Chapter 207 They Refused To Leave



Chris paused walking and tilted his head to the right so he was gazing at her. "And what if I am also in love, do you have a problem with that?" He asked, his eyeballs fixated on hers.

"As if I care," Audrey scoffed. "I am just afraid you will become a fool because of your feelings…,"

"Fool?" Chris questioned, his eyebrows squinted as he stared at the lady who seemed to be avoiding his eyes.

"Don\'t give me that look because I know what I am saying," Audrey defended herself. She and Chris moved away from the glass entrance to give way to the lady in a tight-fitted short dress approach where they stood.

"Someone very close to me became a complete fool after falling in love and that is why I am scared on your behalf," Audrey amplified with confidence.

[Someone close to her turned a fool after falling in love?]

Chris\' eyes glimmered when he thought about Audrey\'s words.

[Because she is a loner, Miss Joanna is the only person she gets along with… does this mean Miss Joanna is in love?... Wouldn\'t his Majesty be over the moon if he learns about this?]

A broad smile appeared on the face of the guy who was staring blankly.

Audrey didn\'t like the fact that she was being ignored so she snapped her finger at his face. "Hey!" Audrey shouted.

"Do you like her so much that you couldn\'t resist smiling like a fool?" Audrey asked with a frown.

Chris composed himself and acted as though nothing happened. "You just said someone close to you is in love, is that person Miss Joanna? And who is the person she is in love with?" Chris seized the opportunity to find out the truth.

If there is any information that could help the King realize his wish early, he wouldn\'t relent to doing anything to make sure that information is in his possession.

The twinkle in his eyes made Audrey arch her eyebrows as she wondered what on Earth was making him so happy.

"Why are you so interested in me tonight?" Audrey put her guard upon realising that she was divulging too much information to him.

"If not that I am well aware of our relationship I would have thought that I am the one you are in love with…,"

"Stop speaking rubbish," He interrupted with his voice raised higher than usual.

"If you are not then stop acting suspicious and leave before you cause a misunderstanding," Audrey said sternly as she turned to walk through the automatic glass entrance.

Chris spun and grabbed her hand, not letting her walk through the door that just opened.

"Since we have cleared up our misunderstanding, why don\'t we become friends, hmm?" Chris was quick to offer the hand of friendship first.

"Have you ever seen enemies become friends?" Audrey snapped while glaring at Chris\' hand which was still holding onto her.

"We have settled our differences so why are you still saying we are enemies?" Chris asked, frowning.

[Since Anna is in love with Amos, it will be unfair if I lead him on and make him believe that Anaa and his Majesty will still be together in the future. Although it saddens me that Kayden will be left with nothing after his sacrifices, I believe it\'s only right I stand by my friend]

Audrey shoved Chris\'s hand away when he wouldn\'t let go.

"Although you told me what really took place that night I never said I have forgiven you and him so what are you talking about?" Audrey asked firmly.

She tried to enter the building but for the second time, Chris held her hand.

"Even though you haven\'t forgiven me, that doesn\'t stop us from becoming friends," Chris said, not willing to back down. He was so ready to see to the end of this argument.

"When his Majesty and Miss Joanna become husband and wife, we are gonna see each other very often so instead of making things difficult for ourselves and them why don\'t we seize this opportunity to let bygones be bygones…,"

"And who said my Anna is gonna get married to the King huh?" Audrey attacked, her fierce glares directed at Chris.

"You…,"

"Stop lurking around and leave because I won\'t be able to save you if other residents call the police," Audrey cut in sharply. She walked into the building instantly.

Chris didn\'t proceed into the building. He had barely managed to make her believe him, what would he tell her if she caught him entering the building?

He didn\'t even want to imagine what the crazy lady would do.

[I have succeeded in collapsing the huge wall between us. Now it\'s only remaining to get her to open up to me… Getting her on our side will be more beneficial to the King than making her our enemy. Besides, she is a nice lady despite her foul temper]

Chris took a long stare at the lady who was standing in front of the elevator.

He swirled and disappeared into the night.

Back at the cafe Joanna and Leah couldn\'t close the cafe at the time they were supposed to because Mr Aidan and his three friends refused to leave.

For the tenth time, the frowning Leah looked at her wristwatch.

"Fuck!" Leah remarked as she banged her hand against the wooden table causing the four laughing customers to turn and look at her.

"When are those old fools gonna leave here? Was it their plans all along to make things difficult for us?" Leah questioned with a clasped fist.

"Weren\'t you happy that their bill is huge so what happened now? What made you so irritated with them huh?" Joanna standing with her back leaning against the grey wall asked nonchalantly.

"Of course, I am happy that everything they purchase was the most expensive products we offer but that doesn\'t mean they should make us work overtime ok?" Leah snapped.

"Besides I have a little sister waiting for me at home to return. You don\'t expect me to be happy just because they were the ones who made the biggest purchase today," Leah said as she paced about.
