BXBX NOVEL Chapter 178 Mrs Parker's Cousin
Joanna\'s gaze turned murderous as she stared at the lady who was about to pull out a chair opposite the one Amos sat on.
Frantically, she turned and searched for what to do.
Seeing the tray of ice Americano laying on the coffee counter, Joanna picked it up.
She started walking in big strides towards Amos\' table.
"Joanna, that is not his order. Besides you are the one who always served him so you should know that is not his specialty," Leah tried to warn but Joanna was already about two steps away from Amos\' table which happened to be not far away from the counter.
Reaching there Joanna pretended like she tripped and bumped into the lady in a pink short dress.
"Sorry, I tripped," Joanna apologised without any sense of remorse. As she turned to drop the tray on the table she glared at Amos.
"It\'s ok. Mistakes occur, I don\'t hold you accountable for that," the young lady said in a refined tone which made Joanna roll her eyes.
[One who would be deceived into thinking that she is a sweet lady because of her gentleness but I can already tell that behind that angelic expression lies the true her…. Hearing her pretentious tone makes me recall Tiffany. What a fake she is!]
Joanna lost control of her powers and grabbed the ceramic floral tray tightly.
"Did you mistake someone for his order, Joanna?" Mrs Parker questioned her gaze concentrated on the tray in Joanna\'s hands.
"Where is your mind, Joanna? How could you make such a mistake when you are the one who always served him anytime he patronizes us?" Mrs Patrick scolded.
With the ladies talking Amos deemed it not right for him to intervene.
[Why did she lay so much emphasis on the words \'You are the one who always served him?\'... Is she belittling me by calling me a lowlife while her sister is the Madam]
Joanna\'s mind was hyperactive more than it has ever been.
She glared at the woman in a pink dress standing by her left-hand side.
Her grasp on the tray subconsciously grew tighter causing the glass of Iced Americano to shake violently in rhythm to the trembling of the tray.
"And did the tray and the glass annoy you in any way?" Mrs Parker asked, pretending as though she didn\'t see Joanna\'s piercing glares directed at her.
[Let\'s see whether she will remain calm after today]
Mrs Parker smirked inwardly.
"Is that why you want to break them…," The lady in the pink dress held Mrs Parker\'s right hand and shook it gently.
"I know it must not have been a deliberate action so there is no need to be so harsh on her, Auntie," the lady in pink spoke up for Joanna.
"Amelia, you are just too kind. If I was as kind as you I would have long gone bankrupt…,"
"Auntie…," Amelia, the beautiful damsel, tucked Mrs Parker\'s hand once again.
Although she wasn\'t as pretty as Joanna she wasn\'t lacking in terms of beauty at all.
The fact that she had proper manners was a bonus to her.
Her features were sharp, making her stand out among many women. Her shiny long brown hair that cascaded her back added a lot of charm to the already beautiful lady.
"Miss Amelia, I appreciate your help but I don\'t think it\'s proper for you to annoy your Auntie just to stand up for a stranger like me," Joanna said, not sounding polite at all.
No matter how hard she tried she couldn\'t hide her hard feelings toward the lady she met not long ago.
If only Amelia wasn\'t messing with the wrong man may be Joanna wouldn\'t have been so harsh.
Joanna averted her attention to the guy who hasn\'t uttered a word ever since she got there.
[Why is he so usually quiet right now?... He seems to be enjoying this. Don\'t tell me he had taken a liking to this fake personality lady at my side?]
Joanna clasped her fist while staring at Amos\' neutral expression.
"What are you still waiting for? Won\'t you get him the correct order now or do you need me to remind you about that," Mrs Parker questioned sternly.
Joanna bent and carried the tray from the table, "I will get that done right away," Joanna said, turning to leave.
There was so much anger in her heart as she proceeded to the coffee counter.
"While at it don\'t forget to get Amelia an espresso…," Amos let out a dry cough as he stared at Mrs Parker.
"Are you ok?" Amelia hurried to his side. "Have a glass of water. I am sure you will feel better afterwards," she picked up the glass of water laid on the table and brought the glass to his mouth.
Joanna halted and spun in time to see Amelia trying to feed him the water.
"I can drink it by myself but thanks for the care," Amos said, he extended his hand and collected the glass of water from her.
"At least he still has some decency left in him," Joanna muttered as she continued with what she was doing before the interruption.
"I won\'t disturb you, youngsters, anymore. I will give you space to talk freely," Mrs Parker smiled at the both of them.
She turned and left after secretly passing a signal to Amelia.
Mrs Parker moved to the coffee counter to join her employees.
As Joanna was in the process of getting the order ready, half of her attention was on what she was doing while the rest was used constantly on peeking at Amos\' table.
At Amos\' table, Amelia specifically chose the brown chair opposite Amos.
"Judging from your reading glasses I am not wrong to say that you love reading right?" Amelia was quick to initiate a conversation.
"You are right," Amos replied as he stole a glance at the coffee counter. His gaze was focused on one lady even though there were three ladies at the counter.
"I understand you love reading but why do you wear glasses even outdoors…," Amelia asked, her gaze not moving away from his face.
"Do you perhaps have problems with your eyes?" Amelia asked worriedly as she raised her right hand and stretched it towards Amos\' face.

Because of the review, I feel so optimistic about this month. I have this amazing feeling that more surprises are gonna come my way this September 2022 from you guys.
Guys please prove me right and surprise me by completing the goals listed below.
One more thing before I list our goal for September, I just want to say a big thank you to all my readers who supported me exceptionally last month.
Thank you and let\'s do even better this month. GOALS FOR SEPTEMBER, 2022.
GOAL 1: 1K (1,000) = 6 chapters mass release. As long as we reach 1,000 privileged chapters unlocked this month, this lovely author here is gonna surprise you guys with 6 chapters mass release.
Please, guys, support me to reach this particular goal this month. I promise I will be good to all of you.
Also, you don\'t have to buy the highest privileged tier if you can\'t afford it. No matter the tier you purchase as long as you unlock the privileged chapters daily, this author here is gonna be forever grateful to you.

GOAL 3: 100 Power Stones = 3 chapters mass release. Guys, I realised recently that there is a mistake I have been making concerning this particular goal.
The power stone goal is a weekly goal and not a monthly goal. And this is because the power stone ranking gets renewed every month.
Now you know this, then what are you waiting for? Give me all your power stones and stand a chance to get 3 chapters mass release every week.
P.S: Don\'t forget that there is also a reward attached to SUPER GIFTS so send the gifts coming... (Coughs) I won\'t reject it if you decide to send me a MAGIC CASTLE or a SPACECRAFT.
