Audrey was a bit taken aback when she saw that the man standing in front of them was none other than their Chancellor.
She composed herself and tried to mask her surprise when she noticed the way the man stared at her.
"Are you ladies alright?" Mr Aidan said his gaze centred on Joanna's wounded hand laid on the counter.
"If you need help then be free to ask us because we are more than willing…,"
"It's ok, we can handle this alone," Audrey cut in.
"If you say so then we will pay our bills and leave you ladies to handle things over here," Mr Aidan forced on a smile despite that he was secretly clenching his fist.
He brought out a brown wallet from his trousers, opened it and started counting notes.
The rustling of the notes didn't freak either Audrey or Joanna. All they wanted was for the old men to leave so they could lock the cafe and leave also.
