Chapter 404 Mrs Parker Treated Her Differently

"He is not at fault for this so don't blame him. If anyone should be blamed for this it should be me for failing to accomplish the task he gave to me until the end," Mrs Parker said and bowed to Joanna.

"You are much older than me so why are you bowing your head to me? Besides you never did anything wrong," Joanna muttered.

She tried to make Mrs Parker stand with her head held high but the woman didn't move an inch.

"It's true my actions made you upset. Also, I remembered I have made you angry a few times in my eagerness to bring you and him together so I apologized for all the inconveniences I might have caused you too," Mrs Parker said and bowed even lower than she did.

Although Leah heard their conversations she didn't understand what exactly was going on. She watched all that took place in awe.

"I have also wronged you with my actions and words ever since our first meeting. I recalled crossing the line a few times. Although I did this with good intentions, wrong is still wrong so I apologise," Amelia said with her head bowed.

Joanna was trying to get Mrs Parker to stop and yet another joined. She was left speechless by their actions.

No matter how hard she thinks she couldn't understand why this family was so good to her.

They were already treating her as the Queen when she was still a nobody.

"What the hell is wrong with the two of you? Why are you doing this to me?" Joanna cried out and ran towards the changing room.

She left them with no other option but to stand up.

In the changing room, Joanna changed into her work outfit. Despite having changed she was reluctant to go into the main cafe after what transpired in there.

Mrs Parker came to the changing room when she realised that it took her a long time to dress up.

Entering the medium size room, Mrs Parker met Joanna sitting on one of the small cupboards.

"What happened? Are you not feeling fine by chance?" Mrs Parker hurried to her side.

The worried woman placed her hand on her forehead and examined her temperature.

She moved to check her body for injuries when she realised that Joanna's temperature was normal.

"I am fine. The issue is that I am not used to being treated like this...,"

"Now that you and His Majesty are romantically involved you will need to get used to it. Because sooner than you think, you both will get married and you will become the Queen....,"

"But I am not the Queen right now so I wish you all will treat me like you did in the past," Joanna interrupted. She stood up and walked towards the brown door. She paused just in front of the door and spun to look at Mrs Parker.

"To me, nothing has changed despite learning the truth so I wished you all will do the same...,"

"Even without your romantic relationship with His Majesty, your title as his mate alone makes your title higher than us so how could we bring ourselves to treat you as you asked...,"

"But you all did that in the past or didn't you?" Joanna cut in sharply.

"We did and that was because it was his royal order. We couldn't disobey him when he ordered us to treat you as we treated others," Mrs Parker replied. She walked towards Joanna.

"Joanna, this is the respect that everyone in the Kingdom should have accorded to you when he became the King. Although they failed to do that, this doesn't mean you should forget your title," Mrs Parker spoke in a soft tone.

"In the future, not only me and Amelia but everyone in the Kingdom will accord you with this respect so whether or not you like it you need to get used to this," She concluded.

"But that hasn't happened yet or has it? And besides, we are very close. There is no need for all this," Joanna said.

"I can imagine the number of times you have called my name in spite and even thought of murdering me. So, are you certain we are very close like you said?" Mrs Parker asked playfully.

Her question made Joanna burst out laughing.

"Although you are kinda right about that, I still think we are close. I mean without yours and Amelia's help, Kayden and I wouldn't be where we are right now. Maybe it would have taken me an eternity to realise that I have always been in love with him," Joanna smiled.

"So how did it feel being with him knowing that he was not the only one who was in love with you but you too?" Mrs Parker asked the lady who couldn't bring herself to stop smiling.

"Hmmm....," Joanna trailed. She closed her eyes and let the memories of the time she has spent with Kayden these past days flood her.

Her smile broadened even at the remembrance of the slightest thing that took place between them.

"It was amazing," She finally replied. "It was a kind of feeling I haven't felt before and I am so happy about this," She chuckled.

She and Mrs Parker kept talking. And time flew by without any of them realising it.

Joanna's eyes almost fell out of their sockets when she realised for how long she and Mrs Parker talked.

"Oh damn it! I need to go assist Leah now," Joanna stated. She hurriedly carried her cap laid on top of her locker.

"Relax, there is nothing to worry about when I am here," Mrs Parker said and grabbed the hand of the lady who was about to hasten out of the room.

"You are right about that but I am not used to that yet" Joanna smiled and rushed to the door.

She paused just when she had opened the door. She spun and looked at Mrs Parker.

"Also, don't worry about how Kay will react when he learns that you let the truth slip today because I will keep on pretending as if I know nothing about it," Joanna said and rushed out of there.
