Chapter 278 Audrey Plays The Matchmaker
"I am sure the silly girl will be over the moon when she sets eyes on the Almond and Chocolate cake I got for her. I can't wait to see her smiling from ear to ear," Audrey's eyes glistened as she looked at the box in her hands.
Nothing serves better than giving two of her favourite flavour cakes as an apology. This is what she believed.
When the elevator stopped at the designated floor, Audrey stepped out and made her way to the only apartment on that floor.
In all the apartments she has been to including the ones she checked out when she wanted to rent an apartment, she never saw the landlord/landlady build an entire floor for him/herself.
Apart from saving herself the trouble of having to deal with annoying tenants, this particular landlady decided to give herself a treat by building an entire floor for herself.
Although she didn't know how Amos managed to convince the landlady to vacate the apartment, she admits he is a lucky guy to be able to enjoy such luxuries.
At the door, Audrey halted. She raised her hand to ring the doorbell but stopped midway due to the conversation going on inside.
She paused and paid attention to what those inside the house were saying.
"Joan, that is enough," The guy grabbing the lady by both shoulders to keep her in control declared sternly as he looked into her eyes.
"I want you and I am sure you must feel the same way right?" Joanna asked. She frantically tried to kiss him on his bare chest but he pulled backwards.
"Stop being stubborn…,"
"I am not being stubborn ok?" Joanna retorted. She sounded very irritated as she talked
"You are the stubborn one here," She scoffed and pulled backwards like a child who has to withdraw after being constantly denied her favourite snacks.
"You were so crazy about me in the past but recently you keep rejecting all my advances. What happened hmm?" Joanna demanded. She still maintained her pouty lips.
"Is it that you don't love or find me attractive again or are you treating me this way because maybe your feelings had perhaps changed," She mustered up all her courage to face her fears once and for all.
Having her hopes dashed by him right now is better than living a life of lies.
"Of course not," He blurted. He let go of her right shoulder and raised his hand to touch her face.
"I don't want us to go any further than this because I am sure I would unintentionally hurt you…,"
"But I am not complaining or am I?" Joanna's eyes glimmered when she learned his reason for the hesitation.
"Silly, of course you are unconcerned about this but I am concerned. I won't be able to forgive myself if I hurt you either physically, mentally or emotionally," He promised as he stroked her face.
Audrey standing outside the door shook her head as she listened to the two individuals' conversation.
[There are still at this stage despite that I left for so many hours just to have them fixed up… I can't believe that despite all their intelligence they haven't made any progress]
Realising that her efforts were not very useful made Audrey shake her head in disappointment.
She lifted her hand to knock on the door again but still changed her mind at the last minute.
[Since I decided to be a good person by playing matchmaker, why don't I play matchmaker until the end? I am sure this is what she desperately wants right now instead of a third wheel who will end up ruining things for her]
Audrey took a long stare at the grey door, she spun and returned in the same direction she came from with her gifts in her hands.
[I will come back tomorrow when everything has been sorted]
Audrey said as she waited in front of the elevator door for it to open.
Inside the room, Amos sprang up from the couch after managing to free himself from her.
"Wait here while I call Gideon," Amos said. He hurriedly bent and picked up his cell phone lying on the centre table.
"Amos…," Amos placed his index finger on his lips as a signal for her to be quiet.
"We will talk again after I conclude with the call so be a good girl and wait for me," He instructed as he walked a few steps away from the centre table.
On the first dial, there was an immediate response from the recipient.
"Good evening, Your Majesty," Gideon greeted and bowed. He was checking the car but had to put a halt to it after the King's call.
"Gideon, I have an order for you," He announced as he paced about the spacious sitting room.
"There is a man who thinks he can hurt my person and go scot-free just because he is under the protection of some powerful men….," Amos trailed. He clenched his fist when he recalled Mr Aidan asking him whether his parents were the Prime Minister's children.
So what if my parents are not the Prime Minister's children?
I am more powerful and influential than him.
"Just give us a name Your Majesty and I will make sure to get the job done," Gideon replied sternly.
While he was on the phone he scrutinized the premises to make sure no one was in sight.
"Mr Aidan, the Chancellor Of Twilight University," Amos stated.
"I am aware that you and your men know what to do with him but before you put an end to his wretched life, make sure that the hands he used in ripping my woman's clothes off are not attached to his body," Amos instructed.
The coldness of his voice as he talked made Joanna wonder whether he was still the same guy who acts silly and naughty around her all the time.
"We will execute the task according to his Majesty's instructions," Gideon responded. He reached out his hand and dropped the things in his possession inside the grey Mercedes Benz.
"I will call to make reports after the job is done…,"
"You can do that but not tonight," Amos cut in sharply.
