"What is wrong?" Kayden hurried to her side. The anger in her eyes, while she stared at him, made Kayden confused.
He didn't know why she was angry when he was the one who should be after she brutally rejected his proposal yet again.
[I barely rejected him not long ago and the system wants me to seduce him? This must be a freaking joke right?]
Joanna glared at the innocent guy who was genuinely concerned about her.
He lifted his hands and held her shoulders, "Did I do something wrong?" Kayden asked when she would not stop glaring at him.
<Mission deadline: 2 months>
Joanna ran her ten fingers through her well-styled hair when the notification popped up again.
It was after this notification came that Joanna realised the mission wasn't a joke as she wanted to believe.
She looked like a freak acting this way but she didn't care.
[Hey, I have always thought that you hated me so much but you have now proved my assumptions to be very true. Did He perhaps bribe you]
Joanna bit her lower lip to suppress her anger.
"Aren't you leaving?" Joanna asked in a distant tone. The way she stared at Kayden was so cold just like her tone and this made Kayden a little worried.
Although she had rejected him yet again he was not affected by her rejection but seeing how she was acting right now, he was beginning to doubt whether he was too confident about the result.
[I think I need to try harder by speeding things up. That's what I will do]
Kayden stared at her without answering her question.
Joanna frowned when Kayden only looked at her face without uttering a word, "Don't tell me that you are gonna insist on spending the night here again".
"I am leaving but before I do there is something I wanted to ask you but forgot to do earlier," Kayden said.
"And what is that?" Joanna asked nonchalantly.
"The news that your stepmom and stepsister ran mad last night in the heavy rain after seeing your ghost is the trending topic now…," Kayden trailed as he stared at her face keenly to see what her reaction would be.
Seeing how composed she looked after what he said further proved his hunch correct.
"Do you have something to do with what happened last night?"
Joanna turned her back on Kayden when she couldn't suppress the urge to laugh after recalling the incident at her home the previous night.
"I am a weak and innocent girl, how could I ever pull such a prank on an intelligent woman like Adhara?" Joanna said as she tried her best to resist the urge to burst out in a peal of deafening laughter.
"Maybe they were pricked by their conscience last night and that is why out of a guilty conscience they began seeing things that don't exist," Joanna smiled as she talked and because her back was facing him, he could not see the evil smirk on her face.
"Really?" Kayden asked suspiciously as he stared at her back.
Only a fool will believe what Joanna said although she tried to make it sound so believable.
Six months have passed and yet her ghost hasn't appeared so why did it choose to appear on the same day she returned?
And why would Adhara see Joanna's ghost when the person in question is well and alive?
Only a fool would believe in such a coincidence and he happens not to be a fool or anywhere close to being foolish?
He knew she must have been responsible for it although he didn't know how she flawlessly managed to execute it.
[I guess the one standing before me is not that innocent Joanna everyone bullied in the past. A person who is capable of making Adhara lose her mind showed just how capable she is]
Kayden thought, still staring at her. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't see her turn to look at him because of his silence.
[It doesn't matter whether or not she is still that innocent girl I knew in the past but what matters is that she is back and I will do everything within my power to protect her this time around…]
Joanna disrupted his thoughts as she waved her hand at his face, "Kay, don't tell me that you are having naughty thoughts about me right now?"
"Naughty thoughts like what if I may ask?" Kayden asked as he took big steps forward and covered the space in between them.
Joanna's eyes widened in shock. She tried to move backwards but Kayden grabbed her by the waist and pulled her even closer so that there was no space between them.
Joanna raised her gaze to glare at him only to be trapped by the intensity of his gaze.
Her heartbeat increased against her will. It took just a passionate gaze and a little closeness to soften the heart of the once furious Joanna.
"Have you stripped me naked in your head or are you already at the stage where our body interconnects?" Kayden asked with his husky voice that exuded endless seduction.
He raised his left hand and held her chin lifting her head so that she would not avoid his stares under any circumstances.
"If that is your wish then I don't mind fulfilling it…,"
"What… what… what…," Joanna found out that she couldn't construct one sentence correctly for some reason.
"I didn't say it's me who is having naughty thoughts about you so why are you trying to call white paper black?" Joanna said on her third attempt.
"How do you know what I am thinking if you are not thinking the same?" Kayden asked as he caressed her face passionately.
"You…You...," Joanna was left speechless by Kayden's words.
"Why do you need to imagine it when you can have it and even enjoy it to the fullest?" Kayden bent so that his mouth was only a few inches away from meeting hers.
He smiled when he saw her close her eyes.
[Hehe… my woman is such a bad liar. I wonder whether she is doing this deliberately to tempt me]
Kayden stared at her lips which were waiting to feel his warmth.
He contemplated whether or not to grant her wish and in the end, he kissed her when he realised that she would get angry if he chose not to satisfy her.
Joanna subconsciously trapped him by wrapping her hands around his neck.
Kayden kissed her gently. Although his kiss was gentle and sweet, it caused a lot of havoc to Joanna's system.
She started kissing him roughly when she wasn't satisfied with his gentleness.
As they kissed he made her move backwards until her back was pressing hard against the white wall.
At first, Kayden merely wanted to tease her. The stage they were in right now wasn't a part of his plans but it just so happened.
Kayden left her mouth and brought his mouth to her exposed cleavage.
"Ummm…," Joanna groaned in pleasure as she held his head and buried it in her breasts.
