Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 340 The Unexpected Call

"And I will make sure to shatter that dream of hers in less than five minutes," Sophie muttered.

She opened her diamond pouch and took out her cell phone. Immediately, she dialled a person's number.

"What are you up to and who are you calling?" Nora asked curiously. She stared at Doris hoping she would know what Sophie was up to but even Doris was as clueless as her.

"Do you want to know what your big star is up to right now?" This was Sophie's first sentence the instant the recipient answered the line.

They listened to Sophie talks to whosoever was on the line.

The call lasted only for a minute but within that one minute, Sophie was able to achieve her purpose of the call.

"Who was that and what are you trying to do?" Nora asked curiously, seeing Sophie take a picture of the four people who were now at the counter trying to settle their bills.

"I will tell you after he is gone," Sophie relayed. A sweet smile crept up on her pretty face as she forwarded the picture to heaven knows who?

"After he is gone?" Doris repeated in confusion. She and Nora exchanged puzzled glances.

Seeing Sophie smile for a minute there the two girls thought she had lost her mind due to frustration.

Joanna, Raymond and the others proceeded to the entrance after settling their bills.

"I was surprised when I saw that your friend owns a sports car and the latest model, but I am astounded to see that he has a black card," Raymond said as they walked to the red car in front.

His words made Joanna momentarily halt. She turned and stared at him.

"This makes me very worried about his source of livelihood and his family background," He whispered. As he talked he took note of every reaction and movement she made.

Although she tried her best to compose herself, she couldn't control her faltering eyelids and her salivation.

Even her clasped fist gave her anxious state away.

"What does he do? And which household is he from?" He finally arrived at the question which was on his mind from the beginning.

Derrick was wondering why Raymond would ask Joanna such a question when he saw her nervous state.

How the usually confident lady couldn't look them in the eye coupled with her erratic heartbeat made him realize that there was a reason why Raymond questioned her about Amos' identity.

"Ray is right. He could be a bad person and from a household who has malicious intentions against you and your family…,"

"He is not like that," Anthony blurted. He couldn't stand anyone slandering his Big Brother Kay in his presence.

"How are you so sure of that Anthony?" Raymond asked. Since Joanna wouldn't say anything he decided to move to Anthony instead.

"Do you know his origin or his last name? And why are you so sure he won't harm your Big Sister?" He asked softly.

"That is because…," Joanna reached out her hand and covered Anthony's mouth for fear that he might let the secret of Amos' identity slip in such a crowded place.

"The three of you get nervous anytime the question about his identity is brought up. What is the problem, Miss Butterfly?" Raymond asked sternly.

"Is there a secret about his identity that others shouldn't know? What on Earth are you hiding….," The ringing tone of his phone made Raymond pause what he wanted to see.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

Irritatedly, he shoved his hand inside his trousers pocket and brought out his phone.

He had planned to reject the call but he changed his mind, setting eyes on the Caller's ID.

"I want you back in the agency right this minute…,"

"But…,"

"Nothing you say will make me change my mind about this so get your ass down here right now," A cold voice at the other end commanded fiercely.

"We are in the middle…," Raymond was stunned to see that the caller had disconnected the call on him.

His mood hit rock bottom the moment the call ended. He stared at Derrick and the guy who loves playing more than anything else didn't look better either.

"What happened? You both don't look good at all," Joanna demanded, noticing their fallen expression.

On one hand, she was happy that they didn't continue with their interrogation and on the other hand, she was worried about the phone call that lasted for not more than thirty seconds.

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "Actually, I wished to spend more time with you but regrettably I have to leave right now," Raymond relayed the bad news in a sad tone.

"Did something happen?" She asked.

"He was supposed to be at the location of a commercial shooting about two hours ago but he refused to go because he was reluctant about leaving you…,"

"What?" Joanna shouted with her purple orbs bulging out of their sockets. "But why?" Joanna asked in confusion.

There are only two people who accord such importance to her in this entire universe. She was shocked out of her wits to know the extent Raymond went for her sake.

He did so much for her and she was busy grumbling and feeling unhappy from within because Amos left.

"That is to show how much he likes and values your friendship," Derrick muttered, smiling.

None talked after Derick's last sentence. The atmosphere became awkward due to this.

"I really want to drive you home but we are in a bit of a rush and can't…,"

"It's ok. We will be fine by ourselves so there is no need to worry about us," Joanna assured him with a smile when she realised that he was reluctant to leave.

"Your naggy friend will surely get mad at us if he learns that we left you here…,"

"I know how to handle him just fine so there is no need to worry about that too," Joanna cut in softly.

Although her reply was meant to put their mind at ease Raymond wasn't happy to hear it.

"If you say so then we are going to leave you now," Derrick spoke, noticing that Raymond had no intention of saying anything.

"You can make use of this car since you are in a rush," Joanna said and pointed at the red car parked some distance away from where they stood.
