Joanna took a closer look at the guy who just introduced himself with another name.
No matter how many times she examined him, the conclusion was that he was Kayden.
Even though she was to be woken up from sleep and asked to recognise him she would have done that with ease so why on Earth was he denying that he wasn't her Kayden.
"What Amos are you saying you are. You are Kayden…,"
"Kayden?" A lady's voice repeated Joanna's last words.
Raising her gaze Joanna was stunned to see Audrey standing in front of her. In a flash, she quickly pushed the guy standing beside her to her back.
She used her body to obstruct him so that Audrey won't see who he was.
If she was to ask why she did that she wouldn't have had an answer for that.
"You just said Kayden, where is he?" Audrey asked, looking around in search of Kayden.
"Did you hear me say Kayden?" Joanna asked, pretending like she didn't know what Audrey was talking about.
"What would the King be doing on campus, you must have heard it wrongly," Joanna said, faking a smile.
Bringing her gaze back to Joanna's face, the first thing Audrey noticed was the uneasiness on Joanna's face.
She looked anxious for some reason. Audrey was about to press Kayden's topic further when she got a glimpse of the person Joanna was trying so hard to hide in broad daylight.
"Who is he?" Audrey asked curiously. She moved to the right to get a glimpse of the guy's face but Joanna also moved in the same direction, blocking her view.
She repeated the same thing to the right and Joanna obstructed her view yet again.
"Who is he and why are you obstructing my view?" Audrey asked displeasingly.
Audrey was still trying to outsmart Joanna to get a look at the guy's face when she recalled how sneakily Joanna has been acting lately.
"Was he the reason why you were in a terrible mood all day? If he is your boyfriend you don't have to…,"
"Hey, stop… stop spewing nonsense, he is not my boyfriend," Joanna's stammering made her look so guilty.
She felt like slapping herself hard on the check for messing up at such an important time.
"If he is not your boyfriend then no problem, let me have a look at his face," Audrey said. She held Joanna's hand and tried to pull her out of her way but the stubborn Joanna refused to move a muscle.
"He is very shy and…,"
"If he is too shy and can't even show me his face then how is he gonna get my approval huh?" Audrey asked. She tried to push Joanna out but she didn't budge.
[Knowing her temperament very well, I am almost certain that she is gonna make things difficult for Kay in front of so many people and I won't let this happen. I must somehow save the situation]
While Joanna was busy worrying, the curly hair guy standing behind her was secretly beaming.
"He…,"
"Sorry Drey, today is my first day at work so I can't afford to arrive there late. I need to leave now," Joanna hurriedly said. She grabbed the guy's hand and hurried away before Audrey could stop them.
"Why is she acting sneakily like she committed a crime? Doesn't she know that it is not a bad thing to fall in love?" Audrey muttered, her gaze centred on the back of the girl who was almost running.
At first, Audrey wanted to escort Joanna to the cafe but since Joanna left without her, she had no choice but to go back home.
When she realised that they were far away from the University premises Joanna let go of Amos' hand.
"There is nobody here so you can stop pretending now. No matter how superb your disguise is I have seen through it at first glance so quit it now," Joanna said angrily.
"I was planning to tease you some more but seeing that you have seen through my disguise then I won't keep on acting," He finally admitted to being Kayden.
"Why are you dressed like this and what did you mean when you asked me to address you by another name…," Joanna paused midway when she recalled what he told her two days ago.
"Was this perhaps the surprise you were talking about?" Joanna asked in astonishment.
"Bingo!" Kayden said beaming.
"Kay, you are crazy, right? How could you do this? Don't forget your title as the…,"
"Everyone may address me with whatever title they want but to me, I am nothing but just a helpless lover who is hoping that the woman I love will spare me a glance," Kayden said emotionally.
He walked to the bench kept not far away from where they stood. He sat down there with his head lowered.
Joanna stood there and stared at him not knowing what to do anymore.
She walked over to the bench too and sat down beside him without saying a word.
"I know you think I am insane and I am sure others who know about this will think that I have lost my mind too but I don't care…," Kayden said fiercely.
"I want to be around you and the only solution that I could come up with that will not bring you any harm or unnecessary attention was this," Kayden said. He turned and looked at her.
"I love you. I have told you this so many times but you won't believe what I said. I believe maybe you will feel my sincerity if I become someone ordinary like you instead of the aloof King…,"
"Are you sure this is what you want? Think carefully about this Kay because living an ordinary life after enjoying the taste of being a king isn't that easy," Joanna said in a bid to change his mind.
Kayden smiled at her, "Wasn't I once an ordinary person before I got chosen as the King so what is so difficult about being who I was?"
"Also, for your sake, I can do anything and be everything. Where can you find such a man huh?" Kayden asked playfully as he nudged her gently.
