27 His Fiancé

"Hi, good morning. I'm here to meet with the President" Joanna gave her best smile to the receptionist. "I am sorry miss but do you have an appointment, not just anyone can see our president without scheduling a time for visit with him" one of the receptionist answered her.

Joanna looked at the receptionist with a smug smile. "Who said I was anybody?" "Ma'am we are sorry for the inconveniences but what my partner was saying is ...." The other receptionist tried to intervene. "Is what? I will have you know that I can get you fired in the blink of an eye. What insolence" Joanna snorted while glaring at both receptionists.

"Ma'am please there is no need to threaten any of us we are just doing our jobs. At least, give us your name so we can check with the President's secretary for any appointment" the first receptionist spoke. She was really tired of arrogant brats like this, if not that the job was paying well she would have probably left by now.

"Next time, how about try Madam instead of ma'am" Joanna retorted, she was already frustrated standing this long talking to two useless individuals. The receptionists looked at her and could not help but burst out laughing. The lady in front of them right now was so arrogant, she became a madam.

"Whose wife are you to call yourself our madam? it is not like you are the President's wife" The other receptionist spoke. Joanna only laughed at their impending doom, looking down at them like they were nothing more than ants she snorted before replying "I may not be his wife yet but you can inform them that his fiancé is around"

Joanna had a proud look on her face as she saw the receptionist gape at her in shock. 'That is more like it' she thought smiling at the look on their faces. One of the receptionist dialed the President's office and signaled Joanna to go to the top floor where the President's office was located.

As Joanna made her way to the elevator, the two receptionist could not help but discuss her. It was just funny seeing someone claim to he their madam shamelessly without even as little as a ring or a marriage certificate. The receptionists shook their head as they watched Joanna walk proudly to the elevator like everything else was beneath her.

Lester was in a meeting when Ryan came in. He frowned seeing his assistant come towards him, he already instructed him to not disturb him unless it was something absolutely important. Ryan walked ahead and bent down to speak yo Lester. "Sir, A lady who claims to be your fiancé is here". Ryan had gotten the shock of his life when he learnt Lester was engaged.

Lester could not help but snort hearing Ryan's words. How come he had a fiancé? He was not even dating yet not to talk of being engaged. He was really angry at whoever the idiotic woman might be. Lester dismissed the meeting and stood up to go over and see the impostor.

Lester had just opened the door yo his office when he saw Joanna in his chair. She was happily swiveling around without a care in the world. His brows furrowed at this. " Who the h*** are you?" he asked as he took large strides over to where Joanna was. Joanna who was still happy not less than a moment ago pouted hearing Lester's question.

Turning around to face Lester she gave a sexy smile, Lester couldn't be bothered with the strange woman in front of him. Looking at the woman he squinted before he asked again, this time his voice was icily cold "Who the h*** are you? And why in the name of God are you sitting in my chair?"

Joanna looked at Lester for a while and pondered if he was just pretending not to know or maybe if he just couldn't be bothered knowing who she is. "Why are you still sitting there?" Lester asked with a scowl seeing the woman looking at him like she was a retard.

Joanna was only brought out of her reverie when she noticed the man standing before was glaring at her angrily after he asked her who no knows what. Gritting her teeth she said "I am deeply hurt you don't know who I am. I know it's been a few years since we last met but this is too much"

Lester looked at the woman in his seat for sometimes before he finally asked "How am I supposed to know you? I believe I would remember you if you were anyone important but seeing that I don't remember you, you must have not made any impact on me" He knew he was taunting her but he didn't care one bit.

Joanna bit on her bottom lip as she fumed in anger. "Your parents and mine are friends and we all had dinner a few years back. My name is Joanna Tucker and ..." she was not yet done when Lester cut her off raising his hand to indicate for her to stop. "That's okay, you can leave now. Just looking at you I suddenly have a splitting headache" Lester looked at her like she was a repulsive object. He stared at her disdainfully before Joanna finally stood up feeling ashamed.

Never in her life had someone said such hurtful words to her but this same man she was head over heels for had said hurtful things to her not once now but twice.

Once Joanna left his seat, Lester opened a drawer and brought out a sanitizer he hardly used and sprayed it in his chair before he wiped it with some tissues he immediately discarded into the trash bin. He knew Joanna was watching him but he continued doing things to spite her.

When he looked at Joanna from the side of his eyes and saw her almost red with anger, he smirked. Lester had already recognised her the instance he steeped into his office but he pretended to not know her so as to spite her. He was really happy with himself.

After he sat down, he proceeded to take out some documents and started studying them intently. Joanna clenched her hands into a tight fist. "Are you not going to ask me what I am doing here" Joanna asked almost blowing off her top.

"I will not ask but I have a feeling you would be telling me anyway" Lester answered without even raising his head from the documents he was still studying.

Joanna scoffed looking at him "I came to invite you for a dinner for our two families to finalize our engagement" she said proudly.

"Hmm" Lester continued what he was doing as he gave his one word answer. Joanna was jot sure if he heard her or not, she frowned as she looked at him. "Lester, are you even hearing me at all? I just said we are having a family dinner and you are still reading whatever it is you are reading like I don't exist"

Finally, Lester placed the documents in his hands down. Looking up to meet Joanna's gaze he smirked. "I heard you, I couldn't just be bothered with you, if that is all the door is that way" he pointed towards the direction of his door as he said this.
