Standing up from the bed Audrey strolled to the left-hand side of the room where she had kept the clothes.

"You think this outfit is ordinary?" asked Audrey as she took the designer\'s shirt and trousers in her arms.

"Yeah, I was thinking of wearing an eye-catching dress that outlines my perfect figures…,"

"And have you forgotten when I said you should look natural and keep low-key?" Audrey asked, frowning.

"Also, if you think this outfit looks ordinary then I bet with you that even after you go through your entire wardrobe you will be unsatisfied with every piece of clothes you have," Audrey said.

She leaned against the brown table with the outfit in her hands.

"No matter what you say I still think…,"

"Be good and do like I said hmm," Audrey cut in not allowing her to lay down her complaints.

"Because you spent almost an hour showering, you have a little time to prepare. Get on it now except you want to lose a point for arriving late at work…,"

"Even Mrs Parker doesn\'t deduct my paycheck if I arrive at work late so who is she to do that?" Joanna said, frowning.

"But I wasn\'t talking about Amelia," Audrey replied. She couldn\'t resist laughing at how offensive her friend became at the mention of Amelia.

"Really?" Joanna asked, her angry expression fading away. "Who were you talking about if not her?"

She used the blue towel in her hand to wipe her wet hair.

"I was talking about your prince charming of course," Audrey\'s smile broadened seeing Joanna become shy at the mention of Amos.

What an irony that the mention of one name irks her while merely hearing the other\'s name makes her smile like a fool.

"Oh… him," Joanna exclaimed while smiling from ear to ear.

Audrey shook her head seeing how Joanna was acting. "Yeah, so get your ass moving if you want to earn some brownies points," Audrey beamed and returned the outfit to the chair.

With Audrey there to keep her on her toes, Joanna didn\'t spend a lot of time dressing up.

"Girl, that is enough. Even with your natural face you already look extraordinarily beautiful so there is no need to get extreme with the makeup," Audrey leaning against the chair Joanna sat on extended her hand and picked the tissue laid on the table.

Before the smiling Joanna could fathom what she was up to, Audrey held her jaw and used the tissue to wipe her lips.

"Hey, Drey what are you up to?" Joanna shouted as she struggled to free herself.

She shook her head repeatedly but Audrey refused to let go.

Audrey didn\'t let go despite her struggle. She only released her jaw after she had wiped off the red lipstick from her mouth.

"Hey, why did you do that?" Joanna complained bitterly as she stared at her plain lips.

"I have told you not to wear anything that will make you stand out. You are the one who didn\'t listen to me," Audrey responded. She threw the dirty tissue on the table.

"Even without makeup you had already stood out. You are just too beautiful. If it was up to me, I would have suggested you wear a mask….,"

"Hey!" Joanna yelled as she gave Audrey a disapproving look.

"There is no need to yell or glare at me. As you know I am not afraid of you one bit," Audrey said with her chins raised and her hands wrapped just below her breasts.

With Audrey acting this way Joanna was lost at what to do. There was no way she would win against her friend, especially when she was already running late.

"Let\'s postpone this. I will deal with you later…,"

"Forget about dealing with me because it\'s your man I will be dealing with tonight after your love confession," Audrey said while dropping down her hands.

"Since he is gonna officially become my best friend\'s man, I will need to carefully assess him to make sure that he has got what it takes to protect and make my best friend happy," Audrey stated firmly.

"You are…,"

"Are you really sure you want to lose some brownies points by going to the cafe late?" She cut in noticing that Joanna was too engrossed in their little conversation.

"Never!" Joanna remarked as she jumped up to her feet.

She walked away from the chair and stood beside the chair instead. Joanna took a proper look at herself in the mirror to make sure she wasn\'t missing out on anything.

"You look just perfect and natural. All you need to do now is to act like your real self…,"

"I know that but I can\'t help feeling very nervous," replied Joanna as she rubbed her sweaty hands.

"I feel like my heart is gonna jump out of my chest due to excitement so how am I gonna go about acting normal in front of him when I am already feeling this way?" Joanna asked meekly.

"You were long in love with me but you still managed to act normally right? So I am sure you can do this?" Audrey said while tapping her on the right shoulder.

"But if you still think you can\'t do this I don\'t mind following you to the cafe to make sure I keep you in check. As you know I don\'t have classes…,"

"Today is your day off. You don\'t always get such days so I advise that you use it on yourself. If you don\'t have other friends to hang out with, you can go visit Auntie and Uncle," Joanna was quick to reject Audrey\'s help.

How can she let her best friend waste her only resting day on her when she had better ways to spend it?

"I am sure Auntie would be very happy if you take her out on a date," Joanna suggested, making sure to rub her shoulder against Audrey\'s.

"You already have a lot on your plate. You don\'t have to worry about me. Instead, go show that lady who is the real Queen," Audrey hyped playfully.

"Be sure to take your man back," Audrey said smiling.

"You can be rest assured that I will do just that," She replied beaming.

Afterwards, Joanna walked over to the bed and carried the black chained handbag. She proceeded to the entrance afterwards. Audrey watched her until Joanna jammed the door close.

"I really wished this would work out so there will be an end to her heartaches," Audrey muttered. She moved to the bed and sprawled on it.

A few minutes later, Joanna was seen walking into the sparsely occupied cafe.

Leah, who was on her way to return to the counter, paused and turned to look at the door.

At first glance, she could notice that there was something different about the young lady although she could not pinpoint what exactly that was.

Even Amelia and Amos who was busy working on account books tilted their heads to look at the entrance.

From her raised chins, shoulders and calculated steps, Amos could see that there was something different about her.

"I know I see her every day but she looks kinda different today….,"

"Yeah, she is practically glowing although she is trying so hard not to show it," Amelia added her gaze following the lady who was approaching the counter.

"And I wonder what is responsible for that?" Amos muttered absentmindedly.

"Only a few things can make a lady glow the way she is doing. Do you want to take a guess," Amelia questioned, diverting her attention to his face.

"She is…,"

"There is no need for that," Amos cut her short sharply. He lowered his gaze back at the laptop laid on the table in front of them.

Meanwhile, as he was busy trying to focus his attention on what he was doing Joanna paused walking after taking her position behind the counter.

She looked in his direction. She subconsciously bit her lower lips when she noticed that he wasn\'t looking at her.

[Did he even notice me?... Ohh… and did I do well?]

Joanna was about to bite her nails when she got a glimpse of Leah who was staring at her as though this was their first meeting.

"Why are you staring at me like that huh?" she demanded sternly. "Do I have something on my face?" She added as She touched her right cheek.

"No…," Leah shook her head negatively. "I just wanted to say that you look nice and approachable today," Leah said smiling.

Joanna\'s temple creased to form a frown following Leah\'s words, "And are you trying to say I was unapproachable every other day except today?" She asked.

Judging from her frown Leah already knew that how Joanna will react depended on her reply.

"The customers will be trouping in anytime soon, won\'t you go and change now?" Leah asked.

"You didn\'t answer my question…,"

"Yes, I am coming," Leah was smart enough to flee from the counter the instant she saw a customer\'s raised hand.
