116 Teasing

They will be leaving right after breakfast so that they will still have enough time to prepare for the ball, and everyone was already busy eating and chatting at the dining table when Elder Lim decided to tease his niece a bit."So Johanna, how was your exercise this morning? Is your body aching badly now, tsk, you shouldn't have pushed yourself, dear, when was the last time you visited the gym?" the Elder was looking rather happy at the pale expression of his niece, like "I just caught you red-handed trying to impress someone you little brat."

Everyone was watching Johanna like a hawk, she gulped hard, her throat suddenly went dry, she glared at her Uncle, how does she expect me to answer his question, this old man is not letting her off today, just when she was about to answer "I actually told Aunt Johanna that the area is really good for exercising Grandpa, so I told her if we could jog a little in the morning, but I was too lazy to get up early today." Marga then gave her Aunt a cheeky smile.

"Yessss, Margaret's right Uncle, you should have gone with me, but knowing you're already so old, I know you can no longer handle such outdoor activities." there take that you stinky old man, then she mouthed "thank you" to Margaret.

"Hmpft, who says I'm old?!If only I have someone to exercise with, why should I continue sitting around here and doing nothing, just like you did, finding someone to exercise with, am I right Johanna?!"haha, you think you're better than me with quirky remarks, you still have a long way to go, my beloved niece.

Johanna almost choked on her coffee, she was about to say something again, "Actually Mr.Lim, I just happened to come across Johanna when I was about to do my morning run, and since she did not know the place quite well, I invited her to join me." George butted in, he did not really find anything wrong that he and Johanna were together in the morning, so he did not find anything awkward at all with where the conversation is going, Johanna pouted heavily disappointed, was this man really that dense that he could not even tell that her Uncle was teasing the both of them, or the right term is teasing her.Here she was almost digging a hole for herself in embarrassment with her Uncles side comments, but the man still has a cold look on his face.

"I'm done with breakfast, Aunt you said you wanted my help to pack your staff right, let's do it right now."Marga hurriedly took her Aunt's wrist and help her stand going back to the room she was staying."So how was the morning run, was it eventful?" she teased."It was indeed Margaret, he was just so...I don't know perfect." then her expression became sad all of a sudden, "but I don't think we're compatible, I don't even think he sees me that way." she then turned towards the bathroom, "you better get ready for your ball Margaret, I have everything planned out for you today!"

Despite being distracted for a while, Johanna has not forgotten about the detail of her beloved nieces' ball happening today, she wanted to have everything set up for her, she invited all the business tycoons in Fountain Country, including the elusive Lord Chen, whom might be attending the ball or not.But as long as she extended her invitation as to avoid any confrontation in the future, he was after all a tycoon in Fountain Country.

Little did Johanna know that someone was in fact very excited for the ball today, he was going to seehis finest work.
