BXBX NOVEL Chapter 356 She Couldn't Find Him
"But if you have the intention of disclosing your feelings then all I can say is that the backless short white dress is perfect for a love confession…,"
"Doesn't it looks too flamboyant…,"
"You garner attention wherever you go no matter the clothes you wear so what's the big deal in dolling up a bit for the sake of your happiness?" Audrey asked.
Joanna didn't argue with her about the clothes anymore. It was as if Audrey gave her the perfect excuse she was searching for.
When she was almost done dressing up Audrey went downstairs to get the car ready.
"You are just wow…," Audrey complimented the beautiful lady in a white dress approaching her black car.
"You are just exaggerating…,"
"Of course not. I wished I saw a guy who could testify to how amazing you look," Audrey mumbled.
She looked around for passersby but none was in sight apart from them.
"You look dazzling. I am sure he will forget that a lady called Amelia existed when he set eyes on you," Audrey praised and opened the door of the car for Joanna.
Joanna didn't enter the car immediately. She looked around like she was searching for something or someone.
"And where is the driver?" She quizzed.
"I am the driver of course or what other driver were you expecting?" She asked and urged Joanna in but she refused to enter the car.
"I will rather walk than enter the car. My life is too precious to lose it in the hands of my best friend who doesn't know how to drive," Joanna informed and tried to walk away but Audrey jumped and stood in front of her.
"Didn't I tell you I learned to drive during the time you went missing…,"
"Do you mean you know how to drive?" Joanna asked in awe.
"We are running out of time so let's go. You can ask me the details on our way there," Audrey said and pushed the bewildered young lady into the car.
The journey from the apartment to Mrs Parker's cafe wasn't far. They reached there in no time.
At the cafe, everyone paused what they were doing to look at the beauty which just stepped foot into the cafe.
Joanna had a lot on her mind to care about the customer's lustful stares. She walked elegantly to the counter without sparing anyone a glance.
"Joanna, you were supposed to be on leave so what are you doing here?" Mrs Parker asked.
The first thing she did was to examine the body of the lady standing in front of her. She let out a sigh of relief noticing that Joanna's injuries weren't visible.
"I am not here for work," Joanna said. She let her sharp eyes scrutinize the hall. When she didn't see any sign of the one she was searching for, she returned her attention to Mrs Parker.
"I heard that Amos was here and that is why…,"
"He and Lia left a few minutes ago. I am sure you would have met them if you had come five minutes earlier," Mrs Parker cut in abruptly.
Joanna's excited expression fell after listening to Mrs Parker's words.
"They left together," Joanna mumbled absentmindedly.
Seeing that Joanna wasn't going to say anything Audrey stepped up to help her. "Do you perhaps know where they went?" Audrey asked.
"Hmm… I overheard them talking about going to S Club," Mrs Parker replied. Her gaze didn't leave Joanna's face as she talked.
"So why are you looking for him…,"
"You will hear the good news when she resumes work so be patient until then," Audrey hissed. She held Joanna's hand and led her out of the cafe.
Arriving where they parked their car, Audrey opened the door and tried to push Joanna into the car but the unhappy lady refused to move.
"Where are we going?" She asked gloomily.
"To get your man of course," Audrey said.
"He is not my man and…,"
"He is not right now but he will become your man after tonight so stop being upset and let's go," Audrey said and pushed Joanna into the car despite her reluctance.
When they reached the club Joanna was reluctant about entering the club and Audrey had to play some tricks to get her to enter the club.
Inside the club, Joanna and Audrey searched the crowded club for him but despite searching for a long time they didn't see him.
"Why is it that I can't perceive his scent?" The frustrated Audrey shouted amidst the deafening music.
"Have you forgotten he often used creams that hide his scent," Joanna muttered and continued forcing her way into the club?
Just then a guy who has been accessing Joanna unbeknownst to her held her hand and yanked her to himself.
The way the already angry Joanna reacted to the man's actions left Audrey wondering what her best friend was capable of.
"If you dare as much as to lay your filthy hands on me then I promise that you won't walk out of here alive," She threatened after what she did to the groaning man still writhing in pain.
She turned to leave but the angry guy let go of his bruised manhood and grabbed her hand again.
"You are nothing but a cheap whore so what gives you the right to lay your cursed hands on my precious face…," Joanna grabbed the guy's hand and pushed him away.
The furious guy in the black shirt sprang up to attack but Audrey moved and stood in front of Joanna.
"Dude, she wasn't lying when she said you are not gonna walk out of here alive if you try any nonsense with her…," Audrey trailed her gaze not moving away from the bat tattooed on the guy's chest.
"Believe me, that not only you but your entire household will have to pay the price if you disrespect her one more time…,"
"She is nothing but a…,"
"Before his men take action I promise that I will make sure you become the meal for all the vampires present here if you dare disrespect her again," Audrey said.
Her previous black eyes turned crimson after she finished talking.
