Chapter 281 - Fake girlfriend (3) (2/2)
Sarah looked at Jeff who was obviously lost, not knowing what to do. She decided to suggest a solution. ”Tell Anna.”
Jeff frowned. He didn't want to involve JoAnna into troublesome things. Especially not something related to his work. ”No.”
Sarah explained: ”If you do something, you are aware that she can easily label you as a bully. That is why you don't know how to handle this… However, if you do nothing, this Martha person will continue. You lose either way. This is a fight for women. Tell Anna. She will know what to do.”
Jeff was still not convinced.
”You don't believe me? Ask your brother... when someone tries to claim him, who is the one that chases all the wanna-be-girlfriends away?” Sarah proudly lifted her chin.
Jeff looked at Aiden, waiting to hear more from his brother.
Aiden nodded and said dotingly. ”She is right... very efficient... fierce. You will be surprised.”
Sarah liked that he praised her like that and leaped next to him on the sofa. He put his arm over her shoulder, and they looked at each other in the eyes, slowly inching one toward other. It was obvious that they are about to kiss.
Jeff cleared his throat. ”This is my office, and these are work hours. Go back to work.”
Sarah and Aiden laughed. ”Yes, Boss!” They exclaimed in unison and walked out of Jeff's office.
Jeff rubbed his temples again. ”Acting like teenagers...”
”Boss...” Steve spoke in quiet voice and pointed at the door. ”Miss Hill...”
Jeff looked at Steve guessing what he wants to say. ”Yes, Steve... my girlfriend is Sarah's sister.”
Steve solemnly nodded. Now he understood why Sarah was upset to hear that another woman says that she is Boss's girlfriend. But he still didn't understand why it looked that his Boss is afraid of Sarah...

That evening, after dinner, Jeff sat on the sofa in the living room and called JoAnna to join him. ”Anna, honey... I have something to tell you. Promise me to listen until the end and not come to any conclusion before I finish.”
JoAnna agreed and listened to his story about Martha Hindin, how she is talking at office that she is dating Jeff, and even claiming that she is woman in tabloid photos... ”...and Sarah told me to tell you, and you will know how to deal with her.” Jeff finished.
Jeff watched JoAnna with anticipation. Her eyes were closed, and she rubbed her chin slowly with a lot of force. She was silent for few minutes before she opened her eyes.
”This woman says that you belong to her?” JoAnna spoke more to herself than to Jeff, and her hands clenched tightly into fists.
JoAnna was sitting in silence for few minutes before she asked him, ”At what time do employees at White corp. head out for the day?”
”Around six.”
JoAnna nodded. She had a plan. ”Tell Steve to spread around that your girlfriend will come and visit you at five, through main entrance.”
Jeff's eyes lit up. ”Really? You will come and visit me tomorrow?”
JoAnna smiled and made a small nod as a response.
”Should I do something?” Jeff was excited to see what she planned.
”Just act normal.” JoAnna's smile widened. ”But keep your calendar free after five, if possible.”
”That will not be a problem. I have something planned for tomorrow.” Seeing that JoAnna was about to ask about his plan, Jeff interrupted her. ”Don't ask, it's a surprise...”
