his back leaning against the white car.
"I offered to help him solve his problem but I ended up getting badly bullied by him," Mr Fin relayed unhappily.
"Hehehe… He bullied you," Kyle could not resist laughing.
He tried not to laugh too hard when he saw Mr Fin frown at him.
"Let's park our car properly and find a place to talk. You must tell all that happened there, Kyle said beaming.
After properly parking their cars they found a spot to sit and chat.
Listening to the full story, the mischievous Kyle could not resist laughing at every interval.
"Why are you so laughing so much…,"
"Because it's fun. Also, I feel like it's not a bad thing to sacrifice for your best friend long ti happiness…,"
"If you think so then don't worry I will find a way for you to beco the sacrificial lamb very soon," Mr Fin said.
"No, no… I reject that. It feels awful letting soone in power like Kay bullies you. Do you know why?" Kyle said, standing up from the brown bench.
Mr Fin also stood up, "Why?" He quizzed.
"Because you will have to consider the consequences before the thought of avenging yourself crosses your mind," Kyle said smiling.
As they made their way to where they parked their cars the two friends continued conversing.
The next day, Amos left his apartnt after making sure Joanna was well-fed and had taken her drugs.
Not long after he left Raymond showed up like he was hiding sowhere waiting for this opportunity.
Joanna was on a call with Audrey when the doorbell rang. Because of this, she had to put a premature end to her conversation with Audrey.
"Why did he co back? Did he forget sothing at ho?" Joanna muttered as she made her way to the door.
