BXBX NOVEL Chapter 342 She Walked Out Unscathed
"How dare you insult us…,"
"If the three of you knew you were not capable of exchanging words with me you shouldn't have started this losing game in the first place," She muttered. A triumphant smile crept on her face as she talked.
"The time when I ran to a corner and cried because of your insults has long passed. Right now I have grown thick-skinned to get affected by your insulting words," She said and turned to leave.
The furious Sophie reached out her hand to yank Joanna's hair but her friends stopped her.
"Let her leave today. Don't forget what our fathers said on the night Tiff got locked up at home," Doris mumbled, still holding onto Sophie's hand.
Joanna, clutching her brother's hand, was waiting to feel pain in her back or hands but she was astounded when she walked to the car and yet nothing happened.
Reaching the car, she opened the front door and made Anthony sit while she hurried to the driver's seat.
She did this hurriedly for fear that the girls might change their minds about attacking her at the last minute.
Inside the car, the anxious Joanna clenched the steering as she watched the three girls march to their cars.
She let out a sigh of relief after their cars zoomed off into the far distance.
"Why is it that they didn't attack me today especially when none was around to protect me?" Joanna muttered, gazing at the spots the girls stood in earlier.
She was ready to get beaten up by them, that is why she spoke so much earlier.
If I am gonna get beaten in the end I am gonna protect my dignity until the end?
This was the thought on her mind when she returned the lady's insults.
"Did they wake up on the wrong side of the bed or did someone feed them the cooling pills without their knowledge?".
"Maybe they ran away because they were scared of me," Anthony said. He squeezed his face in the same way he did when he challenged the three ladies.
Although he was trying to imitate a scary face his face ended up making Joanna chuckle.
"You are right but next time chooses to watch at the sidelines because you don't know how scary those three girls can be," She said and patted his hair lovingly.
Joanna and Anthony continued talking and playing inside the car for five minutes.
"Although there is a beautiful car right here ready for our usage, sadly we will have to use the taxi since I never learned to drive," Joanna whispered.
Not long after she made her last comment, a knock at the driver's side door startled her.
Looking at her side she was surprised to see a guy wearing a face cap and mask knocking and signalling her to wound the glass down.
Just to be cautious Joanna wound down the glass only enough for them to converse.
"What is it?" She asked and looked at the guy who kept trying to shield his face. How he kept acting sneakily made her uncomfortable.
"It seems like you need a driver…,"
"Who are you and why do you go around listening to others' conversations?" She retorted.
"Do you…,"
"Calm down Miss Joanna…,"
"He even knows your name!" Anthony shouted. Having sensed danger his eyes transformed in a flash.
"Calm down Young Master Anthony, Miss Joanna, I am not a bad person," He assured them and pulled off the mask from his face.
"I was ordered to protect the two of you," He whispered.
"Chris!" She yelled. She covered her mouth seeing people turn to look at Chris following her loud voice.
"I am aware you can't drive so let me assist you," He offered to help in a meek tone.
"Sure," She replied and unfastened her seatbelt.
As they were busy trying to make adjustments, a black Mercedes Benz car whose passengers were two handsome men came to a halt in front of a tall building.
The instant the car stopped the driver stepped out of the car but the passengers showed no sign of alighting from the car.
"Rick, didn't you notice from how she acted that there is something wrong with that dude's identity?" Raymond quizzed as he stared at Derrick.
"I have already suspected that from the moment Tony addressed him as Brother Kay and pointed at Joanna and another man's picture frame hanging on the wall…,"
"It wasn't merely the picture of Joanna with another man but her picture and that of the King," He corrected firmly.
"My best friend is always right, I agree…,"
"This is no time to be playing around…,"
"Of course, I know that. I am trying to prepare myself for the hell of scolding we are gonna receive from that nagging man…,"
"You…,"
"There is no need to frown at me. I will have him investigated but before that let's go in and hear what he has to say. I am sure we are not gonna escape from receiving an earful from him," Derrick said and arranged the collar of his shirt.
"If he wants to give us an earful then let him go ahead. If he refuses to stop talking then we will just shut him up. Doing that had never been a difficult thing for us to do," Raymond said and winked at Derrick.
"Whoa… you are such an evil guy. I almost forgot such an important trait about you after you started hanging out with her," Derrick beamed and came out of the car just like Raymond.
After coming out of the car, Raymond and Derrick made their way towards the huge glass entrance.
Arriving at the fifth floor, the two friends stepped out of the elevator and made their way to the office located not far away from the elevator.
Those who passed by them didn't forget to greet and smile at the two popular figures.
"Here come your troublemaker stars who spent over four hours eating," The man in black suits made sarcastic comments the minute they stepped foot into the well-furnished office.
