Chapter 266 Amelia Confronts Joanna

Joanna pulled away and held the book containing the girl's orders so Leah had a good look at what was written on the notepad.

Leah's eyes widened after her sharp brain summed up the amount of what the ladies had ordered.

"You…," Joanna placed her index finger on Leah's mouth, not letting her reveal her schemes out of excitement.

"Sshh…," An evil grin plastered on Joanna's face as she removed her finger from Leah's mouth.

"I know you must think I am an awful lady but you can't blame me for that," Joanna's nonchalance as she walked to the coffee machine made Leash rub her eyes.

She couldn't believe she got to see a different side of Joanna she hasn't seen before all because of the mean ladies.

[If she could do such a thing because of a guy she isn't in love with then I wonder to what extent she would have gone if Mr Handsome was her lover?]

The mere thought of it alone made Leah shudder.

"They were all eager to look good in front of him. You can't blame me for making use of their weakness. If there is anyone at fault here it is them for being b*tches," Joanna mumbled, grinning.

She continued with what she was doing. Because there were no orders at the moment, Leah assisted Joanna with preparing the ladies' orders.

Not long after Joanna delivered the ladies' orders the dumb guy excused himself.

"Relax and just do like I said," Joanna said in low tones to the guy she deliberately brushed past.

She stood and watched the guy as he proceeded toward the restroom. She was very distracted and didn't noticed someone walked up to her.

"Are you also crazy about him like other ladies?" The warm breath of the person that brushed against her skin coupled with her voice made Joanna jump up.

"Hey, you scared the hell out of me, Mrs Parker," Joanna complained, holding her pounding chest.

"Someone who didn't do something wrong wouldn't easily get startled so why are you scared?" Mrs Parker asked the lady whose throbbing heartbeat she could hear from where she stood.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

Her heartbeat was as if someone was playing the drum.

"Were you so startled because you were caught drooling at him by me?" Mrs Parker teased.

"I was drooling at him?" Joanna scoffed while rolling her eyes. "tsk… how could you make such an absurd assumption?" She asked, not sounding pleased at all.

"Also, who in my shoes wouldn't freak out if you sneaked up on him/her like you did to me?" She retorted with a frown.

She was about to walk away when Mrs Parker grabbed her right hand and pulled her back to her previous position.

"Do you have any orders for me?" She quizzed.

"You don't have to worry about the girls. I have a lot of experience in handling brats like them so leave them to me," Mrs Parker informed and released her hand.

"Be careful while dealing with them because they are not average brats like you think," Joanna forced a smile. She moved to the counter afterwards.

Since Mrs Parker said she would deal with the girls, Joanna had one less thing to worry about.

Joanna was at the counter preparing a cup of iced-americano when Amelia walked up to her.

The first thing she did was to let out a dry cough. Unfortunately, her trick to get Joanna's attention didn't work because Joanna pretended as though she didn't understand the meaning behind Amelia's dry cough.

"Joanna," Amelia called out softly and leaned her back against the counter.

"Yes," She replied without sparing Amelia a glance.

"I saw that Amos was the one who dropped you off. Also, I saw him talking to you earlier. What did you guys talk about and why didn't he come in to see me?" Amelia was straightforward with her question.

An evil grin appeared on Joanna's face after she learned about what was eating her up.

[You have always used every opportunity you got to rub your closeness with him on my face. Let's see whether you will be able to handle the same thing I went through?]

An evil idea popped into her head as she stood there with the glass of iced-americano in her hand.

She dropped the glass of drink on the grey tray and turned to look at Amelia.

"We spent the night together so it was natural he dropped me off or don't you think so?" Joanna asked with her chin lifted higher than usual. There was a bit of pride on her face as she crossed her legs.

"What!" Amelia yelled with her mouth hanging open.

"The two of you slept together?" Amelia asked in a more composed tone.

"It looked like you were paying a great deal of attention to us so why didn't you come out and talk to him? It looks like you have a bunch of questions you need him to clarify," Joanna ignored Amelia's question.

Joanna's reply didn't go down well with Amelia and the frown that soon appeared on her face showed it.

"Stop acting cocky…,"

"Yes, I will be there in a jiffy," Joanna shouted while waving her hand in the air. She spun and grabbed the tray containing the customer's order.

"As you can see I am very busy right now," Joanna faked a smile as she walked past the lady standing in her way.

With the tray in her hand, she proceeded to the table at the far end of the hall.

As she walked passed, the five ladies shot murderous glares at her. One even tried to trip her but she was smart enough to dodge the lady's leg.

[Be thankful my powers are gone because I would have made sure you are not able to make use of your legs for a week]

Joanna clutched the table as she acted as though nothing happened.

"I know you must be grateful that I helped you get rid of those annoying ladies but you don't have to thank me," Joanna expressed with her gaze lowered.
