As she tried to meet up with her time of resumption for work, Joanna kept her hopes alive by having positive thoughts.

Thinking negatively would not only ruin her mood but the rest of her day and that is why she tried her best to keep negative thoughts at bay.

At the cafe, Joanna met a very busy environment. Noticing that work was overwhelming she rushed to the counter ignoring all the noises around them.

"I will go get changed now," Joanna said to Mrs Parker holding a tray of orders in her hands.

This wasn't her first time seeing Mrs Parker assist them with serving the customers and that is why she didn't freak out.

"Hurry up," Mrs Parker replied. She hastened to go deliver the order to the man who was already calling for her attention.

Joanna dashed into the changing room lockers and opened the tall brown locker with her name on it.

Even though she wanted to take her time to dress up, the loud noises coming from the main cafe wouldn't let her do that.

Joanna was careful in taking off her white dress to avoid getting it stained.

She hung the dress on the hangers and picked up the blue work shirt and black trousers she kept on top of the tall locker.

Without wasting time she slid the shirt into her slender body.

As she was busy tying her long hair, she spared a bit of her time to take a peep at her cell phone.

The disappointment was apparent on her face when she confirmed that she doesn't have missed calls or in boxes.

"After seeing me walk away like that how could he be so cruel not to call or text me at least once?" Joanna muttered. Out of annoyance, she threw the cell phone into the locker not caring whether or not the screen breaks.

"The Kay I know would have called and texted me to the point that my cell phone shuts down so why is he acting indifferently now?" Joanna mumbled.

She never really saw the value of his constant calls and text messages until today.

"Was Audrey's guess that my rejection hurt him true? Is this why he is acting this way?" Joanna was in a world of her own forgetting that they were people outside waiting for her to come out and loan them a hand.

Joanna shook her head realising that she was beginning to have bad thoughts she has been avoiding.

"I believe that nothing works more magic than talking things out in a relationship just like Drey said. So I will await positive results. And I will make sure I get back at him for all these after we settle our differences…," The violent slamming of the door made Joanna jump up.

She spun and looked at the door ready to attack whoever startled her.

"It's you, Mrs Parker!" Joanna exclaimed, not able to do what she had in mind.

"If you are done then will you get your ass out of here, we need help in there," Mrs Parker said with a frown.

"Ok, I will be out in a minute," Joanna replied as she jammed the locker door close.

Mrs Parker had no patience to wait for her to finish up so she returned to the cafe first.

Before Joanna left the locker room, she exhaled deeply thrice.

"Girl, you need to relax and get your acts together if you want to keep this job," Joanna warned herself.

The reason she took on a job was to be independent. She didn't want to rely on her careless father or wicked stepmother for her survival.

At least she should have something to fall on in case anything happens in the future. That way she won't be left stranded.

Joanna left for the main cafe after she was done.

"Take this and deliver it to table four," Leah shoved the tray containing strawberry dessert and two cups of coffee to Joanna the moment she arrived at the counter.

With the order in her hands, Joanna hastened to go and deliver the order so she would have time to answer other customers.

"Over here please?"

"Hello?"

"Come here?"

"Why isn't anyone taking my orders?"

Almost all the customers were talking at once and this kept Joanna and her colleagues on their toes.

With how busy they were for over three hours Joanna had no time to think about Amos.

After three hours of running around, the cafe became a little free.

"Gosh, that was hectic!" Joanna exhaled as she leaned against the counter.

Although Mrs Parker's cafe wasn't doing badly, ever since she started working here she hasn't seen the place as crowded as it was today.

Standing there enjoying the peaceful atmosphere that has returned to the cafe once again, Joanna's eyes subconsciously went to Amos' special table.

Her eyebrows creased seeing that Amos still hadn't shown up.

"Why isn't he here?" Joanna muttered with a clasped fist.

Joanna was distracted and didn't see Mrs Parker approach her. Reaching where she stood Mrs Parker stared at the girl who was oblivious of her presence.

Mrs Parker lifted her hand and touched Joanna's right hand laid on the counter.

"What's wrong? You have been distracted lately unlike your usual self. Is there anything eating you up?" Mrs Parker asked out of concern.

[How could you ask me that when you and your cousin are responsible for my problems? I wouldn't be so miserable if you didn't introduce your cousin to him]

Joanna clenched her fist as she looked at Mrs Parker in silence. She was afraid she would take out her frustration on the woman standing before her if she opened her mouth.

"Is there something on my face?" Mrs Parker said while touching her face.

Joanna looked away realising that she had stared at the woman's face for too long.

"You have nothing on you so you don't have to worry," Joanna said.

Just then the glass door dinged open and immediately Joanna diverted her attention to the entrance with hope in her eyes.

Her countenance fell on seeing that the customer that just arrived wasn't Amos

"Are you waiting for someone?" Mrs Parker asked when she saw sadness in Joanna's eyes after her hope got crushed again.

"If it's him you are waiting for then I will advise that you don't waste your time because at the moment he must be too busy enjoying himself to think about someone else," Mrs Parker said.

She only needed to say this much to get Joanna's full attention.

"What do you mean?" Joanna demanded. For a moment she forgot that she was talking to her boss.
