Audrey was still in disbelief despite having guessed Amos\' real identity.

No matter how hard she thought, she couldn\'t find any reason why the number one man in the Kingdom would take on the identity of a commoner.

Why?

What was his reason for taking on a new identity?

"Your Majest…," Chris paused what he wanted to say when his eyes met Amos\' deadly glares.

"I meant Sir," He corrected himself without waiting for him to do that.

"It\'s not that I deliberately want to make things hard for you. Something came up…,"

"Let\'s get out of here because I don\'t know what I will do to you if anyone sees us together," Amos said angrily. He turned and took the left pathway with Chris following him closely.

If only he had taken the pathway by his right they would have seen Audrey hiding behind the statue.

Audrey stepped out of her hiding place after making sure that they were far gone. Staring at the direction they took, a lot of questions flooded her mind, causing her to be momentarily confused.

[This is not the time to think about his reason for being Amos instead of Kayden so Audrey gets your act together… He deceived us. That is what you should be thinking about so don\'t you dare get confused]

Audrey scolded herself realising that her confusion was making her miss the most important point.

[He didn\'t even stop at deceiving us but he had the guts to make my poor best friend fall in love with him to the point of no return. This is unacceptable!]

Audrey clasped her fist when she recalled the several nights\' Joanna returned home heartbroken because of him.

"I pushed her into realizing her feelings for him, what have I done… I can\'t believe how hurt Anna will be when she learns the truth and it\'s all my fault," Audrey ran her ten fingers through her well-styled hair.

Merely imagining Joanna weeping made her heart tighten.

"What am I gonna do with that best friend of mine now?" Audrey muttered. Her chest tightened more when she recalled that she had already set up everything for their dinner date.

She turned and walked in the direction she came from. She didn\'t take up to five steps when she stopped in her tracks.

"I think I should wait for her to return to break the news to her. I am afraid she might not be able to handle it if I disclose the truth to her now," Audrey mumbled.

She spun and walked to the glass entrance.

Reaching her apartment Audrey\'s heart bled for her best friend when she set eyes on the decorations she had put up.

Not long after Joanna left for work that morning, she called the services of one of the best event planning centres just to decorate her room into this perfect sight that it was.

She didn\'t want anything to go wrong on her best friend\'s special day. Audrey couldn\'t believe that despite being so cautious something still managed to ruin the day for her best friend.

Her chest heaved up and down the instant she set eyes on Amos\' picture she had framed on the wall for the special occasion. Her eyes burned in rage.

"This is all your fault," Audrey yelled angrily. She appeared in front of the picture frame.

Stretching her hand she ripped the frame off from where it hung and threw it on the floor.

Back at the cafe, Joanna was eagerly waiting for Amos to return oblivious of what had happened.

Joanna, who was brewing coffee spun and looked behind her the moment she heard the entrance door ding.

"Amos…," She paused what she wanted to say after noticing that the one who entered wasn\'t the one she had been waiting for.

Sadly, she brought back her attention to what she was doing.

Just then Leah walked up to her. "Joanna, leave it to me and go change into your casual clothes. Don\'t forget you have classes in less than twenty minutes," Leah said, reaching out her hand to collect the cup of coffee from Joanna.

"I still have a bit of time left so I will leave a bit later," Joanna said, not handing over the cup of coffee to Leah

"But…,"

"It\'s ok. Just go on with what you were doing and don\'t mind me at all," Joanna said, faking a smile. She swirled and placed the cup of coffee on an empty tray.

Leah looked at Joanna as she carried the tray of coffee and left the counter.

Although this is the most gentle Joanna has spoken to her ever since they started working together she didn\'t feel the least happy.

She had the same feeling a friend would have if her cheerful friend who normally pulls a prank and teases her goes all quiet overnight for no reason.

Leash felt weird for some reason.

"She loathes arriving late to lecture and that is why she always leaves the cafe thirty minutes early but why hasn\'t she budge though she has less than twenty minutes left before her lecture," Leah mumbled, her gaze not shifting from Joanna\'s departing back.

Because Joanna said she still had time left, Leah let her do as she wanted.

Ten minutes later Joanna didn\'t go in and change clothes nor did she show any sign of leaving any time soon.

For fear that she might have forgotten about her classes, Leah walked up to her once again.

"Joanna, you really need to leave now or else you are gonna arrive late to your…,"

"There are still ten minutes left," Joanna cut in. Her reply left Leah astounded.

She couldn\'t believe that the girl she knew not to joke with her studies was sitting leisurely even though she recalled that she had classes.

"I can just skip class today if that is what you are worried about. Besides, I don\'t have Mr Fin\'s class today," Joanna replied without moving an inch.

Leah stared at her not knowing what to make out of Joanna\'s sudden behaviour.

Just then she recalled that Joanna was sick.

"Are you feeling ok?" Leah blurted as she examined Joanna\'s body with her eyes.

Joanna whose gaze was on the glass entrance diverted her gaze to look at Leah. "Was I sick before?" She asked.
