Chapter 279 - Gregory Light (2) (1/2)

~ Los Angeles ~

Early afternoon, a cab stopped in front of an impressive European style estate in an affluent Los Angeles neighborhood, and Gregory Light stepped out. He was greeted at the door by a woman in her early forties.

”Hi Greg! I was surprised to get your call... what brings you here?” She beamed from happiness to see him.

”Hi Rebecca”, Greg greeted her back, like a real gentleman, bowing slightly. ”I'm here on business. It was a sudden arrangement.”, he vaguely explained.

”Come, let me show you to the guest bedroom to freshen up.” She was obviously excited that he is going to stay with her.

Rebecca is a plastic surgeon with private practice on Beverly Hills. Her patients are high-end clients, mostly from entertainment industry. She is one of lucky ones which don't need to advertise their business, but clients exchange information on who did their latest 'improvements'.

”Thank you.” Greg entered the house after Rebecca. ”I'm really sorry to trouble you on such a short notice.”

”Nonsense!” She gushed. ”It's always nice to see you. I enjoy your company very much.”

She led Greg to the guest room and gave him privacy to shower and change clothes.

Greg reviewed his plan in his head few times: he will stay at Rebecca's place, get her to find him Jeff's address and give him a car. He wants to find JoAnna, gets his hands on her, and he is still not sure how he will make her come with him, but he will figure that part later. First, he needs to find her, and his lead to JoAnna is Jeffrey White. Everything that he needs to pay, he will do it with cash. In that way, if police investigates, there will be no trail of him being in Los Angeles. Perfect. The only liability in his plan is Rebecca. But he knows that she is blindly in love with him, so he can manipulate her as needed.

After he freshened up, and took some rest, Greg found Rebecca in the garden. He approached her slowly, with a wide smile on his face. ”I would like to ask you for a favor...”

”Tell me.” Rebecca was dazed. She was attracted to him, and Greg was aware of that.

Greg hesitated for some time. ”I feel silly to ask for this. My assistant made a blunder... ” He sighed, looking troubled.

”Oh, come on. I will help you if I can. Feel free to ask.” Rebecca was eager to help him out. She would do anything to win his favor.

He looked as if he is considering to speak or not. And then finally said, ”I need home address for Jeffrey White, CEO of White corp. my assistant misplaced it.”
