Joanna glared at the lady seeing how excited she was.

[I am more than certain that you are capable of taking care of the cafe even without anyone\'s help. You are just looking for a perfect chance to hover around him like a fly]

Joanna clenched her fist, not able to hide her hatred for the lady that finished talking not long ago.

Amelia stretched her hand to hold Amos left hand laid on the table but only for him to remove his hand.

"I am good at managing things generally but I will have to…," His cell phone dinged just before he could complete his sentence.

Amos choose not to check his cell phone and diverted his gaze to Amelia\'s face.

"I will have to let you…," The phone didn\'t ding once but twice this time around.

He was left with no choice but to answer his call when he saw the way other customers looked at their tables.

As he read the first line of the ten-line text message, Amos\' expression changed. The temperature around him dropped drastically.

​ Joanna who happens to be staring at him shivered.

"Is there something wrong?" Joanna asked worriedly. She tried to peek at the white screen but Amos placed the phone upside-down on the brown table.

He raised his blazing gaze. Joanna grabbed his hand seeing that he was furious.

"Why are you glaring at Mrs Parker like that?... And who was the sender of the message?" Joanna demanded.

Despite that his fury glares were glued on Mrs Parker\'s face, the woman happened not to be looking at Amos.

Joanna didn\'t know whether or not this was a coincidence.

She didn\'t find anything fishy so she tried not to think too much about Mrs Parker\'s reaction.

"Amos, you will assist me to manage the cafe during my Aunt\'s absence right?" Amelia asked not minding that he was already in this state.

"Sorry, but he is way too busy to…," Amelia\'s sudden cough made Joanna unable to complete her sentence.

"I will…,"

"That is good to hear that you are willing to assist my cousin in taking care of everything in the cafe," Mrs Parker cut in smiling.

Amos\' deadly glares became more intense following Mrs Parker\'s interruption.

Mrs Parker took Amelia\'s right hand in hers and caressed it affectionately. "Not only did Lia develop a deep feeling for you on your first meeting but she has been praising you non-stop. She never stops singing your name and how capable you are…," Mrs Parker trailed.

"After all I heard from her about you, with your assistance I can be rest assured that the cafe will be well taken care of without me. I won\'t have to worry about the girls turning my precious cafe inside out," Mrs Parker said with a huge sense of humour.

But none on their table smiled except Amelia.

[Is it having him assist your cousin which will make you relieved or making him a part of your family… I have never known you to be very sly except for today]

Joanna bit down her lower lips to prevent herself from voicing out her thoughts. Apart from losing her job, she will only make Amos garner unnecessary attention and this is not what she wanted.

"Auntie, I have never done any of the things you mentioned so why are you trying to ruin my image in front of him," Amelia said.

Though she sounded displeased, she was smiling so radiantly and this irked Joanna even more.

[Talk of an image? Do you even have any image left worth ruining?]

Joanna dug her nails into her palms until it hurt.

While this was happening outside the cafe, in a dimly lit corner two young men in black outfits were seen looking at the cafe.

The truth was they were not merely looking at the cafe because they fancied it. Instead, there was a particular person on whom their gaze was centred and that person was none other than Joanna.

"Didn\'t the rumour about her says she was as gentle as a dove and weaker than humans but why does her expression say otherwise?" The guy with a black haircut asked averting his attention to look at the guy standing by his side.

The difference between the two men wasn\'t only in their looks and power but also in their height.

The guy\'s height was at his companion\'s shoulder length.

"Also, since you know who she is why don\'t you meet her instead of making us sneak around like thieves? What will you do if passers-by misinterpret our intentions?" He said as he stuck his hands into his trousers pocket with his chin held high.

"If you don\'t value your reputation I do so…,"

"Will you shut up, Derrick? Or I will be forced to shut you up," the tallest guy interrupted sharply as he shot his talkative best friend a deadly glare.

His threats were only enough to keep his friend quiet for only a minute.

"Just to find her using only her scent since that is the only thing you knew about her, I have been following you around the entire Kingdom without a minute rest. So how could you shout at me…,"

"I shouldn\'t have believed that bullshit when you said you were second to none when it comes to playing an undercover agent," The tall guy with a black haircut interrupted out of annoyance.

He took a long glance at Joanna\'s fuming face. He turned and walked away just before Amos looked out through the glass walls.

"I should have known that someone like you would bring nothing but trouble," He said as he continued walking further away from the cafe.

"I may be a troublemaker but at least I am better than a timid fellow like you," Derrick said not sounding affected by his friend\'s words.

He walked faster so that he was ahead of his friend. He turned so that he was facing his friend while he walked backwards.

"You searched for her for o many days and when you finally found her, you were too timid to walk up to her…,"

…
