Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 531  Joanna Jumped On Mrs Parker\'s Body

"The sooner you realise just how much power that title holds, none, I mean nobody will have the effrontery to treat you like an ordinary person because nothing about that title is ordinary," Mrs Parker tapped her on the shoulder.

She turned to leave but Joanna grabbed her hand.

"I understand the point you are trying to make but we don\'t have enough time to write a play and rehearse it to perfection...,"

"It doesn\'t have to be something elaborate. The play will be just perfect if it highlights some of the important events that took place back then... I bet it will be even more thrilling if you added some of the ancient dance," Mrs Parker reassured her.

Joanna let go of Mrs Parker\'s hand and leaned against the counter once again.

"I was not in existence back then so how on Earth am I gonna know their ancient dance?" Joanna voiced out her plights.

"You are right about that...," Mrs Parker mumbled absentmindedly.

"But I heard that the ancient dance is what people of The Great Golden Pack perform on their annual festival which is kinda similar to our carnival," Mrs Parker added.

Joanna was about to ask Mrs Parker who was referred to as The Great Golden Pack when she remembered Jocelyn.

"Are you trying to say the dance Jocelyn called their signature dance was the ancient dance you mentioned?" Joanna blurted.

Her gloomy expression lit up in an instant.

"What are you saying?" Mrs Parker asked in confusion since she couldn\'t decipher what Joanna said.

"In addition to the idea Mrs Parker gave you, you can add modelling too," Leah who just arrived at the counter chirped in.

"Modeling is way too common. I am sure so many groups are gonna do that...,"

"And who said you were gonna do the regular modelling hmm?" Leah asked her head cock to the side.

Her confident words pinged not only the interest of Joanna but also that of Mrs Parker who was about to leave before she got there.

"Do you have a better idea?" The curious Mrs Parker and Joanna couldn\'t stop themselves from asking the confident lady.

"Instead of the usual modern clothes runway, your group can go for the ancient attire. Or you can do a combination of both the ancient and the modern attire," Leah relayed excitedly.

"Merely thinking about it and my entire body is vibrating in excitement...,"

"Yours and Mrs Parker\'s ideas are superb, no doubt. But the problem boils down to where I am gonna get the costumes," Joanna voiced.

"Also, my group members loathe me. I doubt whether they will agree to any of my suggestions...,"

"The ideas Leah and I gave are fabulous. I know there will definitely be a few objections but believe me that they will agree if you present your ideas to them well," Mrs Parker assured her with a tap on the shoulder.

"You talked about where and how to get the costumes....,"

"Yeah that is a big problem on its own since these ancient costumes and the instruments we will need for the play are no longer in use," Joanna stated her fears without beating around the bush.

"As for the ancient clothes for the modelling, I don\'t know how your team is gonna get your hands on that....," Mrs Parker let her words linger.

The expression of Joanna who was looking forward to getting more assistance from her fell the moment she said those words.

"But as for the instruments for the play your group needs to perform with, I know of a place in the Kingdom which will have them even though every other place don\'t have them...,"

"And where is this place?" Leah and Joanna chorused, their eyes sparkling in anticipation.

"Hmm...," Mrs Parker trailed off, pretending as if she was in deep thought.

"That is a secret," She blurted after arousing their interest even more with her hesitation.

"That is not fair...,"

"Let me know if your group accepts the idea and I will have the instruments delivered to your school in the quickest time possible...,"

"Are you serious?" Joanna was too excited to believe Mrs Parker\'s words.

"I am looking forward to seeing your group showcase that play on D-Day so how could I ever joke around with that...," Mrs Parker choked on her words the moment the happy Joanna jumped on her.

Just like Mrs Parker, Leah was dumbfounded at Joanna\'s action.

Her dropped-open mouth and bulging eyes were evidence that she never saw that coming.

"Thank you, Mrs Parker. I wouldn\'t have known what to do without you," Joanna muttered, her grip around the astounded woman growing firmer.

"You are the absolute best," She smiled radiantly.

"Seeing you so happy makes me so relieved that I was able to help," Mrs Parker whispered. She raised her hand to pat Joanna\'s hair but the excited lady who was unaware of this pulled away from her before Mrs Parker\'s hand could reach her hair.

Just then a customer called for their attention and Leah who was at the front of the counter hurried to attend to him.

At the counter, Mrs Parker tried to leave Joanna to her work but Joanna stopped her.

"Mrs Parker, if our plans get accepted by my group there is a possibility I won\'t be able to show up for a few days," Joanna, who could already foresee that things will get hectic the following day, said.

"And as such you can cut my pay for the days I can\'t come to the cafe and perform my duties….,"

"You can take a few days off as you want but I promise you that your pay will remain intact…,"

"Why on Earth would you pay me for the days I am absent?" Joanna challenged her when other people would have jumped up in excitement after hearing Mrs Parker\'s proposal.

"I thought we had already agreed that you will keep treating me like you have always done in the past so why…,"
