Chapter 514: Reality check

Meanwhile, the girl in question did not know that she had been busted. Her plan was exposed in front of the man she was eyeing, and he was preparing to deal with her and end her chapter from his life. Amber was more worried about getting inside the manor than anything else. The guard in front of her was getting on her nerves, and she was just short of slapping him in the face. 

"Do you think you can lie to me and stop me from entering the manor? I know this is all that woman's ploy to keep me away from my man. She is such a bitch. I am going to kill her once I meet her." Amber shouted like a mad woman, and the guard was getting frustrated as time passed. She had lost all her manners and was lashing out at him like a lunatic. He was sure that by the time he finished dealing with her, his ears would be swollen and bleeding.

'She is dressed in expensive clothes but her mouth is filled with gutter water.' Although the guard tried to stay civil with her, it was becoming impossible to control himself any longer. She was outright humiliating him for no reason, and his pride was wounded. His countenance changed suddenly, and he held his rifle tight, ready to shoot the girl if she were to speak another word of nonsense. 

Amber took a step back when she noticed the man's sudden shift in demeanor. He looked furious and ready to kill her if she were to speak another word. "I...I.. want to meet your Master." Her tone softened considerably, and she made a pitiful face, trying to evoke the man's sympathy and protectiveness. This always worked and she hoped it would work too. 

However, she was wrong. The guard had seen through her act clearly, and he remained unfazed. There was no change in his whatsoever. She was clearly a drama queen, and he wondered who would be in their right mind to be her boyfriend. 'I really pity the man named Joshua. Either she is a good actress and has put up an act in front of him, or he blind stupid to ignore her irritating character.'

"I have already told you, Miss. The man you are looking for does not stay here. This is Major General Rupert Meyer's manor." He replied patiently one last time, and he was just about to close the gate when a car drove towards them. "Miss, please move." He ordered and opened the gate wide, allowing the car to enter inside.

Amber's eyes twinkled when she saw the car, and instead of moving away, she stood in front of the vehicle, stopping it from moving any further. The guard now had enough of her drama, and even though it was against his morals, he did not have another choice. The girl had been shameless enough to stop the car and even more shameless to give him a smug look.

"Miss, what do you think you are doing? Get out of here before I call the maids and get you thrown out of here." He threatened. But it did not work on the girl, who suddenly seemed to have become more confident. She was grinning in joy, and the guard had a feeling that he was dealing with a mental patient.

"What is happening here?" A woman who seemed to be in her mid-fifties stepped out of the car and looked at the girl who had stopped her. She was dressed modestly, and Amber could not recognize any of the items she was wearing. They looked cheap. However, she could not ignore her strong aura. It was utterly domineering and confident. "Who is this lady?"

"Madam, the Lady here came to the wrong address. I was just directing her away from here." I guard replied, and the woman nodded at him before she smiled at the girl. She then got inside her car. She was just about to close the door when the girl stopped her. She had been so fast in approach her that the guard could not stop her in time.

"May I help you?" The woman asked, her smile not leaving her face. However, Amber gave her no face, and she just stared at her rudely.

"Who are you?" She blurted out, without caring about her image or manners. She was perturbed to see the woman here, and she wondered if she had come here to meet Joshua.

The guard now had the sudden urge to slap her for her impudence. He cursed himself for not sending her away in time. 'This woman is serious trouble. My head will explode if she stays here any longer.'

"Young Lady," The woman's smile slipped, and her face turned serious. "Aren't you being a little rude on our first meet? I don't know you. Shouldn't you be speaking politely to me?" Although the woman's face was devoid of any mention, she was still polite and patient with her.

"Oh, yeah?" Amber stopped suddenly when a notion hit her. 'What if she were Joshua's relative? I cannot showcase myself to be bad in front of her and ruin my image in front of Joshua. I need to be careful.' With that thought, she pushed her arrogance away and smiled at the old woman.

'What is this crazy lady up to now?' The guard wondered. Her sudden change in expression sent him on high alert, completely creeped out by her smile.

'Please forgive me, Madam. I was wrong to have spoken to you this way. I was just stressed at not being able to meet my boyfriend." Amber reasoned and waited for the woman to reply.

Although she tried to appear as gentle as possible, the woman was not convinced. However, she did not point it out either. "It's fine, young lady. Please be mindful of your manners from now on."

Without another word, she got inside and closed the door. Amber's face turned red in anger, and even though the woman had noticed it, she did not care about her. It was she who had been rude in the first place. She drove the car in, not giving any face to the girl, and the guard secretly cheered at him Madam's strike. She had smacked the girl on her face and her arrogance without even lifting her hand.

He did not waste another time to close the gate, forcing the girl to stay out of the manor. "Lady, let me give you a reality check. You are at the wrong address. Your boyfriend does not live in this area, and as far I remember, I don't think there is any person living by this name around this area too. This is a military-owned area, and all the people who stay here are in the military. Let me ask you a question."

The guard tried to be humble one last time. "Does your boyfriend work in the military?"

Amber shook her head immediately.

"I guess you got your answer then. You can ask around the area if you want if you do not believe me. Please don't waste your time here. The man named Joshua does not live here."
