"Guys, I don't know what I was thinking. I just recalled I didn't offer you both anything to eat or drink," Joanna said. She stood up and tried to walk away but Raymond held her hand.
"It's fine," He replied.
"Yeah, it's fine. Although you didn't offer us anything I think your presence made up for that," Derrick answered while beaming at her.
Joanna sat back on the couch afterwards. "Since you are the one who said it then I will believe you then," Joanna replied.
None of them talked for two minutes following Joanna's last sentence.
"Guy's, can I ask for a favour from you?" Joanna asked politely. Her gaze moved from Raymond's face to Derrick's.
"Say it and as long as it's within our power we will do it," Raymond responded as he stared at her face.
"There is an important lecture I must attend but I am forbidden from leaving the house alone…,"
"You were forbidden from leaving the house?" Derrick asked with a bewildered expression.
