Chapter 172 Was That Kay?

When they were a building away from the competition arena, Joanna looked around her to make sure that no student was in sight.

After confirming that it was just her and Audrey around, she used her powers.

She disappeared only to surface in front of Audrey. To make sure that she didn't continue to run away, Joanna held her by the shoulders.

"How long are you going to run away from me huh?" Joanna questioned in anger.

Even though she was this angry Audrey still tried to break free but Joanna refused to give her what she wanted.

Through her unwavering grasp, she showed Audrey that she wasn't weak.

"If you are mad at me, you can scold, hit and scream at me but not avoid me," Joanna said emotionally.

Seeing how upset Joanna was when she was the one who should be angry at her made Audrey calm down a bit.

"I know I didn't keep my word yesterday and stood you up but we can talk things out or can't we?" Joanna demanded. She let go of Audrey's shoulders and turned her back on her.

"If our bond was this weak that something trivia like this can come in between us then I think we shouldn't remain friends…,"

"Hey, how dare you make such a suggestion?" Audrey cut in sharply. She held Joanna's right hand and spun her a little so she was facing her.

"And who said you can initiate our break up?" Audrey scolded fiercely.

"Do you think I would have been this upset if I didn't find out that the reason you stood me up was because of him?" asked Audrey, not able to hide her emotions anymore.

"Him?" Joanna muttered, a little taken aback that she found out that she was with Amos yesterday.

And not only that but she also discovered that he was the reason she didn't show up at the bar as promised.

[How did she find out…]

Joanna paused her thoughts when she recalled that all the things Amos purchased for her yesterday were kept at Audrey's apartment.

[Even I would have been very upset if I discovered that my best friend stood me up because of a man]

Joanna was lost at what to say or do to appease the angry lady standing in front of her.

"You let me spend the night at the bar so you have no right to get mad at me," Audrey scolded. She turned her back on Joanna in an instance.

Audrey was never the type to act petty over trivial things, especially not with her. Seeing how mad she is made her realize just how much she had hurt her feelings.

Joanna ran to stand in front of her when she noticed that Audrey was hurt.

"Drey, I know I was wrong in standing you up. I know I shouldn't have done that to you but believe me, I didn't have any choice," Joanna tried to explain.

"Stop giving me that pitiful look because I know you had a choice. You could have just said no to him when you knew that you had already promised to give me your night…,"

"Not when I held him a wish and he decided to use it yesterday," Joanna interrupted her softly.

"You held him a wish?" Audrey asked.

"Yes, we had a battle and I lost to him…,"

"Does he hits you?" Audrey demanded. Her expression showed what she would do if Joanna proved her suspicions right.

"Not that kind of battle you think it is… and he would never in his life lay his hands on me…,"

"Is that how much you trust him?" Audrey asked, sounding a little cool-headed.

"I don't know whether this could be called trust. I just have this strong feeling that he would never hurt him…,"

"I thought you liked that jerk Kayden. Never in my wildest imagination did I think that you would fall in love with another man like a fool," Audrey said. She started walking away with Joanna walking side by side with her.

She was too engrossed in the conversation to remember that she was very upset with Joanna.

"Who said I am in love with him…,"

"You can deceive every other person in this world except me," Audrey said. She didn't stop to walk.

Meanwhile, as Joanna and Audrey were trying to sort things out, Kayden was on a phone call in his room.

"Kay, how is your first ever vacation after becoming our King?" A guy sitting on a luxurious couch with his legs crossed asked. A sly smile appeared on his handsome face.

"I heard that you have been quite busy with a project even though you are on vacation. Tell me what this project is about?" Tom asked teasingly as he dusted the dirt off his green well-ironed trousers.

"Who told you that… anyways why do I even bother asking when I know that it is only Kyle who is gutsy enough to make reports about me," Kayden said as he stood up from the couch and walked to the glass window.

"You are tall, dashing, rich… in fact, you are the best man any lady can ever have so why is it difficult for you to win over a girl? You even had to embark on a mission just for her…,"

"Are you aware that you are speaking to your King?" Kayden asked as he lifted his right hand and stuck it into his trousers pocket.

"Do you know the punishment for mocking your King…"

"Yes, your Majesty," Tom said sarcastically.

"You are still ridiculing your King. Do you know that the punishment for mocking your King is…,"

"I don't care about the punishment since you can't deal with me even though I break the rules of the Kingdom," Tom said with pride.

"I will deal severely with you anytime I come to the human world," Kayden said as he lowered his gaze.

He was dumbfounded when his eyes met the wristwatch on his hand.

"Fuck I ask late!" Kayden muttered as he turned and dashed out of the room.

"What is the problem…,"

"It's all your fault for being such a talkative," Kayden puts all the blame on Tom.

"I…,"

"We will talk again some other day but not right now," Kayden said, instantly disconnecting the call.

"But…," Tom was surprised to see that Kayden had cut the call on him

Tom was still not over the shock when a tall slender lady in white heels entered the room with files in her hands.

"Was that Kay?" She asked. Her voice was melodic. The beautiful lady's red lips curved into a beautiful smile.
