Rue stepped outside upon hearing the commotion in the courtyard. She was instantly delighted to see Joanna and called out, You’re back, Joja!”
Rue appeared to be well–acquainted with Joanna.
When Samantha and Joanna were establishing Bailar, she would often visit Samantha’s house. She had even stayed over a few
times.
Roe knew that Joanna had experienced a lot of hardships too. She was deprived of a mother’s love since she was a child so Rue always treated Joanna like she was her own.
Joanna said smilingly, “It’s been a long time since we last met, Mdm. Rue. I’m sorry i didn’t get you a gift. I was in such a hurry to get back. I promise I’ll get you one next time.”
Rue beamed as she looked at Joanna. “You’ve been abroad for a few years. I almost couldn’t recognize you. You’ve become prettier and look even more like Sam’s sister now.”
“You’re mistaken, ma’am. Sam and I have been sisters from the start!” Joanna said proudly.
*Come inside, come inside. I’ll go get some ingredients so that I can make something yummy for lunch. You can enjoy the meal and catch up with Sam.”

“All right. Thank you, Mrs. Rue,”
Samantha and Joanna entered the house while Rue got onto her electric scooter and left the compound. She healed out to get some ingredients to cook with.
Roe could not drive so Adrian had prepared an electric scooter for her so she could travel around easily.
Inside the villa, Adrian placed Joanna’s luggage on the sola. Samantha, on the other hand, held Joanna’s hand and excitedly squealed, “Come on, jojo. I’ll give you a tour of the house!”
“Sure!” Joanna agreed with pleasure.
The two women were about to go on a tour of the house when Adrian said, “Sam, Jojo must be tired from the trip. Why don’t you let her sit down, have a drink, and rest for a while first before taking her for a tour?”
Samantha answered with an “Oh yeah.” She had forgotten about that.
Joanna said, “I didn’t know you were so attentive, Adrian. That’s how a man should be. They should learn to be observant to please a woman.”
Adrian was rendered speechless. Joanna’s personality was quite flamboyant and he figured he should keep a distance from her
from now on.
“Take a seat, both of you. I’ll po
I’ll go get some coffee.”
The two besties sat down while Adrian made them each a cup.
Samantha and Joanna continued to chatter away. Adrian had no plans of getting involved in their conversation so he quietly sat on the sofa and played his video games.
Samantha began to ask Joanna about her life abroad and about her sudden return. Upon her inquiry, the usually lively and joyful Joarna suddenly fell silent and started to shed tears.
Samantha was heartbroken by the sight of Jeanna’s tears. She hastily said to Adrian, “Get some tissues, dear.”
Adrian grabbed a box of tissues from the side table and passed it to her. He said in puzzlement, “You haven’t said a word yet. Why are you crying?”
Joanna did not answer Adrian’s question.

Samantha dabbed at Joanna’s tears and said, “What’s going on with you, Jojo? Tell me. Don’t keep it to yourself. I’m not very capable, but maybe Adrian can help you.”
Joanna said, “I’m so jealous of you, Sam. Even though Adrian abandoned you for seven years, Mrs. Rue and Ada loved and cared about you. It’s different for me.
“I know about your family’s situation but you seldom talk to me about them, Come on. Tell me what’s going on with you.” Samantha was concerned.
Joanna nodded. She felt that Samantha was the only person who would truly listen when she talked about her innermost feelings.
