BXBX NOVEL Chapter 227 Who Is There?
As she made her way to campus she was too excited to notice her environment.
On reaching the large campus gate, she raised her head and stared at her surroundings.
"When did I get here huh?" Joanna mumbled her gaze glued on the entrance where students trouped in and out of campus.
Joanna soon got over the surprise and made her way into campus. Joanna was on her way to the lecture hall when a guy walked up to her.
"Mr Aidan requires your presence in his office right now," the tall guy in a sky blue shirt informed me.
Joanna lowered her head and gaze at the glittering watch hugging her right hand tightly.
A mild frown appeared on her face as she lifted her head to look at the guy standing in front of him.
"Sorry but I am already late for my classes," Joanna replied. "Inform him that I will come over to his office when I am done with lectures," She said firmly and walked past the astounded guy.
The guy spun and left to relay her response to the old man in his office.
In the lecture hall, Amos' earlier words were enough to keep Joanna concentrated on what the lecturer was teaching.
Though her attention was fully present in class the way she kept looking at her wristwatch would mistake one to think that she was running late for her wedding.
The instant the lady lecturer said closing remarks Joanna who was eagerly waiting for this moment get a hold of her handbag and dashed to the door.
Because of this everyone's attention was on her but she was too much in a haste to even notice this.
With the kind of speed she ran out of the class Joanna didn't recall anything else except her plans with Amos.
Mr Aidan's invitation was long forgotten by her.
Inside the Chancellor's office, the smiling man raised his head and looked at the man in a black suit standing in front of his desk.
"Do I look good?" He asked as gave a little stroke to his moustache.
"...," The man in the black suit was left speechless with his question.
"I just asked you a simple question so why are you looking at me like that?" He demanded, frowning.
"You look absolutely amazing, Sir," the man in a black suit was quick to reply. The last thing he would want to do was get on the bad side of the mean man.
As his assistant, he would be the one who ends up suffering if he does that.
"Even though you didn't say it, I already knew that I look my best," He spoke with pride as he adjusted the golden wristwatch around his wrist.
"Yes…,"
"So what is the development now? Is she almost here?" Mr Aidan asked as he looked at the black door. He listened carefully to check whether someone was coming but unfortunately his sensitive ears couldn't pick up any footsteps close by.
"Our man informed us that she left the lecture hall in a haste. I believe she will be here in a minute or two," The man in a Black suit responded.
"I remained on campus up till this moment just for her. In a few minutes, she will make my wait worth it," An evil grin linger on his lips as he adjusted the black necktie around his neck.
Meanwhile, as Mr Aidan was waiting for Joanna's arrival, Joanna on the other hand was already out of the campus gate.
As Joanna hurried into the dark into the bright street illuminated by the street lights, she didn't notice that someone was secretly following her or should I say watching her.
With the speed, she was going Joanna reached the cafe faster than she would have done if she wasn't hurrying.
A block away from the cafe, Joanna paused walking in front of a glass wall.
With her fingers, she arranged her slightly messed up hair.
"I can't go this way or he will realise that I was running," Joanna muttered. She exhaled deeply a few times to regulate her throbbing heartbeat.
"Hoo… I guess I am ready now," Joanna smiled at herself through the transparent wall.
She turned and proceeded to the cafe which was located on her right-hand side.
Getting to the front of the cafe, Joanna raised her gaze and peered through the glass wall.
The scene she met made the excited young lady stop in her tracks. Her eyes moved from one face to the other.
Seeing a smiling faces as they talked happily made Joanna grab her chest. She subconsciously takes a step backwards, her gaze not moving from their smiling faces.
[Why does it hurt her so much?]
Joanna's grip on her chest tightened.
Her chest tightened when she saw Amelia move closer and whispered into Amos' ears only for the two of them to burst to laugh.
[In the past he only had eyes for me. He didn't let any other woman come close to him as I do…]
The tingling sensation around her eyes made Joanna close her eyes.
[Has he fallen out of love with me and chose her instead? Is it just my wishful thinking that her feelings are one-sided?]
Just then he raised his gaze to peer out through the glass wall.
Joanna, who had seen this coming, disappeared in time before he could see her.
She appeared a street away from the cafe. Dejectedly she walked further into the dark streets.
"Maybe this is what I deserve for always hurting him in the past," she muttered and kept on walking aimlessly on the lonely streets.
She was about to turn to the right, the path leading to her home when suddenly she felt as though someone was following her.
So she would not alert the enemy; she pretended not to be aware of his presence and continued walking.
A few minutes later when she had estimated that the lurker might have let down his guard, she turned around.
"Who is there?" She demanded coldly.
