Chapter 430 Audrey Left Again
It was then she realised that Mr Donald was still holding her hand.
"Can you let go of me?" Joanna demanded her gaze concentrated on the man's hand which was still clutching her left hand.
Mr Donald quickly let go of her, "I am sorry...," Joanna had already rushed off without allowing him to apologise.
"She is always in a rush whenever we meet. I wonder why it's so," Mr Donald mumbled as he stared at the direction Joanna went.
He was lost in thought and didn't realize that someone had been watching him.
"I guess I will have to find a suitable time to talk to her," He muttered and turned to leave but only for him to trip on someone's leg.
Mr Donald immediately lost his balance and staggered backwards. He would have sustained a bad fall had the guy who tripped him not offered him a hand to lean on.
"Are you alright?" The guy asked Mr Donald whose heartbeat he could hear pound so hard as if it was gonna jump out of his chest.
"Y-yes...," Mr Donald stuttered. He tried to compose himself before he attempted to talk for the second time.
"I am fine Amos," Mr Donald replied. He finally let go of Amos' hand after he was able to stand alone.
"Look where you are going. I am afraid you will get yourself into trouble if you don't heed my advice," Amos smiled at the man.
He spun and left after he said what was on his mind.
"I only took pity on you and lent you a hand because I am aware that you don't know what you are getting yourself into. But I doubt I will be this kind the next time you hit on my woman in my presence," Amos muttered when he was far away from where Mr Donald stood.
Despite how fast she ran Joanna was only able to catch up to Audrey almost at the gate of the campus.
"I thought you promised we were gonna have a serious discussion today so where do you think you are going huh?" Joanna shouted to get the attention of the lady heading towards the huge gate.
Her loud voice made those around all turn and look at her including the lady whom she was addressing.
"Were you perhaps planning to go back on your words if I didn't run after you...,"
"Anna...,"
"Don't talk to me," Joanna hissed. She turned to leave but only to bump into the lady which just appeared in front of her.
"I am sorry. I wasn't in haste because I forgot my promise to you but it's just that someone is waiting for me outside the gate...,"
"And who is that?" Joanna demanded. "Is that person more important than me?".
She stared into Audrey's eyes as she demanded answers. Because of this, she was able to see Audrey's eyes falter following her question.
"Is the person you are referring to perhaps your mum or dad?" Joanna was pushed to guess because of what she noticed.
"If you have an appointment with your parents then you can leave. I won't waste your time but make sure to answer my calls later ok?" Joanna agreed without even waiting to listen to Audrey's reply.
If only she knew that her guess was wrong then she wouldn't have been so big-hearted. Instead, she would have done everything within her power to stop Audrey from leaving.
"I will," Audrey replied.
She embraced Joanna before she turned to leave.
"Drey, I am just curious to know whether you have been staying at your parent's home these past few days," Joanna asked, her gaze glued on Audrey's back.
Audrey swivelled and gazed at where Joanna stood.
"I left the apartment so that you could spend an uninterrupted moment with your man, don't tell me you are not satisfied with my gift?" Audrey asked.
She was crafty with her response and too bad Joanna didn't see through this.
"You...,"
"I know you love it so stop pretending already," Audrey cut in.
"My advice for you as your best friend is that you make the best out of the remaining days you have. Who knows I might not be so generous next time," Audrey winked naughtily at Joanna.
She soon left after biding Joanna farewell.
When Amos caught up to her, she was still gazing at the campus entrance even though Audrey was long gone.
"So how did it go? Have you girls made up already...,"
"I am sure you heard everything we said so why bother asking when you know I got stood up by my best friend?" She mumbled and walked back into the campus.
Amos followed her closely.
"Shouldn't you be happy you got stood up? I mean we get to spend time together because of this...," Joanna paused almost causing him to bump into her.
"You are happy I got stood up because we get to spend time together but what if I said I don't want to spend time with you hmm?" Joanna asked, her gaze locked with his.
"You...," Joanna took her attention away from him after she perceived a familiar scent nearby.
Lifting her head she saw Derrick approaching their direction.
"Derrick," She called out with her hand raised in the air so he could easily spot her.
Derrick looked in her direction but what he did next left Amos and Joanna puzzled.
"What the hell is wrong with him?" Amos muttered, his gaze concentrated on the back of the guy who just walked past them without uttering a word.
In fact, the way he acted was as if they were a mere passing breeze and nothing more.
"Did I do something wrong that would warrant him to ignore me in such a brutal manner?" Joanna muttered.
She thought hard about what she must have done to get such treatment from Derrick. And at the end, she couldn't recall doing or saying anything to upset him in any way.
"Maybe he is in a bad mood so there is no need to think too much about what has happened. I am sure it's nothing," Amos assured.
