Bedding My Vampire Mate-Chapter 554 Mrs Parker’s News
"Yeah...,"
"I just had awesome news to break to you that was why I couldn't wait. It was never my intention to cut short your sleep. I apologise," Mr Parker apologised.
"That is not necessary," Joanna replied. She rubbed her drowsy eyes one more time and stood up from the couch.
"I had intended to wake up early too. Let's just say you help me to meet up with my schedule," She twisted her reply so her caller won't feel guilty towards her.
"And you said you had great news to tell me, what is it about, Mrs Parker?" Joanna addressed the woman with the proper title.
"Ohh... I wanted to tell you that I had all the musical instruments and costumes you would need for your play delivered to the campus this morning....,"
"What!" Joanna exclaimed. She was just in front of the bedroom door but her legs refused to move forward because of the news she heard.
"Mrs Parker, don't tell me you are trying to pull a prank on me?" Joanna asked, her right hand placed on her excited chest.
"I am serious. You can call the school management and confirm what I said if you don't believe me," Mrs Parker said in a serious tone to convince Joanna she wasn't pranking her.
"We both know that it is difficult if not impossible to lay a hand on those items so how did you pull this off?" Joanna demanded.
Her excitement was immediately replaced with curiosity after Mrs Parker assured her she told the truth.
"Where did you get it and how...,"
"I thought I told you I won't disclose how I managed to get my hands on the items so why are you still wasting your time on a question you won't get a reply on?" Mrs Parker interrupted her sharply.
"But...,"
"Leah and I are rooting for you and your team over here. Remember to give it your best shot. You can do this," Mrs Parker cheered her on and disconnected the call after relaying her message.
"She is so mysterious. I wanted to know how she managed to get her hands on those items... I wanted to know the best way to thank her for this favour," Joanna mumbled, her gaze fixed on her cellphone's dark screen.
Joanna opened the door and sauntered into the bedroom, still feeling disappointed that Mrs Parker cut the call on her before she could discover how Mrs Parker managed to lay her hands on the materials for their play.
"Drey...," Joanna paused what she wanted to say after she realised that Audrey wasn't there.
Because of how neat the bedsheets were she needed no one to tell her that Audrey didn't sleep on the bed last night.
"Drey would have informed me if she wanted to sleep over at her parent's home but she didn't so where would she have gone..." Joanna put to death her thought when it dawned on her where Audrey spent the night.
"Damn... how could I forget that naughty girl now has a boyfriend," Joanna mumbled and ambled to the bed.
Just when she was about to sit down Bacon flew into the bedroom and landed on the bed beside her.
Her face lit up the instant the bed perched at the spot close to her.
"You are back, Bacon," She exclaimed and lifted him off the bed so that he was sitting on her hands.
"Now show me everything my man did yesterday while I wasn't beside... Let's see whether we would be able to spot those after his life in today's video," Joanna spoke to the bird as if she was speaking to a person.
And truly Bacon proved to be more than an ordinary bird when a blue holographic screen appeared on the wall after Joanna finished talking. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒏𝒆𝒕
Because she was worried Amos would come to harm when she wasn't around him, she specifically assigned the mission of watching over him to Bacon. And she did these for two reasons.
Apart from the fact that she wanted to be the first one who comes to his rescue if he falls into danger, she had hoped she would be able to get more information about the mysterious group who was after his life.
Although Bacon has kept an eye on him for the past three days she hasn't been able to get any meaningful leads on whose Amos enemies were.
Joanna watched as Bacon displayed the video of the routine Amos performed from the moment he woke up to when he got out of bed.
"Hey Bacon, I never told you to film him while he took a bath, so why are you such a pervert?" Joanna who had already covered her eyes with her hands when the scene of Amos taking a bath came on scolded the bird in her hand.
Joanna's lively mood changed drastically when the scene of the incident at the rooftop the previous night drew near.
She wanted to avoid reliving the scene of seeing her lover in pain but she had no choice but to watch everything because she was scared of missing an important detail that might have taken place during that time.
Although people would say it was just a mere video of what had already taken place, rewatching everything made Joanna's heart hurt as much as it did when the incident occurred.
No... in fact reliving the scene was worst than when it happened because she felt triple the pain.
Last night she was left with no choice but to act as if she possessed no heart but she couldn't hold back her tears when she relived that moment.
The pains should have subsided when the scene at the rooftop ended but her heartache started afresh when Bacon displayed what happened at the basketball field with Mr Fin.
"So he returned to the palace... no wonder the status displayed mission completed last night," Joanna mumbled as she kept her eyes fixed on the holographic screen.
"He must really hate me right now, hmm, Bacon?" Joanna whispered. She lowered Bacon on the bed, stood up and strolled to where the video reflected on the wall.
