"I am not" Joanna's meek reply did nothing in calming Audrey down.
"You rejected him after such an elaborate proposal?" Audrey asked with both her hands placed on her waist.
"So what were you expecting from him after rejection?... Were you expecting him to spread his hands and embrace you for a job well done or did you expect him to act as though nothing happened?" Audrey said not sounding sympathetic anymore.
All this while she had thought that there was a possibility that her best friend was wronged but hearing it from the horse's mouth that she was the one at fault she dared not indulge her anymore.
"He didn't look hurt at all after I rejected him. Besides this is not the first or second time I have rejected his proposal. He is way too thick-skinned to get hurt by my rejection," Joanna said. She stood up on the rectangular stone so she won't have to strain her neck to look at Audrey.
