Chapter 420 She Left In A Hurry



"Your way of approach was commendable. You didn\'t sound like a jerk and as such, I don\'t have a problem with you in general," Joanna said in her coolest voice.

Amelia smiled when she saw how quickly Joanna\'s mood changed.

[She was able to maintain her composure even when she was angry. And can switch from one mood to the other without any awkwardness.

These are some of the qualities a Queen must possess and I am glad she learned that without me having to teach her]

She lowered her gaze in a flash when Joanna turned and gazed at her.

"What is...," The vibration of the cell phone in her hand made Joanna pause what she wanted to say.

She unlocked the cell phone and read the incoming inbox.

She sprang to her feet after she read the content of the message.

"I am needed back home so unfortunately I will have to leave," Joanna mumbled as she glanced at Amelia.

"Wait what is...," Joanna started strolling away before the guy got the opportunity to say what he had in mind.

"You will make an excellent mother and wife in the future," Amelia whispered, her gaze centred on Joanna\'s back.

Joanna, who was some distance away from their table, paused, she spun and looked at Amelia.

"Actually, someone has already told me that before you did," She beamed and walked away.

Donald shifted his attention back to the lady sitting in front of him after Joanna was gone.

"Who is she?" He demanded. "Is she your friend?".

"Don\'t you know who she is?" Amelia asked, her suspicious glares directed at Donald.

"Don\'t they have a news channel where you come from or are you perhaps pretending not to know who she is because...,"

"Is she someone I should know?" Donald quizzed and narrowed his eyebrows. "Is she a celeb or the daughter of a prominent man here?" He asked cluelessly.

Amelia shook her head in pity when she realised that the guy wasn\'t aware of the identity of the woman he had his eyes set on.

"Sorry, but I won\'t be able to tell you the answer you want. All I can say is that you should stay away from her," She began.

"Her backer is someone you wouldn\'t want to mess with if you still want to remain alive," Amelia warned seriously.

The guy turned and looked at the door Joanna walked out from only for him to shift his attention back to where Amelia sat and realised that she was gone.

"Where the hell did she go?"He muttered. He stood up and searched the bar with his eyes. But no matter how carefully he looked there was no sign of Amelia.

Because Joanna didn\'t see any taxi, she walked a long distance from the bar with the hope that she would see a taxi.

But not even her long walk could solve her problem.

There were no taxis because it was quite late. She ended up trekking home afterwards.

She was very close to reaching the apartment when she felt that she was being followed.

Smart as she was, she didn\'t slow down or act as though she noticed she was being tailed.

As Joanna kept on walking she pretended as though she wanted to pick an item from her pouch.

And when the lurker least expected it, Joanna threw a ball of red flame in the direction she felt the person\'s presence.

She spun at the same time she threw the fire.

Joanna was hoping to see a person screaming in pain on turning around but to her dismay, none was in sight.

"I couldn\'t have been wrong, could I?" Joanna muttered. She looked to her right, left, back and front but none could be seen nearby.

Joanna almost concluded that she had become paranoid for no reason when a burnt material laid close to the red pillar caught her attention.

She took a step forward but only to pause immediately.

She scrutinized the surroundings and returned her gaze to where the burnt material lay after she had confirmed that none was around.

"Why don\'t I put my new skill to good use?" She grinned and stretched her hand towards where the material lay.

Instantly the burnt material flew into her outstretched hand.

There was a broad smile and a look of satisfaction on Joanna\'s face when this happened.

Joanna examined the material carefully. The warmth sensation that caressed her hand made her realize that the material was burnt not long ago.

"That means I am not crazy! I was really being followed," Joanna concluded.

To be a hundred per cent certain that she didn\'t miss any spot, Joanna used the system\'s analyse function to scan the place.

Unfortunately, the results were not different from the previous ones.

Just then the memories of the countless times she felt she was being watched replayed in her head.

"Whoever or whatever you are, I, Joanna Anderson will make sure you are caught. And I promise you, you won\'t have it easy when I get you so I will suggest you get ready for what\'s coming your way," Joanna mumbled with her fist clasped.

She resumed walking but she was more alert this time around.

Joanna was in front of the tall building when suddenly she felt the presence of someone behind her.

Without wasting time she turned with her punch aimed at the person\'s face.

Had she not seen the person\'s face at the last minute and retracted her hand, she would have punched the grinning Amos hard on his handsome face.

"W-why is it you?" Joanna stammered, not able to hide her shock.

"And why didn\'t you dodge huh?" She scolded. She raised her hand and cupped the face of the guy who hasn\'t moved a muscle.

"What would you have done if I had hit you...,"

"I didn\'t dodge because I was certain that you wouldn\'t punch me...,"

"I wasn\'t aware of who was behind me. In fact, I thought you were an enemy. And I promise you that the pain would have been excruciating if I didn\'t get a glimpse of your face and retract my punch on time," Joanna said.
