Audrey was a bit taken aback when she saw that the man standing in front of them was none other than their Chancellor.
She composed herself and tried to mask her surprise when she noticed the way the man stared at her.
"Are you ladies alright?" Mr Aidan said his gaze centred on Joanna's wounded hand laid on the counter.
"If you need help then be free to ask us because we are more than willing…,"
"It's ok, we can handle this alone," Audrey cut in.
"If you say so then we will pay our bills and leave you ladies to handle things over here," Mr Aidan forced on a smile despite that he was secretly clenching his fist.
He brought out a brown wallet from his trousers, opened it and started counting notes.
The rustling of the notes didn't freak either Audrey or Joanna. All they wanted was for the old men to leave so they could lock the cafe and leave also.
"Sir, your bill wasn't that amount," Joanna informed realising that the money Mr Aidan was counting was higher than his bill.
"It's ok. I really liked your services so you can consider the excess as tips," Mr Aidan said as he extended the money to Joanna.
"No Sir, that is way too much," Joanna said, refusing to collect the money from him.
"My friends and I are late for our next appointment so I will leave the money here. It's left for you ladies whether or not to take the money," Mr Aidan said. He took the ladies aback when he dropped the notes on the table.
He turned and strolled to where his friends were already standing waiting for him.

"How come the mean man is suddenly acting generous, what the hell is he up to?" Audrey said in almost a whisper, her gaze still following the men which were now outside the cafe.
"I don't give a damn about what he is up to… in fact I don't even have the luxury to waste my time thinking about it," Joanna said with a lack of interest.
"You are right about that. We have far more important things to do than to think about what is going on through their heads," Audrey said as she turned and looked at Joanna.
She didn't see Mr Aidan swirling and shot murderous glares at her from where he stood.
"Let's go get your injury rinsed," Audrey said as she took Joanna by the hand and led her towards the restroom.
Inside the restroom, the sting as Audrey rinsed the wound with mild water made Joanna let out a slight groan.
"I thought you were incapable of feeling pain or isn't that why you hurt yourself so why are you whining now?" Audrey scolded.
She went a little gentle on her friend when she noticed that Joanna was in pain.
After the bleeding stopped, Audrey removed Joanna's hand from the running water. "We will get your wounds dressed up," She said and together they left the restroom.
Meanwhile, as Audrey was trying to get Joanna's wound treated, in a hotel room a guy was seen walking into a well-furnished room with a bed kept in the upper part of the large room.
His eyebrows creased when he raised his gaze and saw a lady sitting on the magnificent bed.
The guy whose upper body was bare turned his back on the woman in a flash.
"What the hell are you doing here…no I mean how the hell did you get in?" Amos asked.
Because the clean clothes provided by the hotel were kept on the bed, there was nothing he could do to cover his upper body which was dripping wet.
"Don't get furious just yet and let me explain…,"
"I recall leaving you outside the room so what's there to explain if it's not that you deliberately entered the room?" Amos asked. The veins on his forehead popped up as he talked.
"I didn't enter your booked room with any ulterior motives. I was only worried that you might need help and that is why I entered the room when the room service guy came to deliver your clothes," Amelia explained.
She reached out her hand and picked up the white shirt and the black trouser neatly placed on the right side of the bed.
She stood up and approached him.
"Stop right there," Amos ordered the lady whose footsteps he knew were coming toward him.
"But I just want to give you your clothes…,"
"Just leave before I lose my temper," Amos shouted. The intensity of his voice made Amelia jump up not knowing what to do.
She didn't wait for him to repeat himself. She hurried to the bed almost falling because of her trembling legs.
Within a few seconds, Amelia rushed out of the room as though she was chased with a whip.
"My body solely belongs to one woman. I have given her that right and I don't intend to take it back. No other lady has the right to see my nakedness except her," Amos muttered as he stared at his bare chest.
Memories of the many times Joanna bumped into him naked replayed in his head.
He couldn't resist beaming when he remembered her hilarious reactions on each occasion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I wonder how she is doing?" He mumbled, turning to look at his phone which was still in the same position where he threw it on.
He strolled to where his cellphone lay, picked it up and clicked on his contact.
He reached out his hand to click on the first dialler but only for him to change his mind.
"I am sure she must be very angry at me now. I will just call her tomorrow when she is not very angry," Amos said as he threw back the cell phone on the bed.
