BXBX NOVEL Chapter 211 At His Doorstep
He got dressed within the twinkle of an eye. After he was done he left the presidential suite without taking time to enjoy the luxury of the room in which so many were dying to witness at least one in their lifetime.
Tonight neither Joanna nor Amos had a peaceful sleep. With their minds preoccupied with thoughts, they spent half of the night tossing on the bed.
Audrey stayed awake throughout the time Joanna was awake just to keep her company.
The next morning the constant movement and noises in the room made Audrey\'s eyes flutter open her eyes.
The reflection of Joanna\'s glowing face on the mirror made her blink her eyes twice. She was surprised when she opened her eyes again and still see Joanna wearing the white mini dress.
It was after this she realised that her eyes didn\'t make mistakes.
Even the make-up on Joanna\'s face wasn\'t a part of her imagination.
"What is it? Where are you going?" Audrey demanded as she tried to keep her half-opened eyes awake.
To ascertain what was the time Audrey tilted her head to look at the window. She was surprised to see that it was just beginning to brighten outside.
"You are dolling yourself up this early in the morning, who are you planning to seduce huh?" Audrey asked sleepily. She forced her heavy eyes that were threatening to close to stay awake.
"For whom I am dressing up for... you will get to know that later so you can go back to sleep. I am sure you need that right now more than getting fed with gossip," Joanna, who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror arranging her hair, replied with a bewitching smile on her face.
Audrey blinked her eyelids repeatedly as she tried not to lose consciousness just yet.
Because she has to take care of her heartbroken best friend, she hasn\'t had a good sleep lately.
She couldn\'t wait for them to resolve their misunderstanding so things would go back to how they normally were.
She missed her old best friend very much.
[Although I don\'t know what she is up to I can predict that whosoever she is dolling up for is in serious trouble]
Audrey\'s body finally gave way and her eyes closed.
"Good luck," Audrey muttered with her eyes closed. Through the mirror, Joanna looked at her best friend who had stopped talking.
"She must be exhausted. I must really take better care of her after this is all resolved," Joanna muttered as she lowered her gaze.
On the long brown table were different kinds of cosmetics, make-up sets and other ladies\' beauty products.
Although she rarely dresses up, Audrey still had all the items which would make a woman\'s daily life a bit easier.
"It doesn\'t hurt anymore so I wonder whether it\'s healed up," Joanna muttered when she caught a glimpse of the white bandage wrapped around her injured hand.
Eager to confirm her doubts, she unpinned the bandage and started unwrapping it gently.
When she was done Joanna stared at her hand which had healed up. Her palm which was badly pierced was now spotless as if nothing had happened.
[Though my healing ability has reduced due to my inability to complete the mission I am still glad I didn\'t lose this ability completely?]
Joanna stared at her palm. It felt so good to know that she wouldn\'t be uncomfortable anymore.
Despite that, her wound had healed something inside of her wanted her to still pretend to be hurt and that is what she did.
She stood up and went to the top of the tall wardrobe where Audrey kept the first aid kit which was specifically purchased for her sake.
A smile appeared on Joanna\'s pretty face seeing that there was a bandage inside the kit.
Without wasting time she cut a sizable piece from the bundle of brown bandages. It took her two minutes to wrap the bandage around her non-existent wound.
After she was done dressing up, Joanna took a proper look at herself in the mirror. She gave a satisfying nod realising that she had achieved the exact look she wanted.
As she walked out of the room Joanna tried her best to make sure that she wasn\'t making so much noise.
She let out a sigh of relief after managing to leave the room without waking Audrey up.
She strolled to the elevator. Luckily for her, the elevator dinged open the moment she got there.
The two ladies in the elevator stared at the gorgeously dressed lady. Joanna had a lot to worry about to care about how strangely they looked at her.
Even inside the elevator, they began talking while stealing glances at her. By this time the nervous Joanna was more focused on what was ahead of her and couldn\'t hear a single word they said.
As the elevator got closer to the floor Amos lived Joanna\'s hands became sweaty due to her nervousness.
"Why am I so nervous?... I wasn\'t a bit nervous even on the day he prepared the surprise so what is wrong with me," Joanna muttered. She was trying to deal with her sweaty hand and now her heart had to add to it.
With her heartbeat increasing, she was lost at what to do but she didn\'t change her mind about going to his room.
Outside Amos\' apartment, Joanna took a deep breath and exhaled. When she noticed that she was a bit more relaxed than earlier she rang the doorbell and waited for a response.
Meanwhile, as Joanna was waiting for Amos to open the door, the guy whom she was waiting for was seen rushing to finish wearing his trousers.
Hurriedly, he dashed to the dressing mirror to take a quick look at himself. He was still trying to part his hair when his sensitive ears picked up the punching of keys into the front door lock.
He had already opened the bedroom door when he recalled that he had missed something due to haste.
"Fuck! My cologne," Amos turned and looked at where his cell phone lay on the dressing table. Then his eyes moved to the direction of the main door which he knew would be flung open at any second.
As Amos rushed back to get his cologne the main entrance clinked open.
Joanna whose hand was on the door\'s handle pushed the door opened and stepped in.
