Chapter 288 The Mean Witches Block Her Path

?"You got it wrong," Mr Fin said. He stood up and strolled to meet Amos. When he reached there he raised his left hand and placed it on Amos' left shoulder.

"You said you are not aware that she loves you and that's exactly what I was trying to make you see," Mr Fin explained in a composed tone.

The once furious Amos who looked like he would never look Mr Fin in the eye turned and stared at him.

"You were testing her?" He asked despite already knowing that much.

"Bingo!" Mr Fin said smiling.

"Didn't you see how sweetly she talked to you before we arrived at the earlier discussion? And didn't you notice the way she reacted at the mention of another woman?" Mr Fin questioned.

Amos and Mr Fin kept on discussing in the sitting room with ease, knowing very well that Joanna won't be able to eavesdrop on their conversation from the kitchen.

If she comes as close to the sitting room they would have long stopped talking after sensing her presence from afar.

"Dude, you were never into love and relationships but why does it feel like you are now more experienced than me in this aspect huh?" Amos asked after discussing at length with Mr Fin.

"You are right about that," Mr Fin said as he sat on the couch behind them.

"Kyle and I were both worried about you and how slowly you have progressed with your mission. Because the two of us wanted the same thing, he came up with all these ideas for me to help you," Mr Fin said honestly.

Others would have taken credit for this but he didn't. He was a man of principle and he will stick to that no matter what.

"Oh… this was the silly guy's idea all along. I should have known this much. I should have guessed that our beloved Finley is too pure to come up with such cruel plans…,"

"Hey, stop that or else people will misunderstand your words," Mr Finley admonished. He brushed his hand off his shoulder.

"But I am telling the truth…," Amos kept quiet when Joanna started coming to the sitting room.

When Joanna surfaced in the sitting room he turned to face Mr Fin, "Return to your seat," Amos said, pushing Mr Fin off the couch.

Instead of sitting in the space, he created for her, she chose to sit on the opposite couch.

Amos exchanged puzzled glances with Mr Fin when he saw the way she acted.

"Your hand is injured why don't you come over so I can feed you…,"

"I don't think I deserve such luxury. Besides, I can manage just fine," she responded harshly. She picked up the spoon and scooped the hot porridge from the white porcelain plate.

[Why does it feel like instead of helping me that his plans have backfired?]

Amos looked at Mr Fin's face. He so much wanted to bombard him with questions but he had to control himself because Joanna was there.

[Instead of helping me, were Kyle's plans to mess me up? - I swear I will kill Kyle if I find out that my hunch was right]

He grits his teeth as he returned his gaze to the lady who was ignoring him.

As this was going on, meanwhile in a club a man was seen sitting among two women.

Despite sitting amid these beautiful damsels his mind seems to have wandered far as he sat there staring into space.

"I wonder if Fin had done exactly like I have said," He muttered absentmindedly.

The lady in a yellow bodycon short dress suddenly touched his bare chest and made him snapped out of his daze.

"What did you say?" She asked while teasing his nipples flirtatiously with her fingers.

"I said let's make use of the bedroom," He whispered. He made sure to lick the lady's earlobe before he pulled away.

Some minutes later he was seen making his way out of the main club in the company of two ladies.

The next morning, Joanna woke up to find a note at the centre table in the sitting room.

"I didn't want to disturb your sleep, that's why I didn't call you. Because you were still fast asleep I am sure you are not aware that Josephina dropped by to supply us with everything you would need. Be a good girl and stay at home. I will join you soon after I have settled some things," Joanna read his message.

She threw the piece of paper on the table after reading it.

"A minute he is treating me like I am his entire world and another minute he is doing the same thing to another woman. What exactly does he want from me?" Joanna mumbled. She clasped her fist when she recalled the incident the previous night.

"Has being surrounded by so many women in the palace made him become a womanizer?" she muttered.

She turned and moved to the bedroom door. She didn't take up to five steps when her cell phone ding.

Without any delay, Joanna shoved her right hand into her trouser's pocket and brought out the cell phone.

The excitement on her face faded when she saw that the sender of the message was Audrey.

"Sorry Anna, but I won't be able to spend time with you today. My family and I planned on going on a three days vacation today. I wasn't able to tell you this because of our misunderstanding. Although I won't be around, I hope that things will go smoothly with him and I await good news when I return. Take care," Joanna's expression fell after reading Audrey's text message.

"Seeing how she only left a text message, I guess she is still mad at me. She hasn't forgiven me yet," Joanna mumbled.

After the incident the previous day she believed her relationship with Audrey had returned to normal.

Reading this text message she can't help but think that maybe everything was her wishful thinking.

"I had thought Drey and I would bond today on campus but I guess it will be just me alone," She muttered.

She turned and looked at the clutches kept on one of the couches.

With a heavy heart, Joanna managed to shower after so much difficulty. Because she wasn't in her best mood she didn't even go anywhere close to the kitchen.

An hour later she left the apartment with the help of the clutches Amos prepared for her.

…

Some minutes later, on campus, a lady was seen hopping the staircase with the help of her clutches.

Just when she reached the top of the stairs three girls emerged from nowhere and blocked her path.

"What do you think you ladies are doing!" Joanna demanded, her fierce glares directed at the three ladies' faces.

"Take a guess what we are going to do to you here," Sophie said. An evil grin appeared on her face as she looked at the lady that was leaning on a clutches for support.
