Chapter 459 You Are Insane!

"Also why would someone of his identity stakeout in the middle of nowhere when he has so many men to do that....,"

"Because he wants to put an end to this cat-and-mouse fight the soonest time possible," Chris interrupted in a serious tone.

"What cat and mouse fight are you talking about? And where the hell is he performing his stakeout?" Joanna demanded calmly.

"It's against the rules so, sorry I can't divulge any secret of our operation to you...,"

"I am searching for him and I can't find him if you don't tell me where he normally stays, help me out, huh?" Joanna was so desperate and didn't think twice about begging Chris.

"Sorry but I can't...,"

"If our relationship dares to get affected because you withheld information from me then I promise that I will hate you forever," Joanna resorted to threatening the stubborn Chris.

"I learned about how Kay treated you when I was gone. Compared to the way I treat those I hate I promise you how Kay treated you was good. Forget about treating you like a ghost because we won't be able to stay under the same roof...," Joanna paused so that her words lingered in Chris' mind.

"Believe me, you wouldn't want to be my enemy in this life or the next one if you ever get to experience what it means to be hated by me".

Chris stared at her face. He hesitated about giving in to what she wanted.

[It's true he will get mad if he learns that I gave her his location but he will be angrier if he discovered that I disobeyed her orders. I believe it's better to give in to what she wants than infuriate her and get ganged up on by the couple. This will be the worst scenario for me]

Chris was quick in analysing the pros and cons of his decision.

The last thing he wants to become is the enemy of the King's woman. His peaceful days in the palace will be over if that happens.

"I can tell you where he currently is but you must promise not to tell him that I was the one who disclosed his location...,"

"I won't," Joanna blurted. "My lips are sealed so, you can feel at ease," She gave him his words without any hesitation.

"Recently he stakes out at Diamond street. You will always find him there after midnight...,"

"You aren't lying because I am compelling you right?" Joanna shot him a suspicious glance.

"I am not the type to lie so you can trust my words," Chris asserted.

"Thanks for the info," Joanna said out of gratitude.

"I will go look for him over there now," She muttered and turned to leave.

"I doubt you will find him there at this time. He normally clocks out before it is bright outside," Chris dashed Joanna's hope with this short sentence of his.

Joanna's expression fell after hearing Chris' words. She turned slowly and gazed at him.

It was when she looked at him again she noticed that he was holding big black bags with both hands.

"And what are those?" She demanded, her gaze not shifting from the bags in his hands.

"He ordered us to refill his refrigerator with groceries and your favourite food. He wants to make sure that you lacked no food at any point...,"

"He had the time to call and pass orders to you but he couldn't call me after we separated yesterday afternoon," Joanna muttered as she glared at the bags in Chris' hands.

"If he cares so much about my appetite then shouldn't he care more about my feelings and what I truly want?" She looked away from the bags.

"Miss Joanna...,"

"I will go home now," Joanna announced. She spun and stomped out of the building.

Chris stood at the same spot and watched her walk away.

[Did she and Sir perhaps quarrel?... He can't stand her being upset neither can he tolerate not being around her so why on Earth would he do that to her? What exactly happened?]

Chris gazed at her moving back with a puzzled look.

Joanna was so furious as she made her way back home after her fruitless journey. As she walked she wanted to destroy everything that stood in her way.

Even the long walk didn't ease her anger at all.

When she reached home, she met Madam Cora, Adhara and Laura discussing in the sitting room.

They paused their discussion the instant they felt her presence.

[Here are the ones who always took pleasure in picking on me when I was at my weakest... I am afraid I will tear down my room if I climb upstairs now so why don't I do the same thing they always did to me in the past? I mean it's better than venting my spleen in my innocent room]

Joanna peered at the faces of the three women who made her life a living hell for over fifteen years.

"Why don't I return the favour now," She mumbled and approached the centre table where they sat.

"Hello Madam Cora, Stepmother," Joanna greeted.

The fake smile that lingered on her face made the three ladies wonder what the evil girl was up to.

Joanna grinned when she saw that their teacup was empty.

"I can see that your tea cups are empty," Joanna said. She bent and acted as if she wanted to carry the tea cups.

"Madam Cora, I will get your favourite Jasmine tea," She said and carried the white cup laid in front of Grandma Cora.

"Stepmother, I will bring your beloved chamomile tea," She smirked as she picked up Adhara's tea cup from the table.

"And Laura, I will get you a cup of coffee with plenty of sugar and milk like you normally love it".

She tried to carry Laura's cup but the angry lady violently beat her hand away.

"If this is another of your scheme to poison us then let me tell you that you have failed woefully...,"

"I haven't even started yet so why are you so certain that I have lost hmm?" Joanna beamed and stood erect.

"Also, what if I were to tell you that my hand you beat away was coated with poison hmm?" Joanna smirked devilishly upon seeing Laura's bewildered face.

"You are insane!" Laura shouted and hugged her right hand to her chest like someone who just touched dirt with her precious hand.

A/N:

Hello lovely readers, so first of all I want to apologise for being away for three days without notifying you guys.

It was bad of me to do that so I apologized.

One more thing there is something on my mind and judging from the kind of person your beloved author is, I won't have peace of mind if I don't tell you guys about it.

Like I informed you guys, my birthday was on the 18th of March, and will you believe it if I told you that out of all the amazing readers I have that it was only two readers who wished me on that special day?

I was so goddamn disappointed if you may know.

Let's drop aside the fact that I got no gifts from all of you, but why didn't any of you wish me on that day?

It was my birthday after all and I informed all of you about it beforehand just to prevent this from happening so why...?

I will be a liar if I say I wasn't hurt and heartbroken by your actions. And I am still hurting from this even as I speak.

I really thought you guys would always have my back in everything. I believed in your love for me so much but...
